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.

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).

Cielo ‘Cinco’ Album Release Party

‘Cinco’ Mixed By Nicolas Matar & Willie Graff (Tommy Boy)

Cielo celebrates the release of its 5 year compilation album CINCO, with an album release party on Saturday, May 31st with resident DJs Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff. The release party is in advance of the album’s release date on Tommy Boy on July 8th and Graff’s annual pilgrimage to Ibiza for his summer residency.

CINCO is an eclectic amalgam of styles incorporating deep house, techno embellishments, and soulful vibes. The album begins in classic style with Carl Craig’s C2 remix of pianist Francesco Tristano’s “The Melody” and features a selection of tracks with a Spanish homegrown flair from longtime Ibiza cohort DJ Pippi and Willie Graff, as well as legendary Spaniards Kiko Navarro and Cesar De Melero. Also included are the latest tracks from Tommy Boy artists Ultra Naté and Louie Vega, three stunning remixes from Charles Webster, and contributions from dub-techno duo Swayzak, Billboard #1 Hot Dance Club Play artist Joi Cardell, NYC Small Wonder DJ/producer Alix Alvarez, owner of Toronto’s acclaimed DNH Records Nick Holder for NRK, keyboardist Eric Kupper as K-Scope, Osunlade as Nomumbah, and deep soulful house artist Halo Varga amongst the talented collection.

The duo of Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff artfully combine their common musical bearings and experienced DJ styles across the Cielo compilation series. Matar has developed his eclectic sound by playing in the most celebrated nightclubs in the world over the past fifteen years. His skillful DJ’ing combines elements of jazz, deep house, techno and African and Latin influences. Matar eventually opened Cielo in 2003 in order to create a spiritual and musical counterpart to the best of clubbing he had witnessed globally. He brought in resident DJ, Willie Graff, who is known for spinning an array of house music genres while incorporating a deep, moody and minimal style. Graff performs at the hottest clubs around the globe and is also the world renowned Pacha Ibiza’s resident DJ during the summer season.

For those who’ve never ventured inside the retro-futuristic club and housed it up on the sunken dance-floor - mind and body lifted by its crisp, pure, heavenly sound - the Cielo compilation series transports you to Cielo for the perfect night of clubbing. For the faithful, it will expand horizons. Widely recognized as the ‘Best Club’ in North America by The Club World Awards (winner in 2008, 2006 & 2005) and top-ranked annually in DJ Mag’s Top Clubs of the World, Cielo and the unprecedented success of the compilation series, has amassed a worldwide audience and appeals to the more mature and seasoned dance music aficionados.
