Marrakech, the nightlife city, but where are the clubs?
L9adya 7amda w la bghiti tzha m3a 3chranek, l7el lwahid li kayen hoa tmchi tchrb fbar fin alt9a special b 20dh 7ta l 50/60 dh pression 1/2L maximayiane w atrj3o ldar tmzko w tcht7o, ila kann mazal fikom. Sinon, atmchi tchri chrabk mn pissri w tglss fdar, li machi blast zho brojola. Darkom blasst ra7tek w ra7t jiranek. One important fact is que Marrakech hosts the biggest festivals dial electronic musics, parties ki t’organizaw fdes espaces ouverts, w kayn la demande, walakine kaytdaro des tickets bwahed taman khayali w kay kono b3aqd 3la lmdina. Had sa3a mn ghir l’envers, ma kayen walo w 7ta had space mediour lwahed now3 bdebt dial lmossi9a. Sound system dialo mamdiorch l les basses frequences, kay 3ti l’importance l lmids w lhighs li houma melodies, vocals, hihats…. amma des grosses basses wla des grosses subs, mazal ma ja we9thom.
Kola blad w kola mdina kbira bdbt 3ndha lclub dialha li mchhor, li khela wahed la culture tntacher w tkber, fin bnadem ki nssa machakilo w ki prepare rasso lsimana dlkhdma li jaya. Fabric, Berghain, La Station Gare des Mines, Corsica, Pixie, le META... f europe aw Smoking Kills, Pandemonio w blayess akhrin mam3rofinch mn Johansburg l Cairo. Had lblayess kamline are shaping a new generation of people.
Mais bon, maghadich n3eddo lyed li weklatna, kayinin chi blayess fmarrakech li r7bo bina w fin zhina blmzyane, tkhalotate wa tajamo3ate n9yine fin bnadem, ki ma kant their story ki ji w ki zha, mais hadi machi men lkhedma dial les espaces mais plutôt dial les collectifs. Shoutout to L’envers but it’s the only space that allows it. Kayena 2zma dial les espaces li ki kheliw tb3a “Special”. Ama lBCKSTG, hoa spacialement m9wd bzaf, wlkn unfortunatly ki tmarketa bzayed. L’identité dial le club se veut d’être un Club “Underground”; 3ndo lkemara walakine ki bi3 espace 🤮“VIP”🤮 wra DJ. Après faut dire que vu que l’espace se veut “underground”, il n’est pas facile d’accès, parce que l’underground c’est pour des gens select.... 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 , donc tu payes 300DH pour entrer. Je me demande s’ils se rendent compte du fait qu’ils se cachent derrière un terme qui est vaguement compris aslan w ils suppriment de leurs clients les gens dial l’underground... une bonne partie de la jeunesse de Marrakech et du Maroc qui a envie de ce genre d’espaces et d’evenements et n’a pas la possibilité de se permettre de poser 300 DH d’entré 1 fois par semaine sans compter les boissons sans l’avoir dans le cul. Don’t use the name of underground of you are capitalist bro 🥱.

En general, it’s the space that makes history, not a specific collective. Les clubs kano present fcultures dial lmokhtalafine (people that feel different) mn ch7al f3alam kamel, w liouma in 2024, we, in Morocco, are still struggling to find a real space run by something else than bzaf dlmarketing.

Le club, flarchitecture dialo kay kon mdyor bach mat7esch brassk wsst lmdina, awla west la réalité. You mostly get into a dark space where the light game makes you feel like dkhlti lchi 3alam jdid, delma katkhelik tnssa rassek w matsouwe9ch lch3b that surrounds you, skhonia dial dancefloor kat 3en9ek b7al mamak mli knti sghir w katbki, the bass makes your heart vibrate, the melodies let you travel, kat hezek mn dak dlam li kan dakhel lik l9lbk w ki 7erek lik every atom of your body, les rythmes ki kheliw t7erek w t3r9 and suddenly, you are in a happy place. Nothing else matters. Mais c’est pas obligatoire, look at Luanda - Angola fin ki chet7o nass :

Also, Culture dial SoundSystem bdat f zna9i dial l’UK bach black people took back their rights of expression back then 7itach kolchi kan reservé lboyed. f Europe, kayen des innitiatives kaytdaro fin dowla kat investi fdes batiments 9dam bach mayb9awch ha myitin f l’espace urbain w t7erek fihom d3wa ki 3tiwhom ldes associations wla des collectifs li ki tkelfo b’lespace avec un fond donné lhad nass w ki tl3o bih espace jdid.

Majawch w galo Last Night the DJ saved my Life, walakine machi le DJ bo7do, l’espace kamel ki khelik tkhl9 lrassk new stories, new laughter, new experiences, new conversations for the time of one night. Mn DJ l l’ingé son, lbarman, nass li jaw, li tahouma b7alna, kolchi ki weli zwine ila kenti nta fwahed lmood dial open heart, and that’s the beauty.
