In the club scene of Second Life it’s hard to find one that
stands out in the thousands on the grid. One does simply by its design and the
name reference. "Heart of Gold" created by Ezrin Sabre and Saros Eclipse is a
cozy club made for furries, but of course humans and anyone else are also
welcome. Heart of Gold has been around for a year and half and it’s still going
strong.
Saros also owns an
anime series called Hi No Tori which in Japanese translates to firebird or bird
of fire. Ezrin told me that the series is about (surprise) a phoenix or
firebird that travels the universe and teach various lessons to people. The
ship itself is also a starship shaped very much like a bird with fiery feathers
but also with a mechanical steampunk look. The dance floor itself is clear so
you can look down below in the inside of the star ship. The starship itself is also set in outer space where the Heart of Gold/fire bird travels through. The graphics are wonderful as you
dance or hang out the upper deck as the ship travels slowly. It seems like
you’re actually in outer space but not inky blackness but a colorful
environment that seems like nebulae in an explosion of color.
Saros built the club herself as it helps her relax and Ezrin
says the original club him and her owned was called Ari-Sen which had a big
mushroom in the middle of it. When they moved to a sim with a naughty name, they
put the human clubs out of business as they drew in a consistent crowd. DJ
Aurora Avila was one of the djs at Ari-Sen until she moved on to AX (also known
as Anthroxtacy).
Heart of Gold is active at night when their dj/s come out to
play for a small but growing crowd that comes to hear live dj sets.
Amurtigeress Korobase, a griffin dj, plays a wide variety of music from trance to
movie theme music and various other genres as she is also the head dj at Heart
of Gold. She djs Tuesday and Thursday 6-10 SL time and every other Friday 6-9
SL time. Sylys Sable a friend of mine also djs here.
I also like Heart of Gold as they were the first club to
hire me as a dj in Second life. A club turned me down having no dj experience
so I went to Heart of Gold instead and Ezrin and Amurtigress hired me right
away wanting to hear what I played. I play a mix of dance music mixed in with
video game remixes aimed at the dance floor. I dj Monday night 5-8 SL time and
also 3-6 SL time on Wedsday night before Ezrin on the same night. The same
night I wrote this article I held a contest that whenever I played a life force
or mega man themed remix then someone tell me through IM or main chat and that
person won a dj mix I just made that day. Hoppy and Zzri both won a dj mix from
me for iming me when a megaman song played.
You want to see an amazing club and hear great music? Heart
of gold is a great place to hang out with your friends and or dance the night
away while you get lost in space.
