Have you ever wondered where would be the best place to go out on a Saturday night? Where would have the type of music you like, the kind of people you want to be around, if there’s going to be too crowded or too empty and the exact location of the club in question?

Well, wonder no more people of Buenos Aires: GEOclubbing guide has come to Argentina! Using the Facebook platform, the web page basically takes all the information on the events posted by promoters on Facebook, packing all this data together in one place.

In the words of director Dave Blue: “Every single event listed on the site comes directly from Facebook. All updates made by the promoter, and all RSVPs made by clubbers, are automatically synced between Facebook and GEOclubbing. This requires no time, effort, or cost on the part of event organizers, and allows anyone to get a fast and simple overview of all clubbing events with just a few clicks. In other words, GEOclubbing complements Facebook’s ability to answer ‘What are my friends doing tonight?’ by using the same information to answer ‘Show me all Trance events in Amsterdam next weekend’.”

Blue has been in the clubbing scene since 2007, when he started DJing and throwing parties while at university in New Zealand. He says he had “always been kind of a geek”, mapping all the clubs around the area where he lived. He had what he calls his “eureka moment” in May of last year, when he realised he could use Facebook to upload events from all over the world without having to develop face-to-face relationships with the local nightlife players. After 15 months working in the technical groundwork, the website was finally launched in August of this year.

The user selects one of the five cities in the world that the company is present (Buenos Aires, London, Sydney, Hong Kong and Amsterdam) and then can check the dates to the most popular nightlife events put on by order of people attending it on Facebook. It works even better if you have a profile on Facebook because you can allow the GEO application into your account and see which one of your friends are attending which parties.

“You can of course ask your friends or chat up promoters, which is still a good idea, but I want to know all of the parties, and which are truly hot – not just being hyped by somebody. And I want know this very quickly for any given night so I can focus on enjoying the experience rather than fussing around with my computer,” states Blue.

It also has innovative tools such as a sound (so you can hear what kind of music the DJs on the event’s line up will play) and video (to show you the club’s atmosphere).

A map with all the events that will take place in the city is also available and are marked by dots – the bigger the dot, the more people will be attending it.

Keeping this in mind, Blue likes to interfere the least possible on picking which events are worthwhile getting on his nightlife guide, since there’s the online RSVP factor, measuring the popularity of the event. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t appreciate the efforts of promoters who are just getting started and don’t have much money to invest in parties. “With one of these questionable events a few weeks ago in BA, I actually checked out the Facebook page of the promoter and saw that at one of their previous events they decorated the venue by putting playing cards on the mirrors around the bar. So this nice simple touch showed me that the promoter is actually making an effort, and I’ll spend some time to ensure their future parties make it onto GEOclubbing.”

In his opinion, what makes the BA nightlife scene stand out from other cities in the world is by far the great amount of “free agents” (meaning actual people) there are working in promoting the nightlife instead of generic brands or clubs that do their own promotion and advises the clubbers: “Just as you would cling to a good hair stylist, once you find a good public relations in Buenos Aires, make sure that relationship is tight because this is how you get access.”

Future plans for GEOclubbing guide are to expand to all global cities, adding Rio de Janeiro and Mar del Plata soon to the list. The company also has plans to promote events in other Latin American metropolis such as São Paulo, Lima, Santiago, and Bogotá.

Whilst there is a wealth of sights to see and cultural activities that adorn the streets of Buenos Aires during the day, the city does not lose any of its excitement during the night. In search of a truly brilliant night out, The Argentina Independent has compiled a selection of the best nightclubs around to tempt those that want to party until the break of day.

Crobar is a chic and modern club that pulsates on the fringes of Palermo, offering a young and cool crowd the chance to have a truly brilliant clubbing experience in the Paris of South America. The name conjures up images of a Latin warehouse style club and whilst this venue is slightly hidden, out of view off the Avenida de Liberatador, it is a club that attracts a smart clientele that will only be seen in the trendiest of surroundings.

In true Porteño style, Crobar gets going on Fridays and Saturdays at around 2am, thriving on music mixed by some of the best electronic DJs from Buenos Aires and abroad. In true international style, Crobar is a popular chain that has sprung up in Peru, Brazil and Uruguay as well as Argentina. The music is an eclectic mix of electronic and house, infused into anthems and pop, rejuvenating some well-loved classics as well as creating original remixes that keep the party going until dawn.

