Have been to Dublin once before and played the same venue (called Red Box then) so I was ready for a big night, but not quite as big as this. The club is much like The Cross, arches, but with two levels like a mini super club and the crowd is mixed, which always tend to be best and they followed every move no matter how I hard spanked them. Really good night and the highlight for me was the new mix of Lil Love and the Pacific State bootleg - absolute mayhem in the room! The next day started really bad with delays to Barcelona because of thunderstorms. The flight to Ibiza was cancelled and I had to buy a new ticket with Air Europa that finally got me to the island at 11 at night and it was pouring down tropical style. After a mad run to my favourite Italian in the port and luckily by car to the club I was getting ready to rock it and it was beyond packed - I have never seen that many people in that club and because of the rain, everybody was inside. Mad shizzle, lemme tell ya. To make matters worse, someone had messed around with the sound so I can't say I was overly inspired. Still, the club was rocking and people seemed to enjoy it despite the heat/rain/bad sound.

Although i couldnt make it i had friends out there who i made go down there in my absence, it sounded like a right belter stone and i was gutted i couldnt make it for this one!

Minus being showered out, they have said they had a belting night after the mass ram to get in the place late on

It was OK, I wasn't really feeling the sound in the club at all, but no one except me seemed to care. Still, a closing party is always a closing party....mad!
