HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY 2004 TO ALL SECRET AGENTS!!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

After taking a short break during the festive season the Secret location is back in 2004 with a big year planned ahead!

Here’s a hint of what we have in store for you this year! (not in order)

 

1) The much anticipated Beach Resort Party which will be a full 24hr non-stop dj session under the sunshine, on the beach, by the poolside, under the moonlight, by the fire until your hearts desire…!!  A lot of planning and setting up will be involved in this one and the rumour has it that it will be held in May!!!

 

2) Limited Edition releases of official mixed cd compilation by the Secret location. The first compilation is already earmarked for a 6th Feb release titled “Chilled Locations”. Featuring atmospheric soundscapes to jazzy modern tales, a must have for those astute chillout music lovers outthere!  Click here for more details!

 

3) Revamping of this website to give it a fresher look! www.secretlocationfiji.com has already been registered and linked to this present site. Its just a matter of time until the new site is up and running!

 

4) Chillout/Lounge/Ambient/Leftfield/Downtempo/Laidback, ..sounds familiar and like that genre of music? Then this year you’ll be up for a few special Chillout events organised by Secret location at some of the finest lounges around Suva and Nadi where you could leave your worries at the door and relax and unwind yourself while the dj’s spin tunes that would move right through you and give you a total body massage without anybody even touching you..!! ;))

 

5) And of cause, without a doubt, our usual Secret location parties at some of the different locations around which would move you though the system!! House, Progressive, Breaks, Funk, Techno and Trance..!!!

 

We may also throw in a few little things in between to keep the spices flowing…

 See you all soon at the next event!!

 

Cheers!

Secret locationPRESENTS OPEN LOCATION

DATE: FRIDAY,19-12-2003

VenuE: VOODOO LOUNGE

TIME: 8:00PM 1:30PM

 

Yes folks, we are back to rock you this festive season again!! Due to popular demand Secret location will be show casting yet another quality dance music line-up at the original VOODOO LOUNGE venue. Be prepared for the fresh onslaught. And this time around we are giving opportunity for members and non-members alike to come and experience the event for themselves and get a taste of 100% prime lean mean dance music cuisine with the compliments of the Secret location team!

 

For all you new folks outhere, VOODOO LOUNGE is located 4 floors upstairs in Cumming Street, Suva opposite Lords Jewellers and right next to Harrison’s Unusual Casuals Store. Overlooking the awesome Suva City view like no other.

However, last time some of our members got a bit confused between Voodoo Lounge and Diamonds Nightclub since both are right next to each other. So please do not get confused, Voodoo Lounge is the correct place and Diamonds Nightclub is NOT!  Regardless, but please make a note of this number to call us on the night if you are still unsure – 9264379.

Now, if you know a friend or a foe who may be interested in dance music then bring ‘em along and experience the underground scene of Fiji …..

ONLY with  Secret location.

 See you there….

FREQUENCY LOUNGE (NADI) - REVIEW

 

A brand new joint that’s freshly opened up in the jet set town Nadi. Located between the Bounty Restaurant and Dominion International Hotel, Frequency Lounge has definitely set new standards for other restaurants/pub/clubs/bars in Fiji to look at!

We were lucky enough to experience it ourselves for the first time about two weeks ago during the game between Fiji-Scotland.

The layout, color scheme and the lights make you feel as you were someplace else and NOT in Fiji. But if that is something to go by then wait till you view Fatboy Slim’s Beach Boutique 2 DVD on their cinema sized projector screen! That will definitely blow your mind away!

We had an opportunity to view their slick dj booth that would make any seasoned dj want to get up there and rock the house down!

Top of the range Pioneer Dj System definitely had me thirsty for it. ;-)) but my thirst was later taken care of by their efficient bar service. And later food!, we had serving of their Pizzas and Pasta , the quality of the food was simply excellent.!

Later during the night, to top it all off, they had some quality dance music pumping through their powerful sound system while everyone enjoyed their drinks at the bar and projector screen was streaming away Paul Van Dyk’s brand new DVD. ….WOW, that was one great experience for sure!

But that’s not it folks…. we managed to sneak into their VIP Lounge which was an absolute bliss!!!

HA! Now that’s something we’ll leave it for you lil kiddies to experience it for yourselves!! So, if you in Nadi or going to be in Nadi anytime soon, then make sure you check out Frequency Lounge and see it for your yourself what all the buzz is about!!   

……. And we’d like to thank Hiren (aka Ivor) from Frequency Lounge for looking after us that night and also Secret Location is proud to him on its team lineup to enhance our mission of dance music even further!

SECRET LOCATION_02 -  THE POST-MORTEM REVIEW

 

Now that the dust has settled down @ The Lighthouse from last Saturday nights assault by the Secret location members and their Dj’s.  It is time for the Secret location organising team to settle down and hibernate during this upcoming festive season. The next one (next year) is planned to be THE big one but we aint telling you nuffin yet….

 

HOWEVER, A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL MEMBERS & GUESTS WHO MADE IT LAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND LITERALLY ROCKED THE VENUE ON THE LATER NIGHT SETS!!!!

