Winter Park’s downtown is famous for its shopping and restaurants but even on weekend nights, it seems they roll-up the sidewalks before 11PM and there isn’t much going on. That changed when Morse Code <\/em>opened up and that was our first stop last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked into this. Nearly every seat in the place was taken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music being delivered by DJ NvS (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music on the Chill House side with some occasional Jazz weaved-in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Morse Code<\/em> is a beer and wine-only venue which is perfect for the Winter Park crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We had missed the opening set from DJ Ethan McCain (USA). We’re told an hour after our visit about 30 more people arrived and it got packed with a full dance floor. Sorry to have missed that! Morse Code<\/em> is located on Morse Blvd one block east of Park Avenue so come check it out when you’re in DTWP looking for some late night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> is located on Robinson Street in Orlando’s so-called Milk District and it was our next stop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked in to this crowd on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music delivered by DJ Dose (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music with and without vocals and even some Classic Dance. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Mark Farina (USA) was originally scheduled for last night but the event was postponed due to the impending hurricane. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dose had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: Jaime Anne aka Mrs. Dose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted by the bar: DJ Jerry “The Reverend” Johnson (USA) who had played earlier along with DJ Jody Buck (USA) and DJ Atnarko (USA). Happy Birthday to The Reverend!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: Amelia with DJ Dack (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: A rare appearance from Jose!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was soon 11PM and time for a shift change. DJ Dose closed with an awesome House remix of Dance classic “Rhythm of the Night”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DJ Atnarko taking over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music all night long.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
It never got super-crowded in here but it was hardly empty either. Tonight at the Cow <\/em>DJ’s Noel Sanger (USA), Seth Vogt (USA) and Blake Jarrell (USA) are playing and admission is free if you preregister here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The sign says “Sticky Rice” on the outside but there’s a dance club on the inside!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The famed Bikkuri Lounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to get past Door Hostess Shari and convince her our Press credentials were authentic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived to a very-spartan crowd on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Miraxy (USA) was providing the tunes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Only the second time seeing Miraxy playing; we had previously seen her play at The Corner<\/em> in DTO. Last night she incorporated numerous niches of House music styles in her set including some great build-ups and drops.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted passing by: Promoter Yuri Gonzalez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: Larry and Renee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Bikkuri <\/em>is famous for this multi-colored light wall which was not operational last night. It looks like it could use a good scrubbing though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Blog <\/em>archive photo of that light wall in action on a night DJ duo Kyau & Albert (D) played here 8 years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This event was advertised as an “Afters” party so a crowd was not expected here until late since it was going until 6AM. The bar had a queue at various times during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
