Hardwell (and Tony Junior) in Taipei
I was heading for a Hardwell concert yesterday...
...passing this bridge in northern taipei...
...to Dajia park...
....omg a long queue...
...adfter 20 mins I found that it streched even longer...
omg a guy with a volcom cap...
,,,and a fixed gear bike...without brakes...epic...
after 40 minutes or something of queueing we ere closed to the concert place...
...many locals bringing water and alcohol...
...not sure who was playing when I entered the area....
...they also had some systen that u had to pay for some drink tickets at one place and buy at aonther...but no information about it...so many ppl were queuing for drinks for 10 mins, and then were told that they have to queue somewhere else to get "drink tickets"....frustrating...
At the coupon tent things were described..but this test wasnt at easy to find...
...a drink ticket...so exclusive....
...they only had corona...
...at another bar they had whisky coke...and at a third bar they had redbull...
...at 18-19 it became dark...
...some "VIP" place...for ppl who pays extra much...
Many ppl had cellphones recoding the concert...but it was forbidden to bring "big cameras"..what that now means...
...after some hour Hardwell entered the stage...
Hardwell is ranked number 2 in the world at the most recent rank (this list changes often)...
...he played man songs...but his style was to have the vocals for the first 1 min...then he added some uplift sound...and then some minue of heavy kick...this was done over and over...
...some ppl brought balloons...
He also played armin van buurens pingpong song...some avicce and swedish house maffia...
I got some light-dark...that was in blue and white...
Some guy carrying a girl on his shoulders
Some TV was also there...
...after 2-3 hours of playing time reached 21...and I strategically went to the exit of the area...I guess it gona be a long queue out else...
...from distance it was easier to see the light show as well...
...they blocked 2 out of the 3 entrance doors...
...It was like a swedish festaval entrance...but felt more chaotic...
at 21.30 he still played...
Some final lights...
...we also got some info about future DJs...in recent years taiwan really focused on DJs at the Mag 100-list..they announced their rank on each DJ...just like they have a rank of their universities...
...next place to hit was "New luxy"...or "OMNI"...
...there were some ppl who went here after the Hardwell concert...
Here they also gave you drink tickets...but the entrance fee here was very expensive for being a nightclub...
...it was a very dark place...compare to old luxy...
...a blur pic of Oskar...
...and some hardwell flags carried by some locals...
...it was very loud volume here...not sure why...
...their walls were covered with screens...so they ahd some cool visual effects...
...they also ahd some dancing girls like old luxy...but also some pikachu...
...many ppl taking pics......
the dancing pikachus also had laser eyes...and smoke from their mouth...
after some time Tony Junior came to the stage...in general they play some unknown hiphop beated kick at taiwanese nightclubs...while foreiners moe often play house inpired hits...which is easier to dance along with...
Tony Junior was on number 119...on mag 150...but I think he was far more entertaining than hardwell...and his songs was also slightly better...(even though he might not have make the remixes himself)...
They had moregirls dancing and some other effects during the show...
...oskar compalined bout he drinks...the bartender logic was that for the drink tickets one can only get beer...even if water and softdrinks were cheaper...after discussing some minutes with the robot mentality staff..they agreed that it was a stragne rule and gave ppl what they wanted...oskar often refer this local logic with the book catch 22, where ppl say that they see things twice...in some kind of "dont think or ask, just do as u are told" logic...
...he got barely any coke in his glass...90% ice...
Tony Juniior had some starnge guy on the stage...with a suit wathcing him...
...sometimes the suit guy sat behing Tony Juntion...hiding...
Sometimes he had a film camera filming him...maybe it was his manager who made a promotion video...
...more filming...
and more pikachu...
...they also serverd vodka and some sparkling wine at the stage....
Gustaf, oskars friend was hitting on ppl...pretty entertaining to watch...
Tony danced along his songs...
Some local guy also hit on Gustafs target...
...omg...I found a shoe on the dancefloor...I wonder who lost it...
I also saw a girl we used to call "5 min" girl...pretty interesting character...
She has a triangle shaped tattoo on her back...and some cool tattoos on her arms...2016 continues...
