The Vegas Boys promised it all and we almost got it

The magnificent Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) venue was the backdrop again for the second party in the history of Castaway on August 16 with headlining DJs Marcello Castelli from Uruguay, Kevin Shiu from Canada.
3000 people plus packed into the two tiered arena for the party of their lives and I don’t think they were let down.

The international DJ line up was impressive with shining Melbourne lights, Jason Digby, Tony Crea, Paul Etheridge and Donni1 providing the backbone to the night and star internationals Castelli and Shiu providing the glitter. Shiu plastered a great set of House that had the place alive and kicking while Castelli’s set of Tribal was fun but left a few people in the outer. At one point we went to catch a bit of Tony Crea’s House in the VIP upper deck just to get our feet tapping again. And we did, successfully.

Castaway is a fantastic concept and a dream that is fulfilled by a handful of faithfuls. This year’s didn’t have the same lights bouncing across the limestone walls of the previous year (the reason why they won the prize in the Beat 2003 Awards) but it did have a hellova lot people turn up. It was a big night and capped off a big long weekend in Bali and all the people who helped put it on will go down as da men. Without doubt The Vegas Boys will be back, bigger and better, next year with a load more in store for our longest weekend of the year. SS.
