Don't know about you, but I think it's about some time for secular fun. The Gregorian Calendar is most helpful for marking that one day when the entire globe decides that they will share 24 hours of reverie. Santos Party House put their weight on it, bringing in the infamous Made Event posse who engineer some of the city's most incredible nights, including the brilliant Respect residency in the summer of 2008. They've put together a wicked line-up to ring in the New Year in the spirit of unadulterated mirth.

LEE BURRIDGE

Many producer's are also disc jockeys and vice versa, but few have managed to excel at both roles with the same finesse as Lee Burridge. Beginning as a mobile disco operator in Great Britain, the early 90's saw his move to Hong Kong where his talent became a galvanizing force for the newborn disco scene. With a foundation in acid house that permeates throughout his eyebrow-raising brand of minimal techno, his original mixes and compositions are keystones for dance music aficionados, as is his Almost Anonymous imprint. A former member of the Tyrant Sound System with DJ Sasha and Craig Richards, Burridge has performed to unruly audiences in every corner of the world and on stage at Burning Man, the San Francisco Love Parade and Save The Cannibals. He has been on DJ Magazine's prestigious top 100 list consecutively since 1999. He told ClubPlanet what distinguished him from other Dj's....

Why do so many DJs look like they aren't having a good time? It's like they're made out of cardboard. This music is amazing. This job isn't a job. We can stay up late and even if you're a butt-ugly DJ, girls seem to pay attention to you. I guess that going out and dancing to music has always been a lot of fun for me and I find it very difficult to stand still when there's a track playing that I like, and I like all the tracks I play!

Fiona Walsh of Clubbers Guide Ireland recently sat down with Lee to chat about his New Year's Eve event at Santos...

Lee Burridge has been touring and traveling the world as a DJ for 26 years and shows no signs of slowing down. CGI caught up with him before his big NYE Club gig at Santos Party House in NYC.

Fiona: You’re in New York for the MADE EVENT New Year’s Eve gig at Santos Party House – are you excited about that gig? Have you played in New York on NYE before?

Lee: I'm really excited. New York always gets that same flutter of excitement going every time I visit. I think this is actually the first time I've done New Year's Eve. It's going to be good to spend it with friends and I hear Santos Party house is wicked.

Fiona: If you weren’t working on NYE – what would you be doing?

Lee: Breaking in to peoples houses or dancing.

Happy Holidays from Santos

Santos would like to thank all our fellow party people for such a mind-blowing year. There were more highlights then we can even name (and probably a few we don’t remember so well). We feel so fortunate to be privy to the music, art, dance, laughter, love and togetherness that has taken place at Santos over the last year, it really has been a magical.

Santos is growing, and like any organism we’re developing and changing as we get older (wait until you see our new lights!). However, our mission has not changed. We’re still chasing the platonic ideal of the perfect party. We’re still promoting the ecstatic feeling of oneness that rhythm creates, gathering people of diverse backgrounds under one roof. We’re still presenting music and art that challenges, inspires and unites. And, of course, we’re still serving delicious ice-cold beers.

As the excitement of the New Year approaches we can’t help but look back over the last year with a bittersweet nostalgia. So many amazing people, amazing smiles, amazing dancers, amazing musicians, and most importantly amazing moments. Moments that made our hair stand on it end, moments that you knew everyone in the room was feeling the same magic we were. What a year.

2009 was not without its sadness and hardship we lost a lot of great people, people who will live in our memories forever. Whether due to drugs, accidents, or old age, death is always painful, but it also reminds us to live everyday to the fullest.

On a less metaphysical level, the tough economic realities of 2009 forced us make a number of difficult decisions, none harder that letting go of nights and talent that we support and love to the fullest. Santos operates as a family, and when we are forced to let go of someone for economic reasons, it feels like selling a limb (it sucks). This was especially the case letting go of Rich Medina. Rich tore the roof off of Santos on many occasions over the last year and a half. We all love and respect what he is, as an artist and a man. Times being what they are financially, we were forced to trim back our roster on Fridays and re-appropriate resources to other areas. This was solely the decision of the club; its owners and managers. For the record, Q-tip was not involved at all in the decision to let rich go, despite rumors to the contrary. We were also forced to switch up our Saturday residency with Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter (which brought us, in many way our dream line up- I mean Moodyman and Egyptian Lover on the same night, what???) and Thursday with DJ Spinna, maybe the best DJ in NYC. Both Journey and Mister Saturday Night were in-house staff favorites, unfortunately they just weren't economically feasible.

For 2010, we've got a lot of surprises in store for NYC. Santos Party House, has only begun its journey. Stay Tuned. Happy Holidays and best of luck to everyone in the new year.

Love,
Santos
