Basic NYC’s resident DJs Sleepy & Boo have played plenty of memorable sets at Cielo over the last few years, but their next night at the acclaimed nightspot should certainly be a special one. On Friday, July 16th, Cielo is hosting the duo for their first-ever headlining appearance at the venue, as Sleepy & Boo bring their arsenal of cutting-edge sounds to the club’s intimate dancefloor. This will be a night that recognizes New York’s own local talent, and playing the opening sets will be regular Basic NYC guests Mikey G, and Prawns and Bajaj, all making their Cielo debut. And to add the merriment, we’ll be celebrating Sleepy’s birthday on Friday – and offering free entry before 12 – making this party a truly festive night of music.

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’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 inaugural Electric Zoo Festival, the sold-out Terminal 5 deadmau5 appearance in November, Steve Lawler’s Water Taxi Beach debut, and will be bringing their sound to Ibiza’s legendary Space terrace this August. From deep house to tough techno, Sleepy & Boo’s expansive, genre-crossing sets feature the best labels, sounds and producers creating the cutting-edge dance music of the moment.

This event features free entry before midnight (with an email to rsvp@basicnyc.com) on our Sleepy & Boo guest list, and a special champagne toast at 12am. We’re dedicating this night to all of our friends and supporters who have been a part of our events and nights so far, and we’re looking forward to making many more memories to come. See you on the dancefloor.
