We'd been looking forward to this most talked about night for
days, as I approach Rehab on a night in Leeds that thankfully
spared us the rain and could almost be called a warm summers
evening. We arrived early because of fore-warning about the
amount of clubbers expected and its already looking like a smart
decision. Not long after 9pm there are plenty waiting to get
in waiting for the doors to open @ 10pm and once we finally
get inside we find it's already packed. First Things first we
get a drink from the bar and check out our surroundings, Whilst
the bar staff are dressed in white coats and Stethoscopes it
all adds to the atmosphere of the clubs theme, which I must
say is quite impressive.
The décor of the club is designed
more for the grown up style conscious kind of clubbers. Designed
supplied by IGLOO with top of the range sound and lighting
system in a grade 1 listed building "what more could
you ask for"?
The space is a reasonably well lit room with a dance area
raised by a couple of steps. Around the edges of the bar and
the dance floor' are tables and very swanky seating. On the
upper level the theme of the club carries through all the
rooms with a big glass wall over looking the dance floor on
the floor below. (very nice)
The tunes were received well, and the crowd
were going crazy as they recognised and grooved to their favourites
tracks from the DJ's playing a set thumping American house
beauties with electronic edge on the main dance floor. The
atmosphere was incredible, the stunning lighting and sound
systems, which had been elaborately honed to perfection by
room acoustic experts, put the "feel-good" cherry
on top of the Back To Basics clubbing cake.
