\"\"
It’s Gasparilla <\/em>weekend over in Tampa and following their famous pirate boat parade, it was time for Shipwrecked Music Festival <\/em>taking place at The Cuban Club<\/em> in historic Ybor City.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This year they expanded into the adjacent parking lot to facilitate entry and allow more room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
New this year too is the VIP area only takes up half the stage at the barrier with General Admission getting the other half. During our previous visits to Shipwrecked<\/em>, VIP got the entire upfront area with GA standing behind. Under this format, there’s not a lot of reasons to pay the more expensive VIP price.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With the expansion into the parking lot, the Vendor Village is removed to out here with only a few vendors remaining in their previous area near the main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The festival opened at 5PM and the outdoor mainstage was in progress when we arrived about a half hour later. Shipwrecked <\/em>is a 2-night festival but we only attended the second day this year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Audia (USA) was playing a mostly Drum & Bass set last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The only female DJ in yesterday’s lineup, Audia is based in Detroit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The second stage is located indoors and keeping with the pirate theming, it’s called the Gallows<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The opener in here was DJ Lo-G (USA) playing EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While outdoors last night was on the Bass side, indoors was on the House side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were actually more patrons inside than there were outside. At least initially. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jawnney (USA) was up shortly after our arrival. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This Tampa-based DJ gave us a House set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Indoors is a large room with multiple bars and over the years we’ve seen it get packed in here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back outside, dusk was setting-in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ AEDFX (USA) was on and we weren’t sure what this Los Angeles-based artist was playing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Maybe you’d call it Melodic Dubstep or Experimental Bass, not sure. But it was excruciating. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The slow Bass would continue with Baltimore-based DJ Vide (USA) in the 7PM position. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You’d expect Bass DJ’s to deliver those head-banging drops for fans of that genre but neither of these two guys did that, at least not while we were there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted taking pics: Orlando club photographer Summer. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted tending: Orlando-based Ashley.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jay Crusoe (USA) was on next inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This Orlando-based DJ’s set had a Tech House vibe to some of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had the growing-crowd bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Pirate-theming was of course de rigueur. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We were kind of disappointed with Shipwrecked <\/em>this year. Last year they had Green Velvet (USA) and a few years prior breakout star John Summit (USA). Nothing like that this year. So at this point we took a break from the festival and headed over to Centro Cantina<\/em> in the Centro Ybor<\/em> restaurant complex. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can never go wrong with alcoholic slurpees!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Located upstairs, Centro Cantina<\/em> has a great view of Ybor City’s main thoroughfare Seventh Avenue which is jammed with bars, clubs, restaurants and shops. And there were lots of Gasparilla <\/em>revelers passing back-and-forth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In the booth we found DJ Fugi (USA) playing mostly 90’s & Y2K Hip Hop & Top 40 hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There wasn’t any dancing initially until these two non-bashful types got the place started.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then it got jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know it’s great music when the DJ is getting into it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Party Animals!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course you can’t visit Ybor City without stopping by The Castle<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around midnight, the queue to get in stretched around the block.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Saturday night resident DJ Tom Gold (USA) was in the perch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the dance floor was packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music mostly Industrial & Goth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted by the stage: Brian with his main squeeze Rebecca.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: DJ Rob Bates (USA) with Alison and Karen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the rental pony: Sarah, Hunter & Ozzie.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can’t get more Goth than The Castle<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In the torture chamber, whippings were being meted-out. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This one was definitely getting the punishment she deserved. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music is Industrial, Synthpop, Dark Wave, Power Noise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Saturday nights are themed as “Communion After Dark” and the dance floor stays jammed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-6PR","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26279"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26338,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26279\/revisions\/26338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
