Bigfish presents SummerNRG featuring Ferry Corsten in Boracay 2011

For years, Slinky has prevailed on the party island. This year, SummerNRG returns to present one of my favourite Trance acts, Ferry Corsten alongside with two grand house acts - ZooBrazil, and housexy!

Boracay is one helluva party island. It may not come close to Ibiza in terms of the acts the come, spin, party, and go but it does compensate in so many other ways.

This recent (un)Holy Week Boracay trip with my crazy friends has been one of the best. This was when we were the most number. And definitely the best Bigfish island party to date - one for the books.

Around 3 am, just as I have entered the mini beach front venue comes Ferry with wifey Joy donning their smiles on the decks. It was hotter and more humid as the tent sides were lifted higher. The venue was more dense compared to last year. Anticipating such atmosphere, I brought with me my ever-reliable abaniko.  I made new friends because of this abaniko -- it was so hot, everyone was sweating and a relief of a cool wind flapped by my fanning drew people by my side. Smiles were flashing, pictures we were taking, and soon we were all dancing in the tune of the F man himself. This feeling of revelry lasted til the sun came up, til the island police were already demanding to wrap-up the event, to the point where power was already cut off. But the enthusiasm and love for trance and Ferry's tunes will not be thwarted by these antics from the police. We still marched on until we have summoned the morning sun shining on the other side of the island.
