Postcard 2: Rave with the Bass

Let's face it. This week was my beach week. Barbeques. Boat Rides. Midnight skinny-dipping with your best mates. Ah, these experiences really bring you closer to your loved ones.

BUT...

...I am Maltese.

Therefore, shove aside the Roman Catholic image, sweep the rosy Mediterranean beach-lifestyle under the carpet and that means you're left with one thing. PARTIES. Lots of them.

We Maltese are hardcore party animals. We drink. We get drunk. We party. It's what we do. Of course, I generalise here like in any other example. However, we can't help but breathe in the Ibizesque ambience that our island offers. Malta would have the potential of being the next Ibiza if it was not so conservative as it says it is. OK, maybe I exaggerate, but I can dream can I? Paceville is a snore except for a few places here and there. However, there are several other clubs that offer great party potential around the country. Maybe the Maghtab Rehabiliation Project could be turned into the Malta-Ibiza Conversion Project. If Maltese clubbers and the MTV supporting Ministry of Culture and Tourism fancy this idea I bet it would materialise faster than a fat kid eats a Mc Donald's meal after walking a block to get some food!!!

Anyway, the reason why I wrote this second blog on the same day is because despite my beach inclinatory evenings I did attend a party this weekend. What? Me, not attending a party? Blasphemy! Hehe. So it was to my great pleasure that my best friend and I went to Seventh Heaven at Sky Club, Paceville yesterday to attend the 3rd CHARGED event in Malta. I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew that the Funk Junkies from the UK would be performing as well as one of my favourite new Maltese DJs, Moose.

My comments - Cecil Mc Carthy can sure drop a beat!! Also, them Funk Junkies were pretty good. Apparently, they hold a regular residency with Gatecrasher and are part of the Award winning CHARGED team who Maltese DJ, Cecil Mc Carthy also forms part of. I really believe that these are the Maltese DJs that are really breaking the scene right now. Marcus Lauri also took to the decks last night and really got the crowd high. He has been in the bizniz for many years now. His close friend Moose who invited me to the event started off a bit slow but only so that he could work the crowd into a frenzy later on with some techy house tunes and something that sounded like Eric Prydz. If you are reading this Moose, do you remember what songs you were playing between 2.05am and 2.30am? LOL. I need to know. ^^

Yeah, so that was my night. I must say I really enjoyed it. However, the photographer was a major pain in the backside. Still cool though. It was also another excuse to frequent my favourite spot in Paceville - SKY club. Love, LoVe, LOVE it!! :D

And now, for my well-deserved beauty sleep. That tan won't really work well with puffy eyes, will it? :P

Hope you all had a massive weekend!

Over and out. ZZZzzz.
