They Know What is actually What, however They Don’t Know What is actually What, They Just Strut…
What better way to spend a stunning, sunlit Sunday than with beautiful people, dangerously delicious cocktails as well as an EDM God in a venue of immense beauty that will is actually Potato Head Beach Club.
Sunday was a scorcher! Tourists as well as Expats by all over the globe flocked to be a part of what some may favour the highlight of Bali’s 2012 Music Calendar starring none different than Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim.
The event kicked-off with hotshot DJs, Stevie G (USA) & Lady Flic (NZ), who delivered a mix of House, Reggae, Soul as well as Chill classics to a rapidly expanding gathering of young as well as old boasting six-packs as well as bikini-clad beach-bods; eye-candy heaven to say the least. Whilst Bintangs as well as inflatable crocodiles governed the pool area, a more relaxed crowd basked inside sun enjoying cocktails on the lawn. Ye lads as well as lasses flirting, friends chatting as well as old friends catching up; all round, great vibes that has a cheerful Summer Music Festival ambience swept POTATO HEAD BEACH CLUB on a glorious scorcher of a day, which in spite of the recent weather back home, I took great pleasure in announcing via Facebook (cheeky smile). Back to the music – tunes by old to brand new, by Classic 60’s Soul to 00’s Big-Room House got Bali’s finest as well as visitors up on their feet by late afternoon to sunset thanks to POTATO HEAD’s Expat Resident DJs.
that has a picturesque backdrop of the Sun setting, the venue packed as well as the crowd wild with excitement in ever-escalating anticipation – silence struck – as well as after a world class introduction by the MC the venue erupted to Praise You, a Fatboy Slim fan favourite as well as what I like to call “one of those religious music experiences” – goose-bumps, hairs on end, shivers down your spine, smiling faces, peace, love as well as unity.
As you all may well know the “Funk Soul Brother” has always had a knack for uniting crowds through music as well as props as well as is actually no stranger to summer beach parties ie his Big Beach Boutique; giant Smiley Skull as well as Cross Bone beach balls (a Fatboy Slim Trademark) were tossed into the sea of ravers. Bob Marley’s Could You Be Loved, House Of Pain’s’ Jump Around as well as a edition of John Paul Young’s Love is actually inside Air, created an immense sense of love as well as unity among revellers, which great music as well as people often do.
Disgruntled party-goers complained about the queue for the toilets when in fact the toilets were not fully occupied, although some attendees did not comply with queuing or security POTATO HEAD BEACH CLUB did well to control the facilities for such a large-scale event. When asked regarding the toilet situation, Steve Cromie, Operations Manager shared, “Regarding the toilets, we were limiting the amount of people going downstairs For 2 reasons; so as to not create a bottle-neck inside area as the idea is actually quite enclosed as well as also to ensure that will cleaning was taking place in-between customers.” Fair-play to Steve as well as his team.
Fellow ravers were also miffed about ticket as well as drink prices. I asked Emilie, 30, a Lawyer by Paris on her viewpoint. “the idea is actually such a beautiful place (Potato Head), the idea is actually a little expensive however to see Fatboy Slim in Bali, the idea is actually worth the idea.” Holly, 33, a Dive Instructor by West London praised, post-gig, “Awesome, the best event in Bali so far, great drinks, great people, awesome music!” by the roars of the crowd as well as smiling faces I imagine everyone got their money’s worth.
that will was my first ever Fatboy Slim gig as well as the idea lived up to my expectations; fantastic music, an electric atmosphere, crowd unity as well as a togetherness which we should see more of inside Bali party scene. Merit is actually due to POTATO HEAD for their friendly as well as attentive bar staff, security as well as organizers who made the idea a pleasurable party experience.
that will was without a shadow of a doubt up there with the greatest music events I have ever been to, if not THE best. Musical experiences as well as journeys such as on Sunday 15th are few as well as far between as well as for a music-lover such as myself, bliss!
I think as well as wish I speak on behalf of all the attendees when I ask POTATO HEAD BEACH CLUB; “WHEN is actually NORMAN COMING BACK!?”
