I was at that Space night and I have to say it was only ok at best. I think Space has lost a bit of its magic over the last couple of years. The line ups at we love are the same year after year, every single DJ who was on I'd seen over the last couple of years. The crowd was generally pretty good although you could tell there was a lot of people who go just because it’s 'Space'. Noticed a few moody looking beer boys but they soon disappeared as the night went on.
We got there for 6PM only the sunset terrace was open and it took a while to get going although the music was okay, Jason Bye was probably the highlight. The main terrace was average it was decent music to listen too but there was never an atmosphere in there, then hot chip came on and i can honestly say they were awful... Boring flat music that didn’t go anywhere every tune followed the same formula and with the persona they gave off no wonder the atmosphere was FLAT! saw them last year and they did the same god knows how they were booked again. I like their productions but DJ's these guys are not. Didn’t go in the Discoteca much so cant really comment on that room.
Security were on top everywhere and was starting to really piss me off at one point i put a chewing gum in my mouth and was taken to the side by two security who searched all my pockets and camera case. Two of my friends had similar problems and in the end it was starting to annoy the hell out of everyone and wasn’t really conducive to having a good night. They don’t appear to be bothered at all about cameras anymore though.
The best night I've had in Space recently was La Troya last year, am going to go again in Sept and will have to think carefully before deciding to go to Space again or not. Went to Cocoon on the Monday and that blew space out the water. Everything was better music, crowd, security, atmosphere although don’t use your camera there or you get a green laser shined in your face!
Highlights: Jason Bye, Audiofly, Woolford. Met some cool people and had a good laugh.
Lowlights: Hot Chip - most boring DJ's ever! Annoying security. Could have been any club really.
