Club Reports: House & Coffee @ Qreate, Studio 54 @ London House, Oliv Bar

You may have heard the buzz about this newer monthly event called "House & Coffee" taking place at Qreate Coffee in Orlando's Creative Village district of town. That's where we began our Saturday.

We arrived fashionably early at 9:30AM to find this entry line of more than a hundred people stretched down the block!
 
It only took us 1h53m to get in, not that we were tracking it. We walked into this.

DJ Chino (USA) delivering the tunes during our visit.

House music with your coffee in the morning.

It reaches capacity quickly so you've got to arrive early. They can only let more people inside when patrons leave to go outside.

Chino had the dance floor bouncing.

Admission is free but you have to buy something; a coffee, tea or food item suffices.

A good time was had by all.

When we departed at noon the line still stretched down the block! The next "House & Coffee" takes place on Saturday, July 12th. Free advance tickets here.

It was soon Saturday night and we headed to the Studio 54 party taking place in tbe Bond Room at London House just off Sand Lake Road.

We knew it was going to be a good night when we noticed all the valet parking spots outside were full. We walked into this.

DJ Trini D (TT/USA) was in the booth playing 70's Disco.

Songs like "Lets Groove Tonight", "Burn Baby Burn", "Tragedy" and "September" kept the dance floor full.

"Boogie Shoes", "Hot Stuff" and "The Hustle" were among the classics we heard.

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

Well damn, they were right!

The bar was absolutely jammed.

At 11PM, DJ Chino (USA) for the second time today! He would continue the Disco vibe with songs like "Night Fever", "Good Times" and "Get Down Tonight". 

A good time was had by all.

The little club with the big club inside! Oliv Bar was our next stop.

Located on Magnolia Avenue just north of Colonial Drive in Uptown, it's become one of the top venues in town for promoters to book DJ events.

When we arrived DJ Blend (USA) was just finishing his set.

One of the largest crowds we've seen here at Oliv.

They had a second booth set up in the elevator lobby and here we found DJ Kanipshun (USA).

Not too large of a crowd out here. Not a very practical place to stick a DJ booth, in our opinion.

DJ Roller (USA) and DJ Drizzy (USA) would take over at midnight out here playing Breaks.

Back in the main room, not sure if the headliner was mocking me or what: illDJChrisB (USA).

He would continue with the Breaks theme of the evening.

And when he dropped some Booty Breaks, dance floor got jammed.

Music that makes you happy!

We ran into so many people we know from the music scene.











DJ Flurk (USA) would take over the booth next to close out the night.

The music was LOUD!

After 1AM and no one was leaving just yet.

A good time was had by.....all.
