City Hall's haunted Halloween

Halloween parties are usually thrown at a house or at a night club, but the problem with these venues is that they are not very spooky. Now, throw one of these parties in a building (which is rumoured to be haunted) that is over 100 years old, along with a line-up of terrifyingly talented DJs, and you have got The Haunting of City Hall 2011 - a party hosted by Griet, which took place this Halloween weekend.

I arrived at City Hall to a gruesome sight of ghouls, zombie nurses, werewolves, vampires and many other monstrosities. The entrance was decked out with cobwebs and dim, eerie lights, making it appear like a bone-chilling set from a classic horror movie. I ventured up the stairs, down a dark passage and suddenly found myself in the middle of a tasty dubstep set being played to a packed room full of the masked, head-banging undead.

Having met up with the other Biz Lounge crew somewhere on the dance floor, we went exploring around the haunted chambers of City Hall and walked straight into another dance floor - this time with Haezer, who was throwing down an energetic electro set to a swarming mass of apparitions.

A few drinks and a photoshoot later (courtesy of Griet), we were welcomed by the dreadlocked warrior Niskerone, with his fresh drum and bass beats, which ensured we left the night on a high.
