Just when the summer party season is coming to an end in most countries, in the UAE ours is just beginning. After an extremely hot summer, where temperatures approached 50C (yes hot enough where you could actually scramble eggs on the sidewalk), temperatures are slowly cooling down to more comfortable levels. This means the dance floor will be heating up again as all the al fresco bars reopen.

Its like when you are in high school and everyone takes off for the summer, then school is back in session and you reunite with all your friends. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone back on the dance floor, especially after a long month of Ramadan.

This fall season is going to be very special as the line up for Friday’s at 360 hosts an incredible roster of world class talent. The fabulous Audio Tonic residents JC, Mr Mr, Vas Floyd, and Raxon will taking back to the decks on September 25th for the official reopening party. They’ve had 3 months off to gather lots of new tracks, I can’t wait to hear what they have in store for us.

The international line up starts on Oct 2nd, with our favorite Argentinean Ricky Ryan! I’m so excited to have Ricky here for a stop on his MOB tour. You will be able to listen to his new CD full of his own productions, as we will be giving away free copies of the CD at both Cubes and 360, so make sure you get copy!

Every Thursday of the month Sugar Nights at Cubes will be hosted by Hassan in partnership with Big Al of Ready Mix Records. They will be bringing us the Ready Mix Sessions at Cubes and also at Waves. This means that we get to hear our some of our DJ’s play not once but twice!

I’ve been helping the guys book some amazing talent for these nights. I was happy to have one of my favourite Discoteca boys, Tom Morgan, back in the UAE to celebrate the end of Ramadan on the first day of Eid which was last Sunday.

It was really tricky planning this party as weren’t sure when the holiday would be. The Sheikh has to see a full moon before he officially announces the end of Ramadan, this happens the day before the Eid holiday begins. In the end it all came together well and Tom played an extremely smooth set of funky to progressive house, very suitable for the bar/lounge atmosphere of Cubes.

To keep you extra excited for future Ready Mix Sessions and Audio Tonic nights at 360 here is the official line up for the rest of the year! Hope to see you on the dance floor soon!
