Roxy is looking to be the go-to nightclub for EDM music on Saturday nights for UCF students.
With busses leaving from in front of UCF Gym at 10pm, UCF students had to the chance to the attend the first KONTROL Saturday of the Summer B term. KONTROL is held every Saturday night and is hosted by Orlando promoting company, Evolve Group.
The growing EDM scene in Orlando had lines out the door and wrapped around the building at 11pm and a full house by midnight. Not surprisingly, David Tort, the headlining artist is pretty popular, boasting 43 thousand Facebook ‘likes’.
“We built this night around music and we stick to it. We took the ego out of the equation in nightlife here,” said Mike Grinberg, a head promoter for Evolve group.
One UCF student, Linsey Paddock, who attended the event was surprised about what the event had to offer.
“I’m used to the UCF nightlife scene and Downtown Orlando. Roxy is neither of those, but still great time and something new and exciting to go to,” Paddock said.
Roxy is promoting Electronic Dance Music style events every Saturday including popular artist TJR on Saturday, July 6 and Flosstradamus on Saturday, July 13.
