Now that weeks of drought have gotten everyone hot and sweaty, it's about
time for the summer's first massive beach rave. It comes from an assembly of
local Taipei DJs who - with the possible exception of April's Spring Scream
weekend - are emerging from a winter spent in black-lit dance clubs. The
party is called La La Pa and it happens at Wanli Seaside Resort
(萬里海水浴場) tomorrow from 3pm until sometime around 9am on Sunday.
DJs for the party have been drawn from most of Taipei's major clubs,
including Blueman (Texound), David Jr (Rock Candy), Victor and @llen. It's
almost like some sort of coalition for the promotion of better living
through glowsticks. The above will all play at the main dance area on the
beach, where the music will go from 10pm to 7:30am. Affording relief from
the elements as well as the morning glare, there will be an indoor lounge
featuring music from DJs Linchiang(林強), Nina and others from 9pm to 9am.
The venue itself is a pay beach on the northeast coast about 7km north of
Keelung. Events during the day tomorrow include hip hop DJs and extreme
sports displays, which are possibly grouped together because the people
involved all wear the same kinds of clothes. For transportation, there will
be free buses from Taipei, departing tomorrow every 40 minutes from noon to
midnight from in front of the United Daily Building (聯合報大樓), located on
Chunghsiao E. Rd. near the corner of Keelung Rd. Admission is NT$800 at the
door or NT$600 in advance. Advance tickets are available at Tower Records.
