Unfortunate start to the night was $25 parking, since it was $10 when we were there for roger sanchez. And we missed guestlist, so the night came out more expensive than anticipated. The one brightside about entry is circa keeps the lineup moving fast. no dumb holding like most clubs.
On to the good: Doman & Pettigrew are really good, i missed having a place to listen to mainstream house music that wasn't too cheesy. Sets a good vibe and fun to dance too. Will have to check out a residents night in the future.
The carnival theme was interesting. Do they change the concept every week, or is that actually staying there awhile? i must say, getting drunk people to play carnival games is an effective way to make money lol.
When axwell came on he announced him sell during the song 'dirty south - let it go (axwell remix) so automatically set an awesome vibe...i love when headliners are announced, opposed to just speratically mixing themselves in to the last djs track. I loved axwell's set, he has some awesome talent on those decks, it seemed as if he was doing a lot of mashups. It was cool hears tons of familiar acapella's but in different remix's then what i've heard. The list of great songs is far to long to list, only one i'm disappointed not to hear was hi new remix 'hard fi - i shall overcome (axwell remix)' but other than that, he played everything i could have hoped for...even busting out feel the vibe. Axwell even has a trancy side to him, playing a remix of greece 2000 which was cool, and the new remix of toca's miracle.
The crowd who was there for the music was great, with good hands in the air moments, however over, i found it to be one of the pushiest crowds i've encountered, and maybe its just me getting older, but very immature like.
the coat check line at the end was the most rediculous lack of organization i've ever encountered, and everyone in line was a in animal trying to get to the front, it was rediculous. The topper too was once actually getting out coat, the staff was strolling along taking their sweet time doing nothing to improve conditions.
overall a good night though. |

that was an absolute zoo
I never saw a coat check line worse or even close to being this bad, I kept thinking how great Guv's coat check is lol
for over 30 minutes I felt like I was taking part in annual surprise buttseks party, and to top it all I got a bony elbow shoved into my jaw at the end, ouch!
going back to the review of the actual night - I had tons of fun :) my first time at Circa, and I was amazed and amused by the decor and different rooms and the washroom bar, tee hee :)
the opening Dj's did an absolutely fantastic job, great baselines, the mood was set perfectly
Axwell did not disappoint! I felt that my night was complete when I heard Feel the Vibe (I was raving about that track for a while)... it was also fun watching him on the decks, that guy has tons of positive energy, he was working hard :) Found you, let it go, feel the vibe, that remix of Toca, someone help me out and name more tracks?
crowd was super pushy, especially the gals, but oh well, nothing new there
didn't see any TA's except Kat-2famous4u and Sarina, Sashka thanks for being my partner in crime last night :) |

his remix of hard fi - hard to beat, is one of my altime favs by him, or house in general even...although i shall overcome doesn't hold a candle to it, it'd still be a super fun song to hear in a club. |

its a goddamned shame that such a brilliant musical night had to be ruined by the disgraceful..."death-trap"....coatcheck at the end. In five and half years of partying it up at wide array of clubs and afterhours, this was truly the first time that I was actually uncomfortable in such a mass of people.
Its a damned shame that:
a.) General human behaviour in times of stress seems to be to panic and / or get highly emotionally charged up to the point where you are actually endangering others around you. For the most part the crowd of people that were waiting for their coats were well behaved. All it takes however is the three or four drunk and ignorant pricks to attempt to push their way through an impossible throng of people to the point of resorting to violence. i stood in that inhumane mess for nearly an hour and i was truly sickened.
b.) It took the security staff far too long to respond to what was obviously a dangerous situation involving alot of people. Before they got involved in a productive manner (if you want to call it that) they were actually a hinderance. Ok so the unruly crowd opened up a door that was slightly ajar because of the number of people crowded into that space. As soon as this door opened a whole bunch of people obviously moved into this new found free space. I understand if the area was restricted but any person with half an inkling of common sense can tell that by forcing these doors closed again, you were creating a possible crisis.
Axwell was excellent...terrific mixing with some stellar mashups. the crowd was meh but the music made up for it. Its unfortunate that the incident at the end was so horrendous that i will not venture into that club again anytime in the near future.
Sorry for the rant guys but I'm a very patient person and this just plain disturbed the living out of me. |

Some remix of Greece 2000, Tell me Why, and that Sweet Dreams sample, is all i can think of right now.
Wish i'd known you were going, ohh well, next time. :) |
