Party Report|BIGFISH pts.Hed Kandi Disco Heaven ft. DJ Jamie Richards


[Hed Kandi Disco Heaven '05]

As you know was at BIGFISH's Hed Kandi Disco Heaven last night. Had alot of fun and as expected there was a lot of people present for the event.
--
Venue/Parking: Again the venue was at PTTC [Philippine Trade Training Center]. I wonder why BIGFISH has had it's last few events here [pricing maybe or scheduling]? Really there are better venues [the TENT at FORT or LE PAVILLION in PASAY or WORLD TRADE in ROXAS]. We came early [around midnight] there was already a build up of cars and traffic we had to park at PIER ONE a short stroll from the venue, lot's of street kids selling flowers and asking for alms. It's good to note that during the event periodic announcements [using the big screen] were shown/flashed of cars that were going to be towed [bad vibes!].

Ticket Price/Entrance Procedure: PhP 600.00 not bad. Also if you got an AMP [Addict Mobile Prepaid PhP 450.00] you got free entrance. If you are an existing Addict Mobile subscriber you got 50% off, for PhP 300.00. VIP Tables were PhP 10,000.00 with drinks and tickets for 8 people. We were able to get complimentary tickets unfortunately these were valid upto 12 only! With the long lines we didn't make it [we opted for the AMP deal so now we have 2 AMP sim cards]. Entrance procedures were pretty messed up we had to get in line 3 times [1 to buy the tickets; 2 to get 'marked' and 3 to get in]? Come on BIGFISH! You could do better than that! [although I appreciate the extra layers of security it could have gone smoother and faster]
--
Music/DJ: Was able to listen to DJ Benjo Marquez [Team BIGFISH] and DJ Jamie Richards [Team Kandi]. The music as expected was House, House, and more House! The track that struck me most was the first track played by Kandi's Richards. Great [wonder what that song was][edit 09/21/05: The first track was Love Generation; Thanks Jo for the info]!

[Bob Sinclair ft. Gary Pine - Love Generation (30 sec sample press play to listen)]
I was also surprised with the crowd [and my] reaction to 'Everafter' which I felt was a good song which suffered from being overplayed. If you're into House music this event is tailor made for you... Honestly though I was craving for Trance on the way home [this is of course personal preference].
--
Visuals/Decor: The graphics and decor, were top-notch [for Philippine standards I guess] no falling 'stars' or decors this time :)
--
Crowd: The crowd just keeps getting younger [or am I getting older]. As I said in my Godskitchen Review, be careful of ass-grabbers, pick pockets, and mobile phone snatchers. Have fun but be aware of your surroundings.
--
Drinks: The usual, expensive and a bit hard to get.
--
Security: A lot of bouncers which aren't actually deterrents to unsavory characters. They did however stop a fight near our spot. A couple of drunk foreigners hahaha [one of them fell hard on the floor--OUCH!]
--
Verdict: The venue could have been better, but overall a pretty nice event. I'm sure alot had their fill of Kandi last night :o)
