Located on Warner St, Electric Playground is a small nightclub that thumps a techno beat with an eclectic mix of colour and themed decor. The club, which has hosted celebrity djs, was renovated and reopened with lasers and light shows. It is a new hot spot for the party crowd, with a large outdoor area and built in an old church. The club has changed hands a few times over the years, but it seems to have finally found it's calling and an Electic Playground it is.
What to Expect @ Electric Playground
By Caitlyn Davey
This weekend, I went to see a UFC fighter celebrity DJ for the Electric Playground, a new club on Warner St in Fortitude Valley. It is part of the same complex as 'The Church' (Magic City). It has changed hands a few times over the years, being Planet Hollywood and then The Planet nightclub, but I think this building has finally found its calling.
The decor is where this club excels. The name Electric Playground is apt - it is colourful and eclectic. Lasers sweep over the neon lit bar, and screens in the walls play a visualiser all over the club. It is cool and well ventilated for the small building. The smoke machines and green lasers fill the club and create a fun party feel.
The small area is well laid out for a club. There is a rectangle with the DJ on a raised platform in the middle overlooking the dance floor. Outside the terrace runs down the side of the building with levels to dance and sit. They have a DJ playing outside to keep the atmosphere of the club going outside. Inside, it is a simple rectangle with the bar and seating raised overlooking the dance floor which is spacious and underneath the DJ.
The prices were average for drinks. The entry fee was $15 however, but this was because there was a celebrity DJ playing. The demographic in attendance may have been because of the DJ but I have been previously and it has always been a young techno crowd.
The club was not very busy. The seats were mostly taken but there were only a handful of people on the dance floor. The fact that it was the night before a big music festival may have had something to do with this, but I don't know. The lesson I have learned in Valley clubbing is that it is hit and miss and that the party starts after 11pm. Any earlier (with the exception of nights with events) tends to result in an empty venue.
The atmosphere is a nightclub techno feel. The patrons are well dressed and looking to dance. There is an ATM in the club, and seating near it and the toilets. One thing for inside Electric Playground, talking is difficult; this is a place to dance.
