The dance-all-night crowd just got a new venue. And they have been waiting. Patiently. Long-term underground scenester Eddie Newman planned to open the place months ago near the night market, but the old folk there complained about loud music. So he moved to a strip on the riverfront across from the Naga casino where no one lives, dropped $50k on sound and lights, and now he intends to turn the music up. Really. Freakin’. Loud. The old place that never opened was called Code. This new place is Code Red. There’s reserved seating upstairs away from the crowds and big loungers with zebra-striped pillows tucked into the corners on the floor below. But the draw is the music – and given Newman’s street cred, the beats at Code Red are expected to make a consequential impact on the capital’s late-night club scene.
