Nightlife Podcast: Max Vangeli
2010 was a very good year—for Max Vangeli. The Eastern European-born DJ/producer created remixes for Gorillaz, The Prodigy and Switchfoot; worked on original productions; and partnered with Steve Angello’s little bro, AN21. Vangeli’s career should only get bigger in the New Year, which begins with him teaming with Tiësto on January 1 at the Joint ($100 and up). Most Americans probably can’t find your native Moldova on a map. When did you first come to the U.S., and how do ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: AK1200
Why do you think it took the U.S. drum and bass scene so long to catch up with the U.K.’s? When you’re talking about American-made drum and bass, the majority of it got a little bit off-track and started to get too hard, dark and sort of boy’s club furious. It’s always been so good in the U.K. because jump-up was always there and tunes that would appeal to women—and you can’t have a good night, club or crowd without ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Chew Fu
Chew on this! Fu the “refixer” bring his future-perfect music to Vegas for the first time. We caught up with him before not one, but two gigs next week. Your Las Vegas debut will be at Ghostbar Sunday November 7 and then November 9 for BANG! at Moon. DJs and producers know you and play your tracks, you have over 130 recent “refixes,” a Masters in Fine Arts, but you’re probably a new name to local clubbers. So tell ‘em ... Read more...

Mark’s Blog: Why you need to go to Fetish & Fantasy next year
There’s one party in Las Vegas that gladly steps over the line and into the sexually taboo every October: It’s the Fetish & Fantasy Ball at the Hard Rock Hotel. An invitation to attend was offered to me this year and I jumped at the opportunity. As an F&F virgin, I had no idea what to expect. But I knew that if I was going to do this, I was going to do it right. After my closet had thrown ... Read more...

The Best Halloween Costumes of 2010?
No shortage of skimpy things and skin in 2010. A week’s worth of parties resulted in a week’s worth of wearing the same costume for this nightlife reporter. Going as the thing I loathe—a “drunk” tourist bachelorette—the more trashed my costume got, the better I played the part. From drinks spilled down my dress, smeared makeup, shredded nylons, tacky plastic penis veil, fake bloody knee from the inevitable inebriated stumble and carrying my shoes like any tourist does, at least ...

Nightlife Podcast: Mark Farina
Let’s talk about mushrooms. DJ/producer Mark Farina’s seventh installment of his Mushroom Jazz mix album series to be exact. He’ll be celebrating his latest release in Vegas November 3 at Eve Nightclub, and the Weekly caught up with him as he was signing a stack of the new albums for fans. Listening to the album, which will be out November 9, there’s great audio samples attempting to prove the case “for or against mushrooms.” What are those samples from? That’s ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: DJ Shadow
What should people expect from your Live from the Shadowsphere tour stop? My visual guy, Ben Stokes, and myself were trying to come up with a show that would be completely different. I just feel like if you’ve ever gone to a DJ show and felt underwhelmed or like it was just somebody onstage pumping a fist at you, we try and do the antithesis of that. We try and make it an experience and a real audio/visual feast. Endtroducing….. ... Read more...

Recap: #Twitterati @BlushNightclub in need of a Twittervention?
Nightlifers need a Twittervention. But, like many addicts, we want to be among like individuals, all obsessed with 140-character updates. Hence the party at Blush celebrating Vegas’ most influential tweeps, i.e. those than can’t put their damn phones down, even at an outing. And I was on the list and guilty as charged. I arrived at the boutique nightclub after a nightmare drive thanks to freeway construction, a killer storm, a malfunctioning railroad crossing and general tardiness. I received my ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Second Sun
A lot of people don’t understand that not everyone who performs in a DJ booth is a DJ. For your October 23 gig at Rain (doors at 11 p.m., $30), what will clubgoers experience from you and Adam White? Yeah, that’s pretty much the biggest misconception with Second Sun. We’re not DJs; we’re a live act. We’re playing all our own songs and remixes live onstage. It just sort of feels like a DJ set because we don’t stop between ... Read more...

Mau5 and me: An interview with Deadmau5
Back in the days before Deadmau5 was rocking the VMAs and being recognized throughout the world, he was slated to play New Year’s Eve at the now-defunct Empire Ballroom. His tracks on Beatport, plus that mau5head in press shots caught my attention. This guy seemed like he was going places and would be perfect for our New Year’s issue. Calling Deadmau5 (a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman) directly to coordinate a day and time for the full phone interview, he sounded as if ... Read more...
