Get home. Take a cold shower with a beer in hand. Head to the nearest coffee shop and TALK TO ALL OF THE THINGS!

It's more of a practice technique, you have to develop it through talking to coworkers while working. Use the tricks on the women there, the oldest married ones where it's almost never effective, great practice.

warm up sets. even talking to guys. Just make it completely casual and/or ridiculous topics.

Talk very loud, be obnoxious, get into bro mode. Don't be afraid to bother others.

I definitely know what you are referring to. Generally I'm really anxious at first, but once the ball gets rolling, I don't even think about it.

For me, a couple of things help:

Spend 5 minutes (with a timer) lying down with your eyes closed in a quiet room and trying to keep focusing on your breathing. This is essentially a very basic meditation exercises, and has a lot of other benefits, but in this case, it creates a mental divide between the "work mode" and the "party mode" which comes once you are done the breathing exercise.
In a similar vein, right before you enter the place where you're supposed to be in "party mode," pause, close your eyes, take a deep breath and say, "this is it. Starting now." It's a mental trick but it works.
Have a drink. Have another one. Know your limit though: you want to have a mild buzz, but no more (at least initially).
Just talk to some people. It's ok if it's a guy. The intention is to warm up at talking to strangers and get into a social mood.

I enjoy my day job as an IT guy being confined to my screen

I'm no doctor, but that seems to be your problem. Branch out, talk to people, or talk to yourself, or talk to fake online people. But if you want to be in a social mood, the bottom line is that you have to find social exercise.

Alcohol.

Redbull vodkas and starting the night out at a quiet bar. After 30 minutes or so of talking it up and being friendly I move to the crowded places.

I'm in Accounting so basically the same thing.

What gets me going is music and getting ready. Just bumping the beats and getting myself ready to go out pumps me up. Helps also to have some friends to banter with before heading out, gets you in the mood for talking. Warm up sets also help, bartenders, ppl in line, bouncers...anything to get you in a talking mood.

Make approaches, when you get blown out(I don't care how good you are, you're going to get blown out when in a work mindset) immediately go up to the next girl, and so on. Make really good eye contact. If you do these to things I promise you that you'll be in party mode in 20 minutes max. I got this straight from Tyler Durden and it works.

Talk to people you're already comfortable with, and a few drinks.
