LICKED rock The Whitehouse once more!!! REVIEW + PIX....
LICKED had our debut @ The Whitehouse back on Valentine's Day, with the gorgeous DJ LOTTIE headlining - and what a night that was! I thought it was going to be hard to top it but we were really looking forward to getting our hands on the venue once more, for our second event there, Sat 4th April - this time we had the awesome OUT OF OFFICE (aka Michael Woods) headlining....

Yet again LICKED co-promoter Rob LoCo (and helpers - thanks guys!) out-did himself on the decor side of things and made The Whitehouse un-recognizable! We brought in extra lighting and laser shows (thanks Steve!!) across both floors, full club decor, projections, etc etc - the full 'Licked Effect' !! I love rocking up to the venue and seeing what Rob;s done with it, as I'm always blown away. The place looked great and we had that feeling the night was going to be special again....

From start to finish, we couldnt have really asked for much more; with our usual LICKED fave rezzie djs and a host of new guest djs too, the music was absolutely spot on. Upstairs has come to be known as the 'Electro' room whenever Licked are in town. Pumping from the offset, it's not for the faint hearted! Newcomers and good friends Eddie B & Dave Stanford got things moving perfectly then handed over to another Licked newbie George Powell, who smashed it too. Headline set in that room went to Brighton legend & Wild Fruit resident Jon Byrne. We'd heard nothing but great stuff about Jon and he also did not disappoint, tearing the place up for the last couple of hours....that top floor was rammed all night long, well done guys!

The Main Room downstairs is always a much more 'House-y' vibe at Licked but is always really upbeat, upfront and driving House....just my cup of tea :) Again, i can't fault any of the djs - Mark Hope eased us into the night with some nice deep and soulful house early doors. He handed over to Licked rezzie James Wilkinson, back on the wheels of steel after smashing the closing set on Valentines. James upped the tempo perfectly and took us towards midnight when the mighty MICHAEL WOODS came on.....and then it went right off!!!! Michael has a great reputation on the international club circuit and he fit in with the Licked vibe perfectly. He got the crowd going so well and continued to pick up the pace more and more. That Main Room was even busier than it was on Valentine's - and that's saying something! Myself and Rob Loco carried us through once Michael finished and we handed over to Licked debutant Alex Acuna - who played a blinding closing set. There was sooooo much positivity in that room and the place was jumping right through till the last track went down with the lights up.

Like i say, we just couldnt have asked for more. Great clubbers, djs, music and vibes. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER! I could rabbit on for a lot longer but I'll leave it there and let the photos (BIG thanks to Marc De Groot) do the talking - as they say it all i think!!

LICKED.....is it time for the next party yet???? GOOD TIMES!! :)

BIG LOVE X jas & all @ LICKED X