 

Also a HUGE Thank Yooos!! to the Secret location Dj’s who are in it for the love and passion of dance music promotion in this country.

Special Thank You to George who set the atmosphere straight with his trademark deep/groovy vocal house on his early set during the sundown!! A pure quality set with the turntables spinnin them records, his vast experience in dj’ing was surely evident!

Then Nickweed took control of the cdj’s and this time with more moody chilled, jazzy, downbeat tunes from the unknown grounds to pave the way for our guest Dj Rocky, who continued with mellow house and later with a bit more uplifting side of things.

 

 From 9:30pm onwards, Sacha set the motion right with some deep, dark underground progressive house/breaks that set the mood right for the members to prepare themselves to be ambushed by Dj Fong-K, who got the crowd shaking them booty non-stop on the dancefloor! His music production skills were evident during his set when he sampled the ‘Secrect Location’ voice overs that turned every head towards the Dj’s corner. 

 

Then at 11:30pm, KRS took the crowd to a different level with some quality deep and hard vocal progressive house tunes that got the crowd shaking it up even more! The nights peak hour was later taken control by Art”ish with his trademark hard-driving techno/trance beats that got them all to put their hands up in the air like they just didn’t care!!!    

 

The two Dj’s whose presence was surely missed was Josh and Ivor who rocked the crowd during Secret location_01 but this time around they couldn’t make it due to work commitments.

 

However, we have some great pictures to load up on this site and also a special 30 sec clip of George spinning the decks during the sundown! That shot is simply amazing, keep checking this page during the week.

Venue details

 

The Lighthouse……..

Situated on Queen Elizabeth Drive at Suva Point opposite the Suva Grammar grounds!

 

The Lighthouse has been chosen as the second venue for Secret Location.         

Perfectly situated at the Suva Point, overlooking the sea horizon and mountainous region, The Lighthouse fulfils as an ideal place to be at during that gorgeous sunset that Suva Point is very well known for.

Therefore we have initiated our Dj’s to quick-start a bit early this time around to catch that glorious bright yellow sunset while spinning to some ambient chilled out beats!  Therefore make sure that you be there early at 5pm on the day to experience it for yourself.

Check out our Dj-Lineup on the day for more information.

(Let’s just hope that the heavens stay put on the day, don’t want that typical Suva weather to rear its ugly head!!)

 

And remember, this time it’s a going to be a full 8 hour set, starting from dusk till past midnight. The Lighthouse would be an ideal place for you to eat & snack out that night! The advantage with The Lighthouse is that they also serve meals, snacks & finger foodsl! Here is just a basic outlay of what they have on offer; Sushi, Sashimi, Steak, Chicken & Chips, Fish & Chips, Fish fingers, Sausage rolls, spring rolls, sausage chasers, and more. So folks, isn’t this ideal, enjoying the Suva point breeze and picture perfect view while listening to good quality dance music, sipping away your drinks and nibbling to those hot chips! Yeah…it’s definitely a first for Fiji

 

So people, we look forward to seeing you all on the 8h and be there early as you can to catch that sunset.

Till then, if you have any further questions then please email us or call us on 9966105.

 Make a note of this mobile number if you need any urgent assistance on the night.

See you then!

Cheers!

TRAPS REVIEW

Tired of listening to those crappy R&B and other commercial shite in the clubs on your usual Saturday nightouts?!?? Well, we recommend that you check out Traps upstairs Lounge Bar every Saturday nights (except on a Secret Location night of cause ;-) )

There you’ll be served with some phat chunky quality house music every Saturday nights! Their new resident Dj George who has a vast amount of experience spinning them records will keep you tapping onya toes all night and if that’s not enough then you’ll could be on the dance floor later in the evening.

Traps has been a big supporter of the introduction of Dance Music culture to the Fiji Scene. Having hosted some big local dance music events such as Deliverance, Kryptonite and having hosted a number of international Dj’s  such as Dean Millson, Tim Boffa, Dj Felix, Dimitri from Paris, Dj Marco, Baby Gee and many others. It shows the true commitment and open mindedness that the management of Traps have towards introducing the dance music culture.

And Secret Location is glad to have Josh from Traps on its team lineup to enhance this mission even further.

INTRO

Hi Folks, this is a new section that we have added, where we shall add any news and updates related to Secret Location, so keep checking this page frequently to stay informed on what’s the latest.

 

REGISTERATIONS

First up, well as you may have read already, that we have temporarily closed off any further new registrations and give ‘more’ power to our existing members. All you guys/gals on our list can now nominate to bring in your guest to any one of our events. However, since your guest is not a registered member therefore they would be liable to pay a measly $5 to get in.

Meanwhile, the registered members will already have their names enlisted at the door hence you lucky buggas can just get in without a prob. However, we suggest you keep handy with you some sort of an ID just in case our highly FBI trained staff at the door wishes to ask you for one. (its only fair, cause you don’t want another person to get in using your name!!)

 

SECRET LOCATIONS_02

The latest news is that its going to be held on 8th November!! Yes, we’ve deliberately held it during the Rugby World Cup!! ;-)

But the location is still a secret locked behind closed doors….

 

 

Well that’s all for today, will be back soon with more news/updates.
