THE DO-OVER PARTY AT STRELKA

The Russian translation for “party” implies that parties happen only in the evenings or at night, which is so limiting! For example, the famous Los Angeles sessions called The Do-Over always take place during the day, the guests bathing in natural light and sunshine; in fact, that’s the party’s major gimmick. The Moscow version of The Do-Over was considered by many to be the best party of summer 2013; it took place on the next day after the Afisha Picnic outside the Strelka Institute, and everyone danced and partied away like there was no tomorrow. The DJ set by Great Britain’s Benji B and some awesome freestyling by Aloe Blacc (he had just performed for Afisha the day before) were to die for. Luckily, though, everyone stayed more than alive!
