Luke Fair live at INTIMATE & ON THE BOAT Summer Reunion part 1 - August 13, 2016 by bringthebeats

A little rain can’t keep our good times away… It was the third time in four tries it’s rained for an INTIMATE & ON THE BOAT aboard the Tall Ship Kajama and once again the music and bringthebeats vibe overshadowed the overcast skies. It really was never in doubt with Luke Fair and Cesar Caballero spinning under the sails.

The party was absolutely trending toward a sell out, but the weather forecast for August 13th looked menacing for 14-straight days. At no point did it ever let up, causing our tickets sales to slow to only a fraction of what they usually are in the days leading up to a party.

Of course, it’s disappointing not to have the entire crew on board, but there’s always something special about a rainy day party that people who are afraid of a little water continually miss out on. We find people work harder to have a good time when they’re a little wet and trapped on the lake. With a “we’re all in this together” attitude, people’s inhibitions are left on shore and everyone dances like nobody’s watching.

Luke Fair definitely felt it. He said it was his favourite bringthebeats cruise so far and that’s saying a lot since the sun was shining bright for last year’s INTIMATE & ON THE BOAT. With the sails down the sound’s a lot tighter and the lighting achieves maximum effect, as you can see by the blue haze in the later night pics. And most of all, that feeling of togetherness is priceless.

It’s comforting to know that whatever the conditions, we can make good times happen. It’s a total team effort and that’s certainly led by the people we employ in the booth. We could be in a full-on blizzard and Luke Fair could still warm the floor. No matter how much time he takes off, he always steps up blows minds. Make no mistake, he works hard to do what he can do, but the talent is natural and plentiful.

Thanks to everyone who supported our Summer Reunion once again this year. Your dedication is what keeps us grooving. That and these incredible tunes, of course.
