We’re Back at THE CHANCELOOR ROOM!

The Chancellor Room

Hidden behind an unassuming entrance in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, the Chancellor Room offers an intimate, elevated escape from the ordinary.

Designed as a refined speakeasy, the space blends expertly crafted cocktails with a music driven atmosphere powered by high fidelity sound and immersive production. The result is a room where every detail feels intentional, from the energy of the crowd to the depth of the music.

Whether you are discovering it for the first time or returning for another unforgettable night, The Chancellor Room invites you to step inside, settle in, and experience nightlife the way it was meant to be.

Vision

We believe that "staying out late" should be a choice, not a requirement for a world-class party.

Matinée Dance Party was created by DJ Eddie Tully for a specific community: the house heads, the rave kids, and the dance music lovers who still have the fire but have outgrown the 2:00 AM lifestyle. We saw a void in the nightlife scene for those who want the pure, high-octane energy of a legendary nightclub without the exhaustion of a "hangover day" spent recovering.

Mission

At Matinée Dance Party, we believe that your love for the dance floor shouldn't have an expiration date—it just needs a better time slot. Our mission is built on a single, uncompromising truth:

"We aren't retiring from the party; we’re just perfecting the schedule. Dance hard, go home early, and wake up ready to take on the world."

The Experience

"We don't just play music; we curate an atmosphere. The Matinée is a high-fidelity journey through the genres that defined generations—from the analog warmth of '70s Disco and '80s Dance-Pop to the electric pulse of '90s House and the rhythmic grit of early-2000s Hip-Hop.

We deliver the unfiltered, peak-hour energy of a midnight club, intentionally reimagined for the early evening. It’s the perfect escape for the 30+ crowd: an immersive, high-octane dance floor where you can let loose before the sun goes down, experience the euphoria of a late-night set, and still be home to recharge by 11:00 PM.

Ditch the late-night grind. Reclaim your night."‍
