The Brief

LENDZ Nightlife is the live club scene inside LENDZ: three LENDZ clubs, BE, Vanity and Mirage, with the Stadium coming soon, and partner clubs streaming their real nights in. DJs play live from their own cities. Every guest is a LENDZ member, and a ticket is the way in. Each venue has its own public site with a live heat map that shows how hot each room is running, never how many people are in it.

§ 01

A night out, wherever you are

Going out used to mean being in the right city on the right night. LENDZ Nightlife brings the night to you. Open a club and you are in the room: the DJ live in the booth, the crowd around you, your friends a tap away.

It is built like a real night out because it is one. There is a door, and your ticket opens it. There are rooms, a bar and booths. And the DJ is a real person, playing live, from wherever they are tonight.

Start at the Nightlife page: every venue, what is on tonight and what is coming next.

§ 02

Three clubs, and the Stadium on the way

Each venue has its own public website, with its nights, its rooms and its live heat map.

Inside BE: a packed floor under a crystal chandelier, the DJ booth lit gold at the far end and brass rails in the foreground.

BE

The basement. Underground, loud and late. Visit BE.

Inside Vanity: gold mirrored balconies, pink spotlights over the crowd and the DJ, a lit pool and palm trees beyond under the city skyline.
Exhibit 02

Vanity

Mirrors, gold and the best tables in the house. Visit Vanity.

The Mirage at Mirage: an open-air crowd facing a giant LED wall between steel towers, teal lasers fanning into the night sky.
Exhibit 03

Mirage

Four rooms. One night. The Mirage, Warehouse, HALO and Karma, each playing its own set, and one ticket moves you between all four. Visit Mirage.

§ 03

See where the night is

Every venue's site carries a live heat map. Each room is drawn as a floor plan, and each part of it, the floor, the bars, the booths, glows in the club's colour and breathes faster and brighter as it fills. Before you walk in, you can see which room is going off.

It shows heat and nothing else. Never a headcount, never a capacity, never a name. The public pages are sent a level for each room and each part of it, and nothing more, so nobody can count a crowd or pick a person out of it.

§ 04

DJs from anywhere, one room, one relay

DJs play LENDZ Nightlife live from their own cities, on decks that run in the browser: two decks and a mixer, a MIDI controller if they bring one, and the camera on them. One room can pass from DJ to DJ, city to city, in a single night, like a relay baton.

  1. 01
    Procedure 01

    Check in

    Each DJ on the night's running order checks in from wherever they are.

  2. 02
    Procedure 02

    Sound check

    Before going on, the next DJ tests their sound in a private room of their own, out of the crowd's earshot, and hears their mix come back before saying it sounds good.

  3. 03
    Procedure 03

    On deck

    Sound checked, the next DJ says they are ready and stands on deck.

  4. 04
    Procedure 04

    The baton

    The DJ on air offers the room and the DJ on deck takes it. A short countdown, and the room is theirs.

  5. 05
    Procedure 05

    Call waiting

    Nothing switches on the clock. If the next DJ is not ready when a set is due to end, the DJ on air keeps the room and can add a little time until the next DJ is ready.

§ 05

Music the artists said yes to

Nothing plays in a LENDZ club that LENDZ does not have the rights to.

Exhibit 01

The LENDZ catalog only

DJs play songs from artists' Showcase pages, and only the songs whose artist switched on Allow in club sets. Never a DJ's own files.

Exhibit 02

Streamed, never downloaded

A track streams to the decks while it plays and is never downloaded or stored.

Exhibit 03

Artists share the door

On LENDZ's own club nights, a share of the admission and booth money goes to the artists whose songs were played, split by plays. It is paid to artists set up to earn on LENDZ; the night's own DJs earn nothing extra for playing their own songs.

§ 06

Partner clubs: real clubs, streaming in

A partner club is a real club that streams its night into LENDZ. The club runs its own night: its door, its times, its tables. LENDZ members watch from anywhere, free or for an admission the club sets.

Tables go through the club. A member asks for a table, and the club's own staff approve it or decline it.

Drinks go through the club, never the app. LENDZ never sells a drink. Once a table is approved, the member orders through the club's own point of sale. The app only gets people to the table.

§ 07

Throw your own night

Throw your own night at Mirage. For verified creators who are verified promoters.

Renting needs both: you must be a verified creator and a verified event promoter. Promoters apply with proof they can promote, their DJs and their crowd, and LENDZ reviews every application. Then pick a night, free or paid, and bring your own DJs, each of them a LENDZ member. One party per venue per night, so the room is yours. See Mirage.

§ 08

Your ticket is your way in

Every guest is a LENDZ member. Your ticket is your way in — if you're new, getting a ticket gets you in.

Exhibit 01

A night's link is an invitation

LENDZ is invite-only, but a night's flyer opens the door: someone new taps Get in, joins LENDZ and lands on that night.

Exhibit 02

The door checks the ticket

On a paid night the door lets in ticket holders and booth guests, along with the night's own DJs and staff. A free night needs no ticket at all.

Exhibit 03

Everyone is a member

There is no anonymous crowd. Everyone on the floor, at the bar and in the booth is a LENDZ member.

§ 09

Inside the room

Friends at a table with sparklers and champagne, raising glasses over the crowd, the pool and the skyline behind.

Exhibit 01

Four ways to be there

Room, DJ full screen, Visuals full screen or Chat. Switch whenever you like; the music never stops.

Exhibit 02

Find your friends

Friends here shows which of your people are in the club tonight. Take me there walks you over, or ask to join their table.

Exhibit 03

Book a booth

Verified members and creators can book a booth for their group, with admission for every guest included.

Exhibit 04

Safe all night

Call security or report someone from inside the night. Mute someone for tonight or block them everywhere, and the night's moderators can warn, silence or eject.

§ 10

The song report

After every night there is a song report, made for licensing: every song played, when it started and how long it played, its artist, the DJ who played it and the room it played in, with the night's totals and a download.

LENDZ staff read it for every night. A partner club's own staff read it for their nights, and a promoter who rented a club reads it for their party.
