Is there an expected age to stop clubbing?
Okay, we all reach that stage when we get over the whole clubbing scene (well most of us!), whether it’d be in our early to mid 20s, late 20s to early 30s, or even at the rare age of 18 where you go out once or twice and then decide the party scene is just not for you.
While writing about my clubbing experiences over the years, I realised I’ve partied for not only ten years, but also through halves of two different decades. Besides making me sound old (by clubbing standards anyway), I have seen a few different trends in fashion and music come and go.
Many of us feel the party starts when we get to the club. As you’re slowly amerced into the sound of bass and clinking off glasses being set down on the bar, it’s as if someone screams action and your big scene is rolling. Here’s the top 6 ways to nail that entrance so you ooze sexy right through your Friday night threads.
Two months after having to vote who would win the Budweiser Producer/DJ Of The Year Award, giving one talented and very lucky peep the chance to strut his musical stuff, the winner has been announced: Jono Fernandez!
Stereosonic hit Sydney and Perth over the weekend and caused an earthquake of fake tans, weird pupils and ass shorts. Two whole days of going hard and getting sun burnt is a requirement of the music festival that will move on Brisbane and Melbourne this weekend.
With so many different dance moves trending, it’s hard to know what moves you should keep in your pocket for that special night of flowing alcohol, allowable groping and anticipated beat drops. Twerking, Jerking, Shuffling, Yiking, to Dougie or to Gabber? Sometimes the classics are your best bet. They’re simple, take little effort and are do-able in heels. Not everyone can shake it like a rednose.
Other than 17 year old sticker artists and people who slurp ‘Go-gurt’ out of used enema bags, is there anyone as perennially cool as a DJ? These guys have somehow managed to monetise a job that used to be done for free by drunken uncles at weddings, turning an artform that started as a unique mode of expression for African-Americans in the urban jungle into a tool for meeting barely legals at schoolies and embarking on wild ‘finerbangathons’ that us non-DJs can only dream about.
After having numerous DJs plug their music to the folks at Budweiser to try and become the biggest thing in DJing since David Guetta, now’s your chance to decide who’s the best of the best. We all had to vote for Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott earlier this year, so why not vote for something you actually care about? The future of party music is at stake here!
Young Aussies who grew up on American movies and TV are already celebrating Halloween too, getting their friends to dress up and party like it’s the last night of their lives before they end up becoming the monsters they dressed up as. Though still nowhere near as big here as it is in the U.S., more Aussies are throwing parties at their houses or nightclubs to celebrate the day of witches, demons, ghosts and other ghouls. Everyone dresses up in wicked costumes, and it just simply kicks arse.
Have you ever been out partying when the DJ calls your name and says: “(Insert name here), this song is dedicated to you!” – after which one of the most embarrassing songs in history comes blaring through the speakers?
