One of the dates on the Basic NYC calendar we always look forward to is a visit from the UK’s incredibly talented JODY WISTERNOFF, the co-founder of the seminal duo Way Out West and one of our favorite producers and DJs. This Saturday, September 10th, we’re very excited to welcome Jody back to New York for another night of forward-thinking, dancefloor-motivating music, and we’re excited to be doing it once again at (le) Poisson Rouge –the site of Jody’s last mesmerizing Basic NYC appearance. It’s the perfect mix of performer and venue for the long-overdue return of this crowd favorite and musical maestro.
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.
(le) Poisson Rouge features one of the most diverse musical programs in New York, presenting everything from avant garde classical to dance music. With a top-notch sound and lighting system, the room is one of New York’s finest, and we have a number of exciting events coming up throughout September and October. Opening the night for Jody will be our guests Thomas Pategas and reyNiko, who have both played at past Basic NYC events and will certainly get the night started off in style. This is the sixth 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.
