Nights are different though. Especially weekend nights. When the night lights are on, it signals endless fun in town. Abi Dhabi sparkles, really.
And for two weekends straight, I've been to the most awesome parties at the Palace and have met two celebrity DJs from two different continents.
Bring Down the House with British DJ Dane Bowers happened on the 16th of March (technically, the 17th, around 2am :)) It was techno, urban, all hands up to his mix!
And just when I thought parties at the Palace couldn't get any more fab...DJ Spinbad came to town, and brought his "big boss" along. The first time I was at the Madinat Souk Jumeirah in Dubai, Russell Peters was there. I was at the Dome and I can practically here his act throughout the night. I always watch his gigs on youtube and this man is hilarious! Then I saw his bit in "New Year's Eve", the movie with an ensemble cast led by Michelle Pfeiffer, Katherine Heigl, and Ashton Kutcher. He was his Indian self there.
First off, DJ Jack was already revving he house music when I arrived at étoiles Thursday night. And man, believe me, this was one of DJ Jack's best nights ever. He was unbelievably on top of his game, and percussion master George Safi was in sync with him. They were lookin' and signing at each other and the result was madness on the dance floor. It was, once again, a full house night packed with groups, couples and even stags, all ready to loosen up and make this one ravin' hub.
And it was.
So when Russell Peters and DJ Spinbad set foot on the house, it was awesome madness. I knew his DJ was gonna be there, but really didn't expect Russell would have the energy to party on after his show over at Yas Island. But there he was.
He had big men to bounce off hecklers, but they were gracious to my surprise, letting me scoot over with the comedian and take some snaps. Other ladies followed suit, and then let the celeb to enjoy the rest of the night. And enjoyed he did.
He was dancin' atop the couch and bobbing up and down along with everyone as Spinbad did his thang. The music was fantastic and the mash-ups were out of this planet. George Safi revved up the beat which totally rocked the house more!
It was a blast. Really. And it felt like it was only half past midnight. Rock on.
Best parties only happen in Abu Dhabi. Best party ever is at etoiles.