The venue itself is stunning. With an amazing central dance floor, which is surrounded by bars, its layout lends itself to having a good time on the town.  The aesthetic of the club will not disappoint either. With fantastic lighting effects, multimedia screens and projectors, stylish leather loungers and bizarre glittering snowflakes alongside images of camels that hang from the ceiling, Crobar even manages to add a tad of eccentricity to its hip personality. Drinks are slightly on the pricy side but the quality of the club, stature of the DJs, and the entire experience of Crobar warrant this slight indulgence.

Crobar is located on Paseo de la Infanta in Palermo. Their email address is info@crobar.com.ar and more information on their nights can be found at their website www.crobar.com.ar

2. Human, Costanera Salguero

A popular and fearsome alternative to Club Amerika, which has long been listed as the gay party destination, Human provides gay audiences with a relaxed night out that appeals to the senses and urges. In a truly liberal sense, anything goes; visitors are welcomed on the sole requisite that they are human. Dress code is just as relaxed as the atmosphere and as diverse as the crowd that frequents the venue.

The entrance opens up to a huge dance floor, which is set across several platforms from which confident dancers can bust a move. These platforms are also home to some of the club’s professional dancing staff that heat the crowd up with their sizzling displays all in the name of good fun and guilty pleasure.

Human also boasts an amazing waterfront vista from its house and trance room, giving ravers the chance to see the dawn filter over the Río de La Plata as they dance the remnants of night away.

Human’s music ranges from infectious Pop queen Lady Gaga to electronic and trance DJs in adjoining rooms, sticking fast to their promise of diversity. Friendly to all, Human is not to be missed for a great night out if you are tired of the superficiality of the Porteño night scene.

Human is located at Punto Carrasco on the corner of Av. Costanera and Av.Sarmiento. Their website is www.humanclub.com.ar and their email address is info@humanclub.com.ar

Popular with locals and tourists alike, Kika has something for everyone on nearly every night of the week. A smaller venue, packing a powerful punch to its competitors, each night at Kika sees a grand personality change in musical taste. Changing between electro, rock, hip hop, dub step and Latin jams, Kika’s versatility lends itself to large groups of friends with varying music tastes from those that prefer the European chart toppers to those that want to experience a taste of the Latin American beats popular in Argentina; Reggaeton and Cumbia. Not only this, Kika also hosts foam parties and live bands, ensuring that every base is covered.

With entrance starting from a mere $20, Kika is easy on the wallet as it is on the eyes and ears. Variety does not stop at the music either as Kika also offers a VIP service, where customers can enjoy a disco with the best sound and lighting equipment.

If that wasn’t enough, visitors can plan a night of fun solely at Kika by opting for one of their dinner services that run throughout the week before the party gets started. Although this may not sound like a hard night on the tiles in true Porteño boliche style, Kika offers something different to those in search of a good night and nothing less.

Kika is located at Honduras 5339 in Palermo Soho and their website is www.kikaclub.com.ar and their email address is info@kikaclub.com.ar

4. Azúcar, Belgrano

Located in a barrio lesser-known for its clubs, Azúcar is a boliche that provides punters with something truly Latin. Azúcar does not assume to compete with the trendier, more groomed clubs of Palermo but offers an Argentine antidote to the invasion of European beats on the late night music scene in Buenos Aires.

In its modest and frayed-at-the-edges venue, Azúcar swings to salsa and reggaeton rhythms offering something more authentic in Belgrano. What also makes Azúcar stand out from the crowd is its faithfulness to its cocktails. Tragos as they are called in Argentina, are plentiful and make a refreshing change to hazy nights at the fault of fernet due to lack of choice. Cuban Mojitos and Daiquiris are among the selection at the bar, allowing those to get a taste of the Caribbean in Buenos Aires.

Azúcar interestingly offers a dance class service; allowing first-timers to learn some saucy moves before hitting the dance floor, armed with an array of new ways to enjoy the musical delights. Options vary from lessons in fusion salsa to Latin rhythms and rock and roll.

An authentic experience, faithful to the wonderful music scenes that exist in Latin America and the Caribbean, Azúcar is not to be missed by people that love all things Latin.

