THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Another year falls behind us and the New Year lies ahead, brimming with opportu-nity and possibility. I have a great feeling about 2013, and all the potential it holds. NiteGuide continues to grow by leaps and bounds, attracting top of the line musical entertainment and continually covering the best in nightlife. In this issue we have a great music section that features two new albums, a great rock and roll band, one of my personal favorite DJs and great event coverage of The Ag-grolites, Chuckie, and Feed Me. We also have great New Year’s Eve coverage of Insomniac’s Winter Wonderland, the best NYE bashes on the strip, and countless club coverage in Los Angeles. With all of these amazing parties going off to celebrate the New Year, 2013 is already shaping up to be a year to remember. Enjoy our issue!Nicole Lloyd Director of Operations

Clear Channel Media operates as the leading media company in

America, offering digital and broadcast radio that stretches into

multiple genres and reaches millions of listeners on a weekly ba-

sis. Their grasp on innovative programming tightens with the success of

Evolution on iHeartRadio, and the recently launched broadcast version,

Evolution 101.7 in Boston.

The two incarnations of Evolution demonstrate Clear Channel’s commit-

ment to both listeners and artists. With the iHeart station launch in No-

vember 2012 and the broadcast version following in December, the new

stations drive the popularity of EDM in America to the mainstream. The

iHeart version followed after two prior EDM stations – ESS and Trancid

– set a precedent for electronic music lovers. Evolution will serve as the

“Mothership” station, allowing the other outlets to focus on the deeper

sub-genres of EDM.

Leading the charge as the official host is EDM legend and the face of BBC

Radio 1’s Essential Mix, Pete Tong. “Pete Tong is an electronic music icon,

and his ability to recognize and break emerging artists is well known. Pete

is able to lend his credibility as an EDM tastemaker to Evolution, so it was

a no-brainer,” says Polomski.

The launch party for the iHeartRadio station featured a five-day studio

takeover by Tong and a live performance by Afrojack. Now that the two

stations are in full swing, the format is poised for a rotation of guest hosts

that include Diplo, Wolfgang Gartner, Fatboy Slim, Roger Sanchez, Manu-

factured Superstars, Eats Everything and more. Exclusive content from

Swedish House Mafia’s final tour is also slated to air.

“We want to continue to introduce new music to our audience and you will

definitely see this genre continue to resonate with listeners,” says Polom-

ski. “We plan to utilize on-air and digital platforms, as well as live events, to

introduce our listeners to this style of music and to give DJs the opportu-

nity to share their sounds.”

The 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival pulled in electronic powerhouses

Swedish House Mafia, deadmau5 and Calvin Harris and surprised the

pop fest with guest appearances from Tong and Steve Aoki. The warm

reception of EDM artists at a genre-spanning music festival only further

validated the need for an electronic radio offering in America. Clear Chan-

nel notes the success of EDM artists, with Polomski stating that “[EDM

performances at iHeartRadio Music Festival] were highlights for many of

our listeners and viewers. After the success of our Afrojack performance at

our iHeartRadio Theater in Tribeca, we will be looking to do more Evolution

live events in 2013.”

“Clear Channel is dedicated to be-ing the place for music variety and discovery. We are proud that Evolu-tion is another way to bring new mu-sic to our listeners and that it creates awareness to those who haven’t been exposed to EDM before.” Adéllyn Po-lomski, Program Director for Evolution

The Oak Roasted Salmon Filet, placed in the center of an Asian salad and

sprinkled with edamame and offset by cucumber and ponzu sauce, is one of the

mouthwatering dishes that Sammy’s Woodfire Pizza has recently brought back to

Imagine a restaurant that exudes a cozy atmosphere, delectable dishes, and an as-

tonishing wine selection, but is simultaneously accommodating to those with health

concerns and dietary needs. As soon as I opened the door to enter the original

Sammy’s Woodfire Pizza in La Jolla, the aroma of freshly baked bread and mouth-wa-

tering spices filled the air, reinforced with fresh ingredients and healthy entrée options.

Sammy’s recently revamped their menu by bringing back many original recipes that

were missed by guests when they introduced a new menu last summer. “Custom-

ers drive our business and we have to react and listen to them. That’s what we’re all

about,” Executive Corporate Chef Jeff Moogk stated when I asked about the motiva-

tion to bring back their original menu. “We brought back many of our dishes, such

as our Chinese Chicken Salad, Lobster Mac & Cheese, and Tai Chicken Satays with

peanut sauce.”

I began the evening with the succulent Mini Duck Tacos, topped with feta, tomato,

cabbage, and a fresh cilantro sauce. It became quite clear to me upon my first bite

that Sammy’s prides itself on their use of fresh, sustainable ingredients. I then tried the

Japanese Style Chicken Meatballs garnished with a deliciously sweet pickled cucum-

ber salad, and finished off the appetizer round with freshly made hummus paired with

warm, grilled herb flatbread.

Next, I was brought a delectable Balsamic Grilled Chicken salad, with gorgonzola,

walnuts, and fresh basil all tossed over a beautiful selection of mixed greens and

drizzled with a Balsamic Vinaigrette that perfectly tied all the flavors together into a

mouth-watering combination. While all this in itself sounds like a perfectly satisfying

meal, it was just the tip of the iceberg. The creamy Brie Cheese & Truffle Oil Thin Crust

Pizza, topped with sautéed mushrooms was an indulgent delight. The crispy French-

style crust was more of a tart than pizza dough, which made this dish seem like a meal

served in an upscale Parisian café.

What I loved most about the pizza is that it came with additional options for the health-

conscious consumer, including gluten-free or whole wheat crust, nonfat mozzarella

cheese, and Daiya vegan cheese. “We first started out with a gluten free pizza crust

about eight years ago, way before it hit the trend. I did some investigating and finally

we came up with one that held up well and came out crispy, and it’s really taken off.

After that we just added more and more items,” Chef Moogk said.

I ended the night with the Oak Roasted Salmon Filet, placed in the center of an Asian

salad and sprinkled with edamame, offset by cucumber and ponzu sauce. Never in

my life have I tasted salmon so tender with such a unique, roasted flavor. This dish

definitely left me feeling content and was the perfect dish to top off the entire meal.

As a dessert enthusiast with a huge sweet tooth, I couldn’t leave without trying a bite

of Sammy’s famous Messy Sundae, topped with chocolate and caramel sauce, crispy

walnuts, and of course, whipped cream. As I said my “goodbyes” and rolled out the

door (I was much too full to even walk), I couldn’t help but smile as I could hardly re-

member the last time I’d enjoyed such truly satisfying and wonderful food.

