Kandy Club – DJ Suketu

My first Indi-Clubbing experience happened yesterday, and it was one of the most amazing nights I ever had. Initially I was under the impression that clubbing is the lowliest thing one could do, where people who can’t keep their hands off of others go. But my last night changed all that.

First when I entered Kandy Club (which is in actuality Club Peppermint, but on Thursday Desi nights it’s called Kandy Club), I was a little disappointed, because it is medium sized, n it was a lil empty. Obviously since I had entered the club around10.30pm at night, which is too early. But I was immediately taken aback by the ambience. The lighting effect and the smoke effect were just too good. The crowd that started building up after midnight was quite decent and were confined to their own group of friends. There was no unnecessary touching or loittering of whatsoever that I was so concerned about before clubbing.

On either side of the club was located the bars. The bartenders were very friendly, and were always ready to serve you with a smile. I had ordered for a bull frog as advised by my friend. The cocktail was excellent, though the price charged is a little high. The bull frog costed me 50 AED, beer 30 AED and Tequilla Shot 21 AED. So that I found a little disappointing, but then it was fine cause being a lady I got to enter free before 11pm. Guys who were charged entry fee and other gals who were charged entry fee cause they entered after 11pm, even they were ordering for drinks left right and centre, without thinking about the price. So I guess it is a given when you go for clubbing that the drinks are going to be expensive. But since this was my first time, I was a little taken aback.

Lastly the music. Whatever disappointment I had was more than made up for by the music that was played. The in-house DJs DJ Hani and DJ Shadow were anyway playing great music, but once DJ Suketu came, the club was on fire. The foot-tapping heart-thumping music was to die for. I danced like no one was seeing me. All this coming from a total shy non-dancer? Trust me, only if the music was really that amazing then would I shake a leg.

I spent some 2 and a half hours in there and moved out around 1am. But I wanted to stay there till the end. My leg is gone now, it is hurting alot, but no complaints.. Cause the pain was all worth it. DJ Suketu and not to forget Kandy Club RULES!!!
