You can be forgiven for assuming that nightlife in Medellín contains bar hopping in Parque Lleras from reggaeton to salsa, salsa to vallenato, vallenato to bachata, bachata to cumbia etc, and so on, blah blah blah.

Not that I have anything versus the previously mentioned styles, I like a great deal of old salsa as well as value aspects of the others, however if we're talking about going out and also partying, they just do not make the cut for me. Thankfully, those are not the only choices.

Medellín has a successful below ground techno as well as home scene. It has actually been referred to as the techno funding of South America, and also provided the quantity of occasions and also worldwide DJs playing in Medellín, it would certainly be hard to say with that said.

In this initial message, I will be checking out a current occasion I attended, and also following it up tomorrow with a meeting with the promoter as well as DJ.

In future posts, I plan to talk about the clubs, bars, marketers, DJs as well as producers that make-up this vivid movement.

I do not mean to check out industrial electronic songs, music from the similarity Steve Aoki, Avicii and David Guetta.

There is a commercial scene here too, however it actually isn't my cup of tea, so I will leave that for somebody else to consider.

I lately went to an occasion put on by Intelligent Department, the lengthiest running techno cumulative in the city.

The welcomed DJs were techno heavyweights Drumcell as well as Sound Injection from Los Angeles. Two DJs with outstanding reputations for delivering effective efficiencies and also both with a substantial back catalogue of launches under their belts.

When they play together, they play as Cell Shot.

The area was Resources Club (ID Club for Intelligent Department nights) at km 5 on Las Palmas. The club has a large dance flooring with some tables as well as chairs skirting it.

Juli Monslave, one of the best-known techno women Colombian DJs, was kicking the night off well with some driving however splendid techno.

The dancing flooring and also the club as a whole were filling up perfectly with clubbers loaded with expectancy for a techno sustained dancing fest.

Successive was Deraout, the owner of Intelligent Department. He got where Juli ended, in what was a truly influenced collection packed with heavy hitting numbers, industrial, however likewise full of funk that constructed the group approximately a craze.

Deraout left to the joys and praise of the appreciative event people as he turned over the DJ booth to Cell Injection.

Cell Injection proceeded in Deraout's blood vessel, and now it was later as well as peak time so they might truly go complete on, heck for leather.

Which's what they did, throughout their established maintained the entire place rockin' as well as shed in the songs till sunup, with moody, dark and aggressive instilled techno which gave the group no respite as well as left them wheezing for air but craving more.

Thankfully in Medellin if you desire a lot more, there typically is extra.

After events are plentiful, they might not constantly be marketed but ask around at the club for "El remate" (The after celebration) and also there is a good chance you will be directed in the ideal direction.

The after celebration went to a finca on Las Palmas with gorgeous sights over Medallo.

When I showed up, Andres Gil was playing. Andres is a DJ and prolific techno songs manufacturer from Medellin.

I have been supporting his tracks for a number of years, and also he never stops working to thrill.

The sun was up, and the music suited the hour, taking on a less ruthless nosebleed techno to a much more removed back and also splendid techno and technology residence.

Camilo Serna followed Andres Gil for a set full of funky, groove based techno for which he is popular. Camilo is a really popular techno DJ from the city.

We first satisfied in England, where we played with each other. We have likewise since dipped into several occasions together here in Colombia.

Camilo had the after event in full swing as the sun started to warm the city and as I began to seem like a vampire.

It was around 8:30 am when my bed started calling Podcast about Medellin me, I hailed a taxi and also was promptly whisked back house where I broke down right into my bed, still with the pulsating yet enjoyable 4 to the flooring defeats ringing in my ears.

I do not recognize what time the after party completed, perhaps till noontime, possibly all the time or perhaps it's still going ...
