Welcome to AREA 2181, a brand new nightlife experience for faggots 21 years old to 81 years old (and beyond). AREA 2181 is an experimental gay men’s dance party that happens every third Saturday at The Seattle Eagle.
AREA 2181 is a place for YOU to experiment. This is the one night a month where you break free from your boring Capitol Hill bar routine and actually go out to BE out. There is no standing and modeling at AREA 2181. There is no browsing awkwardly on Scruff and Grindr. At AREA 2181 we are asking YOU to bring out your stud side. Maybe you’ve never tasted fruit from the Daddy tree? Try it! Maybe you’ve never walked around with a butt plug in before? Do it! This isn’t the time to stay in your comfort zone – if you want that, I’ve got a baR up the stReet with youR name on it.
At AREA 2181, the PARTY is an experiment. AREA 2181 is constantly mutating. No two parties will ever be the same – this isn’t another “evening with Seattle’s glitterati” where you stand around and sip cocktails and wait for the drag show you’ve seen a million times to start. The theme will rotate every single month, and we will always push the “levels of taste”, so to speak. We want to keep you on your toes and give you something you’ve never seen before and will probably never see again.
AREA 2181 asks a simple and experimental question: What would happen if we gathered as many of Seattle’s gays as we could under one roof and told them all to party with each other? Maybe we’ll rediscover that whole “gay community” thing. Who knows.
So what exactly IS AREA 2181? I can’t wait for you to show me.
*** Special guest DJ TAFFI LOUIS (VAN, BC) ***
TAFFI LOUIS is a Vancouver-based, multi-genre DJ, perhaps best known lately for TRUCKERDISCO, a monthly party that's cultivated an enthusiastic, eclectic following of its own since 2011. From his early success introducing then-emerging electroclash and nu-disco to local gay nightlife, to headlining club nights in Seattle, San Francisco, Victoria, and Toronto, he has steadily built a unique reputation as a DJ defying simple categorization and reaching further.
In 2014, TAFFI LOUIS edits have won support from the likes of techno/electro icon The HACKER, Brooklyn modern disco ensemble MIDNIGHT MAGIC, and ITALO BRUTALO (Mozzarella Rec.).
He's recently appeared alongside locals like Abasi (Intimate Productions), Rennie Foster (RF, Rebirth), Woodhead (Homebreakin Records), as well as Nark (Seattle), La Royale (Electrique Music - Mexico City), and many others talents & tastemakers.
Art Of Beatz Radio (100.5FM) calls TAFFI LOUIS “a mastermind… leading the charge”, twisting notions of past and present musical genres into new possibilities. As likely to draw inspiration from vintage sounds (italo-disco, '80s synthpop) as modern (techno, house, electro), connecting with different audiences with a mixture of unexpected, familiar, and forgotten gems.
TAFFI LOUIS DJ sets are dynamic, responsive portraits of the audience and the moment. But there is no one, "typical" kind of set. Each one unfolds and tells its own story.
"Best Electronic DJ" Nominee, 3 years running (2012, 2013, 2014)- Vancouver Nightlife Awards

*** Resident DJ PAVONE ***
DEREK PAVONE has been making asses shake up and down the West Coast for nearly a decade. While he has been known primarily as a disco DJ, AREA 2181 will see him stepping away from his classic sound and into the darker corners of house, acid and techno.
