West-Balkán, the superclub of Budapest

finally I’ve been in the West-Balkán yesterday
to check out the place and talk over the things for next week’s party
the club is HUGE
three floors, the main room’s capacity is about 1800 ppl
plus they will have two smaller rooms, with a view pictured above
and each ‘small’ room’s capacity is about 400 ppl, how great is that!
I think these parametest alone make the West-Balkan a superclub
but here are more dope things
most of the parties will be FREE
each month’s first Saturday will be a MashupCentral nite
plus we will do few special extra things ;)
and West-Balkan itslef booked wicked bands already
if you to come to Budapest, West-Balkán is a must see for sure

West-Balkán is about to open

as you know it already APC’s party series will return in a new venue
West-Balkán was a legendary underground club in Budapest
now after a two years break they open a brand new venue
they got themselves into the two top floors of Skála Metró
it was the biggest department store of Budapest in those ‘communist years’
now it will be an awesome club
the place was presented to the media today
if you read Hungararian check out the Quart’s post
if you don’t just watch the slideshow of the construction
this will be HUGE in every possible way
the first MashupCentral party will take place on 13th March
as the second day of the three days giga opening
our DJ lineup will be giga as well
DJ Schmolli, Superman and Simon Iddol
M-Audio <3 Simon Iddol


I’m flattered
if love could really kill I would be dead now
the wonderful M-Audio Hungary kindly supported me with these superb tools
just in the perfect moment!!
as you know I’m a die hard Ableton Live user
so I’m really happy to use hardwares from the same family
the Fast Track Pro is a great soundcard
it was supereasy to set up and works really well
I will use it in my studio and in my gigs too
the IE-20 XB High-Precision Professional Reference Earphones are dope
not sure about DJ use yet, but I will test it and will let you know
I can’t say how thankful I am, so let me put it this way
