TEDD PATTERSON HITS WATER TAXI BEACH
Basic NYC Brings the House Hero to South Street Seaport on Sunday July 25th
This Sunday, July 25th, Basic NYC is excited to bring one of New York’s most beloved and respected DJs Tedd Patterson down to the Water Taxi Beach South Street Seaport for their next Sunday daytime bash. Tedd is a “DJs DJ”, an artist who is strictly about playing and producing good music, and we’re excited to feature him at a Basic NYC event for the very first time. The Sunday party starts at 2:30pm and runs late into the night, offering revelers the ideal location to soak in the sun, enjoy some great food and drinks, and get down to some great beats from Tedd himself.
Tedd has had a long career as both a DJ and an music industry veteran, contributing to dance culture in all of its many facets. From A&R stints at seminal labels like Emotive and Liquid Groove, to guest spots at top international venues, to his long-running Vibal monthly at Cielo, Tedd has earned himself the respect and admiration of both his peers and his legions of dedicated dancefloor fans. Open minded in his approach behind the decks, Tedd likes taking risks and mixing and matching different sounds and styles. “I like the soul that exists in a variety of musical forms,” he says. “I’m not afraid to take a chance and that has become my signature, and that works for me.”
From the studio, Tedd’s music has been featured on a huge range of cutting edge imprints and labels. With releases on Radio Slave’s renowned Rekids, the German tech heavyweight Conaisseur, Chus & Ceballos’ Stereo Productions and Francois K’s Wave Music to name just a few, Tedd’s music crosses multiple genres, styles and sounds, loaded with his trademarked Big Apple attitude and flavor. His tracks can’t simply be classified under one easy description – rather he makes dancefloor music that’s heavy on the groove, and never relies on easy clichés. Right now, he’s creating a stir with his brand-new remixes of Charles Webster’s classic “Soothe” – which is listed at #5 on the top singles chart at Traxsource.com right now (and it still hasn’t seen a full release yet.)
Basic NYC’s has hosted a number of diverse Water Taxi Beach parties this summer, utilizing both the South Street Seaport and Long Island City venues for their showcases. So far, they’ve hosted OM Records’ deep house maestro Fred Everything, the SAW Recordings duo of Hector Romero and Satoshi Tomiie, dirtybird’s Justin Martin, and the UK’s “Jedi” Tom Middleton to name a few. Joining Tedd on the decks for this installment will be the Stimulus Response DJs Lola and Sean Cormac; Jack Productions’ own Todd Fatjo; and the Love Sound Project DJs featuring Chris Love, DBOW and more, who have been holding it down at SOUP on Friday nights. Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo will be on hand as well.
