and world-class music scene, gained an incredible new acquisition in
2008. AREA 51, with it’s immense Funktion One sound system,
unique layout and décor, and a future line up list that would make
any of its rival clubs weep (Mr. C, Hot Chip, M.A.N.D.Y and Jesse
Rose to name a few) is heading into 2009 with its sights set high.
Prepare to be taken on a journey through techno, electro and every
kind of house you could imagine, and the biggest promotions and
international artists around elbowing each other off the decks. Easing
you into this monumental year is the first February weekend…
