Deze editie wordt er wel eentje. Normaal is NL open van 11 tot 4.
Floorplay is 1 van de best lopende avonden van de maand. Bijna altijd nokkie vol, hele goede sfeer, mensen die er echt voor gaan, etc..
Deze keer vieren we de verjaardag van mede host Paul Sparkes en van mijn vrouw. Aangezien deze samen al over de 150 personen op de been brengen doet Club NL iets terug voor ons. Niet alleen gaan we een uurtje eerder open voor genodigden om te toasten en de verjaardagen te vieren. Ook gaan we gegarandeerd tot 5 uur door met een uitloop tot half 6 bij genoeg drukte aan het eind.
Het thema is Rock & Roll qua kleding. Iedereen die ik tot nu toe hoor hier over gaat ook echt zijn best doen om er als een rocker uit te zien inclusief (nep) tatoos, rock tshirts, accessoires, enz..
Om het allemaal nog gekker te maken gaan we de eerste anderhalf uur disco platen draaien (daarna over in onze normale deep/tech-house sound). Iets waar de rock wereld vroeger zwaar een hekel aan had.
Hier de geschiedenis:
By the late 1970s, a strong anti-disco sentiment developed among rock fans and musicians, particularly in the United States. The slogans "disco sucks" and "death to disco" became common. Rock artists such as Rod Stewart and David Bowie who added disco elements to their music were accused of being sell outs.
The punk subculture in the United States and United Kingdom was often hostile towards disco. Jello Biafra of The Dead Kennedys, in the song "Saturday Night Holocaust", likened disco to the cabaret culture of Weimar-era Germany for its apathy towards government policies and its escapism. Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo said that disco was "like a beautiful woman with a great body and no brains", and a product of political apathy of that era. New Jersey rock critic Jim Testa wrote "Put a Bullet Through the Jukebox", a vitriolic screed attacking disco that was considered a punk call to arms.
Anti-disco sentiment was expressed in some television shows and films. A recurring theme on the show WKRP in Cincinnati was a hostile attitude towards disco music. In one scene of the comedy film Airplane!, a city skyline features a radio tower with a neon-lighted station callsign. A disc jockey voiceover says: "WZAZ in Chicago, where disco lives forever!" Then a wayward airplane slices the radio tower with its wing, the voiceover goes silent, and the lighted callsign goes dark.
July 12, 1979 became known as "the day disco died" because of Disco Demolition Night, an anti-disco demonstration in a baseball double-header at Comiskey Park in Chicago.[46] Rock station DJs Steve Dahl and Garry Meier, along with Michael Veeck, son of Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck, staged the promotional event for disgruntled rock fans between the games of a White Sox doubleheader. The event, which involved exploding disco records, ended with a riot, during which the raucous crowd tore out seats and pieces of turf, and caused other damage. The Chicago Police Department made numerous arrests, and the extensive damage to the field forced the White Sox to forfeit the second game to the Detroit Tigers, who had won the first game.bron:

Ik weet dat er hier wel wat (nu-)disco liefhebbers zitten. Laat me even weten of je op de lijst wilt om er vanaf 10 uur bij te kunnen zijn. Of als je gewoon sowieso een top avond wilt hebben.
