Black chandeliers were suspended over the long rectangular dance floor and the flashing lights lit up the fancy attire of those who filled Rendezvous Niteclub. A few screens surrounding the DJ set projected the crisp Factory Nightlife logo while deep house kept a continuous feel-good groove.

The venue was dripping with elegance. The sophisticated decor of Statler City and the club itself was breathtaking. Each room had personality and an atmosphere that breathed sleekness.

Jarvis and Angelo Petrucci warmed up the crowd until legendary DJ and producer Paul Oakenfold took the stage. The floor quickly filled in with dancing people and became progressively compact and sweaty, but from what I saw no one seemed to mind. Oakenfold's set was flawless. Well paced house and trance, Oakenfold kept the mood appropriately peaking and dipping.

During his set the screens were projected with mesmerizing morphing geometrical patterns and trippy visuals. Images of women dressed in white danced on a beach as he dropped an Above and Beyond track - my heart soared. That night, Oakenfold brought a perfect mental journey for the trance and house heads. It was a set that had the ability to reach the core of your soul.
