#Nightclubs never made that much money from drinks and tickets even in the 1990s/00s - they were propped up by laundered #drugs money and other activities of OCGs (organised crime groups)!

Society stopped tolerating this around 10-20 years ago (as the NHS, Social Services and other public services ended up picking up the pieces of #addiction and #DUI), hence why there's been a decline in clubbing outside of big cities with good public transport, although keeping folk safe on the streets *outside* the venues is also an issue..

How I analyzed the lineups at the world's most popular nightclubs

A few years back I did a bit of dance music related data visualization over at Lazily Evaluated. My favourite was an analysis of clubs and their lineups using Resident Advisor / RA data, I called it Clubster Analysis. I always wanted to dig into the technical aspects of gathering the data, analyzing it and building the charts and graphs to tell a story and give people insight. With this blog I now have the right venue for that kind of tech talk, so here goes.
