When you’re doing club events and clubbing as a lifestyle, hobby and work at some point you just lose big amount of the enthusiasm of going out and to the clubs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very nice and enjoyable, but you’re lacking the excitingness.
The Tullikamari raves in Tampere in ’94-’96 and Love Parade in ’99 were fantastic experiences for a young teenage boy, but I haven’t had a similar huge emotion rush in a party too many times ever since.
Well, Pacifique had it all. The exciting and nostalgic boom in your chest, anxious waiting to get there and a pure and energetic feeling of happiness. I had heard about the uplifting water splashing at the main arena, but that and several other details are just something you can’t describe if you haven’t been there yourself.
It was a totally unique concept well executed. I’m happy of getting the possibility of being there last night.
Here’s the tracklist of the From Rural To Urban style chill-out set from the sauna area.

…and what about the afterparty? ;)
Looks like a nice tracklist, sorry I missed it. Ilya Maluev’s Kiviniemi EP is just beautiful, loving that ‘Little Sad Smile’ -track among others.
The afterparty was way too foggy to be mentioned ;) Especially the very emotional Hybrid-conversation… :) But thanks for smuggling us in!
