Traditionally reserved for drug deals and
kidnapping plots, the old lane way is being looked at in a whole new
light thanks to the folks at the St Jerome's Laneway Festival
in Australia. The concept is as simple as it is cool. Find a great lane
way, spread the word and hold a party. Boutique laneway parties have
become the venue de jour as they are temporary and provide a fresh
approach to outdoor parties.
Equally as popular are the Silent Disco
parties. Originally developed in the Netherlands, the concept involves
a DJ, numerous sets of wireless headphones and a huge number of people
who are not afraid to look stupid. The concept is very unique and
pretty funky, however if you happen to not be wearing a headset, you
may think someone spiked your drink as you witness a lot of dancing and
no music. The DJs tunes are broadcast on a particular frequency that
only the party goers headsets can pick up. The company known as
433fm.com, came up with the concept in 2002 and say the aim is for
people "to go off in silence".
If you slept in during Whams 'wake me up before you go go' neon phase, then Neon Disco
(pictured above) in Canada will give you the glo-fix you've been
looking for. Neon is the clubbing brain child of four friends who
had grown tired of the same old styles and approach that clubs had to
offer. Eliminating the standard issue club furnishings, such as
smoke machines and lasers, Neon ties in its interior with the music
from which it is best known for. Housing a great line up of D.J's
and live bands, the clubs future is as bright as the neon lights it
emits.
Cool Club Concepts is an area which will be featured in
the upcoming Cool Hunter T.V show. If you know of a new club or great
club concept, let us know. It could be an underground club that is
pushing the clubbing boundaries, or a concept that has never been
seen before. Unleash your cool hunting skills and let us know. By Billy T
