Clubbing on a Sunday night has never been a favourite amongst local club-goers but on this particular night, the hardcore dug deep into their reserves to get themselves to Atmosphere for the 'electronic with no limit' experience with F-Comm's Laurent Garnier and Frederic Galliano. At first expectations for a crowd at all were low, but as the night wore on people started pouring in and gradually filled up the dancefloors. By the time peaktime rolled around, the dancefloor was reduced to a pit of dancing bodies.

Atmosphere itself seemed different, thanks to a few minor redecorations. One of the most prominent changes would be the look of the DJ console,
which now lies encircled by a huge circular lighting panel suspended around it. Also the addition of more comfortable sofas and some new lighting additions to the walls made the whole place feel a little bit more like a private function room rather than a club.

Garnier was up first, spinning a simple yet uplifting round of latin-laced house tracks that were surely meant as a warm up to Galliano's later set. Before long, Galliano slipped in and kicked off his live set with a slow beat, letting the Divas warm up to the crowd. The African Divas kept the crowd spellbound with tribal-sounding chants, while Galliano provided percussive accompaniment.

The Divas then kicked things into the next gear as Galliano upped the tempo. It was a wonderfully executed set which got the crowd moving to the beats and rhythms of the African sounds - an encouraging sign because it was surely something different. Galliano's music may not have been the typical prog or techno pounder, but it was definitely welcomed by KL's clubbers.

As soon as Galliano finished his set, it was time for Garnier to come back on the decks for another sonic assault, dropping excerpts from Martin Luther King Jr's 'I had a dream'. He started it off slowly, introducing some melodic latin house and then moving on to some more funky and techy tracks, with lots of background percussions. As the night carried on the crowd got more into the party lapping up every track that Garnier threw at them.

Sensing that the crowd wanted more, Garnier introduced some funky Samba-fused breaks and drum n bass into his set, which the crowd seemed to enjoy tremendously. Throughout his set, Garnier was seen dancing and shaking his thang in the DJ console, surely enjoying this Sunday night foray.

At about 3.20 though, Garnier was asked to pull the plug. The constant chanting for one more track echoed around the room as Garnier faded out of his final track. Responding to the crowd's fervent pleas, Garnier acquiesed and popped in one last track. To everyone's surprise, he played Nirvana's original mix of 'Smell's Like Teen Spirit', rounding up a satisfying evening of mixed music by one of the finest DJ's around.
