2011 has arrived and New York is ready to shake off its extended holiday hangover. The new year is about looking ahead, and we’re looking ahead to this Friday January 14th, when Sleepy & Boo + Friends return to Cielo for another night of bumping beats, delivered with a big dose of Big Apple flair. This is the seventh strong installment of the party, and each month, we continue to celebrate good times and great music at New York’s top spot for top-notch electronic music. Once again Cielo is welcoming all with open arms, offering free admission before midnight to anyone who signs up at rsvp@basicnyc.com for our 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‚Ä’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 Electric Zoo Festival (both editions), Ibiza’s legendary Space nightclub, as well as numerous opening sets alongside the world’s best international DJs. In the summer of 2010, they launched their own monthly residency at Cielo, which features them playing the prime-time slot alongside a lineup of friends. They’ve also begun working with New York’s brand-new District 36. Their mission is to spread their own style of cutting edge dance music wherever there is a quality dancefloor with an open-minded crowd.  From deep house to tough techno, Sleepy & Boo’s expansive, genre-crossing sets feature the best labels, sounds and producers creating the most irresistible dance music of the moment.

Joining Sleepy & Boo on this night is Samsara, two brothers who are regular faces on New York’s dancefloors. They are resident DJs at the Sullivan Room’s KGB events, a part of the Global Frequencies crew, and are well-known as DJs who can move effortlessly between sounds and styles in their sets. They’ll be making their Sleepy & Boo + Friends debut at this party. Getting things started is a true veteran of New York’s dancefloor underground – the B-Day Boy Manny Freytes. Manny is a key part of Danny Tenaglia’s Be Yourself parties, and is regularly asked to open for DT at parties around the world, in addition to rocking the dancefloor on his own at many of New York’s finest venues. Manny’s working on some exclusive edits for this night, and will also be making his S&B+Friends debut on the night.
