\"\"
So many NYE options last night but after many deliberations, we settled on the show happening here at the Iron Cow<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to talk our way past the Door Host and Security.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived shortly after the 8PM opening time and found DJ Braindusted (USA) already on the controls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He opened the evening with a House\/Chill House mix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course the opener gets stuck with an empty room but there was a queue outside so things looked promising.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the dance floor was vacant at this early hour, the bar was definitely not.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They had their finest-looking staff on duty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A lot of his Downtempo selections included vocals and thus a great way to kick-off the night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around 9:15PM there was a shift change with DJ Lola B. (USA) taking over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She opened with some additional Downtempo but then cranked it up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music, of course!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor would slowly get occupied.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was great to see Lola B. again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always a great fashion sense, her toque matched her western boots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She had the club bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As it really began to get crowded down there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> has a shiny disco ball so you know they’re legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into so many peeps from the music scene. Some were new but most we knew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Taking over next, DJ Atnarko (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would deliver a mostly House set too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor got cranked-up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everybody in a great mood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That look you get from great House music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Atnarko always does a wonderful job and it got packed to the rafters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then, there he was! The headliner, the legend…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Icey (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Early in his set, “Everybody’s Free (To Feel Good)<\/a>“. We’ll always remember it as the final song ever played at Mannequins <\/em>as delivered by the a fore mentioned DJ Dave Cannalte.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Songs such as his own “The One<\/a>” and “Everyday<\/a>” kept everyone psyched-up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They <\/em>say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Well damn, they <\/em>were right! Dancer Kriss Reign (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just don’t get in her way!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Hanging with the DJ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then the countdown to midnight began!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
4-3-2-1, Happy New Year!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Toot Toot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know it’s a great show when the DJ is so animated with his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Around 1AM, another legend came on. DJ Kimball Collins (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would play a mostly House set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That look you get from the trancy Delerium (CDN) hit, “Silence<\/a>“. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Around 1:30AM and no one was leaving just yet!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Since his residency at Barbarella <\/em>ended, it’s been hard to catch a Kimball live and in-person set. But we’ve been fortunate this year getting to see him at the Labor Day Bash<\/em> at House of Blues<\/em>, then the Orlando All-Stars<\/em>\/AAHZ Reunion<\/em> at The Beacham <\/em>and now for NYE here at theCow<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was so animated too! Closing his set with a couple Drum & Bass songs. Who knew?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Braindusted came back on after Kimball and would close-out the night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Taking us into the wee hours.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A super fun New Years Eve and a good time was had by all. HAPPY NEW YEAR<\/strong> everyone and thanks for reading Orlando Entertainment News<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
