It was great to be back in downtown Orlando last night after nearly three weeks south of the equator. No new ground covered; we simply visited some of our favorites beginning with the Arena Art Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked into this active bar scene in the spot many of us better know as Suite B Lounge \/ Peek Downtown<\/em>. Spotted behind the bar: Tori & Karly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We found DJ Madsounds (USA) in the booth and he was pumping out some great vocal House beats!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Arena Art Bar<\/em> is themed to some extent as a sports arena. There’s some bleachers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There are a pair of box seats for those who like to sit close to the action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s a scoreboard too behind the DJ booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just after 11PM, DJ Jose Guerrero (USA) took over the decks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would continue the House theme of the evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This venue was most-recently home to Ann Teague’s Lamp Supply<\/em> so stop by and make them an offer!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next stop, downtown favorite Elixir Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here the action takes place out on their famous dance patio where we walked into this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The openers were still playing; alternating duties between DJ Pacho Berrocal (USA) and DJ YASA (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Vocal House music, of course!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
About ten minutes after midnight, last night’s headliner took over: DJ Fiin (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor got more crowded.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
ABBA (S) Disco hit “Voulez Vous<\/a>” might have been a House remix, not sure. It sounded exactly like the original and definitely still relevant. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music all night long!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Fiin is based in Miami.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Staches are back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We really miss Barbarella <\/em>being downtown but it’s been two years now since they relocated to a warehouse off John Young Parkway out in suburbia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving close to 1:30AM, there was still a crowd on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Rob Bates (USA) was in the booth delivering the good stuff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Saturday night format is as its always been at Barbarella \/ Independent Bar<\/em>, 80’s New Wave and Alternative such as this song by Nitzer Ebb (GB).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Comfort music!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We first met Rob Bates at Independent Bar<\/em> more than a decade ago!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He hasn’t aged a bit since we took this photo back in 2013 when he operated as DJ Dem Rok.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know Barbarella <\/em>is legit since they have not just one but two shiny disco balls above the DJ booth.<\/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":26578,"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-26571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSCN2614-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-6Uz","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26571","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=26571"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26604,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26571\/revisions\/26604"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
