In a summer full of great parties and music, Basic NYC’s Sleepy & Boo + friends at Cielo in July was one of the season’s standouts. With a packed dancefloor going off all night, Sleepy & Boo dropped a monster of a primetime set that sent many hands up in the air. And as August begins to wind down, we’re excited to close out the summer with another installment of the party at Cielo. This Friday, August 20th, the Basic NYC residents will be headlining the decks for the return of Sleepy & Boo + friends. Joining them in the DJ booth will be Basic NYC regulars Prawns & Bajaj, with newcomer Mike Murphy celebrating his birthday with his Cielo debut. Once again, Cielo is offering free entry for those who RSVP to Basic NYC’s guest list.

For over six years, Sleepy & Boo have been an integral part of New York’s electronic music and nightlife culture. They are the co-founders of Basic NYC, which has served as their platform for presenting international guest DJs in New York, with a long-running Saturday night residency at the Sullivan Room. The event was named New York’s “Best Dance Party” by New York magazine in 2009, and has featured a breathtaking range of DJs, covering the full spectrum of house and techno. As the residents, Sleepy & Boo are well known for setting the musical mood with their opening and closing sets, complimenting the headliners and adding their own musical twist to the night.

But Sleepy & Boo’s range as DJs extends far beyond their own residency. They are regularly asked to DJ at many of New York’s top nightclubs and electronic music events, and work closely with all the city’s leading production groups. They’ve dropped mesmerizing sets at events as diverse as the inaugural Electric Zoo Festival, the sold-out Terminal 5 deadmau5 appearance in November, Steve Lawler’s Water Taxi Beach debut, and will be bringing their sound to Ibiza’s legendary Space terrace on August 27th. From deep house to tough techno, Sleepy & Boo’s expansive, genre-crossing sets feature the best labels, sounds and producers creating the cutting-edge dance music of the moment.

This event features free entry before midnight on Sleepy & Boo’s guest list, and a special champagne toast at 12am for all of the birthday celebrants. It’s been an unforgettable summer, and with a busy Fall schedule coming soon, this is the perfect way to transition to what’s next. It’s a night of the Big Apple’s homegrown DJ talent, playing music at one of New York’s top nightclubs and sound systems. We’ll see you on the dancefloor.
