Conquest was an event that was enjoyed by many, with an exiting vibe as people danced into the early hours with nothing but the music to guide them. As usual the setup at Home Nightclub was lavish, with the mood lighting really setting the scene of what was to come. By the 11pm the club was filling up and having a boogie to the work of DJ Orpheus, who was laying down the basslines for people to dance to. The bar was flowing and there were plenty of alcoholic beverages with well-trained staff catering to everybody’s needs, with no one going thirsty. If not dancing, there was adequate space to sit, relax and enjoy the ambience of the night.
The vibe of the music was relaxed, as the people settled in for a night of hectic psytrance. As this sort of event generally attracts, there was a mixed crowd of people from different cultures and backgrounds, but they were all there to enjoy the music and dance into the early hours of the morning. After a while the fans became restless and rose to their feet once DJ Eskimo hit the stage. A roar of satisfaction was ehard as he opened with Frozen Low and Club 2000, which had the crowd in a trance of their own. The laser lighting moved supporters just that little bit more while the fog machine really left people looking at DJ Eskimo in a different light.
He was there for the people, making everyone feel like an individual with his attention pointed out to the crowd, his hand signals throwing out to the beat of the music. The expressions on DJ Eskimo’s face showed just how much he was enjoying it as he continued to spin, chop, mix and turn into the night. Feet didn’t stop shuffling and their hands reached over the barrier to try and touch their hero DJ Eskimo.
The vocals intensified as he reached for the keyboard and started to add some melodic tunes to the fat psychedelic basslines he’d been playing. More and more people were bouncing (mainly off each other), and some of the girls were lucky enough to dance up on stage next to where DJ Eskimo was performing. Once again the lasers flickered different shades of green and red, with the lighting intensifying to match the speed of the bass. It wasn’t long before the walls were shacking, the ground was moving and the heat intensified to the point that people were flocking to the bar to get some water to cool off!
When Eskimo wound up leaving the crowd wanting more, the Conquest crew lived up to their reputation with a blinding follow-up performance, encouraging fans to show off their own dance moves. Not unlike the international DJ star who had proceeded him, everyone was captivated at how much they felt the music. The night went off with a bang and no one was left disappointed.
The psytrance scene is alive and well in Sydney! Full credit goes to the Conquest crew for putting on such an awesome vent, as well as the organisers at Home Nightclub for facilitating a night that was run so professionally. Can’t wait for the next one…
