So, I've been saying I would check this place out eventually - and the time came on Monday morning. It was hysterical (for me) to actually be able to walk to an afterhours, when in the past it was usually a 60+ km commute one way just to get there. lol
We got there around 6am to a relatively busy room, full of lots of familiar faces. I really liked the space. Pretty rough around the edges, but the layout was awesome - and the sound was better than I expected it to be. The only thing I really disliked was the black lights directly in front of the dj booth, but I guess you find them in most afterhours venues. The crowd had great energy and vibes, reminded me a lot of Sonic - non pretentious, dancing with each other and respecting their space.
Addy was laying it down so fucking good from the minute we walked in there. Not sure how long he played, but I was so impressed with what I heard - in track selection, but mostly the diversity in his set. He ranged from his signature bangin' tribal house, but got so deep and soulful at times I just stopped dancing at times to take it all in. Honestly, the best I've heard from Addy - ever. We caught a bit of Rudee as well, and liked what I heard. Kept momentum going right until we left, around 11:30.
Overall, I think this place has great potential to last. It definitely needs a few tweaks here and there, and a lot more promo to get things rolling. I can't do the early morning parties as often as I used to, but I'll definitely be back when I decide to again.
