Made Event presents
LEE BURRIDGE
NEW YEAR’S EVE MASQUERADE
@ Santos Party House

The countdown has begun.  Made Event invites you to say goodbye to a fantastic decade and hello to the new – with the king of eclectic techno and perennial New York favorite, Lee Burridge at Santos Party House this New Year’s Eve on Thursday, December 31st, 2009.  The noughties were a dance music party that never ended and for this momentous masquerade,  Lee will soundtrack our collective farewell to the departing decade. Come in your finest masks or bearded disguises and get ready to ring in the new year with a special midnight toast in the city that never sleeps.

Lee Burridge has a reputation synonymous with musical creativity and amazing parties.  With a career that spans two decades, his sound still cannot truly be defined.  Never the less, it is a sound that has been showcased in almost every major club and festival from Israel to America and Asia to South Africa.    His wonky, bouncy and sublime house and techno sets have provided NYC with some of its most exciting nights in recent memory.  Over the years a special bond has forged between Lee and the Big Apple, so it only seems appropriate that we usher in the New Year by allowing him to take control and mastermind the dancefloor of downtown boite Santos Party House as only he can.  If you witnessed his sets at the annual San Francisco Love parade, Burning Man, Save the Cannibals or his infamous WMC soiree’s The Burridge Barrage, you know to expect the unexpected when he digs through the crates.  But one thing is certain, his blend of funky house, tech house and pulsating techno never fails to move the body and stimulate the mind.  Once the don of the Hong Kong club scene and  Tyrant partner with Craig Richards, Burridge has undoubtedly etched his name amongst dance music’s most elite while maintaining a position as  a crowd favorite the world over.

The Return of
DAVID GUETTA
The ‘One Love’ Album Tour

www.pachanyc.com/guetta/

Pacha NYC presents the return of International DJ/Producer David Guetta for a special Thanksgiving weekend extravaganza on Friday, November 27th, 2009. On the heels of Guetta’s new critically acclaimed album ‘One Love’ (Astralwerks), Guetta continues to conquer America with his most extensive U.S. tour to date and a triumphant return to NYC to recapture the dancefloor magic.

“I can’t wait to tour in America,” said Guetta.  “I played at the Electric Daisy Carnival in LA and Electric Zoo in NYC this summer and the crowd’s energy was amazing.  There is a real dance culture happening in America right now that I find very exciting.”

Guetta has been on a hot streak since early summer, having produced the Black Eyed Peas record-breaking “I Gotta Feeling” along with the global success of ‘One Love’s’ summer anthem “When Love Takes Over” featuring Kelly Rowland and new monster hit “Sexy Bitch” featuring Akon. ‘One Love’ has hit #1 across Europe and entered the U.S. iTunes album chart at #12. Guetta was recently named the European ambassador and spokesperson for DJ Hero, further solidifying his stature as one of the world’s biggest DJ’s. This hotly anticipated game on Activision is out now and features 3 ‘One Love’ tracks – “Sexy Bitch,” “When Love Takes Over” and “On the Dancefloor” – in an exclusive download package format.

Guetta released ‘One Love,’ a non-stop, party-thumping musical hybrid of dance beats and hip-hop/R&B vocals to rave reviews in August 2009 to rave reviews.  People Magazine called ‘One Love’ “a party-rocking album” and the Associated Press agreed, “Guetta’s CD is one big party.” The album features vocals from some of music’s biggest names that includes Akon, apl de ap, Estelle, Kid Cudi, Ne-Yo, Novel, Kelly Rowland, Will.I.Am and Chris Willis.

Guetta continues to reach new heights in America.   “When Love Takes Over”  hit the  #1 spot on the Billboard dance chart, reached #28 on the Top 40 airplay chart and #76 on the Billboard Hot 100.   The second single “Sexy Bitch” is currently #1 of the Billboard dance chart, #35 on the Top 40 radio airplay chart, #23 on the Rhythmic radio airplay chart, #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbing at a rapid pace.  To date, it has sold nearly 400,000 digital downloads and is currently #21 on the singles chart. The Guetta produced Black Eyed Peas single “I Gotta Feeling” is undoubtedly one of the biggest songs of the year, making the Black Eyed Peas the longest running artist to sit at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Guetta shows no signs of slowing down with the announcement of his U.S. ‘One Love’ tour.   Be on the lookout for the video for his 3rd single “One Love” featuring Grammy® award winner Estelle, another song sure to take over dance floors and radio airwaves around the world.
