Juan MacLean NIGHT OF THE MONTH Part two of DJ Razor’s DFA affair – this time at The Shelter Look who’s having himself a year. Not just one DFA Records grandee on his watch, but two. James Murphy in September and, now, care of the ever more sure-footed DJ-promoter Razor, Juan MacLean, too. One of the founding signees of the taste-setting DFA imprint as one half of vocal-disco duo The Juan MacLean, his gig will nonetheless be distinct from Murphy’s. If for no other reason than it’s at The Shelter, so far less likely to be shut down by the cops (although never rule it out altogether). ‘My sets are definitely a bit different from James’s,’ he tells us from New York. ‘I tend to play a more late-night, deep, dark-vibe type of set meant for dancing to for hours on end. I’m definitely of the old- school house school, taking things up and down, back and forth, from deep to up-front, for the course of a night. And I play a lot of new-school, melodic, deep, tech-y house, lots of stuff with vocals,’ he continues. ‘I’ve never really been a disco DJ so I don’t get into that world at all.’ MacLean is an early standardbearer of a post-house sound that’s seen a massive global swell recently. How does he feel about the cheap copycatting? ‘For years I was playing old-school house with lots of diva vocals and melody, and even when disco was The Big Thing I’d get a lot of resistance to it from hipster crowds in particular – now it’s everywhere,’ he says. ‘But it would be too easy to be cynical about everyone jumping on the house bandwagon; for me, it’s a great time [in dance music],’ he adds. ‘Basically, the sound I have always loved the most is now dominating the clubs. Sure, there are lots of people just lazily getting into it. But that’s OK. Quality always stands out.’ So he’s content with the state of dance music right now? ‘In some ways, it’s what we dreamed of in the beginning of DFA. Dance music moved into a more melodic, song-oriented sound, taking lots of cues from live music forms again,’ he explains. ‘It’s also permeated mainstream culture – though, as usual, the mainstream has ended up with the dumbest examples of the genre.’ There’s still lots of innovation in the underground, he says. ‘And lots of music I’m excited about on a regular basis. I still love DJing as much as I ever did – maybe, right now, even more than I ever have.’ Alexander Barlow Juan MacLean plays The Shelter on Saturday 10. See Listings for details. See www.timeoutshanghai.com for the full interview. Nightlife ❋ Incoming Bar Rouge’s Eighth Birthday What is it? Birthdays on The Bund always mean a bit of hullabaloo and if anyone can be relied upon to go bonkers, it’s Bar Rouge. This year it’s a three-night affair, opening Thursday night with a free-drink party for girls and closing with a ‘storm of Champagne rain’ on Saturday (it’s a surprise, they wouldn’t elaborate). Who’s playing? If there’s any justice, though, longstanding French disco dandy Dimitri from Paris will prove the biggest draw (playing Friday 23). An unrelenting revisionist and marshal of vintage dance sounds, he released a surprisingly on-trend Back in the House compilation for Defected this year. More interestingly, though, was 2010 release Get Down to the Philly Sound, with which he made the case that disco in fact arrived via Philadelphia, not New York. On it are tracks such as Howard Melvin & The Blue Notes’s ‘The Love I Lost’ (the song he reckons is the first ever disco song) as well as some more obscure reveals of the Philly disco sound such as Philly Devotion’s ‘Hurt So Bad’ and Teddy Pendergrass’s ‘The More I Get the More I Want’ (find it online, it’s well worth a listen). And that’s the point of Dimitri from Paris and what makes him such a shrewd booking for this party. He plays music that makes sense to people who don’t care about music, as well pushing more storied, recherché tracks that please the discoheads. ‘When I’m playing in a club I have to seduce [the crowd] into my groove,’ he said in an interview earlier this year. ‘I don’t want to scare them away – I don’t want to say, “Well this is what I play, take it or leave it”– because the chances are they’ll leave it,’ he continues. ‘You have to draw people into your universe.’ AB Might Virgo be The Cool Docks’s first decent club? Wait, Kebabs on the Grille aside, might Virgo be The Cool Docks’s first decent anything? The answer for now, of course, is a nice and safe ‘depends’. But it certainly shows potential. The owner is Denny Goa, a smalltime nightlife baron from Beijing who also owns cheesy rooftop bar-club Kokomo in the capital’s Chaoyang district. Bartender Jackson Bai, also from Beijing, will run the bar. They’re got some novel ideas here. Decent drinks at dive-bar prices in a proper grown-up club – nice. Spirit and mixers are 30RMB, a cocktail is 50RMB (and, until the end of the November, all drinks are buy one get one free until midnight and, yes, they have been tested, and, no, we didn’t wake up with a wildly disproportionate hangover to the amount we sunk). There’s an in-house, clay pizza oven too, with a full-time pizzaoli making passable, skinny-crust pies from around 70RMB. The decor isn’t antagonising, which at times is really the best you can hope for, but here there’s a warm, gold-amber hue, with an attractive bar area with a pole at the end for exotic dances. Downstairs, there’s a commendable balance between pleather seating and dancefloor. Upstairs, there’s a secret, or not so secret, third floor, centred with an island bar and a tired, all-white interior that looks as if its been bought at a clearance sale on a Greek party island. But why doesn’t any of this matter? Because it’s at The Cool Docks, of course. And, unless, say, TICT are doing something at Wharf 1846 (DAFF, for instance), nobody really goes there. The ‘depends’ bit, then, hangs on whether Virgo can attract the right kind of promoters to lend the place some cache (as Ibiza has done with STD) and throw a decent party (they’re talking to City Moments, I Love Shanghai and Diem Noctem). Because Virgo is an OK club; the bricks and mortar are there. Its launch night was packed. So everyone knows it’s open. Now they just need a reason to go back.
