Dance Factory

Everything about Hype is complimented to accentuate the senses,from the moment you enter. Once inside,a sound-proof double door opens up to a wide wooden dance floor. Look up,and 1,100 diamante lights that change colour in sync with the beats of the music,stare you down. There are mirrors everywhere,while the railings separating the dance floor from the sitting area,are artfully decked up with LED tube lights. These too are coordinated with the music. The wall behind the DJs console has equaliser panels running along its breadth,with lights that almost come to life to the sound of music. Heavy purple drapes with a glass door separate the VIP seating area from the dance area. The shelves of the semi-circular bar tease you with fancy Cristal champagne bottles,while the bartenders impress guests with their juggling tricks. “We have offered the best of what nightclubs internationally offer,” says DJ Assad Namazi,Aqeel’s business partner in the venture.

The music though,is something a regular Delhi clubgoer might be a tad disappointed with. Despite his association with Bollywood,Aqeel keeps film tracks at a minimal,playing instead a mix of hip hop,trance,house and R and B. The place is mostly reserved for ‘private members’,though walk-in couples are allowed only on weekends. The entry charges are Rs 5,000 (Rs 2,000 entrance and Rs 3,000 cover charge) per couple.
