Friday night in Orlando and checking out some clubs. Beginning the evening at new club Proper<\/em>. It opened in April in the spot previously occupied by Vyce<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Blacksuede (USA) was in the booth covering the early shift.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Proper<\/em>‘s music niche is that all the music is played off vinyl. The booth contains an extensive number of platters and of course the DJ’s bring their own stuff too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even at this early hour, most of the club’s seating booths were occupied and the dance floor was busy as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A lot of the music had a Disco or Chill House vibe to it and the volume got cranked-up a bit at 10:30PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Talk about top shelf liquor, wow! Except for special events, admission at Proper <\/em>is free so come check it out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
By now you know that Barbarella <\/em>relocated from downtown Orlando to the warehouse district off John Young Parkway. They’re open only on Saturday nights for New Wave & Alternative but on the second Friday of each month, they also open for “Memento Mori”, their darker music format.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Memento Mori” resident DJ Lavidicus (USA) was in the booth delivering the tunes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music mostly Industrial during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Wear your favorite color when you come to “Memento Mori”, as long as your favorite color is black!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A lot of the selections last night included vocals including one song completely in German. Fun times at Barbarella<\/em>. Admission is free so come check it out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The front of the building says only “Sticky Rice” but if you go around back and go upstairs, you’ll find dance club Bikkuri Lounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Last night was “Lost In Trancelation”, the long-running series of Trance shows. We found DJ Suzy Solar (USA) in the booth when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Loved her set!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Decent-sized crowd in the club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bikkuri <\/em>is home to this famous color-changing light wall. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then, there he was, the headliner…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Ben Gold (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would play a lot of selections with vocals too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First time seeing Ben Gold since he played on the Neon Garden Stage<\/em> at EDC-Orlando<\/em> back in 2015 as seen above in this archive photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
