The New Year celebrations have come and gone,
and clubbers were out to look for something to
revive their inner raver spirits. But the month
of January only had a handful of parties to offer
these searching souls. Thus it was no doubt that
many of them would turn up for the fifth installment
of Regenerate.
It was surpirising to see that many of the punters
had arrived even before the stroke of midnight
for the event. This was later uncovered to be
the doing of the cheaper cover rates charged before
12am. This and the fact that Regenerate was the
only big party of the month, led to an even bigger
crowd turn out.
Used as a front to showcase local DJ talents,
Regenerate once again proved to live up to its
reputation. This time round the DJ line up was
started off by Simon Beaumont, followed by none
other than Suresh, Eugene, Brian aka Burger and
to finish it all off Gabriel, who incidentally
had just arrived back from Jakarta that day. These
guys managed to blow the roof off (or atleast
the mixer) as the party progressed throught the
night.
It was good to see that by the time 12am rolled
on by, that the punters had already invaded the
dance floors. With the music blasting and the
punters moving one could see that it was going
to be an eventful night. Simon Beaumont started
off the night with some hardy house tunes and
slowly progressed into the more harder side of
house. By the time it came to Suresh's turn to
get behind the decks the party was already in
full flight. Eventhough there were a few technical
diffculties during his set Suresh kept on pumping
out the beats.

At about 1am it was time for Eugene to take control
of the decks and took the crowd to a higher level
of 'Regeneration'. As Brian gradually took over
the cheers from the cheers were ecstatic. Brian
made no mistake by churning out the hardest and
fastest techno tracks to keep the crowd in motion.
It would seem that the techno that was being pumped
out was far too much even for the mixer to handle.
This eventually caused the mixer to blow and had
to be replaced with a new one!! Eventually after
5 minutes of dead air and the relentless chanting
of punters, the music came back on louder and
harder than ever.
At about 4am it was time for Gabriel to take
over from. His arrival was welcomed by the punters
all around. It was then left up to him to wind
down the party and to bring it to its eventual
closure. At about 5.35am, the music eventually
ceased and not even the incessant chantings of
the crowd could make it come back on. But it was
felt that almost everyone who was present at the
party went home went home happy.
