Venue Spotlight - CLUB RUMOR (Philadelphia, PA)

By now its safe to say that most Philadelphians who frequent the city's nightlife have by now heard of the newest addition to our small/medium venues, Club Rumor! It opened with a serious bang on its first night with Markus Shulz back in September. Club Rumor has since begun the process of filling a much-needed niche in the Philadelphia dance music scene, as both a club and a new venue for EDM artists to perform.  The sound system is nothing to sneeze at, and with some crazy lighting (especially the trippy ceiling squares) and a fairly priced bar this is a venue that the ragers of the city have been waiting on for some time now.  Oh, and I haven’t even gotten to ticket prices yet! As long as you look at it as a concert instead of a cover charge, this place is hard to beat for ticket prices. With tickets for acts like Marcus Schossow, Eddie Halliwell, & Nadastrom hovering in the $20 range (plus or minus a few), this could be amongst the most manageable nights out in Philly… eardrums notwithstanding.

Thus far, one of the biggest acts to land at Rumor (next to Markus Shulz) has not been a person at all but rather an entire production! Club Space (from Miami) has been taking its entire production crew on tour, and every third Thursday of the month you can find them inhabiting Rumor and bringing the party to us! This kicked off with DJ Justin Sheppard, but will continue next month with recently announced act DJ Louis Puig taking the helm this time around. Don’t forget to check out some of their other upcoming shows including Stefano Noferini on (3/9/2012) and M.I.K.E. & Sonny Wharton on March 2 (2012), and of course make sure to stop by every Saturday for their signature “Automatic Saturdays” party. As the city grows and as EDM takes hold, there’s no doubt that the biggest of big-name talent will still choose venues like The Electric Factory or The Starlight Ballroom, but for the small/medium sized crowds Club Rumor may be the new gold standard in Philadelphia!
