After all the money Heineken had spent on magazine advertising, you were bound to expect a full crowd turn out for this event. Sure enough the venue was packed with a host of new and old faces as such an event drew in all kinds of people you would not normally expect to see.
Hitec was decorated all over with the Heineken green in the chill out room, with the other two halls being open as one with one large stage. Stacks of boom boxes and screens covered the stage where all the artists for the night performed.
The DJ Competition final came first with from what we heard, Yin was the winner, then JP and after that by Anthony. The up came the International djs with breaks and tracks such as paul oakenfolds ' ready steady go' being played as the last track before the big named man came on stage.
Pauls's set was a great crowd pleaser with old and new, commercial and non commercial uplifting tunes, which kept everyone dancing (like the Heineken marketing plan planned to do). Tracks even from U2 turned up in the 2 hour set.
Overall a great night with more effort and expense than usual at such Hitec events, hope that sets more of a better standard for future such parties at Hitec.
