Heat - Review Reported by Dory-EE / Submitted 24-05-02 10:24 Question: What is it that makes people truly light up with excitement when you mention a club or an event? Test: Mention the words ‘HEAT’, ‘clubbing’ and ‘Saturday afternoon’, to someone at 2:17pm on a busy Wednesday just before he goes into a stressful meeting with important clients. Watch the change of colour in his eyes…If he is a true HEAT fan, you’ll witness an MPEG starting to play in his eyes – clips from the previous HEAT event as his eyes start to sparkle, and his smile spontaneously grows to maximum! Answer: It’s the experience. So, inspired by a recently converted HEAT fanatic friend of mine, I decided to try out the Saturday afternoon clubbing scene for the first time, and which better opportunity than HEAT at a new and much talked about venue, TURNMILLS. Wrapped in anxiety, anticipation, and a warm jacket (for afterwards of course), the beats welcomed us…Turnmills was easy to find as muffled beats escaped through the extractor fan on the side of the building. Friendly staff and bouncers showed us in. How weird to walk from perfectly good sunlight in London, down a flight of stairs into a parallel universe of nightlight…or rather party light! First things first: take note where the bathroom and cloakroom is. Find it, Fill it and Feel your way to the dance floor (of your choice). Ah, at last, a spacious and efficient cloakroom, plus two bathrooms (with enough paper) and running cold water! The small shallow basins made it really tricky to re-fill your water bottle…fortunately plastic bottles can bend! The first tune I heard was coming from the funky house room – which is not a personal favourite of mine but the hard house beats of Spencer seemed to find my ears and dragged me around a couple of bars, through some chill out rooms and alleys, and over steps, to... my home ground, the dance floor. I took a few minutes to walk around, orientating myself, appreciating the lively three dimensional décor around the one bar, looking for familiar faces, and overall tuning into the Frequency Modulation of Hard House in Surround Sound! It felt a bit dark at first but it all depends on where you look and how you look at it. Great idea having screens with HEAT flyers on the walls in stead of posters – more alive and interactive. There’s always so much to talk about and catch up on with your group of friends in the beginning of the ‘night’, that you don’t mind stopping to dance to complete your sentence or to be introduced to a friend of a friend by a friend of a friend…unless… ...Simon Rutherford plays Lab4’s version of ‘Oh Fortuna’. Yep, that’s what got me jumping! At around 4pm the club was quite packed (capacity 1000) but I’ve secured my spot on the floor for the night and ready for Raymondo’s display... It was just as I took a gulp of H2O-juice that I had a back flash of reality…if I was in South Africa now (at 4pm on a Saturday), I’d be sitting on a lazy boy next to my dad with a beer in my hand, staring at the TV, while shouting for my provincial rugby team! the only similarity now, is the shouting phenomenon! I rate a good night on my screaming scale. A scream is rated on spontaneity, creativity, intensity, pitch, endurance (length) and power. Grant Thompson (a personal favourite) seemed to be familiar with my screaming scale, as he knows just what to play to get a few hundred clubbers going off at the top of their voices! Oh what power DJ’s possess! Make time for chilling out, freshening up – have a drink, massage a back, have a fag, share a joke. I quite liked the tables-and-chairs-setup, especially when you are 4/5 friends that wanna chat. Don’t rest too long, because the anthems wait for no-one (except the hand of the DJ). Everybody can have a glitch while spinning, and unfortunately it happened twice that a beat was skipped or altered between songs. And, yes, it also happened once that the speakers at the back went soft after a HUGE build up…but these small technical problems were soon something of the past as the energy and adrenaline infected us all again when the sound and volume was restored! You only realise that yet another hour has gone by when you see a new DJ in front of the decks. At one point I stopped and looked at who was around me – thoroughly enjoying themselves…what a variety of people – so diverse and so da same! Only here can you meet a Kiwi Biochemist, a Canadian snowboard instructor, a tree surgeon from Berkshire, an architect, and even a social worker! We all are of the same age, of similar mind sets and we all share a positive pumping passion for quality dance tunes! Tired feet (thanks Spencer!), happy hearts, empty wallets and croaky voices meant the end of a very successful night – well to me anyway. To others, it only meant the end of the Pre-party to TIMELESS!! Sleep is no option and at least 3rd priority over clubbing weekends in London! Rating : 7/10 on my screaming scale. Turnmills will be definitely be seeing more of me, for sure! Don’t live a little, live ALOUD!!! Next Heat is at the Camden Palace on the 8th June. Full details here. Next Heat at Turnmills will be on the 15th June. Full details wil be available in our what's on guide once we have them.
