I'm sure most of you think of Club108 as a cheesy, gino hang-out ... but I never cease to be impressed with both the crowd and DJs for the few times I've been there on a Thursday night.
Manzone & Strong started off with your typical commercial progressive anthems, but from about 12am onwards, they spun an excellent set of hard, techy, and tribal house. I did not recognize a good number of tracks and they really brought up the energy for Anne Savage, who came on around 1-1:15am.
Anne took over with her typical bouncy hard house sounds. She played alot faster and harder than I remember from her set at TURBO. I would probably describe the music as "hard dance" (to borrow a term from the UK), as opposed to that cheesy hoover house. She eventually got trancey around 2am, and I left shortly after ... because I had to work the next morning of course, not because the music started to suck.
The club was pretty packed, although the dancefloor itself remained fairly sparse throughout the night. Too many trainspotters perhaps? Nonetheless, everybody who was dancing seemed to be enjoying themselves. Club108 has a decent sound and lighting system (and I have high standards about these things!) ... along with bottle rockets and a confetti cannon as well. Excellent production value courtesy of Benson & Hedges, as usual.
Good times, indeed. Oh yeah, and Anne Savage seemed to be quite sober and coherent behind the decks. What's up with that?!
