Tonight we were invited for the launch night of TWISTED LOVE @NEIGHBOURHOOD a
new night with a new concept of playing all music genres, yes that's right all music
genres from Funk, disco, soul house etc...

We decided to take the train as we were all up for a good old drink, so we landed outside Westbourne Park station as there's a cool Pub were we started our night before heading
down to Neighborhood which is only a five minute walk away which is very handy.

A lot of web sites state that if you travel by tube to get out at Labbroke Grove, well if you
like walking then get out there if your not into walking you will be better of getting out
at Westourne Park Station as it is a shorter walk.

As we approached Neighbourhood I was surprised to see a large orderly crowd, as I did
expect everyone to be inside since it was near 11.30pm, well that just shows how popular
the night was. It was good to see the Security & PR Staff had everyone in an orderly
queue and been as helpful as possible.

As you enter Neighbourhood you will find the cloakroom right in front of you. We then entered through the main doors, which lead to the main bar & dance floor.

We were just in time to catch Norman Jay playing a diverse selection of music and we had
heard a few whispers in the Crowd as to what time Norman was on so clearly people had come down to catch him on the decks. You would have had to arrive early to catch him as he
was playing an early set due to been in high demand.

Getting a drink at the bar was no problem as all the bar staff were working at a 100 miles
an hour to keep down the queues. The bar was packed out with people wanting a drink,
so well done to the bar staff for working so hard; maybe you guys deserve a pay rise?

I looked at my watch and realized it was only still 11.45 and yet the dance floor was already
half packed with people letting loose to this Variety of musical flavors which was going
down well with the crowd.

On looking around it dawned on me that the atmosphere was more like a party atmosphere
you would get at a party been thrown in a house, people really were just really having
a good old laugh. Of course this was purely down to the music been played so the DJ's had achieved what the night was all about, creating a party atmosphere.

I think part of the crowd did not know Twisted Love was about playing all kinds of music from
disco to funk to soul, hip hop, house etc. I noticed a number of people going up to the DJ's and asking for house music which is music to my ears but really you should never bother a DJ when he's playing its really is not cool to do so. DJ's can only bring 100-150 records at one time,
so what chance have they got when someone from the crowd asked for a certain record, no chance so LEAVE THE DJ ALONE they really are doing their best to please the crowd.

The crowd really did enjoy this concept, as there was a great deal of flirting going on the
dance floor which was all in good fun. It was also good to see a good Variety of age groups
in the crowd who were all dressed exactly how they wanted as they is no dress code,
and that's how it should be.

At about 12.45pm I made my way upstairs, which will lead you to the surrounding balcony,
and on looking down onto the dance floor I noticed it was now completely packed
out with people dancing. If you have come up stairs to chill out for a while then you will find seating all round the balcony area with a bar located at one end.

At 1pm DJ Gareth Watkins (of Funkt-if-ino) & Paul Kelly graced the decks and played
a great Variety of house music, to finish the night off with a bang.

The next Twisted Love is on the 27th February and I have already told people I know to get themselves down there, as the night was pure class. Remember its all about playing
all kinds of music so if that's what you want then watch out for TWISTED LOVE.
