It’s been a tough winter of snow and slush here in NYC. But March is here, and that means Springtime is just around the corner. We’re excited for the thaw to begin, and we’re starting to heat things up this Friday March 11th at Cielo. It’s the second Friday of the month, and that’s the night when Sleepy & Boo + Friends hit the decks for a fiesta of full-on Big Apple house and techno grooves. It’s the 9th installment of this party, and as always, Cielo is adding to the festivities by offering free entry before midnight – and special bottle and table offers – to anyone who signs up at rsvp@basicnyc.com for our guest list. We’ve also got a free champagne toast at midnight for our birthday friends.
For close to seven 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 Electric Zoo Festival (both editions), Ibiza’s legendary Space terrace, as well as numerous opening sets alongside the world’s best international DJs. They launched Sleepy & Boo + Friends in the summer of 2010 at Cielo, and the party features them playing the prime-time slot alongside a lineup of friends. They’ve also kicked off a new partnership with New York’s amazing new dance venue District 36, which has already featured some of Basic NYC’s top DJs rocking that monster room. Their mission is to spread their own style of cutting edge dance music wherever there is a quality dancefloor with an open-minded crowd.
Joining Sleepy & Boo on this night will be their good friends from the Spinnin’ House crew – Mike Murphy and Chris Cornacchia. This will be their third and first appearance at Cielo for the party respectively, so make sure to come early to catch all the music. Sleepy & Boo are loaded up with great new music – March is, after all, the annual Winter Music Conference – so get ready for a night of fresh new tunes that’ll set the Cielo dancefloor off.