Hyde Bellagio is quickly becoming one

of the most sought-after premier nightlife

destinations in Las Vegas and it’s not hard

to see why. With hands-down the best

possible view of the Bellagio’s iconic foun-

tains, Hyde was specifically built around

showcasing Las Vegas’ most celebrated

landmark. Seamless indoor/outdoor space

and floor-to-ceiling windows allow for ex-

pansive views and changes in environment

while maintaining the same flow throughout

the nightclub. Hyde combines metropolitan

flair with old-world Italian villa touches, of-

fering a classier nightlife experience than

the packed clubs.

Two bars can be found at the heart of the

venue, adhering to an award-winning mix-

ology program with bartenders serving up

drinks with focus and intensity. The Snow

Flake is a perfect example of the creativ-

ity coming out from behind the bar. Served

in a liquid nitrogen “frosted” glass with Ci-

roc coconut, Malibu, white cranberry juice,

simple syrup, lemon juice, and coconut

“snowflakes,” this drink perfectly embodies

Hyde’s crisp, fresh look.

Located in the heart of West Hollywood,

Greystone Manor is setting the bar high

for supper clubs all across America. With

its neoclassical mansion-inspired décor

incorporating heavy uses of woodwork,

ornate moldings and real gold-leaf gates,

the nightclub emits a high-class image

in a rather intimate setting. From the en-

trance foyer to the chandelier-lit ballroom,

Greystone Manor evokes the feeling of

being at an exclusive private-estate party.

Velvet sofas and tufted-leather couches

line the VIP areas where celebrities are

often found enjoying the sounds of the

worlds top DJs, while a small center dance

floor gives life to captivating aerial perform-

ers and state of the art sound and light

production.

With a service standard to match, the liba-

tions flowing from the two large bars bor-

dering the room are finely poured works

of art. Belvedere Vodka mixed with freshly

squeezed lime juice, champagne, fresh

strawberries and a mint garnish make up

the alluring Champagne Cocktail, which

is sure to start your nostalgic night off the

right way.

American Fish located inside Aria Hotel &

Casino, brings a touch of the great outdoors

to an ever-changing and growing Sin City. As

the fifth restaurant in Las Vegas by Michael

Mina, American Fish, combines inspira-

tion from the nation’s great waterways and

woodlands, with modern day cityscape to

create a dining experience unlike any other.

Rustic American décor embraces the cabin-

like comfort and familiarity while still main-

taining the refined finesse of what you would

expect from a Las Vegas restaurant.

Aside from the atmosphere, the cooking and

mixing methods take on a more traditional

country approach as well. Each dish is pre-

pared in one of four signature cooking meth-

ods scarcely found in Las Vegas restaurants:

salt baking, wood grilling, cast iron griddling,

and ocean-water poaching. Even drinks date

back to before the 1900’s, like the Sloe Gin

Fizz, which combines egg whites with sloe

gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda

to form this classic, light and frothy delicacy.

It takes a certain level of fortitude and hardihood to feel comfortable in one’s own skin; to have enough

self-assurance to really relax in what others may find indulgent. In a day and age where strength is mea-

sured by the grip of a fist or the coarseness of a beard, Stoli has loosened its firm hold on pure Russian

Vodka just enough to let the sweet and savory notes of caramel toffee seep beneath the skin. That being

said, Stoli Salted Karamel is the perfect balance of strength, suppleness, and refinement.

Joining Stoli’s new line of indulgent offerings, Stoli Salted Karamel is the first of its kind, combining the

unique flavor of golden-brown caramel with a touch of saltiness. Stoli Salted Karamel evokes the rich taste

and aroma of caramelized sugar and English toffee while still keeping the bold characteristics of wheat

cultivated in Russia’s black soil Tambov region.

Adding a subtle twist to Stoli’s premium vodka, Stoli Salted Karamel is a well rounded liquor that is delicate

enough to mix, yet strong enough on the rocks to make a statement. Whether it is mixed is mixed into a

Black/White Russian or served dry in a Salted Karameltini, the common denominator is a slight saltiness

that draws out the caramel flavor for a creamy texture. This combination makes for a pleasantly stiff drink

with a smooth finish that is perfect for any winter gathering or an intimate night in front of the fireplace.

Matt Pearson grew up in Portland, Oregon, and after traveling to Las Vegas to visit family, he found himself falling for Sin City’s night-life scene. Now a VIP Host at one of the top clubs on the strip, Matt proudly calls Las Ve-gas home.

NiteGuide Magazine: Did you feel immedi-ately at home, or did it take some time to be-come immersed in Vegas’ fast-paced night-club scene?Matt Pearson: It was a big lifestyle change for me. I was living in Spain managing a small pub for a few years prior to Vegas. Once I figured out how to navigate around the city and the service industry, I had no problem hopping into the fast lane.

NGM: What makes your venue different from other venues?MP: Out of the top nightclubs in Las Vegas, TAO is the only one that has an amazing res-taurant equal to the size of the nightclub. Be-cause we offer club goers the opportunity to

dine until 1 am on certain nights before head-ing into the club, it’s the complete nightlife package. Although TAO has a ton of “wow” factors and features, hands down our cus-tomer service is what sets us apart.

NGM: How can a VIP Host alter a nightclub experience for partygoers?MP: A good host brings energy to every table and helps heighten the overall experience. A host is there to tailor the perfect night for you and to be there throughout the evening to make sure you leave having experienced the best that Vegas has to offer.

NGM: What’s the most outrageous request you’ve had from a guest?MP: After seven years here at TAO, the list is endless in all areas of outrageousness. Re-quests for exotic animals at the table in the club, and a request to have a skydiver land at TAO Beach with a big bottle of champagne are the two that are among the best. But, the list goes on and on.

NGM: Can you offer any insight on finding your way into a busy nightclub?

MP: The best way to experience a Vegas nightclub is to start by connecting with a host. From there, my advice is to get a table with bottle service. From start to finish you will have a special and amazing experience that just can’t be matched. Additionally, it is always best to show up early in order to beat the crowds.

Amber Nichole Miller elevates the nightclub

experience at Hyde Bellagio. Born and raised

in Colorado, Amber works at one of Sin City’s

most sought after venues and prides herself on

keeping energy up, and nightlife mischievous.

