BIG SATURDAY: DJ ANDY MOORE upstairs, TROUBLE & BASS underground

Dance.Here.Too with DJ Andy Moor
Saturday, February 20 10:00PM 21+
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE





What is it with Benny Soto and Rob Fernandez? They way they are constantly booking fire you'd it was Farenheit 451. Too far I know, but that's how we roll here at Santos. This week they're brining us a trance wizard listed ranked by DJ Mag ahead of John Digweed and Daft Punk to name a few.

Anyone who think that trance is an insular, joyless sect of house would have trouble explaining the phenomenon of Andy Moor. Not only have his remix capabilities been sought out by everyone from Paul Oakenfoald to Britney Spears, but his solo efforts have become a sonic beacon for a loyal dance afficionadoes from all continents. Having stepped into the game as a wonderkind in his late teens, he has since racked up a number of accolades including a Grammy nomination, "Best Track" and "Best Producer" trophies from the Trance Awards, "Best Dance Record" from the Dance Music Awards as well as a regular placement on best of lists in MixMag and DJ Magazine. While he has clearly perfected the psychedelic, mind-expanding art of trance, the beats have never taken a backseat and his music is intensely kinetic and dancefloor-ready. As the headliner of Dance.Here.Too (his first time back in the Big Apple for quite some time), he will be hitting off the crowd of house music lifers with a window into the mind of a musical genius.

Rob Fernandez & Benny Soto, the promoters behind award-winning shindig Dance.Here.Now., are proud to present Dance.Here.Too. A new concept in weekend fun that adapts the music-first DHN vibe to a party after which you don’t have to wake up for work.
Set at Santos Party House – one of the city’s best dance-friendly venues with a custom sound system that defies ear fatigue – DHT will bring the focus back to you, your friends and the music. No nonsense, no door drama, no fuss.

Troule & Bass featuring DZ and Kanji Kinetic
Saturday, February 20 10:00PM 21+
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE




The DJ team/production mob/record label known as Trouble & Bass are earning worldwide recognition for their diverse yet cohesive coalition of low-end professionals. They have a high-BPM, movement centric approach to the heavy and grimey spectra of dubstep and drum n' bass that fills rooms with people who battle the thick sounds with wild movement. Their membership spans the globe and includes AC Slater, Mikix The Cat, Star Eyes, Drop The Lime and Supra 1.

Headlining the bill is DZ, whose foundation in hip-hop and trip-hop took on a sound of its own once dubstep became the prominent element of his sound. He remains a devious remixer of an unpredictable repertoire of artists including the Wu-Tang Clan, Major Lazor and Bobby Caldwell.

Kanji Kinetic, who normally reps the Trouble & Bass banner in the UK, will get trans-Atlantic with his bizarre, wobbly, and glitchy tambours. His dense arrangements feature the temporal manipulation of bass into a bizarre yet oddly catchy and physical melody.

Dance.Here.Too bringing us FUNKAGENDA on Saturday 1/23!

DANCE.HERE.TOO with FUNKAGENDA
Saturday, January 23rd 11:00PM 21+
TICKETS HERE

Dance.Here.Too, the city's most important weekly for futuristic house with an old-school vibe, will be bringing stacking the decks with a master of drops.

Funkagenda boasts an extremely nuanced yet anthemic approach to his thumping techno grooves. Starting as a programmer for his father's performances, he was heavily involved in recording, playing in rock bands and creating solo 4-tracks until Voodoo Ray introduced him to dance music and the techonlogical revolutions therein. His complete repurposing of samples reflects his ability to blend a enormous range of vibes and emotions during his DJ sets. He has a wide crossover appeal into other subgenres of underground dance music including trip-hop, downtempo, and tribal dance. Artists for whom he has remixed include Radiohead, Guitarra G, Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, Bat For Lashes, Moby and Michael Cleveland.


SPECIAL FOR THIS WEEK: FREE entry before midnight if you RSVP here!

A very BOYS NOIZE Halloween tomorrow night with FIXED, POCKETKNIFE, C'MISH and DON VU

BOYS NOISE with resident JDH, Pockenife, C'mish and Don VU
October 31, 2009 10:00 PM
[ADVANCE TICKETS SOLD OUT. TICKETS AVAILABLE WHEN DOORS OPEN.]


BOYS NOIZE


European techno often carries a benign and effete stigma, but musical prodigy and entrepreneur Alex Ridha , or BOYS NOIZE to you, presents dense and blisteringly percussive motifs that are meant to stimulate the mind and dancing shoe. Bolstered by his training as a pianist and percussionist, Boys Noize has broken from the confines of Berlin electro and has rapidly burst onto the international scene with his underground club appeal and his flair for the remix, not to mention the love he’s receiving from other mix virtuosos like Erol Alkan and A-Trak as they mine his tracks in tribute. His new album Power is out today, with the lead-off single “Starter” trailblazing the internet and driving beat junkies to any dancefloor he touches.

The student of Berlin electro cult figure D.I.M., Ridha was a mere 24 years old when his first LP Oi Oi Oi saw worldwide release in 2007. His timing could not have been better, as his remixes for Bloc Party’s “Banquet” and Kaiser Chiefs “Every Day I Love You Less and Less” were winning over the most influential club DJ’s with internet access. Aside from his own Boysnoize record lable, his material has been published by DJ Hell’s Deejay Gigolos label, Tiga’s Turbo Recordings label and Kitsuné Music. His track “& Down” was featured in the Grand Theft Auto IV (which set record debut sales). He has traded off remixes with other composer/mixers including SebastiAn, Justice and Surkin to name a few. As Tiga puts it, “For most of the past 2 years, Boys Noize records have saved by life as a DJ.”

On Halloween 2009, Boys Noize will be summoning the most unholy of spirits via Santos Party House’s massive soundsystem, wringing all the energy he can out of every woofer and tweeter. Joining him will be FIXED party architects JDH and Dave P who consistently satisfy the most discerning of electro fiends. Your best bet is to dress up as someone who can rock.
