I arrived at 12 am. Didn't expect the door to be swarmed so early but it was. The nice door girl from Link recognized me and got me in quick. It was packed. The people didn't look like they were there for Magda. Seemed like they were there just to be at the new hot venue in Miami. Not a douchebag fake showoff crowd like I expected. Everyone was mostly cool and respectful.
Venue:
Overall the venue is good. Lighting was on point and pretty over the top to some degree with about 50-100 moving heads. I've never seen so much staff at a venue. Staff was mostly keeping traffic from bottlenecking in stairs and entrances/exits. So many sweepers too. They kept the dance floor spotless all night long. Around 4am they dumped large pieces of confetti. The dance floor was covered and I was sure it would be a mess the rest of the night. In no time at all the sweeper guys cleared every last piece. It was crazy. It was like Disney theme parks clean.
My only complaint about the venue is the sound which was average. Not sure why they used Infinity Speakers in the club. Infinity is not known for Pro Audio and there's a reason. It sounded decent only in the center of the dance floor. I stayed in the sweet spot most of the night. They need to get some Dynacords or 8th Day Sound. People say Funktion One is best, but I have yet to hear a Funktion One system that sounds awesome. Doesn't sound right at Mansion.
Music:
Catz and Dogz played a great opener set. Magda wasn't that great. She played pretty dark techno with little or no vocals. It wasn't bad, but I'm surprised people didn't clear the dance floor. The dance floor was full until close.
Still curious to see how long they'll bring quality djs to this venue.