Azúcar is located at Cabildo 2040 in Belgrano. Their website is www.azucarbelgrano.com

Niceto Club (Photo: Beatrice Murch)

A bit of a guilty pleasure, Niceto is a great night out for the laidback. Unpretentious and without any frills, Niceto does exactly what it says on the tin and gives people an easy, fun night out in Palermo. Its location could not be better with the bars of Palermo hustling and bustling on its doorstep, providing an easy transition for those wanting to up their game after the last round at a bar.

With two dance floors and ample bar space, it has an easy layout so that losing your friends is not really possible.

Niceto hosts many events and offers its stage to many different artists and fashion designers that are all incorporated into an entertaining evening. No night is ever the same at Niceto with different events each week and a range of musical styles that the club likes to adopt to please its followers and fans.

Music ranges from indie rock, to funk, reggae and pop. Drinks are reasonable to the point that one shall loose reason and discounts are available on their website, creating the perfect combination for a cool night out.

Niceto is located in Palermo at Niceto Vega 5510. Their website is www.nicetoclub.com and they can be reached by email at info@nicetoclub.com

If you’ve slithered your way through tango steps, acquainted yourself with the canon of rock nacional, head-bobbed to digital cumbia and whistled along with folklóre Argentino and are left wondering what Argentine music has yet to show you, then you’re due for a dose of Tremor. This three piece band’s inventive sound blends cutting edge electronic composition and sound manipulation with traditional folkloric influences. Acoustic instruments such as the charango, ronroco, bombo legüero, flutes and violin are spliced together with chunky rhythms that bump into each other, pile up and are topped off with glitchy electronic ambience.

The opening sequence of the musical and visual presentation of Tremor.

Tremor’s unique sound is the product of composer Leonardo Martinelli’s restless explorations of different musical expressions. As a teenager Martinelli attended the Manuel de Falla Conservatory in Buenos Aires, where he studied various styles of guitar, percussion and folkloric music. After graduating he proceeded to delve deeper into theories of composition with the accomplished classical and jazz composer Marcelo Katz, who Martinelli describes as “my master, my yoda”.

Before his formal training had yet begun, Martinelli had already started experimenting with various electronic instruments and recording processes. He had become fed up with the fickle stylistic leanings of his teenage bands, and was drawn to the opportunity of playing and recording on his own using synthesizers and samplers. The immense creative potential provided by the electronics became a central element of Martinelli’s artistry. He explains, “that’s what Tremor is about, it’s about using technology to make a collage.”

Band leader Leo Martinelli experiments with musical compositions from recordings of many different instruments including even household objects.

Martinelli has utilised some highly unorthodox ingredients in his collages. He has recorded and then manipulated sounds produced by electronic printers, silverware, wine glasses filled to various levels, coins, furniture, cake pans, ping pong balls, telephone tones and many more. He is quick to point out that these sounds are not added just for novelty’s sake, but that he arranges the sounds to form genuine musical elements or patterns: “I think the difference between noise and music is that music has a logical pattern, or discourse; so when I use those kinds of sounds I try to make them say something interesting.”

For example, in the track ‘Surco’ the humming of an old printer slides along on top of the rhythm and propels the track forward. In ‘Dedalo’ the differing tings of wine glasses form a melody that heightens the piece’s crescendo.

These two tracks were assembled from a massive sound bank that Martinelli compiled  before recording his first Tremor album, entitled ‘Landing’, recorded in his small home studio, and released independently in 2004.

He expanded on this recording technique to create the innovative ‘Defecto Primario: Suite Para Esencias Instrumentales’, which won first prize and a grant from the F Arts Awards, organised by the Artistic Experimentation Lab and Faena Group. In creating ‘Defecto Primario’, Martinelli followed strict self-imposed limitations. Each track of the ensemble was created using a single instrument or tool. Martinelli amassed separate sound banks consisting of all the melody and rhythm-related sounds that he could muster from each instrument, and then cut and pasted the fragments together.

‘Particulas Elementales’ stacks up various “vocal emissions” to create a bouncy and slick track. Martinelli told me that while he enjoys playing live – “I feel a ton of adrenaline when composing” – and these tracks ooze with the kind of enthusiasm for the studio expected from a musical mad scientist. He warns the sonically conservative, “the project is a bit crazy, you probably don’t want to listen to it while having dinner.”

