TEMPO CARTAGENA
So I am the first to admit that electronic dance music (I actually had to google the acronym, EDM) is not really my jam. But for the many, many, many, many of you who are all about this genre.. then there is really only one club in Cartagena that does it justice.
Tempo is a new offering which sees some of the stalwarts of the Cartagena and Colombian dance scene, pool their collective pedigrees to create a space that previously wasn't available in Cartagena. Somewhere where they would want to play and party. Somewhere for serious dance music lovers.
So serious dance music needs great sound and, in Cartagena, you need that great sound to be enveloped in a space that won't invite the enquiries of noise-sensitive, bribe-seeking police. Tempo delivers.
From my research, you underground electronic dance music enthusiasts also quite like an ambiance where all senses are honed in on the music. If it can feel like time and space don't exist, even better. Tempo delivers an environment that is minimal and industrial, whilst still somehow feeling a little plush. It's also deathly dark so you won't be reminded of the annoying arrival of daylight while you're surrendering to the incessant beat.
If you're ready for a time-out, the patio offers open-air freshness and usually there's a different DJ selecting the outdoor vibe.
Drinks prices are on-par and maybe even a little below the rest of Centro Cartagena, but they definitely don't skimp on quality. One of Colombia's most respected and hardworking bartenders/bar consultants/ brand ambassadors, Camila Perez Ramirez is the force behind the bar team and the menu. So if you're not really a dancer, ask for a specially designed off-menu cocktail to keep the music company.
This is the club designed by and for the cool-kids of Colombia's dance scene, so you can be guaranteed the best house and guest DJs from Colombia and beyond. If you're serious about electronic dance music, Tempo is where those who know, go.
