After spending last weekend in Miami for Miami Music Week<\/em> and two weekends ago in Sunshine Grove for Okeechobee Music Festival<\/em>, we were happy to be back wandering the streets of Orlando to bring you some local club reports. We began our Friday night at Grape & The Grain<\/em> in the Mills\/50 District.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coming out the venue’s back door, we walked into this! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DJ Calvin J (USA) was just finishing his set upon our 10PM arrival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was playing Latin House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Taking over immediately thereafter, DJ Brian Burnside (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And he switched it over to straight House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And what began as just a couple people on the dance floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Got busier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can always spot an old-school NYC DJ by the use of an earphone in lieu of headphones. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
She had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And those drops were getting the crowd excited.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We always call Oliv Bar <\/em>the little bar with the big bar inside. Busy dance floors and a full liquor bar make the place a popular venue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

\"\"
And Rob Cokeless’ set had the club bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where we found Friday night resident DJ Chino (USA) playing Latin hits when we first arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
