September is done and we have reached the final furlong of summer.
By now, it's noticeably cooler in the evenings and through the night. Which is just as well, since the dancefloors are raging like a furnace. Even though the resorts, roads, beaches and restaurants are a lot quieter than a few weeks ago, the parties have been taken to another level.
That continues just beyond the first fortnight of October, as the clubs and last remaining residencies wrap up their summer programmes.
The clubbers are here.

October
The end is in sight.
DJs, promoters and the clubs themselves are gearing for one last blow out. Perhaps this is most obvious in the attitude. Everybody is a little more relaxed and feels like they can enjoy themselves that bit more, but equally has the sense that the summer needs to go out on a bang.
Track selections get more daring, dancefloors get more receptive and even the security staff start letting their hair down. And the parties, well, this is the time of year when they hit fifth gear.
After slogging away since early April, we'll certainly be mixing work with play over the coming weeks. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a dancefloor together. Let's go!