All three members of Tremor come together for a Quena flute jam.

Martinelli’s experimental musings have led him to projects in other art forms as well. In 2005 Martinelli collaborated with a friend on the play, ‘The Theatre Machine’, which competed at the Plateaux Festival in Frankfurt, Germany. There were no actors in the ‘The Theatre Machine’. Instead, it featured a gaggle of contraptions on the stage being triggered by a computer: lighting effects, videos flashing on and off, assorted objects descending from the ceiling, the raising of an inflatable doll and mouse traps being triggered by golf balls – just to name a few.

He has also worked with film. He was in charge of the musical arrangements for a short dance-related film called ‘Interio.Baño.Noche’, which won first prize at the 2004 Latin American Dance Video Festival in the artistic creation category.

Of his many artistic engagements Martinelli says, “I’m very curious and I also get bored really easily.”

However, for the last few years his focus has been firmly set on transforming Tremor into a  successful live band. ‘Landing’ received wide critical acclaim and the exposure drastically altered the course of the project. After seeing Martinelli interviewed on television, percussionist Camilo Carabajal contacted him by email. Carabajal was enthusiastic about the two collaborating, though he wasn’t quite sure what they should work on.

The back screen visuals silhouette the three members who make up Tremor.

Martinelli performed at a few shows with Carabajal’s band, more of a rock outfit, and the two began jamming and experimenting at the sound checks. They decided to record a three track EP. Laughing heartily, Martinelli recalls asking Carabajal, “hey, so what’s up, are you waiting for an invitation to work on Tremor?” Carbajal responded jokingly, “What? That invitation already happened!”

Two months later the two met keyboard and melodica player Gerardo Farez and Tremor took on its current manifestation. The three began reworking the tracks from ‘Landing’  and creating new compositions for their performances.

The emotive power of Tremor’s music, slightly obscured by the electronics on the albums, comes crashing through during their performances. Carabajal primarily plays the bombo legüero, a massive bass drum which is played standing up. He bobs and weaves over the drum like it’s a boxing opponent, delivering thundering blows and precise, nimble rim shots. Farez switches between an assortment of keyboards and the melodica, threading sinuous melodies through the tracks and sweeping the crowd along on discursive excursions. Martinelli mostly alternates between a keyboard, electric guitar and charango (a small stringed instrument in the lute family), usually swapping mid-song to initiate a dramatic change of mood.

The tracks become more expansive and intense when performed live, often venturing into sections of highly charged tension and eeriness. This intensity is augmented by the psychedelic imagery projected behind the band by video artist ‘Matapixels’, who has created a series of images and videos that accompany each track.

Group leader Leo Martinelli plays the bombo legüero alongside percussionist Camilo Carabajal.

The three artists recorded the second tremor album, ‘Viajante’, as a group. While Martinelli still composes most all of the music, he says that his band mates play a vital role in the process: “their essences are there in the production.” Clearly informed by Martinelli’s composition training, ‘Viajante’ masterfully transitions between different moods from subtle, melancholic introspection to fierce, thumping outbursts.

Turning the Tremor project into a performing band led to collaboration with the local music collective Zizek Urban Beats Club. Martinelli describes the collective as a fertile ground for sharing musical ideas and influences, which has also helped to develop Tremor’s sound. Involvement with Zizek has also led to both US and European tours.

Along with further touring in the coming months, Martinelli is currently making the music for a documentary film, working on tracks for the third Zizek compilation album and recording  both a Tremor remix collection and third studio album. He promises me that, of course, the sound is transforming. This is exciting news for all of us who appreciate music being pushed into brave new territory.

Both Tremor albums, ‘Landing’ and ‘Viajante’, can be purchased and downloaded from itunes and Amazon. The new remix album, ‘Para Armar’, will be released in June, and the third studio album should be out by early next year.

The next scheduled Tremor show will take place on 6th June as part of the Ciudad Emergente Festival, Sala Villa Villa.

