| Wasn't able to make club Realm's opening party in downtown Gainesville a couple weeks ago when Dirtybird's DJ Middath was playing but I did get to drop in on the new venue last night. Located at the top of a staircase and greeted by a hand-painted tree mural, the entry is reminiscent of the Treehouse in Orlando. |
 |
| DJ Illegal Maneuver (USA) was in the booth during the first hour of my visit. |
 |
| He was mixing up a set of Techno and Tech House and a couple selections even had a 70's Disco vibe to them. Impressive! |
 |
| Of course everyone in Gainesville are student-age but it's a good feeling seeing another generation embrace electronic music! |
 |
| DJ Dunstan Wallace (USA) took over for the next hour and his set was more on the House side. |
 |
| Green lights and vines above the dance floor add to the theming. |
 |
| Realm is located where club Gallery Ultralounge was located which is upstairs above the Florida Theater on University Avenue. I also went by venerable club Simons twice but with Hip Hop blaring out the door both times, I didn't bother to go in. If namesake Simon Semroni was dead, (he's not!), he'd be rolling over in his grave seeing what's happened there! |
 |
| At Realm, a good time was had by all! |
