DESYN MASIELLO 7/24 - TICKETS HERE

As a founder his own techno club and working at the legendary German Eye-Q Records, Chris Liebling was a well established entrepreneur in the world of electronic music by the late 90’s. His professional endeavors earned him the contacts, while honed his producing and remixing behind the scenes and built a following via his residencies at cult favorite dance clubs. As his club audiences grew, so did his platform to promote insanely infectious and pulsating deep techno grooves. He has become an Ibiza favorite, and a remixer by trade who has worked with the likes of DK8, Alex Bau and Sarah Walker. He is an international favorite and a creator whose music unites the most disparate of techno crowds, and the founder of CL-Records. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the world of techno and elevates the dance floor.

Desyn Masiello is an artist with a mission far beyond making asses shake. His goal is to elevate consciousness by fostering a sonic atmosphere of transcendental celebration (a good match for Santos!). Beginning in the late 90’s as a lover of trance and progressive house, he would pass out his own home spun mixes which over a year’s time hit the ears of the most influential people in dance music the world over. Soon he was an internationally booked DJ and co-owner of the Alternative Route and Sexonwax record labels. His collection Balance 008 was named “Best Compilation” by Uk’s M8 magazine. Masiello is also a party rocking wizard whose sets combine selections from nearly all facets of house music. His tireless work ethic has earned him the title “the man that never sleeps” as awarded by John Digweed.

Saturday (1/9/2010) Dance.Here.Too: HECTOR ROMERO, Sleepy & Boo and more!

DANCE.HERE.TOO
with Hector Romero, Sleepy & Boo, System Audible & Stimulus Response (downstairs)
January 9, 2010 11:00PM 21+
TICKETS HERE

Benny Soto and Rob Fernandez' DANCE.HERE.TOO set out to "bring back Saturday night." If reviving the weekend requires the most important minds in house and electronica spinning for a vibrant room boasting a thick, unpretentious crowd, then they've succeeded on a weekly basis since late November. This week they've got some fire talent this Friday, a full lineup of career party-rockers taking over both floors with some nicely articulated bass, warm mids and measured but assertive highs.




Hector Romero is a lifetime selector. While there's always a risk of a lackluster sets from producers and remixers who treat DJ sets like an obligatory chore, Romero has dedicated his life to assembling his repertoire and crafting taylor-made mixes specifically to the audience present. He is known as the operating management arm of Satosh Tomiie's Def Mix and SAW Recordings, and the international tastemaker for house, techno and electro heads. He rocks New York as easily as he does Ibiza, Spain, Italy, Greece or Canada. Those in attendance will have the pleasure of experiencing the artisanal sound experience.

Openers Sleepy & Boo are all about stripping the electronica scene of inflated pretention and filling it with a carefree, fun-obsessed attitude, not to mention the best in trance and techno. When not perusing their DJ monikers, aptly lifted from Super Mario, they are Basic NYC, grinding promoters of the city's illest deep house parties.

Live-mixing, effects and sinister synths define the unique sound of the four System Audible DJ’s. They’ve made a point to have “positivity” as their focal point, tailor-making their selections to the needs of any crowd.

The Stimulus Response team are all about the juxtaposition of the collective and individual, bringing their wild and diverse tastes and uniting them under a soulful house and techno umbrella. They have performed alongside legends such as Oscar G, Tedd Patterson, Richie Santana, and Peter Bailey.

AN HOUR OF 2-FOR-1 DRINKS STARTS AT 10PM!!!
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.

ZOMBI, ARP and HOURS OF WORSHIP brings mad science on Friday

Zombi, Arp, and Hours of Worship LIVE
Friday, December 18 2009 7:00 PM 18+
TICKETS HERE

ZOMBI
Known to the rock and roll community as Relapse Records’ prog-tronica wildcard, Zombi are the culmination of dense, intricately constructed synths and strings over intense polyrhythms. For just a duo, consisting of Steve Moore on keys and bass and Anthony E. Paterra on drums, they produce an immense sound that summons the furthest extremes of their roots metal, no-wave and electronic scenes. They have hit the stage alongside a diverse array of intelligent music purveyors including Don Caballero, Isis, The Psychic Paramount and Trans Am. Their third album Spirit Animal has been noted as their piece de resistance, of which The Needle Drop remarked, “Nothing is worse than great ideas presented badly, and this album clears that hurdle with ease.”

ARP
Alexis Georgopoulos (American, b. 1974) is a composer and artist based in New York City. As ARP, he makes hypnogogic, minimal music, most often with analog synthesizers and, increasingly, classical stringed instruments. Since 2002, he has performed internationally and has been presented in such spaces as PS1, Deitch Projects, MOMA (SF), 303 Gallery, Luggage Store Gallery, Jack Hanley Gallery, New Langton Arts, Yerba Buena Center and Frieze Art Fair. He has released work on DFA, Smalltown Supersound, Troubleman Unlimited, Rong, Eskimo, Lo, Root Strata, White Columns & Deitch Projects labels. He has remixed Lawrence Wiener, Lindstrom and Shocking Pinks and has been remixed by Hot Chip, Munk, Optimo and Soft Pink Truth. He is also a member of the groups Q&A (DFA), The ALPS (Type/Mexican Summer) and founded the group Tussle, which he departed in 2007. ARP has also been the in-house sound artist for the REPLICA exhibit at the New Museum.

HOURS OF WORSHIP
Trance/dance/soundscape prodigies Hours of Worship trade in clever arrangements of windy keys, samples, and phantom beats. Equal parts earth and space, they translate from headphone to dancefloor seamlessly, with droney synth pads underlying dexterous melodies.
