Not so Fabulous

Halloweekend just got a little less electric. Fabulous Fest was slated to return to the Orleans Arena this year for an October 30 Pimp-N-Ho’lloween-themed bash featuring DJs Bad Boy Bill, Eddie Halliwell, Sunnery James and Vegas’ own Afghan Raiders, but, alas, the fabulousness has left the building. The fest, put on by Amsterdam-based Art of Dance, is officially canceled, leaving electronic-music heads and two stages of DJs without a party home. The Weekly has confirmed that primary event coordinator Mauritus ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Tocadisco

Are you a Tocadisco fan who’s bummed he’s never performed in Vegas? Be bummed no more… kinda. The German house-music DJ/producer headlines the Nocturnal Festival September 25 in San Bernardino, Calif. But before you meet up with tens of thousands of other electronic-music fans, we caught up with him to chat about the attention large-scale dance-music events have been receiving this year, his new artist album, “2 Many Shots of Jägermeister,” and more. Here’s a few excerpts: It’s the same ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Pete Tong

Vegas is the new Ibiza? We’ve heard that before. But DJ Pete Tong has quite a different perspective. Taking the first break ever from his summer residency on the Spanish island, he’ll be in Vegas for Kaskade Sundays September 5 at Encore Beach Club. “If you could think of the Winter Music Conference pretty much running for three to four months on a cycle, that gives you kind of some idea of the scale of [summer in Ibiza].” “From a ...

Nightlife Podcast: Donald Glaude

If Mick Fleetwood had a brother from another mother who stepped into a DJ booth, he might be Donald Glaude. Completely different generations, unrelated styles of music, same crazy facial expressions. DJ/producer Glaude often steps out from behind the booth to connect with the crowd, dreads flying as he headbangs to house music. Download the free Nocturnal Admissions podcast with Donald Glaude as he chats about his love for Cheetos, those crazy facial expressions plus playing Glamorous at the Palms ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Chuckie

Dirty Dutch! No, we’re not insulting Suriname-born, Holland-cultivated DJ/producer Chuckie; his Dirty Dutch music has caught on around the world. Taking a momentary break from whirlwind touring, he caught up with the Weekly last week before heading to Vegas. You’re going to be playing the Beatport Beach Party at Tao Beach August 22. You’ve been to Vegas before. What do you think of our city? It’s like Disneyland for adults — I love it. There’s nothing out there like Las ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Avicii

Don’t even think about buying shots for Avicii to toast his fast-rising success. The Swedish DJ/producer doesn’t turn 21 until September and pretty much will be confined to the DJ booth. But the prodigy also known as Tim Bergling has embarked on his first world tour and spins at Wet Republic’s Daylife Sundays August 15 (doors at 11 a.m., free for locals before 2 p.m., $20 and up). Download the full interview with Avicii in the Nocturnal Admissions podcast here. ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Joachim Garraud

Vive la keytar! For the first time, French DJ, producer and songwriter Joachim Garraud is coming to Las Vegas, keytar, alien masks and Space Invader stickers in tow. At least that the regular M.O. around the world for the man who’s worked with the likes of David Guetta, Moby and Steve Aoki. Here’s why you do NOT want to miss one of our favorite DJs live Friday at Surrender as he brings you new music from outer space (doors at ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: ATB

Vegas, get ready for a dose of “Ecstasy”—as in one of the hit club tracks by André Tanneberger, better known as ATB. He’s built quite a catalog since then and now ranks as one of the top DJ/producers in the world. Fresh off the release of Sunset Beach DJ Session, he’ll be taking over Rain nightclub every Saturday in August for a guest residency. “I know that Las Vegas is really special,” says the German native ATB, who even renewed ...

National Tequila Day is July 24… and why I won’t be celebrating

I discovered a colorful trail of racing stripes down the passenger side of my car one morning. The medium? What previously were the contents of my stomach. Why were they on the passenger side? My date had to drive me home in my own car. Why he didn’t have his car to drive me home in, I don’t recall. Maybe I had picked him up that night. Minor details. One evening, sometime around the time I was still in the ... Read more...

Nightlife Podcast: Trent Cantrelle

The Los Angeles-based New Orleans native spins July 29 at Vanity for Godskitchen ($20 and up, free for ladies and locals on the guest list). I’ve been doing the music bit for a good 15 years now, maybe a little more. I’ve always loved any form of dance music or electronic music, from Front 242 to Depeche Mode, Erasure and all that… I always naturally went to the more electronic side of music. I guess it’s just in my heart; ... Read more...
