We spent an hour or two at Shark Hotel dancing around (I don’t write reviews for Puls8 @ Shark Hotel anymore – it’s the same every weekend). We decided to go upstairs after 4am, when entry became free.

Inside: The big room at Space has a curtain about 3/4ths of the way back, which was used, to cut off some of the space in the back not being used. It shrank the dancing area but also made the effect of a more smaller and cosier room, which works. Otherwise the room may have looked a bit more dead as the turnout isn’t so big here.
Cloak Room: Unknown
Music Style: Trance, hardstyle, Dubstep
Crowd & Ratio: Mostly guys. I am surprised at the number of people still here as well, dancing or not dancing, at 4AM. Granted, most people were standing around or too tired to dance, there were still a handful dancing on the floors themselves. I was honestly expecting a lower number of people.
Atmosphere: Dying down. Well, it was 4AM but it wasn’t dead. People are up and about.
Videos: Main Room
Video: Secondary Trance Room
Timeline
I had a quick dance, and even I was too tired to do much. We left quite soon after.
Thoughts
I wouldn’t mind seeing what it was like at capacity. I would imagine it to be pretty good if you are into hardstyle / contemporary trance.
Leadup: Walking around finding a club
We had NO IDEA where to go. We went to Cargo – it was $20 to get in. Bungalow 8 – there was a SHE event. It looked pretty good from outside, but it wasn’t dancey enough for us. We were looking for a good place to get in, preferably without paying. We even went to Shark Hotel – there was no DJ tonight! We walked to St. James. The organiser was outside, redirecting everyone to Space. He admitted that there weren’t enough people so they moved them all to space. Space?? *Cringe!*! We went to Nevermind Nightclub. (By now we had walked around for about an hour) and I was keen to get in. Bouncer said it was $15 with about 50 people inside. There was even RNB music! Ok, we went upstairs towards the entry booth. Some girls were leaving, and we asked if it was good inside. They said “its not good, but its not bad either”. “So its shit then” we reply, “yeah, its shit”. The guy at the counter said it was $25 to get in. It was 10.30 pm and he wants to add extra!! $15 entry only applied between 9-10pm. Considering there were about 60 people inside, we left, and went to Space.
Easter Sunday @ Space Nightclub

300 people in the club! Bouncer’s honour..
The bouncer at Space told me “Theres 300 people inside the club. Are you sure you want to go in?”.
“I guess so” I say
“You guess so? Theres 300 people inside the club! It’s packed!!” Did he not us to go in?
I ask my friends “So, do you guys want to go in?”
“We walked for an hour, lets just go in”
Bouncer to my friends “are you sure? theres 300 people inside!!”
The bouncer even kindly pointed out that his hand counter had clicked 500 people entering. The exit bouncer had 200 clicks, which made for 300 people inside. He was messing with us the whole time! grr..
I really wonder why we even bothered arguing with the bouncer and his counter. We went inside and paid the $20…
