Analogue Nites is old school meets new school with a touch of hot music and a relaxed crowd. Nothing beats it as a way of saying goodbye to dusty August and hello sunny September with fine company.
This is the second of the monthly events to be sponsored by Peroni - and with sponsors come great prizes. So, while you're sitting relaxing with your cold one, the promotional girls take your name for the competition where you stand a chance to win Versace sunglasses.
You can also take a picture of you and your date and get it framed, a lovely gesture to remind yourself of the great time you had. And, as always, Moyo's in Melrose Arch is the ideal venue.
Like any other nite, the in-house DJs Kenzero and 1D start up the party with their hip-hop, rap, soul, and now reggae mixes. DJ Kenzero starts up with slow hip-hop jams and then moves to playing reggae, with remixes from Bob Marley's 'Turn Your Lights Down Low'. But, while Kenzero's mixes are getting too predictable, 1D has the ability to adapt and his mixing of reggae and hip-hop gets better each time.
They get the crowd warmed up for the main event: 340ml. A band originally from Mozambique, they're made up of four really laidback characters - Pedro da Silva Pinto on vocals, Paulo Chibanga on drums, Rui Soeiro on bass, and Tiago Paulo on guitar - who specialise in providing good vibes.
Performing songs from their two albums, 'Sorry For The Delay' and 'Moving', the SAMA-nominated collective seduce the audience with 'Shotgun', 'Good Things Happen to Those Who Wait,' and 'Fairy Tales.' They keep teasing the crowd with their most commercial and famous track, 'Midnight', as the bass guitar player keeps repeating the bassline before most of their songs. Eventually the crowd lose their minds and sing along with 'Midnight' when it is finally performed.
As soon as 340ml were done with their performance, the DJ went back to playing hip-hop, mainly focusing on Drake, playing most of his new album and every hit song featuring him. At 2am the party is still going with the crowd seemingly having forgotten that it's a Friday and work starts in a couple of hours.
Best not forget though that the next Analogue Nites will be on 30 September. And it will be on fire.
