Hey dudettes...
Came back my hols on Sunday and bloody hell am I still dying.. I think this is it.. my last days on earth..
sore head... pressure on my brain... when my pulse goes it reverberates throughout my whole body and then there's the sleeping... or the lack of it... instead replaced by hallucinations of the highest order... to the extent that I'm shouting help in my sleep...
i'm off it!!! (Until i feel better)
anyway 3rd year on the ole white aisle and it was very different from before...
SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS
It's quieter
the music is just as good
the space terrace looks like burger king
the money man has finally taken over......(850 Quid in a week)
For those interested...
Sunday
Bora Bora
Picked up a crazy new Australian mate (then quickly sacked him as he refused to get a round in). Bora Bora was awesome as always!!! Planes, Ladies and Sand really gets you in the mood for the one, the only....
We Love At Space...
Danny Howells, Groove Armada and Paul Woolford on the terrace
Was a cracking night just wish I could remember more of it
Superstyling blew the terrace away and I heard a wee tune you can help me ID... quite deep with no vocals just a big horn breakdown that goes doo,doo,doo,dooooo,doo, doo doo...
ha ha
Anyway space has the best crowd, the best dj's, the best atmosphere and the best tunes... I love it!
Monday
DC10
first time here and damn was it good...
negatives first...
Spanish people on the whole are very ignorant. They have no manners and do not know how to party. Sweeping. Stereotypical. Call it what you may it's my opinion and I can back it up on what I experienced last week.
It would be unfair just to lable DC10 with this negative. Everywhere had it however DC10 and Pacha were the worst. They banmg into you. They dance in your personal space and they take your drinks from the table. They are fannys.
However donot let this put you off DC10. The place is f***ing crazy!!! When the colonel Sanders lookalike lets you in and the police search your/car/crack/arse for drugs you come into a scarey scarey room. It's small and pitch f***ing black with the scariest house/electro/techno you will ever hear. It's dark and so deep that if you dance and fall in you won't be getting back out.
Anyway i scooted through here to the terrace and wow... Big Fun was hammering out the speakers and it was just spell binding!!! Full of Freaks, Geeks and anyone who could be arsed getting over there... It stayed open two hours later than it should of due to a f***ing pounding tania vulcano set... It really was a sensational night...
MANUMISSION
You have to go man... slag me if you like but it's a good wee night and with tom middleton and Do me bad things playing you can't go wrong... Fischerspooner played live on the main stage and i had a god night... It's all about experiencing this.. but it's more of a cabaret act than a club!
Tuesday
f***? What actually happened to Tuesday?? ZZZZZzzzzz
Wednesday
Subliminal @ Pacha
Was really knackered Wed but the intrigue of seeing hwat Morillo would do after Josh Wink warmed him up with some Nasty as f*** acid amused me....
And this folks is where mr money joined my holiday..
Pacha has finally turned it's self from night club to complete and utter money making machine...
48 Euros for a pre sale ticket and no free drink..
12 Euro Vodkas
More Cords than cargos
More Moet than Evian
More VIP space than dance floor
and a constant line of people just walking....walking and walking... I couldn't dance for more than 30 seconds without a greasy Spanish elbow in my face.
The music was good but Pacha has well and truly lost it and it actually spoiled this night.
Where's the ACIEEEEED!
Thursday
VIVA Opening at Space!
The complete opposite of last night!!
Free Entry!!
A Good Uk and Italian Crowd!!
Clive Henry warmed up fantastically with a cracking mix of Do What You Do To Me before Lawler took to the terrace at 2am... His set was awesome!! Drums and Drums and Haunting Vocals.... Three seperate people asked me if I was standing on a trampoline the tunes were just that good... Afetr two hours of pounding us (and a cracking duran duran dub) he finished up with the amazing Rythmique!! Stu Hirst should be a proud man for making a cracking tune!!
Misseurs slam then played the finishing set on the terrace which was a good ending to a cracking night!!! They played on two laptops which was cool and the finishing 20 minutes was a f***ing sonic assault from all sides!!! The tunes were absolutely cracking... I wouldnt even hazard a guess to a genre!! Lets just say they were grounbreakingly Swooshy!!! Just a shame there was only about 200 folk left!!
PS I havent forgotten about MR Money! 9 Euro for a San Mig is not on!!
Friday
Pure Pacha
Call me a glutton for punishment but when it's the last night you have to go for it... Another £100 quid from the bamk meant I could spend 50 euro on a bit of paper too see Yousef, Mills and Tong... If you want to know about the club read Wednesdays review... the tunes this night did make up for it slighlty..
I was expecting Yousef to play tribal deep house and then I forgot this is not 2000 and he's not a mixmag CD! The boy done good. The Joachim Phoenix lookalike seems to have addedd a bit of electronica to his bassy sets and f*** me is it good.... biggest tunes was that horn thing from the weekend.. What is it??
Mr Tong was his usual self.. The David Brent of Djing.. Staying cool for the kids and throwing his hands up in the air at exactly the wrong time... he played some good tunes including a cracking renix of David Bowie's Rebel Rebel but overall he has no direction. He throws on tunes much as he does on his radio show... one genre after another and it just doesn't work.... Hold on a minute a Spanish guy just lifted my drink... Anyway back to the tunes.. they were ok over all but after reading Tong in Pacha Magazine all my fears came true...
"Clubbing has lost it's glam.... There 's no extravagance anymore... We want to bring that back to Pacha"
Sorry Pete but give me a sweaty whorehouse factory, a big tune, the hand in the air of the guy next to me who I don't know and a drink of some fannys water.....That's Clubbing....
Over and Out
P.S See you out there next year!