NiteGuide Magazine: Please tell us about

Hyde, and what makes it standout in Sin City?

Amber Nichole Miller: My official title is Cus-

tomer Development but I like to call it “Fun En-

forcer.” My job is to ensure that each guest is

greeted and receives the best possible service.

I also encourage dancing, shots, and a party

atmosphere.

NGM: Is it fair to say it takes a certain type of

personality to be successful in the fast-paced

nightlife industry?

ANM: In nightlife you have to be a high energy,

positive, outgoing, personable person that en-

joys late nights, crowds and loud music!

NGM: Do you feel like you are responsible for

the atmosphere of the evening, or does the en-

tertainment shoulder much of the vibe?

ANM: I think the atmosphere of the clubs rests

on everyone’s shoulders; starting with the host

that books the table, door people, security,

DJs, servers, bussers, management, Go-Go

dancers, and myself. We are a team and a

family, we all work together to make our club

successful each night.

NGM: What’s the craziest night at Hyde you’ve

experienced to date?

ANM: Our last XIV party was probably the

most successful and crazy night I have experi-

enced to date! We throw a themed party once

a month called XIV (the sibling to XIV Sum-

mer Sessions in Los Angeles) and our slogan

is “Save Water Spray Champagne.” Our last

party I witnessed over 50 bottles sprayed into

the crowd - it was amazing!

NGM: Can you share something about Hyde

that people would not generally expect?

ANM: The energy and ambiance of the club

cannot be described in words... Once you

have experienced it yourself you will never for-

get the way it made you feel.

Taylor Jaymin’s world revolves around music. The DJ/producer and SoCal native loves thrill-ing the crowd with his genre spanning beats and relentlessly seeks out the best in new sounds. Jaymin sat down with NiteGuide to discuss crowd connection, venue preference, and flash mobs.

NiteGuide Magazine: Tell us about your style of music.

Taylor Jaymin: I love playing tech, electro and big room house. There are some venues I play at where the crowd wants to hear more top 40 electro mash-ups so I can play those if I need to.

NGM: How did you know DJ’ing was the right career for you?TJ: I knew it was the right career for me be-cause nothing makes me happier than playing and producing music. I love connecting with people through music.

NGM: How do you keep a crowd engaged?TJ: I keep the crowd engaged by slowly build-ing the energy up in the room, drop a few hard tracks then slowly bring it back down. Reading the crowd and knowing what genre of music I need to be playing is obviously key. Also there is a proper way to open for big name DJ’s or close the night out yourself.

NGM: What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve encountered while DJ’ing?TJ: The most outrageous thing I have seen while DJ’ing is hard to narrow down, but it was probably when a flash mob of guys dressed up like nuns came in and danced to one track and

bounced right when it was done.NGM: Where are your favorite places to play?TJ: A couple of my favorite places to play are the California Love Pool Party at the Palms pool in Las Vegas because I love playing at pool parties and my boys at Till Dawn Group throw an awesome event there every Saturday during the summer, we always have a good time! Yost Theater in Santa Ana because it’s a bigger venue for Orange County and the sound and light systems are sick. Also the Ar-tisan hotel in Las Vegas because they have a fun afterhours spot.

NGM: When and where can our readers catch you performing?TJ: In the next couple of months in Orange County I’ll be at Yost Theater, Hurricanes, Sharkeez, Woody’s Wharf, Detroit Bar, Shark Club, Posch and La Cave. I will also be in LA, San Diego, Las Vegas and Arizona. Check out my Facebook page for exact dates on all my upcoming shows www.facebook.com/tay-lorjaymin and my SoundCloud page to down-load musicwww.soundcloud.com/taylorjay-min.

Gracie McClain loves to dance. When she’s

not go-go dancing at SoCal’s top clubs and

raves, she’s trying her hand at Zumba or

kickboxing. Gracie loves Dubstep and isn’t

afraid to get decked out for a show – even

if it means getting dressed up from head to

toe in colorful paint.

NiteGuide Magazine: How did you be-

come a go-go dancer?

Gracie McClain: I started off taking ballet,

jazz, hip hop, and tap classes and when I

turned eleven I started belly dancing. I re-

member going to my first rave and seeing

go-go dancers for the first time and thinking

to myself, “these girls are beautiful, I have to

do this!” From then on every rave I went to

after that I tried to look like a go-go dancer.

I would post pictures in my outfits on face-

book and I started getting messages for

bookings. It’s all about networking. I started

off dancing at really small clubs and small

rave events and now I’ve danced at some of

the nicest clubs in LA and Orange County.

NGM: Can you share a memory of a particu-

larly rowdy evening when performing?

GM: My favorite night ever dancing would

probably be dancing for Tommy Lee’s set

at Hard Haunted Mansion a couple of years

ago. We were body painted and the crowd

that night was insane. All of the Motive

events I’ve danced for have been so much

fun. I love dancing at clubs, but I love the

energy and the music at raves.

NGM: What’s the difference between a good

go-go dancer, and a great go-go dancer?

GM: The difference between a good go-go

dancer and a great go-go dancer is that a

great go-go dancer can actually dance! I’ve

seen so many places hire really pretty girls

that look good in a bikini, but when you

turn the music on they barley move. For me

a great go-go dancer has a lot of energy,

looks amazing in a bikini, and knows how

to pump up a party yet remain professional

at all times.

NGM: What’s the best part of dancing?

GM: For me the best part of go-go dancing

is dancing alone on my go-go box. It’s thera-

peutic for me; I just forget about everything

and get lost in the music. It’s an adrenaline

high like nothing else I’ve ever experienced.

When I go to a club I would rather be danc-

ing in my go-go boots and bikini than high

heels and a dress.

Melbourne is the sec-ond largest city in Australia and while

it shadows Sydney in size, it thrives with a nightlife scene all its own. Navigate the nu-merous pubs that pack to full capacity over the weekend, or discover adventurous night-clubs in hidden lofts. Experi-ence Melbourne’s legendary music scene that showcases everything from rock to jazz, and enjoy local brews with friends at rooftop bars or beer gardens. No matter where the crowds take you, be sure to check in at the infamous Southbank promenade. The path stretches along the south side of the Yarra River and offers a multitude of ca-fé’s, shopping, and nightlife options. Melbourne creates an ideal environment to grab a drink, take in live music, and spend the early morning dancing the night away.

sivity. Having earned the prestigious Australian Bar Award for Nightclub of

the Year, Eve attracts the “who’s who” of Southbank with its opulent décor

and its upscale fashionable clientele. The interior is inspired by the last days

of disco and mixes subtle and rich colors for a sense of sexy underground

glamour.

