I'm one of the resident DJs at The Colony for wednesday nights. If you come early, with women, it's not too hard to get in. I usually drop some deep and sexy tech house / disco tech early before getting into more commercial stuff later on. The music policy is definitely commercial-friendly house but it doesn't usually get super cheesy (depends on the headliner) and we'll usually play some good vocal progressive stuff. If you're a fan of SHM, Kaskade, you'd enjoy the music. If you think they're sellouts you probably won't ;-).
They have started doing bigger bookings at the Colony lately, such as Paul Harris, Nathan Scott, Dave Aude, James Doman, and they've got Dirty Vegas (all three of em) coming in...
As for the crowd, it's definitely very good looking but it's not an educated crowd and they don't always dance to what they should. That being said, the club is pretty big and has a small central dancefloor so the people that do want to dance are usually on the dancefloor. It's a really fun party, they've got Kryo, lasers and great lighting, and Funktion one sound (sounds great but can't get too loud due to the half-outdoor nature of the place).
FINALLY, and this is the most important point, Robbie Rivera is NOT playing on Feb 9th! I don't know why AM Only has it listed (they spoke with him but never made a deal) but they have not made a deal. I can't tell you who is playing that night until it's official but he's a great DJ and personally someone I'd rather see playing than Robbie.
I'm happy to put any of you on my guestlist on nights that i DJ, just know that my list is only really good till about 11pm and that it's still all up to the door guy's discretion. So come early with a girl ;-). |
Thanks for the info! Well, it sounds better to me now. I'm a fan of Kaskade, not so much SHM, but I can enjoy almost anything anyway.
Any place that books local TAs gets bonus points.
I may have to check out the Wednesday night party sometime... work on Thursdays makes it tough, though. Gotta be in the right mood. |

There's some sort of misinformation there, Rivera is NOT booked at The Colony that night! |

it's common for these "hollywood" clubs to double or even triple book events on the same night. |

Yeah that's true, as well as reschedulings, though in this case I do know for a fact they didn't close any sort of deal with Rivera, for that date or any other. |
