Made Event presents
Lee Burridge

Made Event presents one of the most consistent and globally acclaimed DJs, Lee Burridge, performing at Cielo NYC 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

About Paxahau

ÉTÉ D’AMOUR
AT SANTOS PARTY HOUSE

NEW YORK, SUMMER 08

Every Thursday from June 26th to September 25th
At Santos Party House
100 Lafayette Street, New York
Doors at 8PM

The one and only Respect party is back in New York with its nightclubbing festival ÉTÉ D’AMOUR, the Paris-meets-Ibiza celebration of the summer!

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.

On top of these 14 Thursdays, ÉTÉ D’AMOUR goes outdoor with three exclusive events including a boat party. Do you wanna cruise?

UNITE & HAVE FUN NEW YORK!

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

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.

Cielo : June 2008 News

Cielo ‘Cinco’ E-card (Preview Album Here)

Summer edges ever closer in the city and Cielo continues to feel the heat with an all star line-up of international guests and local heroes to ring in the new season.

Things kick off on Tuesday 3rd with our Adult Section night hosting the talents of Metro Area’s Darshan Jesrani. Metro Area burst onto the scene almost a decade ago, the brainchild of veteran producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani, born out of the duo’s dichotomous love of both the old moods of R&B, disco and boogie and the more cutting-edge sound of innovative house and techno. Detroit-esque futurism, Chicago’s abstract tracks, and the warmth of New York and New Jersey’s deep house are all part of the MA experience. Meanwhile Citizen Kane is on hand to add their own styling to proceedings on a night that promises to start things off in style.

Another month and another birthday celebration at Dance Here Now - on the 5th it’s Tom Stephan’s turn to blow out the candles. The thirty-something DJ/producer is another Big Apple native that morphed into his now internationally known Superchumbo protagonist guise, creating and playing his trademark mind-enveloping sound collages of darker percussive elements, dark twisted drums and mesmerizing tension building house sets.

On the 6th Playtime presents Big Love featuring Seamus Haji. Haji is the man behind the creative output of the Brighton-based Big Love label, and a pop star in his own right having scored several UK hits including an update of ‘Last Night A DJ Saved My Life’, and most recently working with hip-house don Doug Lazy. A master at weaving disco-inflected grooves that are fluffy enough for pop sensibilities, yet muscular enough to generate some much-needed street appeal, Haji’s sets similarly mix ‘n’ match the new with the old, and the underground with the crossover.

Now into its third month, don’t forget that Freedom on June 8th is the new and exclusive NYC monthly residency for Junior Vasquez.

Deep Space on the 9th finds Francois K on deck duty. Reams and reams could be said of the man who’s been filling dancefloors as a DJ, remixer and producer since the late-70s. But Philly hit-man King Britt neatly sums things up when he says: “He’s the only person to bring remixing full circle from late-70s to present and has revolutionized the way we listen to sound.” He’s joined on the night by a live set from Norway’s Bugge Wesseltoft. Since the early-90s Bugge (conveniently pronounced Boogie!) has made an impressive, truly post-modern transition from Nordic jazz to create a style he refers to as “future jazz” which sits equally well with fans of deep-house and techno, as well as traditional and experimental jazz purists. There’s a $12 cover charge on the night that runs from 10pm-3:30am.

LA-based house head Marques Wyatt’s summer monthly residency, Deep, commences on June 13th with what promises to another self-assured night of deep soulful grooves and uplifting gospel-etched house.

Cielo resident Nicolas Matar is sure to drop tracks from the new Cielo compilation ‘Cinco’ on Thursday 14th at Paradizo. ‘Cinco’ is a celebration of our fifth anniversary, to be released July 8th on Tommy Boy with each disc mixed by residents Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff respectively. UK’s Update Magazine just awarded it 5 Dancin’ Men and referred to it as “a sleek, sexy, soul-soothing collection featuring new music and remixes from the likes of Carl Craig, Ultra Nate, Arnold Jarvis, Swayzak, Kenny Bobien, K-Scope, Charles Webster, Nick Holder, Alix Alvarez, DJ Pippi, Justin Martin and Manoo & Francois A, and a dozens more beside across 2CDs. In a time where we’re increasingly being told to find new ways to let off stream from the riggers of city living, this comes as the ideal tonic.”

Harry “Choo Choo” Romero returns to Cielo on Thursday for 19th Dance Here Now. The former Subliminal man’s sets are legendary as HCCR drops a funk-infused blend of burbling electro-etched basslines, twisted tribalism, and darker progressiveness. The night runs from 10pm-4am and promises set to be a sell out, so to avoid disappointment $20 advance tickets are available from www.danceherenownyc.com.

Another guaranteed sellout on Friday 20th sees Basic New York welcome Jody Wisternoff and guests Sleepy and Boo. Jody made his name in Way Out West, one of the key progressive house acts for over a decade, with a handful of acclaimed albums to their name. After achieving commercial success and critical acclaim as a producer, remixer and DJ, 2006 saw him release his first single under his own name, which quickly topped the Beatport download listing winning new friends in the process. As a DJ he quick to say he “embraces the exciting fresh sounds, shunning the populist/lowest common denominator fodder”. Little wonder his musical passion has always kept him ahead of the game. With support dates alongside Derrick Carter, Mark Farina and Terry Frances, Basic New York resident’s Sleepy and Boo’s credentials speak volumes. The attendance is a no-brainer! (The night runs 11pm-4am, with advance tickets $15 from www.wantickets.com or $20 on the door)

There’s more Deep Space on the 23rd with DJ Spinna headlining the night. Known to his mum as Vince Williams, the Brooklyn resident by his own account is “something of an anomaly in music. A humbling example of what it takes to truly succeed within the framework of multiple fields. A steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (funk, soul and jazz), foundation (hip-hop) and future (electronic/dance music) with no restraints.” Musically he plays all of the above with a verve and passion few can match, let along better. (The night runs 10pm-3:30am with a $12 cover).

Dance Here Now chalks up its first year on Thursday 26th with an anniversary party featuring a trio of legends of New York house - Danny Krivit, Hex Hector, and Tedd Patterson. We could list their credentials that include Grammy Awards, acclaimed and innovative remixes and guaranteed places booked in House Music’s Hall of Fame – but come hear for yourself on the must attend night of the month (10pm-4am, $20 advance tickets from www.danceherenownyc.com). Incidentally Tedd Patterson is the monthly Vibal resident that is on the 7th this month.

Things round off on the 27th with the monthly Made Event featuring a live showcase from Jake Fairley under his Fairmont alter ego or his “soft side” as Canadian techno-meister likes to call it. His songs evoke heartache and lonely nights, making listeners smile or cry depending on how their day’s going. Fairmont’s midtempo live act is deep and danceable, yet friendly and personal and has to be witness first hand to be fully understood. (Advance tickets are $15 from www.made-event.com).
