With darkened room after darkened room of dancing pridegoers and a fairground separating the Federation arena from the rest of the party, the tenth anniversary party for Uni Challenge was very, very good.

We're pretty sure we didn't make it around the whole place, but managed to find Gaydio and Organic partying in one of the top rooms, the Federation arena (obviously!), and we caught a bit of Paul Heron's set in the Revolver room too.

The brave took to the skies on the various fairground rides and (just about) lived to tell the tale, and the rest of us... well - we got downright sweaty dancing our poor little feet off for hours on end!

Being greeted by an electric string quartet on arrival was a very nice touch - and the four girls took up positions on the stage later in the night for a live remix of Robert Miles' trance track Children which went down an absolute storm. Gorgeousness!

loved it!
