Ladies, Here's Tips on How to Dress for the Nightclubs

If you are a woman, try not to bring a big purse. Some nightclubs have coat and bag checks, but some don't, so you don't want to get stuck lugging around your big purse or worry about important stuff falling out of the purse.

Switch to a small purse that can go over your shoulder, so you'll have what you need, and can still have fun dancing. This applies to coats in the winter time.  If you can leave it behind, do it!


Going to a nightclub in New York is where the high class type nightclubs are.  It's very important to have style when going dance in NYC. You won't make it past the bouncer's rope if you're not wearing the latest fashions. 


At a high-fashion club, you might find yourself wearing this season's hottest style of dress, a hot new colored cami or halter top with designer jeans or a pencil skirt with low neckline top to go with it.

You can never go wrong with a cute tight fitted dress and heels for the club.  There are a lot of cute club outfits that are affordable at Forever 21.

Animal Print dresses are really hot now too!!  You can always wear leggings (the stockings type) with the dress if it's cold or the dress seems too short.

The smokey eye look is very hot for the evening time at the clubs  Use some blacks, browns, and grey eye shadows and some killer black liquid eyeliner and Loreal has some great 24 hour mascaras!!! 

GOT TO LOVE DUBSTEP!!!

      DubStep is one of my favorite types of House Music!!

  It's like a music ecstasy when I hear this music playing!

           Some Hot Dub Step Musicians to listen to: 

    Skream, Skrillex, Flux Pavillion, Gemini, DJ Fresh,  

                Excision, Borgore, and Zomby

BACKGROUND INFROMATION ABOUT DUBSTEP:

• Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England, United Kingdom. The music website, Allmusic has described its overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals."

• The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998 and were darker, more experimental,      instrumental dub remixes of 2-step garage tracks attempting to incorporate the funky elements of breakbeat, or the dark elements of drum and bass into 2-step, which featured as B-sides of single releases.

• Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled or incorporating tuplets. 

• The tempo is nearly always in the range of 138–142 beats per minute, with a clap or snare usually inserted every third beat in a bar.

This guy, Dave Crowe is an awesome Dubstep beat boxer from England!! Check him out.  It's a ten minute video, but it's awesome if you get a chance to watch it or at least forward through the video to listen to different parts. 

Choosing The Right Nightclub!!!

So I am on a mission to find a hot nightclub to go clubbing to on Friday with my girl friends.  I heard some good reviews about Pacha and Webster in NYC.  I also was given suggestions about checking out Deko Lounge and Pure in Sayreville, NJ.  Two other clubs I was told about are 46 Lounge in Totowa, NJ and 4sixty6 in West Orange, NJ.

46 Lounge seems like a really enticing club to check out Friday due to this advertisement on their facebook:

Plus we are trying to stay in NJ this time.

What Makes A Club Good:

A great variety of music, mainly house music

Friendly DJ, Bartenders, and Bouncers

Decently Priced Beverages

Good atmosphere of people

Cleanliness

No Creepers lol

When the majority of the crowd is relatively your age

When there is a time range where ladies can get in for FREE

When the decorations, the lighting, and the set up of the venue is hot and awesome looking! :)

Hopefully I pick the right club to venture to! If anyone reads this, feel free to give me any input or suggestions.

Experiencing The Nightclub Life Through the Senses

I can hear the music blasting.  I can feel the bass vibrating as if the speakers are about to burst.  There are tons of other warm, sweaty bodies around me dancing and fist pumping.  The inside of the nightclub is dark except for the multicolored flashing lights that are shining down on the dance floor and all the glows stick jewelry that is wrapped around people's necks and wrists.  I see the DJ high up on his own platform scratching and spinning on the turntables.  He's got his massive, black headphones on top of his head.  I can tell he's really into what he does because he's swaying from side to side and tapping his foot on the floor as he DJs.  

I push my way through the crowd as if I am an explorer trying to get through the jungle.  So many bodies rubbing up against me.  I can smell the saltiness of their sweat and the intensity of their different colognes.  Once I find a comfortable spot that feels right, I begin to dance with my friends.  I just let the music take total control of my body, mind, and soul.  Everyone else just disappears.  Nothing else matters because my favorite music is playing, and it is loud.  I feel like I am high on some type of "music ecstasy".  The more I dance, the more energy I gain.  I never feel more alive than I do when I am dancing at the clubs.  I can feel this incredible vivacity in the atmosphere.  Everyone is happy and upbeat.  The concept of time is lost once I've entered the nightclub world.



ANOTHER AWESOME SONG!!! GOLD DUST (FLUX PAVILLION REMIX)_DJ FRESH:

One of My Favorite House DJs

One of the hottest House DJs is Kaskade!!

Kaskade is an American DJ and a record producer.  His real name is Ryan Raddon.  He was born February 25, 1971.  In 1989 to 1990, Kaskade practiced his DJ skills in his dorm room at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

On September 9, 2011, a DJ Times poll voted Kaskade "America's Best DJ 2011".  

On October 20, 2011, DJ Magazine announced the results of their annual Top 100 DJ Poll, with Ultra Records, and Kaskade placed at #30.

Kaskade rose to prominence alongside producers Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner during the revival of American progressive in late 2008-early 2009. His style is mostly bassline minimal, although he occasionally likes to add sudden very abrasive leads and breaks. 

Kaskade released his first single "What I Say" on the label in 2001. In the Moment saw Kaskade's first top 10 single with "Steppin' Out" reaching #5 on Billboard's Magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play chart and #6 on Dance Radio Airplay. The fourth single to be released from the album, "Everything," reached #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Dance Club Play.

