Heavenly Happening

Of the two new Soho social soiree’s that we said would soar, the latter launch was the one than very much captured the imagination of the capitals clubbing crowd, as Gigolo opened its door for the first time and were aghast by the huge response that saw host venue Lo-Profile packed to the rafters within the first hour of this new kid on the block. Indeed arriving at the hectic door in the company of close friend Brent Nicholls, along with cougar clubber Stephen & international playboy D.J. Paul Heron, we were lucky we were spotted by David Hart’s significant other, L.a. (as he is known) already having his hands full managing the masses who wanted a piece of this prolific party opener, we being ushered through the entrance & escorted straight into the club. And were we to be blown away by the promised transformation, the Lo-Profile space having been given the Gigolo stamp, with an ample stage area constructed, resplendent Gigolo signage shouting a smart & stylish statement, while soft seating & other additions gave this Wardour Street sophisticate an even more sumptuous feel. And the crowd were certainly lapping up this launch, a veritable feast for familiar & scene faces all making for the who’s who or the social society scene, the swarms of socialites just coming & coming, the list of lovelies now endless leaving us to exclaim “where do we start?”.

With that list saved for the full review, our attention was now drawn to the music and the cute yet capable Zach Burns, who was treating the classy crowd to tons of terrific tunes, a magical mixture of old classics re-made, intertwined with up to date floor fillers, the pace & pitch of his performance perfect for this superb Soho society social soiree that was definitely soaring by the minute. And we were soon in seventh heaven when Zach pulled out our favourite tune of now, the awesome “Stupiddisco 2011 Original Mix” by King Richard & Danny Thomas, we finding our favoured spot by the D.J. booth to invoke a mini “Doing The Disco Matt” routine, with others soon joining us in our jovial jaunts, while the gorgeous Gigolo go-go’s were also in full swing, we soon finding ourselves standing right next to one, who was shaking his thang at us, something substantial waggling in his tight shorts, very much eye popping excitement. With our blood pressure reaching boiling point, we sought respite at the bar, the Gigolo cocktails flowing, courtesy of David Hart who was also taking a moment before a catalogue of camera clicking, while great pal Tom Fuller had his hands full with his harem of Brazilian boys, we never been ceased to be amazed by all the cute guys he attracts, asking ourselves “are we jealous?”, you betcha!!, while yet more jealously overspilled when we caught female friend Andrea snogging so many more gorge men than us.

But the night was going from strength to strength, the way out & whacky show by Jeyjon hitting the mark, while incumbent D.J. Luke Howard’s music was pointing this pulsating party in a decidedly different direction, while we found ourselves in an a pseudo D.J. corner, as the likes of Guy Williams, Ben Jamin, Paul Heron, Mikey D & Brent Nicholls were all in close call, even the star of our Gigolo show, Zach Burns swinging by to say hi. So, with the super cool sounds matching the super stylish crowd of the good looking kind which continued  to pack out Gigolo’s launch and our captivating company carrying us well into Friday morning, with so much more to say on this spectacular start to the Hart’s heavenly happening, its “…ready, steady, go for the review…” (DISCO MATT)
