\"Chattanooga

Chattanooga Club is the new Thursday night session at the club Florida Retiro, which is also new.<\/p><\/div>\n

Only some people will remember the buzzing scene in Madrid five or six years ago, when every day \u2013from Wednesday to Sunday\u2013 there was something different to do at night in Madrid<\/strong>. Crowds that seemed to go on forever had the chance to catch sessions by artists like El\u00e1stico, V, Diamante, Stardust and Zombie when they played in the city in heaving clubs like Pirandello, Charada, Boite and Cool<\/strong>. We will hold all of these nights close to our hearts forever\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This whirlwind of nightlife, however, gradually petered out in the following years. Little by little, venues started to pull the plug on Madrid\u2019s best sessions<\/strong> as people got tired or lost interest. The decline in consumption undoubtedly didn\u2019t help much either. And many of us began to feel a sort of nostalgia that would run through us even on Pride nights. But, as in many other areas, it would seem that something new is brewing in Madrid. That a new awakening of the world\u2019s best nightlife has been building for some time now. And that this season, which kicked off just a short time ago in September, will spell the rebirth of nights that go on until 6am, full of options that should not be missed. Here\u2019s my forecast for what\u2019s to come:<\/p>\n

\"Baila,

Baila, cari\u00f1o<\/p><\/div>\n

For some good old strutting and partying<\/strong><\/p>\n

The standard crowd, eager to have some fun, mainstream transvestism, pop divas with house leanings\u2026 There are so many and such a range of options for this season that I don\u2019t even know where to start. Pop Yourself<\/strong> <\/a>from Sunday to Thursday at the club Republik<\/strong><\/a> is one of the newest arrivals on the scene. Trastero Club<\/strong><\/a> at the club Pirandello<\/strong><\/a> is the place to go if you\u2019re looking to strut your stuff to eclectic indie pop tunes. MalaMala<\/strong><\/a> is packed on Saturdays at the club <\/strong>Cool<\/strong><\/a>, and Jaleo Club<\/strong><\/a> (Thursdays), It\u2019s Boite Bitch<\/strong> and Ultrapop<\/strong> at the legendary club Boite<\/strong><\/a> are three of the most fun and crowded night-time partying sessions around. DVN<\/strong> and Baila Cari\u00f1o!<\/strong>\u00a0are the Friday and Saturday sessions at Baila, Cari\u00f1o<\/strong><\/a>, which is a true icon for hetero-friendly night-time entertainment (with a new early bar at Teatros Luchana<\/strong><\/a>!), and at Que Trabaje Rita<\/strong><\/a> there\u2019s also the new Happy Friday<\/strong>. For everything else, head to the neighbourhood of Chueca<\/strong><\/a> and its infinite bars and clubs.<\/p>\n
