“The History of the World’s Greatest Nightclubs” is een 12-delige podcast met Paris Hilton als uitvoerend producent en Ultra Naté als host. De serie neemt je mee naar de nachtclubs die wereldwijd het uitgaansleven hebben getransformeerd. Het zijn de plekken waar nieuwe muziekgenres ontstonden en waar politieke activisten samenkwamen. Maar bovenal waren het toevluchtsoorden waar mensen de dagelijkse realiteit konden ontvluchten, zich konden verliezen in de muziek en zichzelf konden zijn op de dansvloer.
“The History of the World’s Greatest Nightclubs.” From London Audio, iHeartRadio, and executive producer Paris Hilton.
Hosted by Ultra Naté, this is a 12-part podcast exploring how different clubs around the world revolutionized the way we party. How they ushered in the birth of new genres and became hotspots for political activism. But above all how they created space for people to escape the world around them, to lose themselves in the music and leave it all on the dance floor.
Nightclubs are sanctuaries where people find their chosen family. It’s where you experience the joy of dancing in crowded rooms with people open to accepting you for who you are, or whoever you want to become, even if it’s only for the night.
Partying brings us together. Whether that’s under a mirror ball in New York or out in the sun in Lagos, beneath the glare of bright strobe lights in Berlin or while listening to the early sounds of a new genre in Detroit. They influence one another.
Nightclubs do change the way we see the world. Because the pure joy of a good party has the unique ability to transcend language, culture and place. To reach people from different parts of the world and unite them through the magical, unshakable, desire to… dance.
“The History of the World’s Greatest Nightclubs” is executive produced by Paris Hilton, Bruce Gersh and Bruce Robertson for London Audio, and Jonathan Hirsch for Neon Hum Media.
Special thanks to our host and executive producer, Ultra Naté and the team at Peace Bisquit, Bill Coleman and Angelo “Pepe” Skordos.
When WOMB opened in 2000, Japan’s nightlife scene was still in its infancy with a strict ban on dancing after midnight that made it almost impossible to run a regular nightclub. But over the past two decades, the revolutionary club has transformed the way people in Tokyo party. This is the story of how the club went from an idea born on the dancefloors of New York into one of Japan’s most famous nightclubs. How a club that’s been open for over 20 years, became a hotspot for international DJs and found a way to uplift local talent and survive through the pandemic.