Der RaumIntimate, cozy, and hip are three words that accurately describe Der Raum

(“The Room”). Since it’s not exactly a direct take on the average Bavarian

Beer hall, Der Raum delivers beyond the beer list with thoughtfully con-

cocted cocktail creations made only with the freshest of ingredients. You

won’t find any cordials, syrups or pre-mixed drinks here. Der Raum insists

on using freshly pressed fruits instead of juices, so the drink menu typically

reflects what ingredients are in season. Bartenders here get experimental

with the drinks they sling, and patrons welcome the innovation. Though

slightly expensive, the freshness of the ingredients and the creativity of the

cocktails make each drink worth every penny.

Gin PalaceFrequented by a suited-up, professional crowd, Gin Palace is the quintes-

sential plush basement bar for those who work hard and play harder. There

are over a dozen types of gins and even more martinis. The décor is made

up of velvet, dim lighting and mis-matched colors that work together to cre-

ate a surprisingly chic atmosphere. While the emphasis is obviously on gin,

non-gin cocktails also shine in this palace.

Melbourne Supper ClubMasculine, wood-finished, and charmingly weathered, Melbourne Sup-

per Club is perhaps the centerpiece in the city’s fantastic bar scene. The

long room bar has been described as “junk-shop chic” and is known for its

extensive wine list, great food, and classic cocktails. A huge semicircular

window overlooking Parliament House is one of the best lookout points to

enjoy a drink. The old-world vibe makes it easy to relax, enjoy a cocktail,

and light up a cigar.

Golden MonkeyGolden Monkey is inspired by 1920’s opium dens in Shanghai, and the win-

ner of multiple bar awards over several years. Chinese-style furniture and

dim lighting give a moody ambiance to the place. Inventive cocktails with

intriguing names dominate the drink menu, and Asian-inspired finger foods

make for tasty share plates. The place is most lively on the weekends, but

Tuesdays offer exciting Opium Jazz nights.

Baroq HouseIt’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Baroq house such a stunning ven-

ue. The three-level bar is one of the most stylish venues in Melbourne and

one of the most exclusive. Locals call it The Mansion because of its size and

impressive décor. The main room exudes opulence, and the basement has

a somewhat retro vibe. Wine, champagne and spirits are abundant in this

establishment, and the cocktails are carefully crafted to perfection.

T he D Las Vegas Casino, formally The Fitzgerald, has

revolutionized into a fun, energetic atmosphere where

modern meets vintage, creating a perfect collaboration

to enliven any visit to downtown Las Vegas.

The unique two-floor casino is a prime vantage point for the

Fremont Experience Light and Sound show delivered on the

world’s largest screen with over 12.5 million LED lights. Live

action on Fremont Street can be viewed from the D-bar, where

grabbing a drink is transformed into a spectacle with talented

bartenders juggling bottles as they prepare any of their frozen

or specialty cocktails.

Entering the trendy downstairs casino, guests will be intro-

duced to a new gaming experience. Jaw-dropping, sultry danc-

ers move to the rhythm of the hottest beats while fun-seekers

are dealt the next hand. The longest bar in Nevada, Longbar,

stretches across the downstairs with 15 60” TV’s for the ul-

timate sport viewing pleasure. If trendy and modern aren’t

appealing, upstairs the scenery is transformed into a vintage

casino offering classic Las Vegas games in a sleek, new style.

The third and final drink destination, Vue Bar, is upstairs with

a patio overlooking the excitement of Fremont Street and an

extensive beer menu that won’t leave a single person thirsty.

Entertainment is top notch at the D. Guests can participate in

an award-winning interactive comedy, “Marriage Can Be Mur-

der,” while they enjoy a delectable 3-course meal.

The newest hotspot is serving a wide array of eclectic dishes

from gourmet cuisine at Don B Steakhouse to an award-win-

ning menu at Courtyard Grill. Detroit’s legendary Coney Island

Restaurant established its first location out of its home state at

the D.

It’s time to say farewell to The Fitz and enter a new world of

fresh exhilarating pleasures where the excitement is limitless.

Hidden in the back corner of the Papaya

King on the corner of Hollywood and

Wilcox, there is an inconspicuous yel-

low door that deserves more veneration than it

garners. This yellow door, despite its lackluster

appearance and offbeat location, plays a custo-

dial role in entering the shrouded world of The

Sayers Club. Like any honorable speakeasy, the

whereabouts of The Sayers Club is hazy, its cli-

entele exclusive, and the tales of its happenings

are whispered from mouth to ear.

Setting foot into the eclectic speakeasy fuses the

Roaring Twenties with today’s contemporary life-

style. Adorned with Afghan rugs, tufted leather

sofas, raw steel and Edison lighting, The Sayers

Club evokes a homey yet fortified environment

that won’t soon be disturbed by a lurking prohibi-

tion agent. Although the decor plays a major role

in the allure, the essence of any good speakeasy

is of course, the bar. The Sayers Club does not

offer a dining menu, but instead devotes all of

its creativity towards concocting--you guessed

it--drinks. In addition to the usual bar offerings,

The Sayers Club boasts an assortment of hand-

crafted specialty cocktails that accompany any

intimate conversation perfectly.

Though the delectable drinks keep patrons sip-

ping below the ice, it might be a good idea to

pace yourself. The secluded atmosphere is privy

to the industry elite and, more importantly, spon-

taneous performances from music’s finest. On

any given night, but usually early morning, the

club’s retractable stage may unfold to reveal a

live, off-the-cuff performance from the likes of

Nelly Furtado, 2Chainz and Prince. Although The

Sayers Club does not require guest list approval,

don’t hesitate to look your finest.

Located in coastal Solana Beach, the infamous indie venue known

as The Belly Up hosted a melting pot of people jamming out to

the B. Side Players and The Aggrolites on December 28th.

San Diego native’s B. Side Players played Latin soul tunes infused with

reggae. B. Side has played with the likes of Ben Harper, Ozomatli, The

Wailers, James Brown, War and some of Cuba’s best bands. Lead sing-

er, Karlos Paez, adorned with dreads almost down to the floor and tons

of tribal tattoos, sang deep from the heart, always keeping the Latin

vibe alive. Bongo players, trumpet players, guitars, and drums filled the

stage. As B. Side finished out their set, you could feel the anticipation in

the crowd for The Aggrolites to begin their show.

