The atmosphere on Saturday night at The Star’s famous Marquee nightclub was so spicy, you could almost taste it. There was no mistaking that the world’s most famous basketballer-turned-headliner DJ was in town.

It kicked off with club resident 15Grams pumping a dance mix which hyped the sold-out crowd as the excitement built. Clearly this event was for the who’s-who; heavily guarded VIP sections with iced-out patronage pouring magnums with their entourage showed this was not just any exclusive party. This was a party for the exclusive.

About 1:15am Shaq drops in to Luude starting us off with one for the Aussies, and delivering an hour of non-stop anthems, from Queen to ISOexo, to Nirvana, and of course Shack West. His set was undeniably huge. The strobes and the CO2 cannons were turned up to 11 and the audience were hanging on every drop. This rockstar knew exactly how to deliver a turnt performance and there was no doubt we were all left wanting more. Check out the gallery above for all the highlights.
