Probably the first review of the party
as Mrs SeoulSaint and I are now back in our hotel in Figueretas.
We arrived very early doors at around 4:40, and the queues to get in were minimal; ten minutes tops. We had no problems with the tickets purchased from the space site either. We first went to space in 2001, and even after all these years I still don't have a clue the names of the rooms are or how to get from one dance floor to the next!
Anyway, we stayed in the outside for the first few hours and there was a nice flow of djs with plenty of lighter sounds. We were quite looking forward to Barbara Tucker though so we wandered in to see her. Sadly though she sounded a bit ropey. Probably best to put that one down to a dodgy mic ;-)
A bit later we went back outside to see Steve Lawler; whatever happened to him? His sound seems to have got darker and techier, which isn't really my thing. Years ago he was much bouncier and even smiled.
After Lawler, it was back inside for a bit of relief by way of Bob Sinclar, then Peasy & Block with more real dance tunes rather than that awful techno durge. Kings of Tomorrow, Finally was fantastic.
We rounded off the night with a few random walk abouts in the smaller rooms and then half an hour of Morrilo, which was thoroughly enjoyable, particularly as we'd always made a point of going to his subliminal nights years ago at Pacha. If ever there's a guy that knows how to work a crowd, it's Erick.
Would've stayed longer but the outside was gridlocked and I was content that I'd paid my regards to such a fine club one last time.
All in all a superb afternoon/evening and well worth the cost. Will pop back mid morning if there is a sensible ticket offer. On the way out there only seemed to be about 40 or 50 people in the queue which was a bit surprising, as I imagined it would've been way more. Anyway thanks for the info on this thread and enjoy the rest of the night you crazy spotlight kids.
