REVIEW: Shaktivism Volume 2
I don't have a lot of time to write a long-ass review, so this will be short and sweet. I was very positively surprised with our night at Opium Lounge. The decorations and lights were wicked, and created a really nice ambiance. I had no idea you guys do this at the Psy events. To be completely honest, I expected something like CoZo, only on a rooftop. But man, even Skybar doesn't compare - really good job with decorating the venue. It was cool, and not packed, which made it an awesome atmosphere to get your dance on.
It was also wicked to blaze outside on the balcony and watch the primped-up Richmond St crowd mingle below you. Lots of space to sit too!
The sound wasn't the best I've ever heard, but that was understandable cause it was a rooftop patio and you guys can't really have it blasting like I would have liked. I was missing just a little more bass OOOMPH from the speakers, nothing more. Regardless, it was muuuch better than at SkyBar. Again, pleasantly surprised.
Last, but definitely not least, the DJs. SICKNESS all night long. We came in just before 1am, and left at 5:30am, and it was REALLY good Psy the whole time. Didn't really like the guy before Sketi, but after Sketi came on the decks, the music just became better and better. He threw down a nice hard set with a lot of "fucked-up" synths, but it wasn't too fucked up that we could actually enjoy it. The guy after him though, WOOOW. Virtual Light fuckin MUUURKED it. Puure awesome melodies and hard beats. That's what I love about Psy, and Virtual Light fucking delivered right on time. Loved his whole set - was dancing non-stop the entire time I was listening to it. Then came Mandelbrot, and he delivered his own style of very melodic, more relaxed Psy, and it was the perfect style to wrap up the night - it kept you going, but it wasn't like banging hard so you could just groove to the music and not get tired.
Awesome night in the end.
