WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO DO A CLUB NIGHT?
A good DJ’s set is a journey. If you come early you can be a part of it from start to end. Being friends with a DJ has its own perks like free entries, guest lists, backstage and more. The whole point of clubbing is to socialize, eat, drink, have fun, make memories and of course loud music, so a silent disco is not really a good option.
