Club Reports: 180 Skytop Lounge, Peek Downtown, Backbooth

Friday night in the city and beginning my weekend at 180 Skytop Lounge atop Amway Center.
Spotted in the corner of the inside section of 180, DJ Asep.
Playing a Latin set, there were already people dancing!
Meanwhile outside on the deck, DJ Roberto was playing a mix of Hip Hop hits and Reggaeton.
When the tower is white and blue, that means the Orlando Magic had a home game that evening elsewhere in the building. Sadly, they lost to the Chicago Bulls.
Great views of the downtown skyline from outside on the deck!
Great place to impress a first date!
Even I-4 is romantic from up here!  Well, ok, maybe not.
Now over to Peek Downtown.
DJ Mr. Crowley in the booth playing House music.
Early on there were just a few on the dance floor.
But people kept streaming in!
Spotted in VIP: DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA) who would play later & Chris. As far as I can tell, Mendoza is the only Orlando DJ playing at next weekend's Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando.
Great House set from Mr. Crowley!
Huge Breaks show tonight at Peek Downtown for "Pretty In Peek", an all-female DJ lineup that features DJ Bella (USA).
Final stop Backbooth where I've only visited once since they ended their multi-decade "Footloose 80's Night" earlier this year.
DJ Bill was in the booth when I arrived not knowing what to expect from their new after-midnight "Late Night Swim".
I was surprised to find a large crowd dancing to House music!
I was told this new event features a mix of House, Chill, EDM & Indie.
All of a sudden a small group went up on stage and began dancing behind the DJ!
Soon followed by many more!
Great music and it does my heart proud when I see youngsters embracing electronic dance music!
A good time was had by all!
