EDM Nightclubs

A lively city that never sleeps on the West Coast, Seattle is packed with nightclubs in every area of the city. Just last year, only about half of the nightclubs mentioned below had specific nights of the week dedicated to EDM. But Emerald CIty being one of the leading cities in the growth of EDM, many nightclubs now have EDM-only nights to cater to the boom both to satisfy customers and to boost their venue's popularity. 

Tap Tap Productions, one of Seattle's leading entertainment company dedicated to their mission of spreading EDM culture all around the Pacific Northwest, partnered up with Volume Nightclub in the summer of 2012 to begin one of the current crazes: EDM Wednesdays at Volume. Volume, nestled in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle, has always been a popular destination for dance lovers ages 18 and up (most Seattle clubs are 21+). The club, however, saw an extreme growth in their popularity once they added their Wednesday night special guest DJs and EDM themed events. 

On any given night, Volume would have about 300-450 guests in their venue, sometimes up to 600 guests on special weekends. But the fact that Wednesday is in the middle of the work week has never stopped new and old EDM lovers from going out to Volume. Their mid-week event, mostly publicized via social media and radio ads, has the highest attendance rate, sometimes even having to turn people down, which the club barely ever has to. 

EDM Wednesdays which began in August 2012 only retained about 400 or 500 guests in the beginning, but by mid-September when they began featuring more popularly known artists, more than about 900 people showed up. Their biggest headliner yet, Krewella, guest starred on September 12th where the wait outside the club wrapped all around the corner for as people stood for 3 hours, hoping to get in. Needless to say, many did not due to the club's small capacity. That did not stop music lovers to continue coming back every Wednesday. It is now one of Seattle EDM's staple weekly events, which now feature more nationally known artists as well as showcasing local talents to spread the joys of the music culture. 

By adding EDM-themed nights at clubs, many have seen a growth in their venue's popularity while spreading the love of EDM to newcomers and retaining the dedicated customers who are already hooked.
