Club Reports: Morse Code, Elixir Bar, Rayn

Downtown Winter Park is known for its haughty shopping and restaurant scene but when it comes to nightlife, well, they kind of roll-up the sidewalks after 10PM. But one place you can count-on for nightlife on weekend nights is Morse Code.

We arrived around 10PM to find DJ Shaun Kerr (USA) on the decks playing House. Apparently he operates under his real name when playing House and under the DJ Swagkerr alias when playing Breaks.

He had a large crowd on the dance floor.

While we've seen larger crowds here, it was hardly empty either.

DJ Johnny Park (USA) came on shortly after we arrived.

His set a mix of Classic Dance, EDM and even some Disco.

Dance floor stayed busy.

We ran into so many peeps from the local music scene.

Team picture. The boys from P.M. Entertainment struck a pose. We were informed of numerous upcoming events that are in the works but we're sworn to secrecy.

That look you get from great music!

A good time was had by all.

Morse Code is located in DTWP along Morse Blvd. Now whether Morse Code is named after Morse Blvd or whether Morse Blvd is named after Morse Code, we really can't be sure. But it does seem to be more than just a coincidence.

Headed next to downtown Orlando and House music favorite Elixir Bar.

We arrived just before midnight and spotted the evening's headliner about to come on.

DJ Technasia (HK/F)

We had first met him in 2016 when he played at Eve Nightclub.

And we last saw him in 2022 when he played at Celine.

A lot of vocals in his selections last night which we would describe as mostly Tech House.

The dance floor, located outside on the famous Elixir patio, was absolutely mobbed.

Technasia was originally part of a Hong Kong-based DJ duo. After parting ways, he was able to retain the name and tour on his own now based in Europe.

Upcoming shows at Elixir include DJ Locklead (NL) tonight, OMRI. (IL) next Saturday night December 20th and DJ Marco Strous (P) on December 28th. Advance tickets on DICE. 

A good time was had by all.

We woke up Saturday morning with an announcement of an overnight Breaks event happening at midnight at Rayn Nightclub located inside the Opal Resort, Altamonte Springs. This is the former Why Not Lounge space. So we wanted to check it out.

Closer to 1AM, we found DJ Beni Hill (USA) in the booth when we arrived.

Mostly Breaks during our visit.

Not sure if this is going to be a weekly event or monthly event but not many here given the "last minute" nature of the announcement. There were a half dozen people inside at the bar, another half dozen outside on the patio and these two on the dance floor. We'll update you once we get more details. A good time was had by....these two, at least.
