Revival Nitelife

Expanding and growing this website…

Vivenite — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:53:24 +0000

Revival Nitelife wants to expand and grow this website to be everything YOU want it to be. For starters, does anyone think a new user forum would be worth it, or is there already too much of that out there? We know there really isn’t such an animal catering to Sacramento nightlife anymore (since Napkin Nights got rid of their forums many years ago) and maybe that is because no one wants one. What do you think?

About Classics Tonight…

Vivenite — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:20:43 +0000

Wow! The response to tonight’s Classics party has been incredible. People from all sorts of different scenes, that don’t normally party together, are going to be at Classics tonight. I’m excited to see people come together under one roof (on that incredible sound system with one of Cali’s best deejays behind the decks)!

First ever “Classics” party in Sacramento with the legendary Barry Weaver!

Vivenite — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:16:23 +0000

Revival Classics! Classic dance music; Brought to you by a West Coast dance music legend, with 20+ years experience behind the decks, Barry Weaver takes control of the sound system in the main room at Faces (best sound system in Sac). Expect original classics from the 80’s and 90’s, modern classics from the last decade, and the future classics of tomorrow… Also featuring Gavin Varitech as the opening act and VJ Mr Jon on the video screens all night long. And for the early birds a special playing of Manuel Göttsching’s E2-E4 in it’s entirety from 9PM – 10PM before the deejays start playing the first records.

Featuring…

Barry Weaver
-san diego (closing set)

Gavin Varitech

Mr Jon

Faces does NOT do guestlist but Revival Nitelife has one for this night only. Of course the entire club will be open as well and the Revival list is good for all of the rooms at the club…

SSL users, now there’s almost no reason not to be playing on CDJ’s… (this is cool)

CDJ2000 Firmware update 3.1 brings Serato Scratch Live to life on Pioneer!

While those that know me know full well I’m a bigger fan of Traktor Pro than Scratch Live, I have no allegiance to anyone and this is just one more step in the evolution of DJ gear that brings us one step closer to everyone being able to play on the same systems (without having to plug in and unplug decks and DVS soundcards over and over again)…

Kings Draft Cousins!

Vivenite — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:41:43 +0000

While we don’t usually cover sports here, the Kings are ours in Sacramento and most of the home games do happen at night, so why not? This is draft time and if the Kings hit on their draft pick like they did with Tyreke Evans last year, this squad is going to be a force for a long time to come! Instead of writing something ourselves, we’ll leave that in the capable hands of SactownRoyalty.com. Here’s the story…

Speaking of the Kings, don’t forget the Backroom is happening right next to Arco Area Saturday, June 26th and we have FREE guestlist for readers of the site (see below)!

June 26th: The Begining of a special event…

Vivenite — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:48:09 +0000

The Backroom! The brand new event hosted by Revival Nitelife inside Morningstar Recordings’ Saturday weekly ‘ESCAPE’, the Backroom aims to be the only name you need to remember for the best vibe, party, music, and venue for all things underground dance music.

This month and every month going forward we’re doing it differently. No need to bring in some big name that probably isn’t as dope as what we’ve got going in Sac anyways… Sacramento favorites Sukh Banwait, (Lounge ON20), Bobby Martinez (Submerged), & Gavin Varitech (Mixture, Sexy Robots) keeping it real in the Backroom. Revival Nitelife will be bringing signature enhancements to the venue and has a limited guestlist.

This is the ONLY monthly underground music event, at a quality venue, on one of the best sound systems there is, in Sacramento. It will only get better and better from here!!!

FREE with Revival Guestlist B4 11:00PM

LIST@REVIVALNITELIFE.COM

Gueslist also gets you into the other room at Fugu, playing top40 dance and mashups, video mixing, gogo dancers, and all that. Bring your friends that might not be ready for THE BACKROOM beats. Even if they don’t get down to what we are doing (how is that possible? haha) there is a whole other party going on at the club, and it’s all 100% free for everyone on the Revival Nitelife list…

Second Saturday destination?

Vivenite — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:32:50 +0000

Be sure to check out MXD/Mixture’s long-running 2nd Saturday event at Plum Blossom (corner of J & 19th) smack dab in the middle of all the 2nd Saturday festivities….

Our Friend Barry… Killin’ it! (will we see him in Sac soon?)

New weekly club night opening May 22nd: Escape with special guest DJ from LA!

Vivenite — Sun, 16 May 2010 23:57:14 +0000

There is a brand new weekly dance event beginning weekly in Sacramento this weekend. ‘Escape’ inside the Fugu Lounge. If you haven’t heard of this venue it may be because it’s not in downtown/midtown like almost everything else. Fugu is actually in Natomas, very close to Arco Arena. On May 22nd the promoters of this all-new weekly bring us DJ Heavygrinder from LA, a very special guest (and expensive booking we assume) for the grand opening. A bit of a celeb DJ of sorts but not in the talent/music department where she puts those fake “celeb” deejays to shame, H.G. is a REAL deejay…

Revival Nitelife contributors and resident deejays take over their night “The Backroom”, once a month, at Escape and will be holding it down this Saturday for the opening night festivities. Join Gavin Varitech and Vince Lombardi at the grand opening of the Escape at the Fugu Lounge totally FREE when you get on the Revival guestlist! Of course the party is not just for you underground beat freaks, Escape will include more commercially friendly music in the main room every week. So it’s safe for you to bring your friends that don’t quite “get it” just yet. The list gets you into the entire club, not only for Vince and Gavin in The Backroom but for the Heavygrinder party and the main room as well. All 100% free, just get on the list!!
