Clubbing Feels

This project is a web-based application that focuses on exploring the spread of music genres in Western European clubbing culture.

The application is mainly exploratory. Based on all the events held in the biggest nightclubs of Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris and London in 2018, I built interactive maps and abstract designs that show the way people listen to different kinds of music.

Trying to bring context to the data visualization designs, I included the genres' backgrounds and stories about the cities' relationship to clubbing culture as far as nightlife and urbanism are concerned.

It was shortlisted for the Information Is Beautiful Awards 2018, which was quite the accomplishment for a fun personal project.

It's one of the first personal projects I built end-to-end: data scraping, data visualization design, web app development, etc. I was still a junior developer at the time, and looking back at it today I'm both proud of what I accomplished and kind of horrified at some of the technical choices, at the lack of optimization and at the absence of accessibility. Some day I'll re-do that project from scratch!
