Firstly thanks to all that saved me from the hell that would have been Hed Kandi and recommended this excellent event :D

Some brief observations:

Very good set from Darren Emerson and co in the main room which kept on going all the way through to 7am. The reaction in the room to Rocker and drop the pressure was amazing helped by the extended "tease you" remixes that built up and built up :lol:

AKA bar I could take or leave, as the name suggests it is a bar with music playing mainly full of drinkers chatting than clubbers dancing, to be expected I guess :?:

Awesome sound system in the main room - very very loud,never been anywhere (including Space terrace) where the music vibrates through your body like that, best sound system I've heard, don't know if it was brought in or always like that?

Good crowd once all the beer boys had left at 2 :( the club was rammed on eventual arrival (after 30mins queing in the rain even though we had prebooked??) with quite a mix of clubbers &people out on christmas parties that had stubbled in early. I did feel sorry for the people I chatted to in the que that were obviously big clubbers but in for a long wait to get in (if they were lucky). Someone needed o go round the whole club and remove all the pissed people who were stood in the middle of the main room "swaying in breeze" and replace them with the crowd that were outside :idea:

How many dealers 8O i must have been offered pills by at least 6 people the interesting thing was that they were all Russian (same in turnmills interestingly enough 8O ) and spent most of night standing around talking to the staff (wearing staff t shirts) when they weren't dealing. All this was of great amusement especially with 2 gentleman from the "London Port authority" patrolling around, not sure if they were interested in the matter of illegal imigrants or substances :o

Great sign at the end of the main room above the bar with what looked like a Pac man table:

I spent a number of hours chasing those ghosts and it didn't cost me a penny 8O

Now where to go in a few weeks for NYE........
 
The sound system is always like that. Personally I find it a bit bass heavy, you lose the clarity at the top end. Ministry's is still the best in the UK IMO and heaven when Danny T played was also amazing. And Amnesia pisses over anything in the world.

Glad you had a good night anyway! :D
 
The sound system did suit the music, perhaps you're right,I'm sure how it would stack up on more vocal or mid range stuff?
Not been to the ministry so can't compare and your right the Amnesia rig is pretty impressive, perhaps it was the vibration effect that was impressive :oops:

Hope to get to one of your sets at the SP soon mate :D
 
we got in at 11 by the time we went to the main room to the toilets and grabbed a drink they wernt letting one up to aka for half an hour it was that busy,some quality tunes got played,think i heard drop the pressure at least 3 times :D ,think all the dealers in there are polish.

dont remember no pac man there

Sorry for the confusion - there wasn't an actual Pac man machine there just a sign on the wall that looked like one. I had fun chasing the ghosts after eating the power pills ;)
 
What a top night - we queued for almost an hour to get in which was a pain and meant that we missed Marcus's set. I have to say AKA didn't really do it for me that much but the other rooms were kicking. Nice to see you Alex (and the new hair do) - that was the only time I sat down all night and I'm paying for it today with my back :roll: Went to Egg after - not been there before but thoroughly enjoyed it and met some really lovely people - thanks for the intros Dan ;) Buckely, as always it was a pleasure :lol:
 
Now you are seriously making me depressed.

I was all passed out from the night before (turnmills) and didn't make it to this one.. (yes, I'm getting old.. ;) )

:( :( :( :( :( :(



But what IS up with all the Russians (or baltic ppl?) @ turnmills?

They got Russian owners or something?

I even bumped into some russian guy in the bar.. like in his 50's trying to make conversation or something, but I think I was to busy....being wasted. 8O
