It’s been an amazing summer of outdoor party adventures for Basic NYC, and with the Fall arriving it’s almost time to bid farewell to one of our favorite venues: Water Taxi Beach Long Island City. Basic NYC has had the privilege of presenting some of our favorite artists at this stunning waterside location, and we’ve got one last bash of the summer this Sunday, September 12th, when we welcome the Chicago-born, west-coast based vocalist/DJ Colette back to New York.

Colette is one of the most unique artists in the house music world. As a performer, she is well known for fusing a live element into her sets, adding her own vocals to the tracks she expertly mixes. A songwriter and vocalist, Colette has released a number of acclaimed singles and albums through her affiliation with OM Records. During her live sets, she draws from her two solo LPs (“Hypnotized” and “Push”), and numerous memorable singles, to keep the dancefloor both moving and captivated with her performance.

For this tour, she’s celebrating the launch of her own brand-new record label Candy Talk. Set to feature her own music, alongside releases and remixes from artists incuyding the Lawnchair Generals, Chuck Love, Joshua Heath and Giano to name a few, Candy Talk is already earning attention from tastemaking house DJs from around the world who are supporting the new label.

Basic NYC has featured a wide variety of artists at their Long Island City summer events, with memorable events from Tom Middleton, Justin Martin and Derrick Carter as some of the Sunday highlights. In addition to Queens, they’ve been holding it down at Water Taxi’s South Street Seaport venue as well. The parties have featured Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo playing alongside the headlining guests and local openers. Joining them for this Sunday’s bash will be Mikey G, the Down Deep duo of Kevin Finn and Mike Prieto, and George Quest and Tiho from the United Freakz posse. With a full day of deep house music on offer, Water Taxi’s award-winning burgers on the grill, plenty of drinks, and an unparalleled Manhattan sunset view, there’s no better place to spend a Sunday than Water Taxi Beach Long Island City.
