26/04/14: We’ve got the T-shirt, we’ve downloaded the app and, with newly extended opening hours, we seized the opportunity to party through ‘til 8am as XXL raised the roof on Pulse with a rockin’ ‘St George’s Day’ blast last weekend.
Featuring five futuristic arches of decadent delights, promoter Mark Ames and his posse packed in a rampaging crowd yet again for hirsute happenings and more at one of the hottest homo-haunts in town.
Hulking hi-jinks on the dancefloor saw resident deck star, Christian M, working the masses into a frenzy for rampant disco remix-action beneath a sea of St George Cross flags in homage to England’s patron saint.
Next door and top DJ daddy, Joe Egg, opened his back-pack of pop grooves for a stonking session that had chart-lovin’ boyz bumpin’ and grindin’ through ‘til closing time.
Elsewhere, the always-popular XXL darkroom saw more through-traffic than Croydon IKEA on a bank holiday, whilst the laid-back lounge terrace absorbed the overspill for no-end of sociable shenanigans.
Meanwhile, there was still plenty more to come with DJ turns from the likes of Alex Logan and Mark Ames as the hairy hordes kept the action going through ‘til the very last. Get ready for arresting antics as the guys return with an ‘XXL Cop’ spectacular this Saturday!
