Hey Folks,
Well, we are still in recovery mode from a hectic weekend which started on Thursday & ended up in the early hours of Monday morning, but included an another brilliant Sunday morning in the hands of our favourite weekly afterhours. It was great to see so many familiar & friendly faces as well as sample some top notch music, testament to the clubs award winning status.
And next week (Sunday 28th March) the dream story continues, as Beyond combines forces with ultra sexy & alternative Italian club Pervert, which graces London’s gAylist shores for the second time this year and is a tip top hot date to note in your diaries (if you haven’t already). We cannot describe how excited we are about this up-coming party, which will definitely give Beyond a new dimension and see Area packed to the rafters with a glorious combination of post “Lovechild Spring Affair” party goers & die hard Beyond devotees, not to mention those that are no doubt attracted to the overt style that Pervert has built a reputation for. Having laid on a brilliant launch party “Pervert Gold” at Fire in January, it will be interesting, yet we are sure incredible, to see these two clubbing brands link, although it seems that Pervert will be playing a big part in the night, taking over two of the three rooms and their dancers having a real presence in the main room. And, if the “Gold” party launch is anything to go by, not only will the dancers be dazzling, but the costumes will live up to the seductive yet sumptuous style that has become Pervert’s trademark, especially given the fact that the clubs stage director Ivan Sala is planning some amazingly sexy & theatrical performances, while Chris Geary is working closely with the Area team on some of the best production, lighting & visuals yet seen in the club and there is no better a venue for the reputation of putting on spectacular displays. We are promised a delightful mixture of muscular men & glamorous girls to adorn the various podiums across the whole club, as well as a special stage show, so there will be plenty to feast your eyes on, apart from the sexy crowd, which in Beyond, always grabs us, this last weekend being no exception (that lovely latino man dancing close to us & looking over, was gorge!).
Now onto the music and what a treat you are in for, as the list of D.J’s is truly outstanding. Beyond will be taking care of the musical direction in the main room, with three of their residents that never fail to excite and judging by Sunday just gone, Mikey D will be setting the pace like no other. This talent’s superb choice of music to really inject passion & hedonism to Beyond’s main room is breathtaking and he had the audience well & truly captivated virtually right from his 7 a.m. start, so no doubt will tempt us in with another magnificent set. Following Mikey will be the legendary & award winning Steve Pitron, who showed us yesterday just why he is brilliant at Beyond. He picked up where Mickey left off and treated us to some scintillating sounds and only Hi-Fi Sean playing in the Terrace bar, also celebrating his birthday, tore us away from the main space for a short while. Steve hits our sweet spot virtually every time he plays, his style befitting the occasion like no other and will surely do the same at Beyond Pervert. Rounding things off in the main room will be Alan K, a true mix meister, who through his incredible talent to blend tunes, has a unique sound that we have come to love. We were simply blown away by his take on ultra fave “Release Me” on Sunday, not to mention many others and cannot wait to re-live his set through his live podcast recording. Over in the “Black” room, it’s all about Pervert, as resident D.J. Obi Baby returns to London’s decks, headlining the space and delivering a gorgeous blend of progressive, electro & deep euro-beats which will have the space pumping, very much like he did at the “Gold” party in January and he will be joined, first by newish boy Gepy, who made real waves at the last Pervert event at Fire, as well as Gonzalo Rivas, who is playing out of his skin at the moment, proved by an amazing set at Orange on Valentine’s day and also another great performance at Beyond yesterday, keeping the middle room pumping way past 10 a.m. The second Pervert space will be The Terrace Bar, where two scene favourite D.J.’s will be selecting the sounds, one making his “Beyond” debut, the other returning, having been part of the residency team in the days of Colloseum, but who has also played out a number of times at Area, not least for their Ultra parties & for Matinee. So who are we talking about? Well first Alessandro Londra, resident for Rupert Street & Lo-Profile, but much, much more. In the three years he has been devoting his career to the D.J. game, Mr Londra has made a real impression, not least playing for Matinee and chalking up a list of superb sets at Fabric, Colloseum & Cable. He has also played on the main arena for Salvation, was an integral part of the huge success that was “AS One” on NYD and has made a similar impression at Lovechild. Add to that, regular appearances at Barcode & Fitladz and it no surprising this talented individual is in demand, his addition to the Beyond Pervert line up being well deserved. Alessandro’s mix of electro & tribal house should suit the space well & compliment the other D.J. performing. And as for the other? Well, his return to Beyond, in our view, is long overdue, having held sway in the VIP room alongside Paul Heron for most of the golden years at Colloseum. Brent Nicholls is one of the most talented D.J’s we know, as his ability to switch between genres, catering for the audience he plays to, is outstanding. His ability to spot fortcoming hits long before many others is amazing, making his music offer cutting edge & fresh. Plus at the moment, part of his repertoire is what he describes as “Nu Funk House” and it’s incredible, so we are expecting lots of that, although we are sure he will deliver a crowd pleasing set that will have the Terrace Bar atmosphere up in the stratosphere. There is no doubt he will be a big attraction this coming Sunday morning and a huge hit with the Beyond faitfull as well as the Lovechild & Pervert crowd.
So, with magnificent music, prolific production, laser-tastic lighting, vivacious visuals & gorgeous go-go’s, Beyond Pervert looks like being a real success and will serve as the “official” afterhours party for Lovechild, where specially discounted tickets will be on sale, plus the first 100 customers from their “Spring Affair” party arriving at Beyond Pervert will receive free entry. Advance £12 tickets are on sale at http://clubtickets.co.uk/ or via Soho outlets Prowler, Clone Zone, DV8 & Rio Beach and/or The Box, Ku-Bar, & Barcode. The whole evening (or should we say morning!) will be hosted by Jerry Boston & Chrissy Darling, with the dream team that is Tom Fuller & Naomi Ruiz looking after a smooth running door entry, the club running from 6 a.m. until 1 p.m. this coming Sunday 28th March, a date to be made, not to be missed. More details can be found at http://alexerfan.com/ and will be covered in forthcoming “weekend” posts.
