Review by Pete and Angel

The first mention for this review has to go to the Live Painting Happening and iPoi... 

Many thanks to Helen and Kristen who painted two canvasses solidly for an hour amid the craziness of the Funky Lounge.  The results of their hard work is to be exhibited at an exhibition opening on the 21st August, (if you’d like to go click here for full details). After the exhibition we’re thinking of doing something worthwhile with the canvasses, suggestions so far are to auction them or turn them into decor, please feel free to suggest an idea here.

Many thanks also to the iPoi team for setting up their interactive wireless iPoi system in the garden. Blessed with fine weather (phew) many a happy face was seen spinning the Poi and making the visuals and audio change in time... (full story here).

Thanks also to the DJs who did a brilliant job in all three rooms and the Contributors and Crew and to the good souls running workshops, painting faces or massaging tired shoulders!

And of course thanks to everyone who came and added their smiles to the merry throng, what a way to spend a Friday night!

Exchanging reality for a night with the angels

There’s only one night in London where you can slip into clothes that express your true self, embrace your love for music, and leave all worries at home. From the minute you step into the alley, waiting outside the venue with fellow Planet Angel supporters, you start understanding the difference between ordinary and extraordinary.

On Friday, the 10th of August, I joined the rest of the Planet Angel crowd for yet again, an incredible evening out. As always the fine attention to décor and other elements to heighten your senses amazed me. Once you have stepped inside, you enter a world that has been created especially for you. There’s the soothing scent of incense, fairy lights, the chance to play like a carefree child, eye-catching artwork everywhere, and of course thumping beats on two dance floors. 

After wandering around to observe my unique surroundings, I settled in the Meltdown Room for an emotional journey of uplifting trance that pulsed through the crowd. Resident DJs Sly One and Jurrane set the tone with an energetic back-to-back performance, followed by Greg Blaquiere who continued with a wave of tracks that rippled through the bouncing crowd. Guest DJ Pablo from Knowwhere turned up the heat with an impressive mix of new and classic trance tunes.

Nibbler, DuffJ, Dr F, Ade Laugee and Side Trakka kept the crowd entertained with funky and deep sexy sounds in the Funky Lounge.

In the Chill Bar Dr F, Ade Laugee, Paygan, Nibbler and Sly One soothed everyone with the best chilled tracks and relaxing atmosphere.

Several hours later I joined my friends in the outside garden area for a breath of fresh air and a cup of tea. I recognised familiar faces, glanced at the many new faces and soon started varied conversations with like-minded individuals. All of us shared the same passion and energy.

It was another beautiful night at Planet Angel. I’ve already diarised the next one, because deep inside the magic still lingers.
