A good crowd was present first but had drifted away by 4am to catch Atlantis banging at the Colliseum. Well, you know, for all those hardcore hedonists who don’t know how to stop! And need to keep on partying until lunchtime or even into Monday if given half the chance.
Fairytales is a lovely party that has been around for a few years now and they presented vivacious psytrance throughout the night.
Simo, Marcello and all the Fairy Tales crew did a fine job. I particularly liked the two parabolic dishes suspended above the DJ decks reflecting light effects like a frame to the VJing screen behind.
It produced a very effective visual stimulation that was quite mesmerising especially if some of the present were experiencing an inward journey of fun with visuals to boot.
The upstairs space was pretty funky with some light progressive and ambient, which I wasn’t familiar with but which impressed me nonetheless. Nova was particularly inventive with a wide repertoire of smooth eclectic offerings that merged into a sound tapestry at the decks that created a background for conversations in the chill out with mates recovering from the action downstairs that had it's ups and lows during the night. Special mention to Simo who was one of the highlights with Nick No name who never disappoints and keeps you figuring on the dance floor where this DJ is going to take you next.

Atlantis at the Colliseum was thronging in sweat with total action on the dance floors of the two rooms on offer. The main room was quite hectic with the clock informing me that it was 8am and still we all danced without a worry or care, as if the night had just started!

I pitched my dancing space on the platform left of the stage and danced my socks off to banging psytrance delivered with a high octane, while watching all the peeps giving it large.

Reminded me of those rave parties you used to trawl the M25 with your crew on a weekend many eons ago.

That same energy and joy converted on people’s faces and so late into the morning it was really great to see and be part of.

The second room was meant to be a sort of chill out but I wasn’t impressed since one could not rest there.

It was another dance room with a lighter selection of house and progressive beats but still banging nevertheless with the same intensity as the main room.

And the main area it was which stole the show because it never ceased in the intensity of participation and thus till 10am or was that lunchtime?
