Club Reports: Independent Bar, Aero Bar, Peek Downtown, Treehouse, Gilt Nightclub

Saturday night began as it typically does with a visit to I-Bar!
Because it was particularly early this visit, the dance floor was just beginning to see activity from the Saturday night format of 80's New Wave.
Spotted by the bar: DJ Kimball Collins (USA) with Independent Bar Lighting Tech Ernie. Don't miss Kimball's mid-summer Breaks show at The Beacham on Independence Day Eve featuring not only Kimball but also DJ Icey, Keith Mackenzie, Scratch-D & Wes Smith! Advance tickets here.
Operating on a tight schedule, Aero Bar was next!
DJ Dominick Morrison (USA) in the perch delivering House & EDM.
And during my half hour visit the dance floor went from this.....
To this.....
To this!
Spotted in the booth: DJ Cliff T, DJ Parry & SarahK
Heading back to my car and checking out the goings-on inside Peek Downtown.
Old Skool Breaks off vinyl was the theme of the night!
I sadly couldn't stick around to hear Blog-favorite DJ Heather Collins (USA) play, pictured here with Cesar.
Spotted The Treehouse and I knew I had not visited in a long time!
First you climb the stairs and go up into the tree!
No DJ here, just prerecorded music which last night was 90's.
Always a great vibe in here; everyone is happy!
Of course the main attraction at The Treehouse is grabbing a drink and then chilling picnic style on the grass floor!
The main reason for being out last night was taking place at Gilt Nightclub!
DJ Luccio (USA) was on the decks when I arrived. He was operating off a side table rather than in the main booth.
Because the headliner had the main booth occupied with this equipment!

And a moment later, there he was!
Taking over at 1AM, DJ Paul van Dyk (D).
All Trance, All Night!
Packed to the rafters for this Berlin-based DJ!
The first time I ever saw him play live was in 2013 at Firestone. Last night it was all non-vocal Trance, much off his new album. And as expected, he killed it last night!
And a good time was had by all!
