Before my Asian adventure officially begins, I've stopped off to stay with my sister in Dubai and explore what the glittering city has to offer. That of course includes the night-life scene, so on Friday my sister took me to Eden beach club where Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Karmon and Thyladomid were invited to play a musical feast of all things House and Techno.
Set in a beach club, the music started in the daytime where the tunes, weather and vibes were set to be scorching. When we arrived, the party was pretty chilled with guests floating on funky inflatables, sun bathing or simply chatting along with friends over a glass of wine. The beach was sophisticatedly decorated with its crowd closely replicating the scenery. As the sky shifted into a stunning ombré hue of blue and orange, party-goers jumped out of the pool and rushed into their night-life gear, whilst Eden promoters handed out glow in the dark face paints, glasses and glow sticks for the real party to take place...
German producer and DJ, Thyladomid greeted the strong, ever-lasting crowd by feeding the heady night with snippets of fist-pumping rhythms, whilst teasing in fun vocals, retaining a lively quality to the evening. Next up the headliners of the night - Kollektiv Turmstrasse - commenced as the floor notably began to fill up with fans of the duo. Under an explosion of trippy lasers, they weaved melodic tunes with subtle bass-lines encouraging a rave twist to such a cosmopolitan gathering. The duo then familiarised us all with a floor-filler remix of The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition - a blissed-out and contrasting moment to the pairs futuristic techno set.
Having never heard of the artists playing at Eden and not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised with the music. However the night was a little too pretentious for my liking - most of Eden is filled with extremely over-priced tables, with only a tiny dance floor for those that can't afford a table to dance on. The beach club looked great, however I felt the 'glow in the dark' theme seemed a little too childlike; they could have done with just using their visionary decor and laser lights. But nonetheless the night was great, I couldn't complain with such fantastic music and picturesque settings. Those of you that are visiting Eden, I would highly recommend getting there early doors and spend the day at the beach, pool and restaurant before starting with the party antics! Eden have stellar line ups coming up this month with the Apollonia crew, Nina Kraviz, Ame and more! If you happen to be in Dubai this month, these parties are not to be missed!