Once everyone took a break at intermission to catch up on some qual-

ity drinks from the bar, the Aggrolites stormed the stage. Fans began

cheering and pushing their way to the front. Expecting another dread-

ed-out lead singer, I was surprised to see the whole band carrying the

greaser look, but singing full, bold, “dirty reggae.” The Aggrolites had

an amazing stage presence, always checking up on the crowd, rocking

their guitars, playing as a unified, soulful reggae group. The crowd en-

joyed every second, knowing every single word from the bands ten year

stretch as a rockin’ reggae, ska band. As the show drew to a close, the

crowd emanated a genuine vibe of satisfaction.

After years of anticipation and isolated production, Proxy unleashes

his first full-length album on Dim Mak Records in North America

and Turbo Recordings worldwide. Music From The East Block

Jungles, Pt. 1 is filled with an eclectic mix of electro, bred within the pro-

paganda-strewn nation of Russia and well suited as the soundtrack of the

apocalypse.

Awaking from his hibernation with an onslaught of gritty dark techno,

Proxy created a sound consisting of hardcore riffs strewn with militaristic

beats that induce a feeling to revoke society and riot against, “The Man.”

From the gurgling acid house sound of “Revolution” to the punk derived

feelings of “Raven,” this producer shows no regards to current trends of

the industry. Each track continues to keep you guessing and showcases

a heavily diverse musical skill set. His productions are pure and artistic,

using music as a true form of expression, which seems to be lost in many

electronic acts these days.

With this sort of dance-or-die style, Proxy’s music infects its way into your

brainwaves and forces you to react. Although at times sounding like an

atomic bomb threat, the chaotic buildups and sudden outbursts of energy

contain an alluring euphoria that is hard to resist.

Grab your copy of Music From The East Block Jungles, Pt. 1 out now and

Pt. 2, February 11th. Also, keep up to date with the latest Proxy news at

Facebook.com/useproxy and www.dimmak.com.

Zsuzsanna Eva Ward is on the fast track to stardom. Better known as ZZ Ward, she

is one of 2012’s gems. Her bluesy soulful voice sounds similar to that of Amy Wine-

house and Adele with a hint of Alicia Keys. Her talents are adorned throughout her

recently released album, Til the Casket Drops.

Many songs revolve around love, and the ups and downs that define it. However, the

sounds that set the scenery don’t drag you into an emotional lull, but do just the opposite.

The hip hop-infused blues keeps your body and eardrums poised and ready for more. Lost

in the beautiful beats, it’s easy to overlook some of the dark, lustful lyrics Ward has written.

Songs, such as “Put the Gun Down” cry out for a preying woman to leave her man alone.

While others like “Criminal,” featuring Freddie Gibbs, pull listeners head on into the hip hop

world while taking us through the emotional theft sometimes felt at the end of a relation-

ship. “Cryin Wolf” featuring Kendrick Lamar has sewn in heavy guitar and drums, bringing

the blues to the front door of hip hop. The mixture of the genres on this LP is enticing.

The old school, soul-filled track “Charlie Ain’t Home” is a warm blanket of blues to wrap up

in. “Little Darlin,” featuring the O’mys is breath taking blues, telling the story of unattainable

desires. It’s one of those tracks you repeat a few times, similar to what you’ll be doing with

the entire album. Ward’s world of hip hop-infused blues is a great one to get lost in.

Miracles happen every day. Tash Neal, the voice and guitarist of London Souls, fell victim to a hit and run in late May that nearly claimed his life.

After a medically induced coma, brain surgery, a steel plate, and rehab, Neal feels his current tour and album verge on miraculous. With drummer

and vocalist Chris St. Hilaire at his side, the duo are touring the country in support of their new album, Here Come The Girls, due out January 8th.

“When I woke up from the coma they had removed half of my skull and then I lived through the whole summer without that part,” shares Neal. “Then I

finally got surgery and a plate. I couldn’t play for the longest time in my entire life. For a minute they

didn’t know if I would make it, and when I did, they didn’t know if I could play like I did –or ever play

shows again.”

Neal overcame adversity and picked up his instrument once again. The London Souls are known for

their 60’s take on the rock sound, creating rhythms that are comparable to a Hendrix style. Based on

their influences it’s no surprise the title of the new album comes from a late rhythm and blues artist out

of the 60’s.

“[The album title] came from an artist named Ernie K. Doe, he had a song called ‘Here Come the Girls’

that we listened to on our last tour before I had my accident, that we just loved,” says Neal. “We worked

on it for about five months before we recorded the record, some songs we have played live but a lot is

new material. Sixteen tracks, the whole thing was a joy and everything happened very easily creating

it. It was great.”

Anticipation builds among followers with interest in what to expect from the soon to be released album. The duo expresses excitement over the album,

and notes that while the sound is true to what London Soul fans would expect, there’s also fresh and out-of-the-box tracks.

“On the song, ‘Hercules,’ we had a lot of fun making it and it’s just something sonically that we haven’t had time to try before. Different instruments, and

songwriting. I’m proud of it.”

A miracle touched the London Souls, which saved the life of Neal, making it possible to bring the new album to the ears of music lovers. They will be tour-

ing with the North Mississippi Allstars nationwide, kicking off at the end of January.

“One of the journal-ists from Australia just freaked out, got naked, and starting running around the airplane... When the journalist got drunk, weird sh*t happened.”

Italian born Rocco Rampino, alias Congorock, has--under anyone’s standards--made it in the music business. Breaking through the sound barrier within

the fickle market of Electronic Dance Music, Rampino came, conquered, and is ready for more.

Since moving to LA in 2007, Rampino has worked his way from spinning weekend bar gigs to opening for Rihanna. Rampino attributes the start of his

success to signing with A-Trak’s record label Fool’s Gold early on and later to the release of his track “Babylon” in 2010. Rampino recently finished touring

with Rihanna on her 777 Tour where he opened Rihanna’s crowd for seven shows, in seven countries, for seven consecutive days.

Although he considers himself an advocate of the growing EDM market, Rampino still keeps one ear on the dancefloor--or underneath it rather. Scenesters

might find Congorock at an undisclosed after-hours warehouse party in downtown LA; the kind your friend overheard the DJ’s girlfriend drunkenly talking

about at the bar. On the horizon, Congorock has a number of collaborations in the works including tracks with Tommy Trash and GTA, and an album due

out in the not-so-distant future.

