Yesterday, a club on the Las Vegas strip opened which plans to put an end to what they see as generic, scene killing trends carried by most clubs.
AFTER, has enforced a list of crazy and sometimes hilarious rules for the DJ after 3AM on Sunday mornings and it would likely put a lot of DJs in a spot of bother.
We highly recommend you to read the above list; it carries more rules and is just as ridiculous as those signs they always put around swimming pools, warning against dive bombing and ‘heavy petting’.
The labelling of Martin Garrix as a douche and the ban against any speech on the microphone may be hilarious, however the club’s marketing director was keen to remind that you should read it with a pinch of salt:
“Yes, (the list is) real (with a sense of dry humor of course), and (it) will be posted in our DJ booth…”
So, does this mean to encourage DJs to broaden their horizons and creativity? Or is it a keen marketing campaign for a new club in one of the busiest EDM capitals of the world? Or is this another piece of shameful ‘no-holds-barred’ snobbery?
I can understand the list of “No no” DJ’s. But no trap or dubstep? Well what the fuck else is there? House, trance, Madonna, early techno crap? For the party capitol they sure know how to turn down for what..
Or more than likely its the management not liking that kind of music and enforcing their will to the DJ’s. Which is foolish in my opinion.
Ban the mau5? What are you fucking mental?!
Sounds awesome, id love to go. Weeds out the garbage
I call this a good start. There is still plenty of room to deliver a great set. So much music is overplayed and much more is never played. Look at it as an opportunity to be more creative and not deliver the same ‘POP EDM’ set list that every other DJ is using.
These rules are pure genius. Bring back unique music instead of just playing the same shit over and over again. So many subgenres out there, about time they’re given a chance to shine.
I’d play gospel music as a protest, by these rules its allowed and it would cause people to leave
obscure electro swing only, thanks. we want to make NO money today.
I wana go to this club you wont hear the same old shit you hear everywhere els

Lennon said, “I’m an artist. You give me a fucking tuba, I’ll get you something out of it.” -ok so that was Jack Nicholson paraphrasing, but its close enough. After all, This IS after 3 AM.
These are the rules for the after-hours DJ sets that are played way later in the morning. It’s not like the club is banning all of those artists from being played during the prime hours that the club is open.
This is great wish these would get enforced to other clubs, going to clubs for music has gotten so dull lately. Same crap every weekend.
What kind of club is this? I guess they want you to play generic techno and trance by unknown artists?
Bullshit..
This is fake as fuck..
why would the FUCK THEY FUCKING DO THE FUCKING SHIT I HOPE THE CLUB BURNS INTO ASHS
What are your sources on this story? I would like to know because no such club exists. There are no applications for business licenses, no liquor license applications, no facebook page and no address. In the article you stated “Yesterday, a club on the Las Vegas strip opened which plans to put an end to what they see as generic, scene killing trends carried by most clubs” where exactly did you get this information? You went as far as to quote the clubs marketing director ““Yes, (the list is) real (with a sense of dry humor of course), and (it) will be posted in our DJ booth…”” for a club which does not exist. Did you actually receive a phone call from this person claiming to be the marketing director? Please state your sources, edit or retract this article
weed out the douche’s. there are so many amazing artist to use. If dj’s weren’t just downloading torrent packs of that months top tracks we would be hearing better music.
Don’t one hundred percent agree but this is still awesome
Just play Showtek lol
He wants Justin bieber, brtney spears and shakira after 3
can go fuck his mom with these rules 🙂
dont play any trap nor dubstep? how about suck my dick
Let them eat cake. I laugh at this interpretation of this article. So GD out of touch with the trends. Marketing genius, yes. But if you think this was made in jest, you’re not paying much attention to the scene overall.

I fully support this list. How about some real House music.
That’s the screen of a frustated person. It’s not even a notice. I guess its fake.
This is genius amd I havr already made the same rules booking local talent too. Clearly the owner has history amd the only ones who have a problem with it are the docuhers ruining our scene. This should be nominated st bpm awards.
