Sound Tripping in a Cocoon
by Cassandra Romjin
Frankfurt, Germany is not really one of the top ten cities in the planet that would instantly come to mind when one mentions the word “nightclub”. But unknown to some, this German city of ours is home to one of the world’s best nightclubs ever.
Whether you are German or not, as long as you are a fan of dance music and clubbing, then you must definitely known who Sven Väth is. If you don’t, well then Sven Väth is no one really, just the best and most celebrated DJ in all of Germany. You can be clubbing in Berlin or in some obscure part of the country but you must and you should known Sven Väth and his music.
But enough of the Sven Väth worshiping. Aside from being the best DJ there is in Germany, Sven is also the owner of a fantastic, awe-inspiring, incredibly amazing nightclub in Frankfurt called the Cocoon Club.
This almost 30,000 square feet club features a mind boggling, uber cool décor that would leave even the most choosy of clubbers at their knees. Everything from the laser light shows, futuristic VIP section, glowing podium, ultra modern cocoon pod-like spaces, and honeycombed walls shout fabulous and inventive. It is also tremendously spacious, so spacious in fact that the place has three bars.
But the Cocoon Club’s most interesting feature would have to be its sound system. Since Sven Väth is the genius behind the club, he made sure the entire place is perfect for playing music. The walls, ceilings, layout and furniture placement was all determined with the main objective of improving the sound system. And of course, they also brought in all the high tech technologies and even customized sound system gadgets to be able to produce high quality music.
The only thing I am not at all contented about with regards to this nightclub is the fact that it is only open on Fridays and Saturdays which leaves me missing the fun and excitement during the other 5 days of the week. So the next time you visit Frankfurt, especially if its a Friday or a Saturday, you might just want to skip the opera or the ballet and head down to the Cocoon Club instead for a party you would never forget orchestrated by the clubbing master himself, Sven Väth!