NiteGuide Magazine: How has your sound progressed since moving to LA?

Congorock: There is a commercial side of LA which motivates me, but at the same time there is an underground scene that is really inspiring. If you want

to follow the new trends in the underground, LA is the place to be. But if you want to do business with music it’s great because you get to meet a lot of

people. America has created a market for dance music that wasn’t even there; it’s pretty new and it needs to be communicated. The combination of these

two sides makes LA the place to be.

NGM: You recently finished the 777 Tour opening for Rihanna, which was rumored to be quite interesting. What was your take on the experience?

Congorock: It was the most exciting thing I’ve done because I’ve never had the chance to support such a big act. Getting recognition for what I’m doing

even if my music isn’t directly related to Rihanna, was nice. It was a good chance to play a lot of genres that I love but never get to play in a club.

NGM: What was the craziest thing that happened on tour?

Congorock: After the show in Berlin we immediately got back on the plane. The media tried to get a quote from Ri, but she was already asleep. One of

the journalist from Australia just freaked out, got naked, and starting running around the airplane... When the journalist got drunk, weird sh*t happened.

NGM: I know you still like to frequent the LA after-parties. What are the chances I’ll see you at the next downtown warehouse party?

Congorock: Just text me, I’ll be there.

Sweden’s newest EDM offering, Cazzette, broke new ground by releasing the first installment of their debut album, Eject, via Spotify. Rid-

ing the waves of success surrounding their performances, Alex Björklund and Sebastian Furrer continue to generate buzz and shake up

Electronic Dance Music, specifically with their genre-bending “dub-house” sound.

Intertwining the two genres came courtesy of the pair’s highly regarded manager and unofficial third member, Ash Pournouri of At Night Manage-

ment. Pournouri (credited with aiding in Avicii’s success) suggested the idea to Cazzette in the early stages of their career.

“We loved the concept [of dub house] and just kept on going down the same road; although looking back at it I may describe it more as an era of

Cazzette [rather] than our certain genre,” says Björklund .

Eject enables the group to explore new territory within the cracking pillars of electronic dance music. The album showcases a variety of different

styles beyond dub house that inspire the DJs, combining different tracks and crafting an album that mirrors a mixtape. The group recently played

The Avalon in Los Angeles in celebration of the new record, where security was forced to patrol the club due to capacity issues regarding an over-

flowing dance floor. Gearing their music toward diversity and crowd connection, count on Cazzette creating a ruckus in 2013.

NiteGuide Magazine: How did the mix tape head-wear come to be?

Alex Björklund: That was about bringing something extra to the shows. To play live is really cool but to give the fans something extra to talk

about is even cooler.

NGM: Does it get hot in there?

AT: You have no idea!

NGM: How does your “dub house” sound come together?

AT: Sometimes we have to work with beat tempo changes but most of the time it’s all about rhythm. It also requires that you listen to a lot of

different genres.

NGM: Congratulations on your new album Eject. What tracks are your favorites?

AT: “Beam Me Up (Kill-Mode)” will always be a huge favorite for us since we spent a lot of time on it. The time spent finishing it up in the studio

in LA with Ash was magical.

NGM: What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve seen on the road?

AT: Russian suga-mama in NYC at LAVO, and two people sexin’ it up in the crowd at a tent party in London, Ontario.

NGM: What’s in store for Cazzette in 2013?

AT: Keep moving forward and make things bigger. We have so many things going on, but we’re not really sure what we can and cannot tell

you guys right now.

NGM: You’ve got some big names in the industry supporting your work. If we need to drop a few names, David Guetta, Tiësto, and Swedish

House Mafia come to mind. How have they helped you along the way?

AT: These guys helped us out in the beginning when no one knew who we were. Thanks to Ash and the rest of our management they were

introduced to our sound and supported us in their radio shows and live sets, which of course means a lot to a newcomer and for that we’re

greatly appreciative.

Dance music is like a virus, mutating rapidly and responding well to conditional changes. Evolving since the early 1950’s jazz and blues scene,

there are now countless numbers of genres, sub-genres and even micro-genres within dance music culture, continuing to be spawned and

manipulated. YouTube and SoundCloud message boards are flooded with pointless debates on where every song fits into the filing cabinet

of music, while the musicians simply strive to reinvent themselves. Often genres are handed one of two fates; become flavor of the month and die

out, or rise to the top of this beat-hungry world.

Gramatik has established himself as one of these new, “kings of the beat jungle.” Alongside his friends at Pretty Lights Music (PLM), Gramatik has

been recreating soul music with a mind bending, electro funk. Adding aspects of live guitar and old-school drum samples to his trademark glitch-

hop sound, his tracks break apart from the streamlined forefront of electronic beats that EDM has been exposed to in recent years.

Another jazz infused electronic act, Big Gigantic, has been setting stages ablaze with their heavily induced saxophone drops and phenomenal live

drumming. The energy that these guys generate at a performance can be felt for days after. The emotion that goes into the live instruments helps to

break electronic music away from its, “they just press play” stereotype. A surprise gig at the 2012 Electric Forest in Rothbury, Michigan brought Big

Gigantic’s saxophonist Dominic Lalli, Gramatik and his fellow PLM crew member, Griz, to one stage creating: Grizmatik. This secret set has gone

down as one of the biggest events of last year and birthed a much anticipated album release.

Opiuo, MiMOSA & Polish Ambassador are just a few more of the names to be added to this years upcoming show calendar that cannot be missed.

These artists are pushing the limits of the electronic music scene on multiple levels, incorporating more than just music and creating a lifestyle.

As 2012 came to a close and local EDM fans sought out an after-hours club

to feed their hunger for dancing, The Avalon in Hollywood once again saved

the night –and technically the morning.

On Saturday, December 29th the venue was packed with liked minded indi-

viduals ready to celebrate Cazzette’s new album, and the amazing opening

talent. Kicking off the showcase was DJ Justin Jay (newest member of Dirty-

bird Records) with his ferocious two hour performance, setting the tone for the

crowd for the remainder of the night.

Australian DJ Bass Kleph then took the stage with an aggressive set that

brought audiences scrambling to the dance floor for some high energy, fist

pumping action. By the time Cazzette took the stage, the crowd was com-

pletely fired up and ready to party harder. The Swedish duo played a mix of

new music and classics until the early hours of the morning. Their performance

was nothing short of amazing, packed with astonishing lighting effects, fog

machines galore, and the incredible energy of the dance floor.

