so i normally like to know what the night has in store for me but when i decide an hour or 2 before heading out where i'm going and with who generally i have no clue what i'm getting myself into!!!

thursday was the first time i have been out in a while (well almost a week which is surprisingly long for me!) anyhoo i ended up at Fiction with people i hardly get to see and it was fantastic=)

Fiction is always fun, people may complain that there is nothing different about the 'new Fiction' and in truth there really isn't (more on that just now) but one thing that has changed is the level of music they are churning out. having been open for little more then a month or so they have already succeeded in brining in 2 huge international acts. namely zombie nation last week and this week the sounds of Drumsound and Bassline Smith from the UK.

arrived there to the sounds of the ever popular Niskerone ripping the dancefloor to shreds and was also pleasantly surprised that it was not too full (something that never happens in Cape Town) once Niskerone finished up his hour and a half of magic the international was up and boy did they do good...even on the same sound system their was just so slick. each track melted into each other and the bass was insane. after an epic 2 hour set one had to wonder how on earth the next dj up must be feeling...but when you are SFR you really have nothing to e nervous about. for such a small man he really has a lot of energy! he just got up there and did what he does best...kept the party going.

so they have managed to get some amazing parties going at the 'new Fiction' but there are still issues...i'm sure there are valid reasons for this but really not serving beers like Amstel, Windhoek, Heineken...or Spiced Gold, or Captain Morgan...it's just weird.
Lastly, packing a million more people then the club can hld into the venue...not cool. when you can't even open the doors onto the balcony because there are so many humans pressed against it then you know there is a problem!

anyways, it was a good night and hopefully the new head honcho's keep the good music flowing=)
tonight is untamed youth with an amazing line-up that includes Haezer (always good) slightly more expensive at R50 but tomorrow is a holiday so your wallets will have time to recover!

happy reading
see you on the floor=)
