This Thursday in SF: Deepchild
Posted by: | Comments
This Thursday, March 11th, the Revival crew is taking a trip to Phonic at San Francisco’s legendary End Up to party with our friend Deepchild. Many of you were here when Revival Nightlife and Mixture brought you Deepchild @ Faces last March and, because no Sacramento club will be bringing him back this time around, we’re going to travel to the storied SF nightclub for a night of proper clubbing with Deepchild and a capable supporting cast featuring Worthy and J Philp.
The End Up (for those that don’t know) is located at the corner of 6th and Harrison in San Francisco, CA.
TONIGHT (3.5.10) JJ Flores plays a special pre-opening party at Venue Nightclub
Posted by: | Comments
One of our favorite Sacramento club promoters, “Mixture” famous for their 2nd Saturday Artwalk events and massive pool/hotel party blowouts every Summer, is helping to put on a special pre-opening party at the all new Venue (used to be Empire) in Sacramento.
It’s a rarity to see modern club music at a big club in Sacramento on a weekend and, even though JJ’s music is not out cup-o-tea, we’ll be there to support promoters trying to revive (and to check out the new club) Capital City nightlife from the current lows of every club with the same facsimile DJ, playing the same music, in the same way. It is time for a revival and parties like this certainly help…

Sacramento nightclub Empire transforms into: VENUE
Posted by: | CommentsYes, Empire is no more. Closed for the last week and a half for a major change, Venue is not only a new name but the club has been redone from the ground up. We haven’t seen the inside yet, only pictures, so there wont be too much info to share in this post however they tell us the giant nightclub has undergone a $2 million rebirth, including (much needed) an all new sound system and club lighting as well. The new theme for Venue, officially dubbed “Punk Rock Meets Victoria’s Secret,” doesn’t really register with us as we haven’t seen it with our own eyes yet but anything to make Empire a better nightclub is welcomed (it was not one of Revival’s favorite clubs in Sacramento by any stretch).
We’re sure more info is on the way, until then here’s their website…
Italian “MASTER” Marco Carola plays Vessel, San Francisco
Posted by: | Comments
Hailing from Naopli, master of all things dope in the world of dance music Marco Carola visits San Francisco for the first time in a decade! We’d love it if Sacramento could get a piece of Marco while he’s in Cali but I don’t see it happening at any of the clubs in Sac. So we make the trek to Vessel, not our favorite club in SF but easily one of the best sound systems in SF (which kind of makes it one of our favorites by default).
Yes, it is a Thursday night, and that might be rough for some Sac heads to travel to the city, party with Marco till 3 or 4 AM, and then work the next day but if there ever was a day to attempt it, Match 18th would be the day! Marco is really that good at what he does.

Revival Nitelife Want’s Vince Lombardi Back On The Patio @ The Park Downtown!!!
Posted by: | CommentsSpring is coming and it’s time to bring Sacramento favorite Vince Lombardi back to The Park Downtown! Nothing like the latest in global cosmopolitan club music in the open air!
That is all.
The Mixable Dancer!
Posted by: | CommentsWhat we have here is the world’s first “mixable” YouTube video. It doesn’t always work perfectly but does most of the time and is crazy fun, if even only for a few minutes. Remix video as it plays in real-time using the on-screen timeline-fixed sample bank embedded in the video. As you work the dancer on the screen changes in synchronized fashion.
Have fun Sacramento!!!

Why the early exist for Sacramento party-goers?
Posted by: | CommentsSound.
Proper dance music requires proper sound. There is no way around it. It doesn’t have the be extremely loud, it has to be extremely good! The sound system is what brings quality dance music to life. It’s such an important aspect but almost entirely overlooked at 95% of clubs in Sacramento.
When the sound system is not up to par is has a defeating purpose. It sucks the life right out of the deejay, the 
dancefloor, and the party as a whole before too long. Dancefloors get lethargic and people start to leave. This may not happen with hip hop and top 40 for some reason (that’s an entirely different discussion), but it’s going to happen with house and techno if the sound system blows.
I’m tired of people blaming Sacramento, saying Sacramento sucks, and things like that. Sacramento hasn’t had a chance. There hasn’t been ONE decent Sacramento club in a decent Sacramento location, with a quality sound system to try and grow a house or techno event on a Friday or Saturday night in the last decade. Not one. And when you look around at the parties that some promoters are trying on weekends today you’ll see the same Sacramento people you’ll see at 4AM leaving Ruby Skye or 6AM at the End Up, but they are leaving the Sacramento party at 1AM. How’s that make any sense? They obviously aren’t having a good enough time at the party. There are many reasons for that and the catalyst for many of those reasons is the sound system. It is as important as any element of a good party.
These shitty Sacramento sound systems are sucking the life out of the deejays and the dancefloors and it’s really too bad. The good news is things seem to be changing. Clubs like MiX Downtown, Blush Ultralounge, and The Press Club now have fantastic sounds systems and are doing proper dance music events on Thursdays AND weekends!
Sat 2/6/10, Dirtybird SF Rising Star J Phlip Plays Sacramento with Revival Nitelife
Posted by: | Comments
Making her return to Sacramento will be Miss Dirtybird J. Phlip. Some of you were fortunate enough to see her back in October at Lounge On20 when she was literally knocking the bottles off the wall!!! You definately don’t want to miss her this time around. This event will be the day after the Dirtybird 5 Year Anniversary Party so let’s help Jess celebrate Sacramento style!!!
Opening set by Gavin Varitech
(Revival Nightlife)
Since we last posted this you’ve helped Gavin get almost 50 more votes! Yet he still needs more. In order to qualify the DJ needs a minimum of 200 ratings (and then then top 100 entrants with the highest average rating go to the next round), Gavin is sitting at 189, we need to get him at least 11 more 5 star ratings by Sunday!!!
It is very easy to vote. Takes 10 seconds and doesn’t require registration. All you have to do is click the link and then the 5 STARS. Add your e-mail address and you are done. You’ve never spent 5 seconds that was so valuable to someone else in your life! LOL
