It's not often the words Liverpool, Hard House & Trance are mentioned in the same sentence but when Cream Versed Nukleuz at Nation the emphasis was on full-scale party!

As we went in, I noticed how large the club actually was, room after room with the VIP room up some stairs in the main room which in this case was home to the cloakroom. I was pleasantly suprised at the lack of queues to get in the club, the cloakroom and for the bars! At one end of the room was the DJ box where DJ Montanza was banging out some wicked hi-energy Trance tunes whilst at the other end clubber danced on some grandstand-style stairs.

I just caught the end of Dirty Vegas playing their live set & i must admit even though this wasn't my style of music i was somewhat uplifted by the atmosphere - it was electric!

Through in the Courtyard Guffy was banging out some hi-energy hard trance tunes and was getting ready to hand over to Rob Tissera who played his usual uplifting set filled with accapellas which kept the crowd stomping on the floor. Recent tunes such as James Lawson 'Energise' and Miss Behavin's 'Such a Good Feeling' accompanied classics such as 4 motion 'Over 4 Me' - possibly more popular than it has even been due to the reaction of the crowd!

The sound system, lights & effects throughout all three room were all top quality - the sound system was crisp & clear whilst the bass didn't pound through your head. Strobe lights flashes intermittently whilst green lasers injected their glory into the already buzzing atmosphere.  

Paul Glazby was last to play in the Courtyard with his often copied, but never bettered hard-as-nails style, starting with a medley of well-known tunes and promptly caused mayhem on the dancefloor! Tunes such as his own 'Kick It' as well as a couple by 'R R Fierce' kept the crowd, although starting to thin out at this late hour, still going strong!

As i walked back into the main room i could see where the crowd had gone - it was heaving in there, clubbers were dancing anywhere & everywhere they could, JFK had them enthralled!

My Verdict

Top Venue, Top Tunes, Lots of Special Effects, friendly bouncers & no queues!
