Lee Burridge

Made Event presents one of the most consistent and globally acclaimed DJs, Lee Burridge, performing at Cielo on Independence Day – Friday, July 4th, 2008.

In a congested arena of DJ’s vying for recognition and attention, Lee Burridge is an anomaly. In a career that spans over two decades, Lee is the definition of an iron man. Constantly on the move, he has played internationally including landmark festivals such as Love Parade, Exit, Creamfields, Dance Valley, Coachella and others. He is known for his wonky, bouncy, sublime house and techno sets and his Cielo performance is not to be missed.

In 2005 Burridge started what is known as project ‘365′ which provided him with bi-monthly residencies in seven different cities around the world (New York, Ibiza, Buenos Aires, Sydney, Denver & Hong Kong). The purpose; for him to build a solid relationship with his audiences and to expand the impact an international DJ can have in one region. Now, three years after, Lee is teaming up with local producers in each of those cities to work in the studio and release what are surely destined to be dancefloor hits.

Most recently, his contribution to the dance music compilation “Balance Series” (Balance 012) has gained much praise and continues to win over new fans. The mix is Burridge’s first solo compilation since 2003’s Global Underground ‘24:7′, and the three discs present a tidy snapshot of the current state of house and techno. It ranges from deep house to intricate minimal to more pumping techno, culminating in a deep, beautiful, dark, trippy and wobbly soundtrack. Featuring a wide array of cutting edge artists including Martin Buttrich, Dennis Ferrer, Alexi Delano, Gabriel Ananda and more.

Lee Burridge presents ‘Balance 012′ is out now on EQ Recordings.
Balance Issue 12 is now available on Beatport.

Movement 08 Announces Festival Attendance, Recycling Program Success

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

MOVEMENT 08 – DETROIT’S ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL
DANCES TO RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE AND INAUGURAL RECYCLING PROGRAM COLLECTS MORE THAN 3,000 POUNDS OF RECYCLABLES

Paxahau, producers of Movement 08 – Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival, announced that attendance of this year’s three-day festival surpassed 80,000, toppling last year’s attendance and exceeding the set goal of 60,000. Attendance numbers were based on implementing the use of turnstiles and tracking festival VIP’s as well. This year marked the first time the festival tracked attendance using turnstiles.

“We anticipated a surge in attendance, as presales were triple what they were last year three weeks before the festival,” stated Jason Huvaere, festival director, Paxahau Promotions Group. “It’s amazing to now have actual attendance numbers that equate to real economic benefits for the City of Detroit, as well as the festival, and exhibits the venue’s true capacity.”

On top of attendance success, the recycling program instituted by Paxahau collected more than 3,000 pounds of recyclables including plastic, fiber, and cans over the three-day event. Paxahau teamed up with Recycle Detroit, a non-profit organization founded by Detroiter Sarah Kubik; Omar S. George of WasteONE in Clinton Township; and Great Lakes Recycling of Roseville to collect recyclable materials.

The festival had approximately 10 recycling tents, staffed with volunteers that collected cans, bottles, and paper. Great Lakes Recycling, offering single stream capabilities, stored and processed all the recyclable materials, and once separated, the recyclables were transferred to a single location for further processing.

Huvaere added, “We experienced a remarkable and memorable event this year. Reaction from everyone involved, including sponsors, artists, media, and fans was incredibly positive. We definitely set a new benchmark for the festival, and I am excited about planning next year’s event.”

Movement interest, on all levels, was a direct result of Paxahau’s dedication and hard work to continually upgrade the festival experience, from the artist line-up to the drastically enhanced sound systems as well as upgraded staging to protect from inclement weather.

Much of the anticipation surrounding Movement 08 was generated by one of the strongest lineups the festival has had in its history. This year’s roster of performers included Moby, Benny Benassi, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Deadmau5, James Zabiela, Dubfire, and critically acclaimed artists such as The Cool Kids, Peanut Butter Wolf and Cobblestone Jazz.

“We’re all about showcasing renowned, established artists while also giving up-and-coming talent an opportunity to reach a broader audience,” said Huvaere. “Most important, however, the festival further expands Detroit’s reputation for inspiring the electronic music scene – and the foundation for the creative renaissance being led by electronic music artists everywhere who recognize the importance of being a part of this cultural phenomenon.”

Upcoming Paxahau events:
Friday, July 4th at 6:00 p.m. – Cityfest, Pure Detroit Stage, Paxahau Presents King Britt and Ryan Elliott
Labor Day Weekend – Paxahau Ten Year Anniversary

Made Event presents ATB @ Pacha NYC – June 13th, 2008

Made Event presents
ATB
With Randy Boyer

Made Event presents one of the world’s most talented and in-demand DJ/Producers, ATB, for an evening of intense electronic dance music at Pacha NYC, on Friday, June 13th, 2008.

Few have been able to match the commercial and underground success of Andre Tanneberger, aka, ATB. From the start, he has provided us with timeless classics including his first hit in 1999 “9 P.M. (Till I Come)” which catapulted him onto the global scene. Using this success ATB was able to produce five albums in eleven years. Four of which made it into the German Top 10. His resume includes countless remixes and productions and has worked with everyone from Moby to Enigma and even rock star Bryan Adams.

