verdict on surge:

went there with a couple of friends. Cost was $10 which isnt anything to complain about.

music: up top was Hard trance, basically the same kind of music you would hear at Sublime. Not really my thing but the crowd was really into it. It was LOUD. And I mean so loud that it hurt your ears and you coudlnt even talk to someone by shouting into their ear. Too loud IMO.

Down stairs seemed to be more uplifting but the sound system had some major problems and upstairs was so loud that you could hear the beat going. Imagine a silent or quiet moment in an uplifting song and all you can hear is DOOF DOOF coming from upstairs. The 2nd DJ I saw there basically gave up and stopped playing

Upstairs was really really hot, almost unbearable really. No aircon, just a few fans. Venue was ok, downstairs was really nice with couches etc, but its more of a bar/pub really, not a club. Dance floor upstairs was small and the bar went alongside the dance floor as it extended back so you had people pushing past you all the time.

Crowd was a bit too Oxford St for my liking, lots of guys in jeans and stripey shirts, girls in dresses etc Was a good looking crowd though and they were having a good time.

I think we would have had a really great time if the sound was good downstairs and wasnt to loud upstairs, but after a couple of hrs and the DJ downstairs stopping my friends wanted to go to Plastic so we left.

Dunno if I will go back there again, I think it could have been a good night but there were a lot of problems with it too

Yeh I went, that surge wasn't as good as the last Surge. The people weren't as into it either. Last time the crowd was going nuts. Also last time the upstairs DJ played much more uplifting trance