Cazzette’s show was the first of a three night New Year’s celebration at the

Avalon and despite the below average temperatures outside, the night was

a perfect success.

As the lights dimmed in the main room of the Yost Theater in Santa Ana on

Sunday, December 30th, there was nothing but good vibes and high spirits

amongst the crowd. The bright chandeliers slowly faded as the light onstage

drew attention to the up-and-coming Australian producer, Nick Thayer, who

started off the night with a high-energy set consisting of refreshing, diverse

new sounds. Thayer readied the crowd for the electronic onslaught of the

night’s headliner, with the energy pulsating and growing with each beat drop in

anticipation for the artist known as Feed Me.

Belching chants of his name shortly after midnight, the eagerly awaiting audience

roared in excitement as a large shadowy figured emerged from behind the DJ

booth. From there on out, Jon Gooch, aka Feed Me, had every person in the

room on a string, puppeteering the masses with his melodic transitions and

head-smashing drops. Fans of all sorts rushed the stage, filling the horizon with

their backlit camera-phones, snapping photos and videos in the hopes of taking

home some of the unhinged energy. Launching his set with his newest hit “Little

Cat Steps,” Feed Me delivered a performance that took listeners on a futuristic

journey through intricate sounds and floor destructing bass.

Engulfing the room with a cornucopia of glitches and tweaks paired with

polished baselines and melodies, Feed Me’s music shares the same timbre as

the awe-inspiring Wolfgang Gartner. Harnessing raw power and redirecting it

into a brilliant display of musical perfection, Feed Me offers an experience that is

a must for any EDM lover.

With their eyes set on some serious exposure, ten locally approved

house DJs battled it out on Friday, December 28th for the first ever,

“Fresh Meat – Battle of the DJs.” Hosted at The Detroit Bar in Costa

Mesa, competitors poured all they had into the decks as they fought for

their seat in the prestigious winner’s circle. Judged from a more techni-

cal standpoint rather than solely on crowd response, NYTEHYPE Enter-

tainment’s competition offered a unique opportunity for DJs of all rec-

ognition levels to showcase their mixing skills. Given three of the same

tracks and an allotted amount of time to play, each set was critiqued by

un-biased industry professionals on the categories of transition, song

selection, and overall performance.

Every performer had the crowd getting down on the dance floor, but only

one could be crowned king. DJ DFIB came out on top with a refresh-

ingly smooth and high-energy set that encompassed a blend of new-

age EDM with nostalgic favorites. Winning a paid gig at The New Epiq

Nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona, an interview with NiteGuide Magazine,

and a mix slot on both Power Tools Radio Show and Groove Radio,

EDM lovers will be seeing more of this guy soon.

As a part of their worldwide December tour, the Zeds Dead duo, Zack

Rapp-Rovan and Dylan Mamid, stopped at the House of Blues in San

Diego on one of the last legs of their month-long endeavor.

Crowned as one of the few survivors of the recent Dubstep apocalypse,

Zeds Dead has remained a focal point in today’s Bass music genre by

staying true to their foundation. The duo knew what the crowd came for;

dramatic, unrelenting dubstep. No games, no gimmicks--and that’s exactly

what the crowd got. Although Rapp-Rovan was the only one that took the

stage that night, he brought enough bass and emotion for two. Welding

a variety of bass heavy genres like Trap and Moombahton in addition to

both old and new original tracks, he had listeners singing every lyric. He

split his time on stage delivering pounding neck-breakers like “Rudeboy”

with climactic slow-jams like “White Satin.” This polar combination had the

crowd on their toes, transitioning from all out rage to stand-still euphoria.

Despite their name, Zeds Dead proved that night that Dubstep is in fact

alive and well. Zack played to the bitter end, pumping out bass until the

venue cut him off mid track. The satisfied crowd reluctantly left the venue

still charged from the night’s bass heavy and energetic auditory ride.

With long builds and melodic-heavy choruses, Trance DJs arguably work harder to keep an audience captivated, especially throughout

the late hours of the night. However, this wasn’t the case for Cosmic Gate’s stop at The Palladium. The event embarked attendees

upon a journey through space, time, and multidimensional sounds. Flowing rhythms and mind-bending synths made everything but

the music and energy inside the room feel obsolete. As the night entered into the morning hours, the crowd seemed to grow larger and even

more excited to squeeze out any ounce of energy they had with each drop of a new tune. Bone-chilling live vocal performances by Emma Hewitt

and Cary Brothers carried Cosmic Gate into the final moments of their set before W&W had the daunting task of closing out the night at 3 a.m.

Blending traditional trance flow with new house-style elements, the Dutch DJ duo has gathered quite a following. Willem van Hanegem and Ward

van der Harst of W&W shared their thoughts backstage on closing out the evening.

“Closing is always hard, but we’re just going to bang it out. Play all of our latest tracks and keep it going. We’re going straight to ‘Lift Off,’” com-

mented both Willem and Ward, dropping the name of their latest release that’s been grabbing Trance fan’s attention. “The best feeling is when you

finish a new track and you get a good reaction on the dance floor, that’s the best.”

Approachable and down to earth, Trance music’s newest innovators were pleased to win the Trance Anthem competition this year with their heavy-

hitting track, “Invasion.” W&W are hard at work shaping a new sound within the EDM community.

“We always wanted to make the anthem of the biggest trance party and when we finally had the chance to enter the competition, and then won,

we were super excited.” Continuing to ride out the success of their first album, biggest releases to date, and the birth of their own record label,

2012 has definitely treated the duo well. “We have a lot for 2013, a new track on Hardwell’s label and a lot of collaborations, but we can’t say too

much.”

Ty Chuckie Erupts yost Theater

On December 20th, a few hundred people made the decision to spend their

potential last few hours of life at the Yost Theater in Santa Ana to see DJ

Chuckie erupt the building with sound before the Mayan Gods could get to it

first. Prior to the supposed apocalypse, DJ Chuckie played a mind-blowing party that

was equipped with classic free LED light sticks, plenty of style, a thrilling atmosphere,

and his signature beats.

This Dutch DJ is no foreigner to American nightlife. Although he has performed all

over the states, including one of his most recent and memorable performances at

EDC Las Vegas 2012, DJ Chuckie did not down size his performance to comfortably

fit this much smaller venue. If anything, he crossed the line of “acceptable” and

presented “spectacular” by creating an exhilarating vibe barely obtainable by humans.

