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. The ongoing success of the series is a testament to the distinctive style of programming at Cielo, which celebrates top quality music above all else.

Cielo is pleased to announce that their 5th Anniversary will be marked by the 5th release in the highly-acclaimed Cielo compilation series. The new compilation Cinco mixed and compiled by residents Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff will be released by Tommy Boy on June 17th. Later this month, Cielo will be well-represented at the 6th annual Club World Awards in Miami on March 26th at Set during Winter Music Conference, with nominations for Best Club (past winner 2005 & 2006), Best Party - Dance.Here.Now. and Best Resident DJ- Louie Vega at Roots.

This month, Cielo hosts the crème of New York and international DJ talent with another fine selection of some of the world’s leading house exponents.

Francois K kicks off a month of seriously seductive Monday nights as “Deep Space” lives up to its name with a truly enveloping journey of tripped out house, dubby beats and Francois’ unique blend of electronica. If you miss one Monday, don’t worry, seven days later it all happens again… and then again.

“Roots” finds Louie Vega & Kevin Hedge on deck duty at their weekly Wednesday soiree, where they’ll no doubt be road testing some past, present and future Miami classics ahead of the Winter Music Conference.

Cielo resident Willie Graff graces the decks every Friday for his “Play Time” night playing the same style of deep and tech-etched house that earned him the title of Pacha Ibiza’s youngest ever resident DJ. He’s made their Funky Room his own over the past few summers and Cielo’s dancefloor his domain the remainder of the year.

Berlin native and the mastermind behind Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug, headlines the Made Event on Thursday 20th. Fresh from sell-out dates in Australia and Japan, the night will feature his seminal tech-house infused beats, seductive funk grooves and edifyingly rich sonic soundscapes.

To mark the release of Cielo’s first Japanese CD, on Friday 21st we’re flying in Tokyo’s Masa - widely regarded as one of the most exciting house DJs in Japan. Masa’s no stranger to the US scene having previously worked with Blaze, Joi Cardwell, Ron Carroll, and Kenny Bobien, while as a member of Studio Apartment their acclaimed single ‘Flight’ won recognition far and wide with supporters including Gilles Peterson and Danny Krivit, and our own Francois K and Louie Vega.

London, Ibiza, New York and Sydney - Nicolas Matar has been there, seen that, done that. A DJ that refuses to be pigeonholed the Cielo resident’s monthly “Paradizo” night sees him joined by Willie Graff on the 22nd for a truly cosmopolitan affair named after our CD compilation that the guys also mixed.

Kristian Beyer from celebrated Sonar Kollectiv act Ame graces us on the 27th with a slick DJ set. The cult collective represents all that is cool, credible and sophisticated in the modern world of broken-beat and deep jazzy-house and the night promises to be another of the month’s do-not-miss events.

Finally, Friday 28th sees Nickodemus & Mariano, alongside talented percussionist Nappy G, join us for “Turntables on the Hudson”. Now into their tenth year of throwing parties the guys return for their monthly residency of sultry jazz rhythms, Eastern melodies and Afrocentric grooves.

Steve’s signature acid house sound has helped bring Swedish producers to the forefront of dance music; check him out on Thursday, February 7th.

Kevin Hedge and Louie Vega’s uplifting dance party Roots is still going strong every Wednesday at Cielo. Of the renowned groups Blaze and Masters At Work respectively, these two men are living legends in clubland. Check them out each and every Wednesday.

Haven’t had enough yet? Return to Cielo on February 8th for the quarterly installment of LA’s Deep featuring Marques Wyatt. Wyatt is credited with bringing the deep, soulful sounds of New York house to Los Angeles in the mid-80’s. Check him out this weekend as he brings those beats back home to the right coast.

Chris Ryan and Fusion Group present the debut of their new party, Arctic Fusion, promising to revolutionize NYC nightlife. Brooklyn ’s own Larry Tee, with support from James Anderson, provide the soundtrack to an extravaganza complete with performers and musicians at every event.

King Britt returns for a special all-night Deep Space set at the Cielo party of the same name on February 11th. This Monday night weekly promises adventures into future dub, spacey vibes and abstract grooves. The Philadelphia born DJ co-founded Ovum Records with Josh Wink but is now focusing on playing his smooth blend of organic soul to house lovers around the world. Deep Space will feature resident DJ Francois K on the 4th, 18th, and 25th, with a special opening set by T. Tauri the last Monday of the month.

Area Events brings Dutch DJ and producer Fedde le Grand to the decks at Cielo on February 21st. Best known for his ubiquitous single Put Your Hands Up 4 Detroit, Fedde will be spinning his unique blend of house and electro for a rare NYC appearance.

Carl Craig starts off a new residency at Demon Day’s Valentine’s Day Bash. One of techno music’s most celebrated auteurs is finally getting the mainstream recognition he deserves. With a Grammy nod for his Junior Boys remix, a performance of his composition “Technology” at Carnegie Hall last month, and a career retrospective coming out on !K7 in February, Craig seems set to take over the world in 2008. Share this special day with us, Thursday February 14th.

Saturday February 16th is Paradizo, one of Cielo’s signature party nights. Special guest DJ Olivier from Amnesia, Ibiza , joins Cielo and summertime Pacha Ibiza resident Willie Graff for a much-needed dose of the magical island during this NYC winter. No work Monday? Sunday night the 17th legendary DJ Junior Vasquez hits the decks for his monthly residency.

Finally, celebrate the extra day this month on Thursday February 28th (into the 29th) with Mistress Barbara and the highly anticipated NYC debut of Cobblestone Jazz (live). Mistress Barbara, the first lady of Techno needs no introduction; she has been a fixture since bursting onto the scene in the late 90’s.

Pacha NYC presents

X-PRESS 2
3 DJs - 6 Turntables - Live!

Makeshift Feelgood CD Release Party

(Tommy Boy)

PRESS RSVP: press@pachanyc.com

Pacha NYC presents X-PRESS 2 Live on Saturday, December 7th. The three DJs are back in the US to celebrate the release of their new album MAKESHIFT FEELGOOD out now on Tommy Boy Records.

For your foot-tapping pleasure and mind-expanding enjoyment, we present the men of X-Press 2: Rocky, Diesel and Ashley Beedle. The UK club-rockers are back with Makeshift Feelgood, the follow-up to the 100,000 selling Muzikizum. Their latest album features lead vocals by Tim DeLaughter (The Polyphonic Spree), Kurt Wagner (Lambchop), Anthony Roman (Radio 4), Rob Harvey (The Music), Kissing The Pink and Bernard Fowler (NYC Peech Boys / Rolling Stones).

The last time they were stateside, their humongous fanbase propelled their vinyl-only 12-inches (i.e.: “London X-Press,” “Muzik X-Press,” “The Sound”) - sold sans barcodes- thumping up the charts. But they’ve been away for a while, sweating in the DJ trenches, frequenting international clubs aplenty, trapped in the studio with Sixties sunshine-pop LPs, wrangling vocal stars from far and wide. But four years after they-and The Talking Heads’ David Byrne-swaggered to #2 on the UK pop charts) in the charts with “Lazy,” then waltzed home with an Ivor Novello Award, the X-Press 2 triumvirate is back!

X-PRESS 2 - MAKESHIFT FEELGOOD is out now on Tommy Boy Records.
