After last week’s journey to the Middle East, it was great to be back in Orlando. We began our Friday night at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, a Marriott Autograph Collection<\/em> hotel downtown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And out to their pool deck where CigarFest <\/em>was already in progress upon our arrival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Andre Mack (USA) was on the decks during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music was 80’s Funk & 90’s Classics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They have a large outdoor bar up here and it was jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time meeting Andre Mack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Great vibe but unfortunately this won’t<\/span> be a weekly event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Last night was opening night for new club Proper<\/em>. They don’t have a sign yet so we had to make due with logo on the back of a bar staff tee-shirt.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Right at the entrance, the front bar greets visitors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While this much-larger back bar can be found aft. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music delivered by DJ Blacksuede66 (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Proper<\/em>‘s niche is DJ-delivered music all off vinyl.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s a large selection of albums behind the booth but of course the DJ can bring his\/her own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music last night bounced back-and-forth between House and 70’s Disco. It was really good!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Talk about top shelf liquor!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The waitress staff wore pleather miniskirts, pleather pants or pleather short shorts. The common denominator was: pleather.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For our younger readers, those round things are called “records”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Proper <\/em>is upscale but not expensive. My Tito’s<\/em> & Tonic was $10 and then they add a mandatory 5% service charge and 17% gratuity to that. Total was $12.85. Not too bad. Different DJ’s on different nights. Come check it out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We try to spread-out our business but when one venue has great DJ’s week-after-week, you have to keep visiting! So here we were back at Iron Cow<\/em>…..again!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to get past Door Hostess Stephanie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ AK1200 (USA) was in the booth when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music extremely fast-paced Drum & Bass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had the dance floor in a frenzy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Club Promoter Jeff Kenney has labeled AK1200 “The G.O.A.T.” of DnB: “Greatest of All Time”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DnB, sometimes you need some direction and last night that narrative was provided by MC Collaborator (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in the booth: MC Collaborator, AK1200 and DJ Circle K (USA) who had played earlier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into so many people we know!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: DJ Tooltime (USA) with the aforementioned Jeff Kenney.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Oh wow, this picture reminds me. DO NOT make any plans for Sunday, September 3rd; the Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. Keep that date open! If you live out-of-state, book your air to Orlando like right now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then around 12:30AM, there he was…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The DnB legend…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ LTJ Bukem (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor frenzy continued!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We last saw LTJ Bukem play Orlando in May, 2021 at Ace Cafe<\/em>. LINK<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> was as crowded last night as we’ve ever witnessed it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
High Top sneakers for the win!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The 90’s are back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Miguel Migs (USA) plays House here at the Cow <\/em>on June 2nd, another do-not-miss event. You can get advance tickets here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
