| Blog reader Steve P. sent us this photo this morning taken 14 years ago (2011). It's the remains of Rock'n'Roll Beach Club following it's demolition. The demolition of club Motion had preceded it and it would soon be followed by the demolition of the former BET Soundstage building across the Island. Thank you, Steve! |
 |
| After you park at Disney's Boardwalk Resort in Bay Lake, just follow the sign downstairs to the actual boardwalk. |
 |
| There are restaurants, shops, and games, just like you're "down the shore" in New Jersey! |
 |
| You might see a genuine barbershop quartet. |
 |
| You might find the world's last remaining Jellyrolls. |
 |
| And down at the end, like at any decent boardwalk, a dance hall. And this is where we began our Saturday night: Atlantic Dance Hall. |
 |
| We walked into this! |
 |
| Here we found DJ Mynd (USA) in the booth playing mostly Top 40. |
 |
| Most of the music at ADH is accompanied by music videos. |
 |
| We heard some EDM being played during our visit too. |
 |
| The dance floor is cavernous so even when there's a crowd it can seem empty. |
 |
| That crowd is mostly tourists or Disney CM's but everyone is welcome. They're open Thursday-Sunday nights and admission and parking are free. |
 |
| When you spot that cow on the roof, you know you're in Orlando's Milk District. |
 |
| Home to a few food options, a pool hall and several bars & clubs including Iron Cow. |
 |
| There was a long queue to get inside. |
 |
| But first you have to get past Door Hostess Stephanie and schmoozing with her won't get you inside. We tried. She will scrutinize your ticket to no end to make sure it's legit. |
 |
| Once inside, we walked into this! |
 |
| Upon arrival we found resident DJ Mathew Scot (USA) in the booth. |
 |
| House and Progressive House were the order of the evening. |
 |
| A few minutes later DJ Seth Vogt (USA) took over. |
 |
| Continuing with that mostly Progressive House vibe. |
 |
| Dance floor went from this..... |
 |
| .....to this during his set. |
 |
| If it seems like we come to Iron Cow quite often, it's because we do. They have so many great events here ranging from local talent to international touring DJ's. |
 |
| We ran into so many peeps from the local dance scene! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| And then shortly after midnight, there he was, the headliner..... |
 |
| John Graham is DJ Quivver (GB). |
 |
| Mostly Progressive House, perhaps a bit of Deep House. |
 |
| First time seeing Quivver since 2016 when he played next door at what was then Sandwich Bar, now The Nook. |
 |
| Dance floor stayed jammed! Iron Cow hosts a Chicago-style House show on Saturday, February 22nd ft. DJ Threejay (USA) and DJ Jennifer Marley (USA). That will be a do-not-miss show! |
 |
| We next headed up to north suburban Sanford and The Capital Room. |
 |
| We walked into this! |
 |
| We were happy to find DJ Matrix (USA) still in the booth, joined here by MC MB (USA). In the background, DJ MX (USA) had played earlier. |
 |
| It's a night of Breaks when the NLP DJ group is in the club! |
 |
| Lots of great memories from Suite B Lounge from back when NLP played regularly there. |
 |
| Dance floor was jammed and moving fast! |
 |
| We ran into so many peeps from the local dance scene! |
 |
 |
 |
| DJ Johnny Park (USA) & DJ Supagroover (USA) had both played earlier, joined here by Dolly. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Coming on for the late shift, DJ Juz10tym (USA). |
 |
| He would take us to closing time with more Breaks and Electro. |
 |
| On Saturday, February 15th, bring your main squeeze over here to Capital Room for an all-female DJ lineup headlined by DJ Heather Collins (USA) along with DJ Gruvgirl (USA), DJ Lovelee (GB/USA) and DJ ZZ (USA). |
 |
| Last night the music was off-the-chain and a good time was had by all. |
