Hey, Where'd My Depression Go?

Oh wait - it seems dkd killed it.

The clubbing benchmark of the city (declared as an officially released statement by yours truly), is unsurprisingly mentioned on most of the dating profiles on this site as a "Favourite club". And in my eyes, they've accomplished (an continue to do) something near-impossible in this fickle city - gaining simple long-term respect and loyalty.

Even though many would associate the term "Underground" with alternative/experimental venues, dkd persists in using the word as a direct association ... and doesn't quite pull it off, except in perhaps the literal sense. This is, however, not at all a problem. And just like a Libra (if you've into star signs that is), there's a distinct balance: the balance of bringing in the big names, without getting a big head, or at least over-commercialized.

And as we all know, the guy who can't breakdance or grafitti, James Lavelle, will join the boast-worthy dkd party list soon enough (after tonight), and is most definitely leading the taxi ride choice tonight, or tied with Barbarossa Bollywood, Pegasus's DJ Food and Bon Bon's Marco V, in any case. And if there's no glossy ticket/s encased in your wallet yet - have no fear - 180rmb will get you there.
