Agreed - I really am hoping for some success for Pyramid.
My last visit to Circoloco last week really did make me seriously question if I would ever bother returning again unless under exceptional circumstances. The vibe wasn't great, musically it was very dull and as always once inside it was rammed. I also find the sound quality on the inside poor - the main room has been hyped up as one of the best on the island in the past but I found it overly bassy to the point that it actually hurt my ears.
Pyramid on the other hand last week was a real surprise - good atmosphere, good music (particularly when Maceo came on) and a very comfortable crowd level if not edging on the quieter side of things. Markedly improved from the opening party IMO and with some far stronger weeks to come later in the season. Ideally, this night picks up and that will be the end of my Circoloco visits.
It is impossible for there to be any vibe in those rooms what with the bunching, the heat and the security staring at you. It has to be mentioned again that the only people that are enjoying the party are those smashed on Ket.
Pyramid what with some of the lineups, cost of entry should be pulling in the numbers - It does need a bit of marketing to make it popular enough but not too popular.
It is just a basic night though and has no real identity that is its issue and the name??? It seems a little last minute gap filler and see what DJ they can rustle up that is free
