As Paul van Dyk’s New Year’s Eve affair was winding down at the Roseland (before his charter flight to Montréal), Lee Burridge was just getting Dance.Here.Too’s NYE festivities bumpin’ at Santo’s Party House. The DJ star relied on both CDJs and vinyl for his pulsating set that shook downtown ‘til the morning light. He gave not only what the crowd wanted, but what we needed, and thus, garnered an awesome reaction.
Well folks, Burridge is back at DHT, this Saturday March 6, 2010. Also jetting into Gotham to join him, (following a gig at Chicago ’s Sound Bar) is Brit favorite, Danny Howells. It’s destined to be a night you won’t want to miss. Both artists spin up original and remixed beats that bridge nearly every desirable type of electronic dance music.
A Dorset, UK native, Burridge is known for his tremendous efforts on Balance: 012, collaborations under Global Underground, and forming Tyrant Sound System with DJs Sasha and Craig Richards in late 1998. He established himself as one of Hong Kong’s most prolific DJ/producers, catapulting into the limelight with sets at Cream, Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher, Love Parade, Burning Man, and of course Miami’s WMC. Burridge has been in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 steadily since 1999. His annual, Made Event-hosted Halloween bash has firmly put him at the forefront of DJs in NYC. Expect plenty of acid house, minimal techno, and dance-fueled break beat. Let’s hope for some decent La Roux and Chromeo remixes thrown in for good measure!
Howells, who hit up DHT in mid December, will be sure to deliver a more progressive electronic sound and hopefully explore into deep trance and tribal grooves, which he is notorious for. Also a Global Underground, Ministry and Cream–artist, the Englishman has held key posts at Twilo, NYC and Heaven, London . His Global Underground 027: Miami torched the Billboard Top Electronic Albums, peaking at #14. Our predictions are for an old New York City vibe with his set. One thing is for sure, Howells will be sporting his latest vintage tee or hipster wares from the booth. See you there!
Doors open at 10: Santos Party House, 96 Lafayette Street , New York , NY .
The more we hit this party up, the more we like it!
