Turnmills to me is the
best clubbing venue that London has to offer. Don't
get me wrong because there are other great venues
but to me Turnmills has something more, something
special. Its reputation speaks for itself and plays
host to many club nights with many well known DJ's
coming back time and time again to play to the clubbers
that keep coming back for more.
Tonight was no different; Heat is a very popular
event in the clubbing community and it attracts
a mixture of crowds although most are antipodean.
It is an event that is well known for its pure Hard
House and uplifting Trance and people that go to
it enjoy it so much that they keep coming back for
another serving.
You automatically feel comfortable in this venue
and with its 4 rooms, linking corridors, seating
areas and 4 bars, it's very easy to get around the
club and get a drink for that matter.
The main room was very crowded at around 12pm and
the atmosphere was starting to generate. Turmills
boasts one of the best sound systems in the country
and I can confirm that they do. The sound is perfect.
It is loud, sharp and clear and you can feel every
beat move from the floor upwards. The lasers and
lighting effects projecting around the room just
add to the already pumping atmosphere.
Steve Hill got things started in the main room with
some great beats but his mixing was a bit off. Steve
Blake was superb. He got the dance floor pumping
with some very uplifting tracks.
The funky room was held up in the Anexo Bar and
opened at around 2-30am. The Anexo Bar is a great
venue and often hold private parties. On March the
15th from 9 -2am there is a free party hosted by
Brad 212 Finlay before City Loud starts. A visit
to the party guarantees entry into City Loud for
only 5 pounds. (Review to follow)
Matt Williams played a very tribal influenced set
and was backed up by a live saxophonist. It was
absolutely brilliant stuff.
Brad 212 Finlay played from 4-6 and played an absolute
funky set of US House. The top floor of the Anexo
Bar was getting full and the dance floor crowded
as more and more people were coming to dance to
212's set. He is a DJ to watch out for in the future
and his music guarantees to get the dance floor
pumping.
It was another successful event by Heat and I'm
sure there are many more to come. |
