\"\"
Saturday night in the city and we began our evening of club hopping at Sapphire Lounge<\/em>. It’s only a couple months old so there’s no sign yet but it’s in the former Stonewall Bar\/Heatwave<\/em> spot on Church Street adjacent the Orlando City Lions<\/em> MLS <\/em>soccer stadium.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were three areas of music last night with the main room directly adjacent to the entry doors. We walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When we arrived DJ R-Side (USA) was turning the controls over to DJ Mr. Mogembo (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Their music was House\/Tech House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: The instigators of this 3rd edition of “Unlisted”, DJ Nina S (USA) and DJ Mr. Nukem (UAE). They would be playing together at this stage later in the evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sapphire <\/em>has numerous shiny disco balls over the dance floor so you know they’re legit!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We headed upstairs next and walked into this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In this second area of music we found DJ Wayward Jaybird (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We would describe his set as Hardstyle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had his own crowd up here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The third area of music was back downstairs but outside here on their back patio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We pointed to the printed lineup and asked which DJ he was? He said he was a last minute substitution and was not on the list.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He offered no additional information, lol. We headed next into downtown Orlando.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tier Nightclub<\/em> is now OHM Nightclub<\/em>. It had operated under the Tier <\/em>name since early 2012 when it replaced Icon Nightclub<\/em>. Same crappy music that Tier <\/em>played so we didn’t go inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Did you know that Taco Kat <\/em>spelled backwards is Tako Cat? It was our next stop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First you get scrutinized and authorized by the security guard standing next to that soda machine (pop machine for our northern readers). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then he opens that soda machine to reveal the portal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And you’re magically transported from a taco restaurant into this nightclub.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Sachin Talikot (USA) was in the booth when we first arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was playing a funky kind of House music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Usually pretty female-centric, there were a lot of bros in the club last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s a fun little venue with great music every time we’ve visited.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: DJ Brian Busto (USA) with his entourage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And indeed Brian would come on next just as we were heading-out to our next stop. We’ll try to catch the Tampa-based DJ next visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That next stop was over in Orlando’s Milk District, home to Iron Cow<\/em>. It was “Lost In Trancelation” Night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving after midnight, we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The booth was down on the dance floor instead of on stage and DJ Suzy Solar (USA) had just ended her set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DJ Sean Tyas (USA\/CH) taking over.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was pretty animated throughout his mostly Uplifting Trance set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor was jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Don’t recall any vocals in his music selections.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everybody in a great mood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We spotted numerous peeps we know from the music scene. Most we knew but some were new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
On the far right, DJ Keri (USA) joins DJ Burufunk (USA) at the “The Libra Party” next Friday night October 16th at Broken Strings Brewery<\/em>. Should be a night of mostly Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> has a shiny disco ball over the dance floor so you know they’re legit!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As 1:30AM approached, the floor was staying jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Great vibe in the club for this “Lost In Trancelation” event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38198,"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-38153","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\/2026\/10\/DSCN2314-1-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-9Vn","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38153","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=38153"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38201,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38153\/revisions\/38201"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/38198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
