Club Reports: Morse Code, Oliv Bar, MegaCon After Party

This is the SunRail/Amtrak station in beautiful downtown Winter Park. Although DTWP is known for its shopping and restaurants, they kind of shut the town down and roll-up the sidewalks after 10PM and there aren't a whole lot of nightlife options.

One place that began remedying that reputation beginning in 2023 was Morse Code.

Last night we opened the door to the venue and walked into this!

We found DJ Johnny Park (USA) in the booth.

He was playing a Classic Dance/Old Skool set.

Dance floor was jamming.

You never know what you're gonna hear at Morse Code but it's usually electronic dance music of some sort.

House, Dance, Breaks all get played here.

Music was so good, a second dance area spontaneously erupted.

We spotted a few people from the Orlando dance scene.



The legendary DJ Knightlife (USA) would be coming on next.

Music reminded me of listening to Orlando radio station 95.3Party around the turn of the century.

Morse Code is beer/wine/soft drinks only but the place is always jamming.

This distinct office building along North Orange Avenue in uptown Orlando is home to our next stop.

Oliv Bar

Last night we opened the door to the club and walked into this!

We found DJ David Martin (USA) in the booth.

House music all night long.

It's a small venue but big sound and the dance floor was occupied.

Last year we discovered an every-other Friday night event happening here and suddenly different promoters are bringing in DJ's every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night!

DJ Scot Marc (USA) and DJ Jody Buck (USA) would be coming on later.

Team picture.

Oliv Bar has a full liquor bar.

This is the Rosen Centre Hotel located along International Drive in Orlando's tourism district. With MegaCon taking place at the adjacent Orange County Convention Center, the hotel's main ballroom was home last night to the official convention afterparty titled "Mutant Masquerade".

MegaCon is the second largest fan convention in the United States for fans of comic books, anime, sci-fi, gaming, cosplay, etc. Official parties were held Thursday night at Ice Bar Orlando, Friday night at Sport & Social and last night here at the Rosen Centre.

Last night we opened the door to the ballroom and walked into this!

We found DJ King Arthur (USA) still in the booth.

But as midnight arrived, there he was, the headliner.....

DJ Evolv3 (USA)

And he would deliver a great EDM, Dance & Top 40 set.

Dance floor was absolutely mobbed!

A few of the cosplay outfits we witnessed last night.






There were numerous bar setups throughout the ballroom so you didn't have to go far to get a drink. Prices were surprisingly good.

DJ Evolv3 is a MegaCon Afterparty fan favorite and you never know what he's going to wear!

DJ had everyone bouncing!

They say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls.

Well damn, they were right!

Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.
