It’s been well over a year since the Way Out West co-founder Jody Wisternoff rocked New York. But fans of his signature deep and driving dancefloor sound won’t have to wait any longer. This Saturday, February 19th, Basic NYC is bringing Jody back to the Big Apple, and this time we’re welcoming him to a new venue for the party: the gorgeous Le Poisson Rouge. It’ll be the perfect mix of performer and space for the long-overdue return of this crowd favorite and musical maestro.

Jody’s musical trajectory has continued to climb since his last New York appearance. In the Fall of 2009, Way Out West released “We Love Machine”, the fourth studio album from the 16-year partnership of Jody and his WoW partner Nick Warren. The acclaimed album was hailed by a range of tastemaking DJs, and was followed up by a compilation of remixed tracks from the album. The past year has seen multiple Way Out West live and DJ sets, with Jody’s itinerary taking him from one corner of the globe to another week in and week out.

In recent years, Jody Wisternoff has expanded his profile far beyond just his work with Way Out West. Beginning with the tremendous success of his solo single “Starstrings”, Jody has been earning kudos for his unique production sound and style. Mixing deep house emotions with driving, progressive house energy, Jody’s own remixes and original productions have established him as a hugely respected solo artist and in-demand DJ. Behind the decks, his skills are second to none. Mixing deep, pulsating beats with heavy touches of melody, vocals, and monster basslines, Jody nimbly crosses genres and styles throughout his sets. His music is dancefloor-driven and heavy on the positive vibe and energy that sends a crowd into overdrive. He’s absolutely brought down the house at his prior Basic NYC appearances, and we’re sure this night will be no exception.

Located just around the corner from the Sullivan Room, Le Poisson Rouge is an ideal venue to host this event. The club features one of the most diverse musical programs, presenting everything from avant garde classical to dance music, with two shows regularly scheduled each night. With a top-notch sound and lighting system, the room is one of New York’s finest. This is Basic NYC’s first event at LPR. Opening the night for Jody will be our guests Max Mayfield and DJ Beyrouth, who have both played at past Basic NYC events and will certainly get the night started off in style. This is the fifth time that Sleepy & Boo have brought Jody Wisternoff to New York and we’re excited to continue our partnership with one of dance music’s most dynamic figures.
