Over the 2014 summer, the V&A Waterfront’s exclusive Shimmy Beach Club is bringing a touch of Mediterranean nightlife to the Mother City. The premier oceanfront venue is throwing a series of parties under the banner Shimmy Anthems every Friday evening until February 2015, and the sultry jamborees have all the makings of an Ibiza-style soirée: think seductive deep house beats, the feel of soft sand on bare feet, the scent of sea and sunscreen on skin flushed from dancing and the sight of hundreds of stars up above peering down on the tropical after-dark revelry below.
Every ‘volume’ of the nine-week party series will get the weekend going with grooves by a handful of prominent DJs, some hailing from international lands (like the beautiful Sammi Morales from Sweden and long-time Ibiza resident Camilo Franco) and others from South Africa’s shores (think Chris Taylor, DJ Sox, Branny B and Deztract). Each deck master has their own personal style, but all will treat audiophiles to smooth, soulful deep house tracks to keep the ambience easygoing and the vibe summery and beach-y.
Speaking of which, most of the action happens on the private beach of the swanky club, which sits on the edge of Cape Town’s working harbour overlooking the cool Atlantic waters. The decked-out hydraulic stage rests right on this stretch of white sand, so revelers can bob and sway freely like they’re on an island holiday.
In addition to putting forth infectious music, the one-of-a-kind venue, which comes complete with an expansive deck with an infinity pool, multiple bars, VIP lounges and more, is also running Friday night drink specials on Grolsch or Peroni (these brands are official partners of the events) and serving up an assortment of light snacks, including dim sum, sushi, pizza and seafood platters. The whole package is enough sustenance to keep party-goers going until the first blush of morning, when the sun’s rays start peeping over the horizon, signalling the start of yet another sublime Mediterranean day in the Mother City.