His unique sound is his trademark and what his fans have come to adore. He has the ability to fuse ambient and trance with a wide variety of musical influences that has allowed for his accomplishments. A perfect example is his newest album titled “Trilogy”. The album was a clear-cut illustration of how electronic music can work beautifully with ‘handmade music’ or music made from real instruments, producing two hit singles in ‘Renegade’ and ‘Feelin Alive’.

This year ATB’s goal is to work on his next album and to tour in countries he has never played to. He just completed his first tour of South America and with great success, returned to Europe with shows across the continent. Adorned by many, ATB is a fixture at all major festivals and events, especially Loveparade, one of his personal favorites. When he touches down in New York City for his Pacha event, he will have just finished an appearance at Global Gathering. With the intensity the Gathering provides, New York will be in for a pleasant surprise.

ATB “The DJ 4″ World Tour 2008 2CD mix compilation is available now.

ÉTÉ D’AMOUR takes place every Thursday – from 26th of June to the 25th of September – in the club we all dream of: Santos Party House…with an incredible sound system, straight in the ears of Manhattan.

Doors open in the early evening for live shows & label parties and the dance goes on late with the Respect twist of the artists: legendary American DJs, new French sensations and the fresh sounds of Europe.

ÉTÉ D’AMOUR est arrivé! The Summer of Love has arrived!

After a 7-year absence, the transatlantic Parisian Respect party returns to New York City. A long overdue comeback to the NYC nightlife landscape, Respect unites with Le Jean De and first-class promoters Made Event for a sizzling summer series. They say timing is everything and now with the premiere of Santos Party House, all the pieces are in place for NYC’s own ÉTÉ D’AMOUR.

Back in 1996, the Respect trio Jérôme Viger-Kohler, Fred Agostini & David Blot met in Paris and hosted parties at the Queen with the best DJs from Paris touting the new, great French Tour Sound (Daft Punk, Dimitri, Motorbass). With Daft Punk kicking off the opening party, the Respect soirées lasted three years until it went on to conquer the world. From Paris, the Respect party went global; to Tokyo to Caracas, Kuala Lumpur to Sydney, Oslo to Miami, Cannes to Lisbon, with some famous residencies at Vega Copenhagen, Fuse Brussels and of course their legendary sessions at Twilo NYC, with partner in crime, Neil Aline. In 2002, Respect landed back in Paris on the Seine River for a series of boat parties that lasted four years. The music policy opened itself to all dance enthusiasts from Rock, Techno, Disco, Soul, Funk, Pop, Italo Disco, New Wave, P Funk and GoGo. Why not? Whatever, as long as it is fresh. Now the next chapter is to be written, with 14 weeks ahead to bring Respect back to New York City.

Santos Party House is a two-level, 8,000 sq. foot music venue, centrally located in downtown New York City, straddling Chinatown and Tribeca. Blurring the lines between music and art culture, the venue is designed to function as a concert hall, dance club, and lounge. The long-awaited space has been built from the ground up to make life as fun as possible and is now setting out to reclaim downtown’s nightlife.

Made Event presents Fairmont (Live) + Three @ Cielo – June 27th

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

For Immediate Release

Fairmont

Friday, June 27th 2008
Made Event presents
Fairmont (Live)
+ Three

Made Event presents one of the leading techno upstarts breaking the mold at the eclectic Border Community label, Canadian artist Fairmont performing live at Cielo with Three on Friday, June 27th, 2008.

Jake Fairley’s Fairmont album Coloured In Memory on James Holden’s influential Border Community imprint is a stunning showcase of the true depth and variety of his talents. The album unites Fairley’s trademark driving analogue machine-funk with woozy, warm interludes, intimate vocals and drugged-out highs, fused with a touch of the experimental. From the very beginning, Jake’s music has showed a focus on stretching minimal techno into pop. Making his name as a techno maverick, Fairley has produced almost 30 records in total, 100+ songs and 4 LPs. Spending much of his youth watching bands play live has pushed Jake to try and perform his music rather than merely present it. The once elusive Fairmont softer side had been transformed into a serious club concern, and the everlush melodies are now imbued with a new dancefloor sensibility with his live reputation growing as a sweaty, raw performer imbued with tripped out liquid melodies.

From his adopted home base of NYC, Three has been tirelessly holding the flag for underground electronic music in the US since his rise out of the sunny state of Florida in the early 90’s. Armed with a sound that borrows equally from vintage acid-house, techno and underground electronica, his uncompromising Hallucination Limited imprint is held in the highest regard and the catalog will be available digitally for the first time on Beatport. Aside from his natural ability on the decks, Three sets himself apart from the rest of the pack by presenting eclectic sounds with an open-minded attitude towards everything he does. From DJ sets to musical output, Three is a “DJ’s DJ” who has always leaned toward the cutting edge without losing touch with the roots of house and techno.

Fairmont ‘Coloured In Memory’ is out now on Border Community.
Hallucination Limited catalog is now available on Beatport.
