2011 has been an amazing year of music in NYC, and we think it deserves more than just one night where we say farewell. On Friday, December 30th, we’re kicking off the New Year’s celebrations with the much-anticipated and long-overdue Sullivan Room of JODY WISTERNOFF, the co-founder of the seminal duo Way Out West and one of our favorite producers and DJs. This is the first time Jody has played Sully in ages, and follows up his last spellbinding visit to NYC back in September. Get ready for an intimate night of cutting edge, genre-crossing music with Jody at the helm as we reflect on a great year that was and the possibilities of what’s ahead.
Year after year, Jody continues to evolve and expand his profile as a DJ, producer and remixer. He is one of the few DJs who is able to incorporate multiple genres into his sets, drawing from seemingly different strands of progressive house, new disco and deep house to create something unique. His setlists for his monthly online radio shows “Way Out There” and “Intensified” are pored over by his legions of die-hard fans, fellow DJs and tastemakers alike. Seeing him live on the decks, and witnessing his bond with the crowd, is something very special indeed.
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. 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. His own remixes and original productions have established him as a hugely respected solo artist and in-demand DJ. is 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 it’s always one of the highlights of our year.
To help celebrate the end of the year, and Jody’s return to Sully, we are giving away table service at the Sullivan Room to a lucky group. To enter, email info@basicnyc.com and name your favorite Way Out West track.
Jody has played twice for Basic NYC in 2011, both times at (le) Poisson Rouge, but this is his first Sullivan Room appearance in quite some time. Opening the night for Jody will be our guests Nickmatic and Derek Rusinak, who have both played at past Basic NYC events and will certainly get the night started off in style. We’ve had a great 2011, but it’s time to begin the farewell. This is the perfect way to get the New Year’s celebrations started off in style.
