Human waves invaded the La Marina Joseph Khoury Dbayeh venue. People from all over Lebanon, the region and the world united along with the Two Masters of Progressive House “Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo” in this night, to register not only another Poliakov successful event, but a historical one.
The musical effectiveness of this event can not be measured. The experience was exotic, orgasmic, out of this planet…. The experience was historical in all its meanings. The venue was an extravaganza with lasers, CO2 Pumps, the special tent covering not only the crowds, but a unique 180 degrees DJ booth in between six huge LED screens, projecting a live feed from BeirutNightLife.com lens. The sexy dancers, fire show, and the dazzling visuals were another part of the history making.
The event began with a firm warning from Jade & Diamond Setter “Buckle up ladies and Gentleman, it will be a bumpy ride!!” The warm up was up to the reputation set for making history, crowds started the night early, dancing, cheering while Nick Warren was getting ready and pumping up in the backstage, to give his best to Lebanon.
After Nick Warren, one of the masters of that night, hit the decks, the human waves that controlled the venue had one goal, to dance the night till the sun rises. The music from the stage was the perfect club mix of ‘driving percussion and soaring musicality, bursting out of the speakers, soaking everyone in melody, drenching them in sound’.
When the Argentinean stepped in to take over from Nick Warren, one master of Progressive House handing the stage to another master, you can feel the crowds roaring, the stage shaking, the hype elevating till you feel goosebumps. ‘Deep, melodic and groovy’ the South American DJ approached Lebanon with his performance. More crowds were still arriving to the venue, and by 5:45 a.m Hernan handed the decks to your Lebanese international DJ Ali Ajami for more and more clubbing in the daylight.
Ali Ajami, and before the fire set by Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo was out, he hit the decks with his beats setting another fire that kept clubbers dancing the early hours of the morning witnessing the glamourous Lebanon sunshine. Clubbers of Lebanon interacted with Ali Ajami as if they have just started there night with him, dancing, cheering, jumping through the sun rays of La Marina Dbayeh.
The best sets, and long hours of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Five Dj’s, including the GODS of Progressive House took the crowds in a trip From Beirut, to England, to Argentina and back to homeland. Clubbers danced like there is no tomorrow, music was mesmerizing, hypnotic, fresh, classy, energetic aural delight for clubbing experience.
Beirut was the talk of the world, Beirut was on the international map, Beirut made history yesterday.

ay the 8th was an historic night for Lebanese clubbing, and by historic, I do mean historic. The flood of events in the past couple of years has made them mundane to the heavy clubber like myself. It’s rare that a stadium event can truly touch you.
The two masters of Progressive House, Nick Warren and Hernan Kattaneo flanked by the Middle East’s best tech-house talents, Jade, Diamond Setter and Ali Ajami, made the lineup perfect for the perfect night.
The music, the hype, the dancing, the lights, lasers, CO2 pumps, the confetti and Nicksy’s MCing kept the party going steady for hours non-stop. The unique setup though was the cherry on top. A massive white tent housed most of the main arena and the VIP and VVIP sections, with one side open to the steps leading to the shore, providing a mild, refreshing breeze every now and then. La Marina, the venue once dreaded by so many, was one of the best so far.
The decks where set in between four massive LED screens forming a prism-like tower stretching all the way up to the roof. The prism-like LED set up had another two screens behind them, with stunning visuals and interactive text messages making the crowd go wild… in a synchronous fashion.
The spectacle though was not restricted to the stage area. 4 different platforms were spread all across the venue, with sexy dancers and fire-breathers taking turns at wowing the crowd, as stilt-walkers all lit up sprinkle silver dust on the revelers. Every few minutes, the dancers returned with different costumes and a different theme, eliciting a good share of the crowd’s attention.
As the sun rose and flooded the venue, the exuberant crowd was not ready to stop dancing, and Ali Ajami was more than happy to oblige with pushing the night well into Sunday.
NRJ and Poliyakov have proven they are well above the electronic music industry standards. Within a mere two years, the organizers have delivered, time and again, an unforgettable experience in all realms of electronic dance music. From breathtaking Trance with Above and Beyond and Cosmic Gate, to Progressive House heaven with Nick Warren and Hernan Kattaneo, Poliyakov and NRJ have secured their spot in the international clubbing scene’s creme de la creme, with a minimum of wazawez and a maximum of music lovers.
