In Bass We Trust headed back south recently to check out a brand new state of the art club. Event coordinator and national promoter based in Las Vegas, Derrick
Braun, recently opened his own flashy, shiny, nouevou incarnation of a
nightclub at the NC Music Factory in Charlotte, NC. ‘X’ as it’s known on the
street. There is also an attached Asian tapas restaurant upstairs, 'Bamboo Sky' and ample v.i.p and private seating areas.
The club is located next to Charlotte’s Super-club ‘Label’,
which on this night had played host to Dash Berlin. Not to be outdone in the
big name DJ department, ‘X’ has already hosted the house Don himself Pete Tong. With
Dash Berlin playing right next door at Label we naturally assumed the place
would be near empty. Wrong, it actually was fairly packed and near capacity.
Either they heard we were coming or the word is already out on this place! The VIP was popping, dance floor full of
southern girls dancing, the bartenders were fast and well…so refreshing coming
from NYC.
The club is located where Denny Hamlin’s nightclub endeavor
‘Butter’ formerly held court, but the entrance is now in the rear and the DJ
booth is….well, a protruding geometric sculpture 10 feet up the wall with a
barrage of visuals. The sound system was impressive with the brand new, shiny
red ceramic components. Void Audio is responsible for the audio installation
and it is magnificent. Having no idea who was playing, we were pleasantly
surprised to see ‘Kostas X’ laying some deep house down outside. Meanwhile, Ken
Focus was above the crowd bombing down upon the patrons an assault of brand new
electro and house bombs.
We highly recommend you check this place out. Top notch
venue!
