On Saturday 17th July 2004, Irresistible Promotions
introduced to you the raver the launch of what is expect to be
a very big regular event in the future…Hotmail!
This was
Hotmail: The Launch Party, which also saw the birthday
celebrations for Irresistible Promotions very own
‘Buttersbwoy’ and ‘Ernest’.
Hotmail was
held at the unique venue named ‘The Yacht Club’. Yacht Club
for those who have not been there, is a permanently docked
boat redesigned to accommodate the dancing feet of the
hundreds of ravers that pack in on the boat, which is situated
on the bank of the river Thames. The outside of the club is
very appealing to the eye and it has an excellent view from
upstairs as you cast your eye across the skyline of London
City at night. Once you step on board, the idea I guess is
that you should feel like you are on a cruise liner. Once we
were all upon board it was clear that this had been a very
good turn out as lots of familiar faces from Irresistible
Promotions previous events came out to support and pay their
birthday respects.
As per usual
the Irresistible Promotions crew set the pace with the dress
code of being suited and booted and set an example to their
ravers of how to come correct. Big up to Crew consisting of
Cecil, Buttersbwoy, Zar, Ernest and not forgetting Skeet. The
ravers who came out complied with the dress code and apart
from the odd person here and there who did not seem to get it
right with the dressing, the ravers overall came out looking
on point.
The ratio on
this night I would say was generally 2:1 in favour of the
ladies, with the average age being approximately 22-26 yrs.
Musically it was satisfying in that you had a variety of rooms
to choose from ranging from Level 2, which played R`N`B, Hip
Hop, and Club Classics and was hosted by Irresistibly
Different DJ`s: Sammy Confunktion, Phat Cat$, Adri-X, and DJ
Supreme. to Level 3, where you had the choice of slipping
back in time with some Old Skool House and Garage. This room
was hosted by Irresistibly Intrigued DJ`s Supa D, Kingsley,
and Good Vibes Clive.
Level 2 was
definitely the pick of all the rooms/levels for the crowd as
this room was consistently packed from wall to wall. What was
nice for those who wanted to chill and rest their feet in
peace was the opportunity to get some BBQ Chicken and hard
dough bread from ‘Auntie’ on The top of the boat AKA, Level 1,
this was also used a an opportunity for some couple to sneak
away and……..
Overall crowd
feedback suggested that this night goes down as a success, it
should be noted however that the general consensus from the
crowd feedback received is that the venue needs to be looked
at as it seems that Hotmail may be just a little too ‘Hot!’
for the venue of ‘The Yacht Club’.
Watch
this Space for the next even BIGGER AND BETTER Hotmail…
