What do you think of local club music?
By Tori McCarthy
The most prominent genre that is played in Czech clubs is definitely house music, four-on-the-floor kind of stuff. I was surprised about how influential Western pop music is on the club scene though. Even though house music dominates, there are usually samples of popular American pop songs woven into the dance music, or even sometimes American Top 40 songs are simply played in their original form. -NYU junior Garrett Houghton, 20, Music Business major
It’s really entertaining hearing the ‘oldies’. I mostly hear American music. I’m not really into techno but it’s got a good beat. Czech music is really different. – NYU junior Rachel Lodi, 20, English major
The music in Prague’s clubs tends to vary from Top-40 hits (not unlike most American clubs) to more nostalgic and purely fun dance tunes from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Depending on which club you’re at, you can hear anything from LMFAO to Vanilla Ice. -NYU junior Aaron Marks, 20, English major
I enjoy the music I hear in Czech clubs, but it’s mostly stuff I could find in New York. However, I would be more interested in hearing more regional music. – NYU senior Rachel Small, 21; Media, Culture, Communication major
