Club Shampoo Makes its Mark!

Club Shampoo Makes its Mark!
by: Jason Feingold

Last Night, Club Shampoo opened its doors for the very first time and made an indelible positive impression in the club scene. The club was setup by the very popular DJ Queen Edman. I’ve known Queen for a very long time now and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on a number of occasions including at Gay Pride earlier this year. I’ve seen him rise as a DJ Superstar and grow more confident over the past year and anybody who has ever hired Queen to DJ will tell you that he is one of the most professional and reliable DJs out there. So, it was my absolute pleasure and delight to be asked by Queen to DJ on his Launch Party alongside 5 other of the absolute very best and most notable DJ’s out there. It was great to see Queen’s dream and vision of owning and running his own club come to life yesterday after what can only described as a hugely successful opening night.

Club Shampoo kicked off with DJ Insyx Paranha for the first hour and he soon got everybody into full party mode with his popular gay pride hits. By the time I arrived at the party ready for my shift for hour number 2, the Club was already packed and the sim was at full capacity. Many of my DJ Jason group members were IMming me saying that they couldn’t get to the party because the sim was full. The crowd was pumped, energetic and were clearly having a blast from start to finish. Anybody who knows me is only too aware at how I love DJing at the bigger crowds. Some DJ’s prefer to play to smaller crowds with the more personal approach, which that brings while others thrive on playing at the bigger crowded parties. I am admittedly in the latter camp. The event was sponsored by Animations Rising and Colt Parx was on hand to assist Club Owner Queen Edman and Club Host, Revan Contepomi ensure everybody had a great time.

The Club was on fire from start to finish. Lots of old faces showed up that I hadn’t seen in a while, but it was clear that so many people wanted to come out in full force and support Queen Edman and Club Shampoo. It was absolutely awesome to see such an electric atmosphere and be a part of it. I played lots of new high energy dance and trance hits and DJ Vortmax Mumfuzz took over the decks after me and altered the tempo stepping it up with some of his favourite rock tracks. DJ Sasch Petrov (owner of DJ World) from Germany added a Euro pop twist to the decks and then the King of DJ,s Wesley Spengler turned the place upside down. The Main Event, was the club owner himself, Queen Edman who kept the crowd partying through the night in what was one of the biggest and most successful Club Launches seen in months. Last night, Club Shampoo proved it’s here to stay and has reinvigorated the gay club scene.

The gay club scene has been crying out for more clubs like this in the past month or so and Club Shampoo is a shining example of a highly recharged club scene and has now set a new standard bearer for others to follow. I chatted to Queen Edman before my set and he made me laugh remarking “I don't know how the hell u ran a club, I'm going nuts – LOL!” That totally cracked me up. I know only too well how pressurized it can be running a club and one that has attracted huge crowds on the night that demand your full attention and all the problems on the night that can arise in ensuring everything runs smoothly. However, last night Queen Edman handled it within his stride and made the gay community proud in Second Life. I wish Queen and Club Shampoo the very best of luck and I can’t wait to spin the decks again there very soon.

The club will open its doors again this week on Thursday for a Hard Rock Night with DJ Lillandra Lancaster. Queen Edman takes to the decks on Friday night for a foam party and there'll also be an exciting Fusion Party on Saturday Night with the very best trance and rave music. Check out Club Shampoo this week and show your support for SL's hottest new gay dance club.
