Last Weekend
Was fun but we’ve learned a lot.
First of all Friday. The Saint Bar, Halle’s new fancy club, is a nice initiative. Well designed, cool place to spin. But they should do something about their door policy. They are way too strict and that wouldn’t be a problem if the club was packed. But it isn’t. Loosen up babies and something beautiful may flourish. The way they are going down now isn’t alright. This deserves better.
Saturday was a day pregnant with high expectations. Dimitri From Paris, a man with near godlike status for us disco maniacs was spinning. Stereosushi a nice club with a solid line of guest dj’s (check Kerri Chandler (17/03), Jazzy Jeff (13/4), dj Spinna (28/4)). The only minus being the local BCBG peeps. And the club had an overdose of that last weekend. Fools being rude and having no respect for the dancers. Dimitri started stellar though. Recognised little of his spot on disco selection (first time I danced to Goldie Alexander without putting it on the decks myself). At the end (for us ‘cause we left earlier than planned due to too much fools on the dancefloor not dancing) he drifted of to a kind of house I like less (but still tres funky). I would have enjoyed this night so much more if there would have been an "No Ralph Lauren" policy at the door. I’m being elitist, I know, but I like a little respect on the dancefloor (and a little room too). And it’s not a coincidence that those being rude could easily be categorised by the clothes they wear.
I like using brackets (is this the correct word?), by the way.
