Steve Aoki 08-04-2012 Paradiso Amsterdam NL AMAZING!!!

We went to see Steve Aoki in Club Paradiso on Sunday night; just happened to see a poster a few days previously. I have been listened to No Beef by Steve Aoki and Afro Jack for the past few weeks, so I jumped at the chance to go although I didn't really know what to expect.





We queued up outside for about 10 minutes with dozens of other people as everyone made their way inside. We had bought the tickets and membership on line, printed them off, took them along, had them scanned and in we went. The bass coming out of the main area was incredible.

We waited for a while at the clockroom to put our coats away, but it was worth it. If you wanted to go up to either of the balconies and keep your stuff with you, you would still have plenty of room,

Drinks were a good price, €2.50 for a beer and the best bit of all .....water was free! It makes such a difference; a free glass of cold water any time you want, instead of paying €3.00 each time for a small mouthful, in a hot banging club when you're dancing.

Steve Aoki came on and was absolutely amazing; seriously, one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. From the moment he came on everyone went mad. From the moment he started playing, I was blown away. Every track was incredible and there wasn't one person in the place who wasn't bouncing.

Paradiso is a great venue, nice staff, good prices (€15.00 for the show + 3.50 membership), good toilets, easy cloakrooms. It's actually an old church but has been an iconic music venue for years. This show was no exception in an enviable history. Steve threw cakes into the crowd, sprayed everyone with champagne several times, pushed an inflatable boat into the crowd and then jumped from the balcony ONTO the boat and went crowd surfing.

The best night I've had in Amsterdam and I would recommend ANYONE go and see him.

Paradiso is at stop Leidesplein and 2 minutes walk, just ask.
