THE CLUB REPORTS
################

THE CHERRY MOON, IN BELGIUM
===========================

* THE HOUSE OF HOUSE - CHERRY MOON *
(Gentsesteeweg 144 - Lokeren - Belgium)

I think everybody will know this club by now since the home
dj 'Yves Deruyter' scored a major hit with 'The House Of
House - Cherry Moon Tracks Volume I' (Out on Bonzai Records)
and now with his new one 'Let There Be House'.
The club is already quite old. I used to go their almost
every week ages ago. Before Bonzai Records even existed,
the beginning of house/acid music, the end of New-Beat.
In that time the home dj was 'The Fly' (Wellknow from
Bonzai Records and lots of mega-raves like MAYDAY 6,
Mystery Land...).
The reason why I was going there every week was because one
of my favourite places 'The Boccaccio Life' was closed.
The Boccaccio was a really famous place in that time, the
place where New Beat was born and since the Cherry Moon was
not far from the Boccaccio I started going there.
But from the first time I was in the Cherry Moon I knew that
this place would be 'the' place to be in a few months, and
I was right.
After some weeks more and more people came to there, people
who I've seen every week in the Boccaccio and so on.
After 1, 2 months Bonzai was born and since the boss of
Bonzai 'The Fly' was dj in the Cherry Moon it was the place
to be, kinda like the Warehouse in Germany. Every week more
and more people came to there, even from abroad Belgium,
France, The Netherlands...
But like every good club who atract lots of people from
everywhere and stays open till 10.00 or later, it has to
close his doors. The people knew that they would close it in
a few weeks and the last weeks before the closing were
really insane, to many people. There were lots of times that
you have to wait more then 30mins to get in and once in it
was almost impossible to stay there for more then 2 houres
without fresh air. It has been closed for 6 months. Since
the home Dj 'The Fly' had no local club anymore he started
playing in 'The Extreme' a new club in Belgium who has been
the new party place for 6 months. After the Cherry Moon was
back open (first day had more then 5.000 ravers!) they
started with some really great parties, with dj's and live
act's like Dave Angel, Robert Armani, Leo Annibaldi,
Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Daz Saund, Marusha, Dick,
Hardfloor, PCP, Union Jack, Oliver Bondzio, Roland Casper,
Franky Jones and the list continues.
It was even better then before, more proffesional if you ask
me, not the normal club nights anymore with every week the
same dj's, but more variation like it use to be.
The Fly stayed playing in The Extreme and they had a new
local Dj, Yves Deruyter.
Sound System: Good, maybe a little bit to loud, but i
think it's everywhere a bit to loud
Light System: Also very good
- Multi Color Lasers
- Strobos (sometimes even blue ones)
- Multi Color Spots
- Normal Spots
- Smoke Cannons
- Flashing Black Lights
- And some other stuff
The Place: The Cherry Moon can handle around the
2.000 ppl.
It's pretty big and it has only 1 floor where
they play Hardcore/Hardtrance, I really miss
a Trance floor here. The entrance is 200Bf,
that's around 6 Dollars. It's open on Fridays
and Saturdays (sometimes on sunday to) from
22.00Pm and they must close their doors
at 05.00Am.
Resident Dj's: Yves De Ruyter (The House Of House)
Stefaan (Kaos)
Franky (Cherry Moon)

Ik hoop van niet,heb daar echt een hekel aan.

Een cherry moon party moet in cherry zelf te doen zijn,niet in antwerpen of weet ik veel waar.
