So on Thursday night I headed off to a club which is very
familiar to me. I didn’t want to go on
my own, but my friends weren’t happy to go out in the rainy weather and I was
craving House music and I was promised that there would be quality music on
this night. With House Hold Funk playing I was sure there would be.
So I called a cab and headed off for a night of fun at VIP Room.
I was greeted at the door by the friendly bouncers (whom I know by name and
even know a bit about them as people, due to my clubbing habits :P) Next I was
greeted by a group of gorgeous women (half of which I also know due to my
clubbing habits) I had a short chat with
some of them, then I proceeded downstairs. I was greeted on the way down by
what I describe as VIP’s Living art, Gorgeous women who sit perfectly still in
what can only be described as a marble frame.
As I was walking down the stairs I was starting to hear some
good house beats, and as I got downstairs my ears were welcomed by warm Deep
House beats and I was really surprised to see that the club was packed, but not
packed like it normally is, this was what one could call (special event packed)
and the only special thing was the fact that they had good House music as opposed
to Commercial and hip hop. I was
expecting to see the place half full instead it was packed to the rafters, it
was a pleasant surprise.
Now for those of you who are not familiar with the usual VIP
Room Crowed. Here is a brief description followed by a description of Thursday
nights crowed. Usually the VIP Room Crowed is the Sophisticated Jhb Crowed. The
women are the cream of the crop as far as looks go and many of them aren’t as
pretentious as one would think they are.(Guys you need to talk to them before
making judgments
, some of them are awesome people) The Men are either the
Sophisticated business men or the laid back businessman or celebrities, either
way usually most of us are businessmen, who just want to go out, have some fun,
meet women and maybe even do some business networking. ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE,
the VIP Room crowed is usually there just to have a good time, they usually at
a level above most other High end clubs in terms of their wealth/influence, yet
they are more friendly and just up for a good time as opposed to being seen.
Now for the DESCRIPTION OF THURSDAY’s CROWED. It was a mix
of the usual crowed and a younger crowed as well, but not too young, early to mid
20’s, but you could tell they all came from well off families or they were the
usual VIP Room (self made type) with a few celebrities here and there. One
could tell a large number of the people were University students as well this
time round.(Guys I have to emphasise this) THE WOMEN WERE GORGEOUSE, it was
like being a kid in a candy store.
A REVIEW OF THE MUSIC. So as I mentioned I was greeted by
Warm Deep House beats. I’ve known Les and Abi from House Hold funk for probably
7 to 8 years, although I haven’t seen them play in about 3 years. I was happy
to hear they have just continued to get better over the years. It was an
awesome set. They played a mix of Deep, Funky and Tech House, with their own
spin to it. A House Hold Funk Set is typically a upbeat seat. The Crowed
responded really well to the music and
the club continued to fill up during their set. Next up was VIP Room’s resident DJ Sebastian.
Sebastian started to play a set of commercial music and some hip hop, this
lasted for about an hour, I won’t go into this as it’s not music I understand
unless I’m drunk, with the exception of some Hip Hop. I have to comment though on Sebastian’s
Closing set. It was brilliant, I’d put it up there with Great House I’ve heard
in the last 6 months. It started off with some Deep House, progressed to some
Deep House with tracks such as Ordinary Things:Seven Hills,Dungeon Meat:The
Fuck Track, Ten Walls:Requim (get it this track rocks)
www.beatport.com , then at the very end Sebastian progressed to
a very sick Detroit Techno set.
Surprisingly the crowed that was left over at the end of the night
responded very well to all of the above.
As for the PAROOZ and BLACK ROSE fashion show. I’m a guy so
all I can say is the models were hot, ask a women about what they thought about
the cloths :P I can also say the women looked hot in the cloths, but that’s about
as detailed as it gets :P
I left at about 4:30am when the last beat dropped and long after the women(plural) I was with had left and other friends I found during the course of the night. Mr M and Mr D good to see you again. Party again Soon, and Miss L, Miss D, Miss S and Miss M gorgeous as always :P (You all know who you are)
All in all it was an amazing night. Well done again on an
awesome event VIP Room. I trust there will be more house music played there in
the future! J