It’s Saturday night and you don’t know what you want to do. You haven’t had enough drinks to go for a big cheesy night on the tiles, you’re not feeling the heaving reggaeton and Palermo is starting to blur into a haze of early morning bar encounters. If you find yourself in this little pickle, hop in a cab to Abasto for ‘Clásica Y Bailable’.

The night is hosted by local radio station FM La Tribu 88.7 at Uniclub. Uniclub is a short distance away from the usual big nightspots, but this area is increasingly becoming more popular for people looking for something that isn’t your usual potter around Palermo or San Telmo. As such, the nights they have also offer something a little alternative.

‘Clásica Y Bailable’ features a five-piece band playing drums, keyboards, guitar, cello and clarinet and when they say Clásica, they mean Clásica, in every sense. The drummer keeps the crowd jumping, whilst the musicians throw down their own mixes of anything from The Police to Michael Jackson to Mozart – yes, the classical and the classics. There was even a Bach’s B Minor Suite (the one that everyone had on their Nokia telephones at the beginning of the Noughties) played out over a reggae beat and a dance version of the Super Mario Brother’s theme tune. A dash of klezmer kept the crowd kicking its feet up through the night.

When the band takes a break, the sound system takes over, keeping everyone dancing with some more traditional salsa music and cumbia beats, with some balkan tunes thrown in. If you’ve got your mojo going, you can keep dancing all night. Otherwise, take a break to grab a drink from the bar. Uniclub is on three levels, so there is plenty of space to sit and relax with the eclectic crowd of twenty and thirty-somethings.

So if you want to shake your thing, but want something more than pure thumping beats, head to ‘Clásica Y Bailable’ on a Saturday. You can groove to any style you want and the live band provides enough variety that you can watch with a drink, like you would at a gig. Don’t be fooled by the idea of a stuffy live orchestra – this one will rock your musical world. They will take the music of your childhood and sex it up. They will make you shake to the music of the school disco. And that’s before the bass clarinet comes out.

‘Clásica Y Bailable’ is on every Saturday from 11pm at Uniclub, Guardia Vieja 3360. Entry costs $15. See www.uniclub.com.ar or www.fmlatribu.com for more details.

Hype by name and hyped by nature, there are guaranteed queues outside Kika at its popular Tuesday night party. By a comparatively early 2am, expect to see hordes of North American girls in glittery frocks and high heels elbowing their way to the front of the queue in a less than ladylike fashion. Inside, their outfits are justified, as Kika is a glamorous venue, the polished entrance-way impressive at first glance with its fashionable neon strip lighting and dangling glitter-balls.

Despite all the aesthetic effort on display outside the club however, the actual dancefloor in which Hype takes place is Kika’s back room. It’s small and resembles the standard black box club format. The night also offers slightly grittier musical fare than Kika’s usual preference for style over substance. Hip-hop, rock, electro, drum and bass and dubstep are the genres on its extensive musical menu. The range of international popular music is eclectic but nothing groundbreaking, instead it treads the fine line between underground and commercial. It is accessibly cool – neither impenetrably experimental nor monotonously mainstream.

Hype offers a carefully orchestrated line-up, which always follows the same basic template, interspersed with the odd guest appearance. Indie from midnight until 1.30am is followed by Argentine DJ Fabrizio Ruiz spinning hip-hop from 1.30 until 3, with 2.45 until 3.15 reserved for guest DJs. 3.30-4 is electro-house straight from the vaults of English founder Matthew Ashley’s musical collection and 4.30 until 5 features another English turn from Simon Taylor for a drum and bass set.

On the night I attended, an uninspiring hip-hop set featured an intensive dirty south session which seemed to drive the US clubbers wild. For the uninitiated, unfortunately, the relentless selection of a very culture-specific form of music fell largely on deaf ears. All was forgiven however when the pace picked up around 3.30 as the electro DJ took to the decks and spun eminently danceable tunes until well into the morning, managing to keep the club packed despite its Tuesday night slot.

It might end late but Hype has a relatively early start by Argentine standards, with the party kicking off at midnight. It’s not necessary to bide your time until 3am, as is the case for the majority of weekend boliches. Nevertheless this is still Buenos Aires so don’t expect anyone to be there at its opening hour. Entrance is cheap, especially if you mention The Argentina Independent or sign up to the guestlist on Facebook, in which case it’s free until 1.30. Afterwards a mere $20 includes a mixed drink. Inside, the bar offers happy hour prices until 1am, with drinks remaining affordable throughout the night.