Kaskade took his stage name from a nature book when he saw a picture of a waterfall and a co-worker agreed "cascade" was a good choice, but he then changed the spelling.

Kaskade worked with Canadian house/electronic DJ/artist deadmau5 to produce tracks on Strobelite Seduction, including the first single (released as an EP) Move for Me. The single became his fifth top ten hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay Chart, reaching the number one position in its September 6, 2008 issue. It also gave Kaskade his first number one single on this chart. The dance single has become a crossover hit, managing to reach number 71 on the Canadian Hot 100 as of February 14, 2009. on vocals.

Kaskade's has 5 albums out: 

• It's You, It's Me (2003)
• Love Mysterious (2006)
• Strobelite Seduction (2008)
• Dynasty (2010)
• Fire and Ice (2011)

My Favorite Songs by Kaskade which are on My Ipod are:

• Move for Me
• Fire In Your New Shoes
• 4 AM
• Angel on My Shoulder
• I Remember
• Dynasty
• Steppin’ Out

His music is really chill and relaxing.  It's not too fast paced or crazy.  It's more relaxing.  You can dance to some of his songs, but you can just lay back, relax, and listen to a lot of his songs.  For example, they are good songs to listen to while on a walk or while laying on the beach.  I just get lost in the songs and caught up in the moment.  Everything else around me just disappears!  I love it!  He's pretty hot too!! LOL

More Exploration on House Music

After the mid-90s, house music grew even larger during the second wave of Progressive House (1999–2001). The genre still remains popular and fused into other subgenres which are popular, as the DJ mag poll has been dominated by House DJs since the beginning of the polls. 

In Europe, the genre remains highly popular into the 2000s, with groups and artists such as Daft Punk and Justice performing in the genre, and obtaining commercial success and critical acclaim.  

In the 2000s, a house subgenre known as electro house achieved popularity. Today, house music remains popular in both clubs and in the mainstream pop scene.
House is uptempo music for dancing, although by modern dance-music standards it is mid-tempo, generally ranging between 118 and 135 bpm. Tempos tended to be slower in the early years of house.

The common element of house is a prominent kick drum on every beat (also known as a four-on-the-floor beat), usually generated by a drum machine or sampler. The kick drum sound is augmented by various kick fills and extended dropouts. 
 This pattern derives from the so-called "four-on-the-floor" dance drumbeats of the 1960s which impacted on 1980s house music via the 1970s disco drummers.

The term "house music" is widely cited to have originated as a reference to a Chicago nightclub called The Warehouse which existed from 1977 to 1983.  The Warehouse was patronized primarily by black and Latino men, who came to dance music played by the club's resident DJ Frankie Knuckles.  

 Knuckles became a popular DJ at the club.  After the Warehouse closed in 1983, the crowds went to his new club, The Power Plant.  In the Channel 4 documentary Pump Up The Volume, Knuckles remarks that the first time he heard the term "house music" was upon seeing "we play house music" on a sign in the window of a bar on Chicago's South Side.  

One of the people in the car with him joked, "you know, that's the kind of music you play down at the Warehouse!", and then everybody laughed.  South-Side Chicago DJ Leonard "Remix" Roy, in self-published statements, claims he put such a sign in a tavern window because it was where he played music that one might find in one's home; in his case, it referred to his mother's soul & disco records, which he worked into his sets. 

Chip E.'s 1985 recording "It's House" may also have helped to define this new form of electronic music.  However, Chip E. lends credence to the Knuckles association, claiming the name came from methods of labelling records at the Importes Etc. record store, where he worked in the early 1980s.

Much of the music that DJ Knuckles played at the Warehouse nightclub were labelled in the store "As Heard At The Warehouse", which was shortened to simply "House".  

I would now like to end this blog with a sample of a house song that I love!!!!

A Look At Where House Music Began

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in the American city of Chicago in the early 1980s.  

Some other genres within electronic dance music include:

•  Trance, 
• Techno, 
• and Dubstep. 

Some house music producers that are really popular are: 

• Daft Punk, 
• David Guetta, 
• Stardust, 
• Swedish House Mafia, 
• Deadmau5, 
• Afrojack, 
• Steve Aoki, 
• Avicii, 
• Fredde Le Grand, 
• Benny Benassi, 
• Kaskade, 
• Calvin Harris,
•  and ATB, 

which have brought eurodance-infused house tracks back to the US Top 40 charts.

Electronic music was initially popularized circa 1984 in discothèques catering to gay and mixed, primarily African-American and Latino audiences in Chicago.  Beginning in 1985, this music fanned out to other major cities such as Detroit, Toronto, New York City,Boston, Montreal, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manchester,  Miami, London, and Paris.  

Then it began to influence popular music in Europe, with songs such as "House Nation" by House Master Boyz and the Rude Boy Of House (1987) and "Doctorin' The House" by Coldcut (1988) in the pop charts. Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide.

Early house music was generally dance-based music characterized by repetitive 4/4 beats and rhythms centered around drum machines, off-beat hi-hat cymbals and synthesized basslines. While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco music, it was more electronic and minimalistic.

The structured music's focus around a repetitive rhythm was more important than the song itself. House music today still has several of these core elements like the prominent kick drum on every beat.  However, it varies a lot in style and influence, ranging from the soulful and atmospheric deep house, to the more minimalistic microhouse.

House music has also fused with several other genres creating fusion subgenres, such as Euro house and tech house.  House music, after enjoying significant underground and club-based success in Chicago from the early 1980s onwards, emerged into the UK mainstream pop market in the mid-to-late 80s. Popularity quickly followed in the rest of Europe, and it became a global phenomenon from the early-to-mid 90s onwards.
