"Just wanted to say what a totally top nite me n' Lou had on Friday - thank you so much you little luvvies! Truly friendly crowd from the lady who actually asked nicely if she could search my handbag to the smiley gels on the counter!"

"I've composed some of my thoughts of my first experience of Planet Angel. Please feel free to use them on the Web site or whatever.

From the darkness of a South London car park, people slowly snaked through a doorway into a backstreet club. Some have come alone, others with friends, but already any divisions between them are dissolving. Inside the ceiling and walls of the building are decorated with waves of flowing material illuminated by prisms of light; and although beyond the rainbows are bricks and mortar, people reach out to the infinity beyond; for this is Planet Angel.

Two main rooms are filled with rhythms that urge every muscle and limb into syncopated movement; but Planet Angel is more than this. There is a quiet courtyard where old friends meet and new friendships are born, whilst all around colourful streamers flow in time with the bodies that propel them; but Planet Angel is more than this too. There are places to paint, meditate, build Lego palaces and, like the many drummers, places to find your own rhythm; but Planet Angel is still more than this.

For Planet Angel is about its people; you, me and anybody prepared to shake off the dark cloak of what society tells us we should be, and return to our essential being ? humanity. Humanity that knows that laughter and love are our most powerful forces and humanity that understands that the symbiosis of music, light and dance raises the body into an ecstatic sensuous state.

This is what I experienced at Julys, and my first, Planet Angel. The rhythms picked up my tired body and flung it between the two rooms, my body yearning for ever more intoxicating beats. Finally I was washed up beneath Tequila throwing his muse down at us from the decks. And it was then that I became as one with the crowd, music and joy flowing between our bodies, one amorphous mass of love. Outside the sun glared bright and the trains grumbled overhead, but as we re-entered the everyday world, inside we all remained on Planet Angel."

"I'm sure loads of people have said what a great night it was. Because it was! It was my best one at the new venue. The reason being is that everyone finally jelled. The old and new crowd got it together and the integration made me so happy! It was a relaxed but uplifting vibe all night long. Cor and it went so fast! Pooh! Everything worked in harmony. Visually(lighting was amazing), musically (tops+ the flow of sounds cascading from one room to another) and it was like someone had tickled the crowd with a giant (obviously fluoro) pink feather!

When I was on stage and looking down on that bouncy crowd, I was full of reconstituted energy. What a natural buzz. Moments to live for! See you soon

A pot of golden love

"thankyou very much for you e-mail, ive been waiting for it since i put my name down, at the last planet angel i had the best night of my life i spent every second wandering around dowing weird s**t! It was great!i dont know how you people have done it, but you have created something that i have dreamed about for years, a place where i can stay in my own world away from reality, (i hate reality people arent nice there, bad stuf happens :-( ....). at planet angel i dont feel the need to hold back from the person i really am, and everyone else does the same, and theres no bad vibes at all! The moment you walked in the place you could only feel love!!!anyway what was i saying? yeah at the last planet angel i met so many different people it was mad, i met some lovely woman who was doing the body painting from my home town (chichester) which nobody has heard of! (that scared me slightly), i didnt know what to get painted, so i asked her to paint something that she thought i might like, she painted a dragon, which just happens to be my favourite mystical creature, and it looked so good, until i got a massage.
after i recieved the massage i returned the favour, he said it was the best massage he's had, so he told me to sit down and massage some more people, (i think he said he was a vampire?) anyway i then massaged this other bloke, who once again said it was an amazing massage, so i told him to go and tell his freinds to come and get one! I did a few more and also told them to tell there friends, (thinking they would get sidetract) and ended up doing massages for four hours! (but it was great!).

it was an absolutly wonderful experience! thus concluding my night at planet angel! thankyou one and all i love you and all that you are!"