The partygoers were not the only ones having a good time. DJ Chuckie tweeted the

following morning about how happy he was making his fan’s night by providing free

snapbacks and most importantly, entertaining music.

The Yost has once again hosted one of the biggest DJs in EDM history. Don’t miss the

next one! Visit www.yosttheater.com for more information, and check out more photos

Over 10,000 runners glowing in neon colors crossed the starting line at the Elec-

tric Run’s inaugural run/walk at the Orange County Fairgrounds on Novem-

ber 30th. Participants were greeted by the evening’s hostess, model-actress

Carmen Electra, who counted down the first wave of runners at the start of the race.

Electronic dance music spun from an elevated DJ booth keeping energy levels high,

and though rain threatened to pour over the event earlier that day, the only things fall-

ing from above at the time of the race were neon-colored beach balls and glow sticks.

The runners in costume were the main attraction, many dressed beyond the glowing

bracelets and glasses that came with their registration packets. They sported glow in

the dark hoodies, animal ears, body paint, and even neon-lit streaks of hair. While it’s

safe to say that no one was competing to break a record in speed, there was plenty

of motivation to cross the finish line, where a full-blown post-run celebration presented

by Southern Comfort took place. International DJ’s Sultan & Ned Shepard performed

at the party, playing their hit single “Walls” while participants and onlookers alike cel-

ebrated the night in their glow gear.

eles HOLIDAy GROOVE GIVES BACK

The holiday season is the ideal time of year to give back to the community.

Groove Radio provides families hundreds of new, donated toys each year

through “The Holiday Groove.” This spectacular event benefits children in need

of holiday gifts and features some of the greatest names in EDM.

On December 5th, The 9th Annual Holiday Groove took place at Playhouse Nightclub

in downtown Hollywood. World-renowned DJs Chris James, Christopher Lawrence,

The Crystal Method, DJ Dan, The EC Twins, Shogun, Gabriel & Dresden, Kristina Sky,

Tommy Lee & Dj Aero, Trent Cantrelle and many more put on enthralling performances

inside the intimate venue, well into the early hours of the morning.

Groove Radio was founded by EDM staple Swedish Egil twenty years ago, who

combined music with the spirit of giving. “I love the music, the music keeps me

young,” Egil shared. “The Holiday Groove started with me wanting to put a bunch of

DJs on a show, all in one night, thirty minute sets each. So we started this nine years

ago in Beverly Hills.” From there, Egil collaborated with Spark of Love, an organization

that coordinates toy drives and donations, to put together one of the year’s best

charity events. “It’s two good things at the same time. I get to see all my friends in the

mix and we are helping out a toy drive as well,” says Egil.

The artists performed for live for Groove Radio alongside candy canes and Santa

Claus himself. The night provide constant flavor, with all of the acts hitting the stage

for half hour sets that kept the crowd on the dance floor throughout the night. ‘Tis the

season to party for a reason, and DJ Reza summed up the sentiment of the evening

by stating, “I’m so glad to be coming back to do this every year. It’s always so much

fun, and it’s for a great cause.”

White Wonderland returned once again to Southern California this New Year’s Eve to continue its reign as

the largest mandatory all-white party in America. With over 10,000+ attendees, the nearly five-acre room

inside the Anaheim Convention Center was a blizzard of bodies the moment the doors opened. Offering

two massive stages of music, spectacular theatrics, and state-of-the-art production, White Wonderland

created a blissful atmosphere to spend the last few hours of 2012.

The entire experience was extremely well thought out and showcased Insomniac’s high level of party

throwing know-how. Unlike many other similar events, partygoers were met by convenient, indoor lines,

which kept them out of the cold and close to the music as they underwent a fairly quick and hassle free

security check. Hues of purple, green, and blue filled the darkness where multiple bars, food vendors,

bathrooms, and water filling stations bordered the dance floors for easy access and avoided an over-

bearing wait. The overall layout and production values helped the flow of the night, much to the delight

of the attendees.

Dash Berlin, Ferry Corsten, and Darin Epsilon started things off in The Crystal Temple, laying down heavily

sedative trance tracks from an intricate crystal stage design, before handing over the attention to Tritional

and the highly anticipated legends, Above & Beyond. The Hallowed Cathedral was home to many of the

biggest names in house music, and arguably EDM in general. Hardwell, Avicii, and the young blood Mad-

eon tore up the decks like there was no tomorrow, dropping hit after hit and keeping the energy high until

Bingo Players took the stage for the countdown to midnight. An explosion of fireworks and excitement

welcomed thousands of happy faces into the New Year, lead by none other than Sebastian Ingrosso.

We all know how easily a night out can turn sour thanks to some silly, avoidable mistake like forgetting to charge your phone or leaving your

ID at home. A successful night begins before you ever set foot outside the door, and only a minor amount of organization needs to occur to

ensure just that. Whether it’s a romantic dinner date or wild night on the town, NiteGuide has created a top five checklist for an enjoyable and

stress-free evening.

Hydrate & nourishAn empty stomach is the foundation for a disastrous night. Always drink plenty

of water and have a substantial meal before heading out for an evening. Alcohol

and caffeine cause dehydration, which leads to fatigue, low blood pressure, and

sickness. If a Red Bull and vodka is on the agenda for the night, make sure to eat

and hydrate.

MindstateThe decision to have a great

night is made before you

leave the house. Put on some

feel good music and decide

right now that the reason

you’re going out is to have an

amazingly fun time, no matter

what happens.

Contact MyClubSceneLeave the stress of planning your night to the professionals.

MyClubScene is Southern California’s premier nightlife con-

cierge for birthday and bachelor/bachelorette parties. They do

the work, so you can enjoy a night out! Options range from VIP,

free express entry, discount ticketing, bottle service, party bus

and limo planning. Servicing LA, Orange County, San Diego and

Vegas! Contact [email protected] or call/text (714) 393-

5944.

Pre-pack

Lay out all the items, clothing and accessories you need for the evening on your bed at

least 20-30 minutes before the time you need to start getting ready. Ensure everything

is charged and in it’s place, and double check that your ID is exactly where it should be.

And don’t forget to carry a phone number for a cab company.

Social LubricationIt’s difficult, even for the most social person, to go from sitting on the computer

surfing the web, to being out around hundreds of people ready to jump into

interaction. Strike up conversation with people on the way to your destination or

invite friends over to pre-game and save some cash before hitting the bars. The

secret to an amazing night often hinges on the pre-party.
