“We’re going back to Kali, Kali, Kali……” Third visit to Kali Ultra Lounge<\/em> although this was our first visit since they finally released their new name. They had been operating since they opened a few months ago under the Mangos Ultra Lounge<\/em> or Mangos Upstairs<\/em> names.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived around 10PM last night to find a small crowd already on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We found the opener DJ Noel Sanger (USA) in the booth when we arrived. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A mostly House set from him last night although we were told there were some Progressive Breaks in there too which we thought was Tech House. They’re all a blur!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We last saw Noel Sanger perform one year ago at Electric Daisy Carnival-Orlando<\/em>. A reminder that EDC <\/em>is just two weekends away and you can check out the daily DJ lineups and get single and multi-day passes at this link here<\/a>. Hope to see you all there, under the electric sky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor began to get more populated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Party in VIP!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always great to see Noel Sanger.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Not only does Kali Ultra Lounge<\/em> have a great sound system, they also have an amazing light system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s definitely the most-impressive in Orlando.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ’s! We saw DJ’s! Spotted in the foyer: DJ Tooltime (USA) with DJ Burufunk (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: Burufunk with DJ Keri (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted by the booth: Nicole with DJ Seth Vogt (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just before 11PM and DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA) taking over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set a journey of Techno to Tech House to House and back to Techno.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had the club bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Not only was the dance floor in front of the booth filled but all the areas further away were getting active too. It’s a pretty large club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Although he was playing here at Kali <\/em>last night, you can find Carlos every Saturday night playing with DJ Romano Arcaini (D\/USA) not far from here at Vines Grill & Wine Bar<\/em> on Sand Lake Road.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always great to see Carlos Mendoza on the decks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into so many peeps from the local scene!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then at 12:30AM, OMG! There he was, the headliner, the legend…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Paul Oakenfold (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The club went crazy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Known historically as a Trance DJ, his set last night was a bit of everything.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A really great feature of Kali Ultra Lounge<\/em> is that you can be right up front with some of the world’s greatest DJ’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted: Paul Oakenfold wearing a Paul Oakenfold tee-shirt. Awesome!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We last saw Paul Oakenfold perform back in November, 2000 at Ace Cafe<\/em>. This was at the tail-end of the covid19 crisis so everyone had to be masked-up even though it was outdoors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We give Paul Oakenfold full credit for the DJ-craze that developed in Las Vegas. He was the first world-class DJ to get a residency at a casino\/club when he played weekly at Rain Nightclub<\/em> inside The Palms Casino Resort<\/em>. That led to nearly every casino in town having to open a mega-club and signing DJ’s to exclusive contracts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor stayed jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Moving about the club had become close to impassable! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But what a great show and a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
