Club Report: wtr (Tampa) By King Bob in Club Reports July 1, 2024 We were invited to attend an outdoor pool party over at WTR Tampa and since DJ Borgeous would be playing, we couldn’t say no. Arriving around 1PM, there was a queue already forming at the entrance. The July concert schedule was not posted yet but we got to see all the June artists who had played here including today’s headliner, Borgeous! The stage is located on the far side of the pool. The opening set from resident DJ Gemini (USA). His set pretty much all EDM. It was an great set to hear on this Sunday afternoon. This is a pool party and this large swimming pool occupies much of the WTR space. While Tampa Bay occupies the rear side of the property with a great view of St. Petersburg off in the distance. There’s been significant changes here since our last visit in 2014 when this venue was called Hulk Hogan’s Beach Resort and we came here to see DJ Baby Anne (USA). Party in VIP! They say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls. Well damn, they were right! Activity slowly picking up. Around 2:30PM, shift change with DJ Chino (USA) taking over. DJ Chino is based in Orlando and he delivered a great House set. Spotted in the DJ booth: Dre N Shane Chino had he pool bouncing! Of course it is summer in Florida so it was just a matter of time before storms rolled-in. For awhile it was necessary to work from under a tarp. LOL. Staying on message. And then, there he was! The headliner…..DJ Borgeous (USA) Originally from Orlando, Borgeous is now based in Las Vegas. And we hadn’t seen him live since his show at Gilt Concert Venue in Orlando back in 2019. Everyone out of the pool to begin dancing and singing-along! You can’t tell in this photo that it was pouring out there but no one was going to miss a Borgeous set! All-EDM had the club bouncing! Spotted backstage: Suzanne with friend. Spotted in the pool: Meteorologist Samara from CBS affilliate WKMG-TV Orlando, channel 6. Spray down! Borgeous was quite animated and vocal all set as he played one EDM banger after another including from his own catalog of hits! Dropping one of his biggest “Tsunami” on the crowd, a collaboration song with DJ duo DVBBS (CDN). A little rain didn’t spoil anyone’s fun and a good time was had by all.