Foreigners constitute approximately 80% of the crowd, according to events promoter Ivan Carrasco’s estimation. Indeed, promotion is specifically targeted at tourists, travellers and expats, with English-language publications, hostels and gringo-friendly businesses their first port of call. The idea is to offer a space in which foreigners can catch up with the tunes they miss from home. As Ivan explains, “most Argentines don’t really like the music.” The night has been going from strength to strength since its launch at Kika in March, and Ivan considers it to be “a new concept” occupying a place all to itself in Buenos Aires’ diverse musical landscape.

Don’t come expecting whatever your perceptions of what constitutes an authentic Argentine experience to be fulfilled, Club Kika wears its cosmopolitan atmosphere proudly on its sleeve. It purveys a very Western brand of cool designed to appeal to trend-conscious Europeans and North Americans, as well as Argentines with their fingers on the pulse of global culture. Nevertheless, if it’s a young international crowd, respectably priced bar and a good selection of party tunes which deviate from the reggaeton/80s template so inexplicably favoured by Buenos Aires’ club scene that you’re looking for, then Hype is worth the hype.

Naming a night after a Slovenian sociologist, philosopher and social critic, who has the beard to match, married an Argentine and found himself splashed across the pages of ‘Caras’ is perhaps suitable for a party like Žižek. Like Slavoj Žižek, the night that takes place every Thursday at Niceto Club, Palermo, confounds its public by refusing to stick to one fluid ideology.

Wading through the hordes of surprisingly stationary electronica fans at Niceto to get to ‘Lado B’ (which must mean ‘backroom’ in Spanish because the place is tiny), you may be greeted with the now familiar rhythms of reggaeton and cumbia. But hold the phone, continue a little further and it sounds like someone dropping English-speaking rhymes in a decidedly urban manner.

The ‘mash-up’ is the stand out extract of the Žižek creed; utilising the music of one genre with the vocals of another. The environment certainly puts out some positive vibes and makes a refreshing change from your average night in Buenos Aires. It’s a beautiful thing to get in, go to the bar for a drink, then dance to some cumbia beats with hip-hop vocals, or a reggaeton track with bashment toasting laid over the top.

The crowd’s made up of hip young types who enjoy their cumbia, but perhaps aren’t up for a late night jaunt to Once. Rubbing shoulders are b-boys dressed head-to-toe in New Era and Nike, nice girls who may scowl at you for daring to walk anywhere near them, gringos out on the lash in Palermo, and average folks who are just having a chilled night out. The night features resident DJs Villa Diamante, Nim and G-Love, and VJ Lucas DM alongside a wide variety of specially invited guests every week (the internationally renowned Diplo, whose production styles helped launch MIA onto the map, DJed Žižek’s 1st anniversary bash last year).

However, in many ways it is the tools with which Žižek operates that sets its limits. Lado B of Niceto is a small place and the overwhelming popularity of the night makes it difficult to dance, let alone move around. It is bizarre considering the electronica night taking place in the main room is less popular and features about as much dancing as ten year olds at a school disco. Then again, one Saturday a month they do remedy this by having Super Žižek perform a takeover on Lado A.

The difficult juggling of various genres leads to some haphazard mixing at times (and woe betide you if you show up to DJ with a laptop) but overall the range of selectas is good. As much as I’ve tried to enjoy reggaeton and cumbia, it’s difficult to stay awake to the exact same riddim for hours on end. ‘Mashing it up’ provides a cute distraction, but eventually there comes a time to send this one-trick pony to the knacker’s yard. However the sheer variety in DJs, and the organisers’ competence in attracting them, means you might have a bad experience one week and a blast the next.

Check the potential DJs beforehand, go on the right night and it could be excellent. Get there early and not only will you get in for cheaper, but you’ll be able to enjoy yourself a bit without being pressed against a wall.

Žižek takes place every Thursday at Niceto Club, Niceto Vega, Palermo, starting at 11pm. It’s $10 for chicas and $15 for chicos until 1am, after which it’s $30 for all. There’s a 2×1 guestlist until 1am, check www.whatsupbuenosaires.com/zizek
