MUMBAI: Bringing some good news to dance music lovers all around the world, a new virtual reality party experience will transport partygoers from their homes into Germany’s #1 club. Bootshaus have launched a virtual version of their world-famous venue and long-term partners Desperados and elrow will kick-off a series of big guests, massive takeovers and some powerful interactive functionality to bring the party to your home in collaboration with virtual live events company Sansar. On Saturday, November 28th, the latest elrow Show powered by Desperados will immerse partygoers in the surreal universe of urban artist Okuda San Miguel and his ‘Kaos Garden’ concept, bringing the space to life through a combination of bright colours and geometric shapes for a virtual party experience like no other. Guests globally can enter the space and customise their personal avatars before seeing the virtual experience come to life – from tuning into the epic track selection from Spanish techno DJs Paco Osuna, Andres Campo and Fer BR, to mingling with others, and even enjoying their own ice-cold Desperados at the bar. The layout of the club’s main room and outdoor areas have been precisely replicated in this virtual environment, which can be experienced in full via the Sansar platform using a VR headset and a Windows PC with a dedicated graphics card. The live streams can also be enjoyed via Youtube and Twitch without a VR headset, or via the Sansar app on iPhone or Android (featuring multiple camera angles of the DJ). Fabian Thylmann, Owner Bootshaus said, “We’re excited to share this VR experience for the international dance music community to enjoy. It's a project we’ve been working on for a long time and releasing it now feels more important than ever. The VR project once again sees Bootshaus at the forefront of the industry and it’s an honour to team up with some of the industry’s key players to deliver a stellar collection of events that can be experienced from homes globally.”
