I'm NOT sorry DAVE for sweet4wks bashing you, although you were the opener and I understand not trying to steal the show, but whatever, I'd rather have the crowd remember my set, and that I killed it, instead of just being another opening act to fill time before a REAL DJ gets on. Good luck opening for guys that spin tracks, not guys that just are fluff.
Signing off - BUTTONS
how do you you think dj's like steve porter, desyn masiello, chris fortier, jonethan ojeda from spundae and countless others broke into the scene? they built reputations for being excellent openers who truly understood that you don't go to KILL it - you play tracks you love and that build a tension in the crowd so when the opener comes on it can erupt.
openers aren't supposed to kill it, they are supposed to set the table -- it's dj's that haven't played out much who when they get a chance to finally play go to KILL it because god only knows when the next time they'll get to play out.
but we'll agree to disagree on this...

2. opening dj, kinda liked him, little house and a dash of trance at times, wasnt as bad as you are saying.
thank you - i realize im not going to do it for everyone - especially when it's more of a trance dj i'm opening up for and im more a house/electro dj but of course i have range and tried to adapt.
and...to add, i was the opener...openers aren't supposed to steal the headliners thunder - so i tried to keep it relatively level with the occasional peek - that's my philosophy on opening - build some tension and let the headliner be the star.

Yes, aside from the people for the hiphop. the red room was closed also if i recall, so 40 people on the main floor and i came with 10 of them and ran into another 6 or so from parties. the music was so so so good.

PERCEPTIONS
Hosted by Dres and David Josephs
When: Every Second and Fourth Monday of the Month starting at 3pm EST.
Where: www.protonradio.com
As we continue forward this fall season we are pleased to announce a surprise mix done by none other than Scarlett Etienne (www.scarlettetienne.com). When Scarlett isn't rocking clubs like Pacha, Turnmills and Space she is playing everywhere in the world from China to Italy to Spain. Gaining notoriety from just about everyone and their mother, Scarlett hands over a stormer of a mix to Perceptions - electro, funk and just plain filth.
Here's more about Scarlett:
At only 23 years of age, Scarlett has acquired a unique and cultured appreciation of dance music. She continues to make her impact on the underground house scene at a global scale. Whilst not on the road, Scarlett can be found working diligently in the studio; finding expression through innovative new sounds. The fruit of Scarlett's production abilities can be seen in her recent collaboration with Paul Davis of the renowned 'Circulation' outfit. Scarlett's passion and musical skills (note: she is a classically trained musician!) have brought her to travel internationally as a DJ, and most importantly the opportunity to share her unique style with the world.
The journey began in 2002 when she landed her first residency at New York City nightlife institution 'Sound Factory', followed by further residencies in the downtown underground-chic venue Sullivan Room, and a bi-coastal, bi-monthly gig at San Francisco's 'Mixed Elements' party. Her burgeoning talent and fast growing reputation soon ensured a monthly residency at the renowned Italian nightclub 'Alter-Ego'. Fast forward to 2003 and Scarlett was embarking on a Mediterranean tour where she had the honor of making her Ibiza debut at the legendary superclub 'Amnesia'.
The past twelve months have seen Scarlett begin to develop her international profile to dizzying new heights, delighting clubbers and gaining new advocates wherever she has had the pleasure to touch down. Scarlett has played impressive debutant sets at seminal clubnights such as John Digweed's 'Bedrock', 'Godskitchen', & 'Avalon' in NYC, with a packed schedule planned for summer and a loaded record box…..
Scarlett remains the one to watch in 2005!
In the coming weeks we will continue forward with our DC-10 series, with mixes from Clive Henry, Cirillo and Lee Burridge. The future remains bright after our series ends, with guests mixes already confirmed from 16 bit lolitas, Doc Martin, Jason Hodges and Astro&Glyde.
Next show: Clive Henry (Peace Division)

It's that time again, another Monday chop full of good music to make happy ears.
This Monday we have excellent entries from upcoming Rise-Boston ressie Mike Swells, Tony Montoya's love child - Dres and ending with a live mix by myself and Ian Ressler aka AlterImage (an excellent up and coming dj in NYC -be on the lookout for this kid)
Take off: 3pm EST
Length of flight: 3hrs - landing at 6pm EST
Departure: www.protonradio.com
enjoy your flight - remember to return your seats to the upright position when preparing for landing.
Here's a quick bio from upcomer Mike Swells:
Below the surface of the dance music industry, a saturation of otherwise unknown DJs are constantly vying for recognition. The competition is undeniable, and often creates schisms amongst the very people who should be working together to keep the music moving forward. Fully aware of this fact, Mike Swells emerged on the Boston scene as a face in the crowd supporting house music nights throughout the city. After so many late nights in clubs, lounges, and other mischievous after-hours gatherings, Swells eventually became a familiar fixture of the Beantown crew. Once he was sure that his commitment to his hometown's EDM scene, as well as the DJs behind it, could not be questioned, he started asking his friends for deck time. Before long, Swells was regularly serving up 5 hour sets downstairs at Rise, Boston's only after-hours nightclub. Playing extended sessions to a musically discerning crowd has allowed him to develop a sound that encompasses many subgenres of proper dance music over the course of a night; sometimes spacey, often funky, always flowing deftly onward. He is excited to bring for the first time his own unique and positive element to Perceptions on Proton Radio.

lol..
hey all - so after a brief departure i am back (or at least working on it) and besides this little thing with porter & cusick tommorow (cough, extra promotion!) i wanted to let you all know that after some hard work my website is finally up!!
It is in the first stages of completion right now - expect to see guest mixes very shortly from Low End Specialists Live at Godskitchen NYC - recorded during the DJ Vibe gig about two months ago. This mix is defintely ass shaking material.
Also, expect mixes from many of my friends and the such including Porter, Desyn Masiello, etc etc. Will be great to get tons of new music to you all.
I also aim to provide links to fellow dj's and locals here in the city to help promote them too; all in all, a site to provide great promotion and great music.
enjoy!

Ooh I can't wait for this party!! The countdown, then 6 hours of Paul van Dyk!!
But so the dress code is not too strict, then are sneakers allowed cause I know I'll be there for at least 7-8 hours if not more and dancing in dress shoes is a pain. I'm from DC so the only club I've been to in NY is Roxy but they didnt really have a dress code. And I would love to capture the experience of the night with my digital camera, are those allowed in the club?
digi's will be rocking tommorow night, so those are cool...
sneakers? id air on the side of caution and try to wear something nicer with them..usually when godskitchen hosts parties there is an attempt to take care of peeps who are there to get down, not just sit or stand around..so if i were you id wear something a bit nicer and try and wear some nicer kicks..not the beaters if you got em (i know i do)

forlorn--
i wouldn't expect there to be a problem, most likely you will have to go through a more extensive check at the front though..
Perceptions on Proton Radio 9.25 - Demi, Omid & Desyn

PERCEPTIONS
Hosted by Dres and David Josephs
Every Second and Fourth Monday of the Month starting at 3pm EST.
Proton Radio
WOW!! We wanted to thank all of you who tuned in this past Monday for Guy Gerber's guest mix - we had nearly 1000 listeners which Proton hasn't seen in some time and look to smash that number two fold with our next show. Again, what a great way to get your sounds out to a global audience, so we encourage locals to continue sending us their mixes for future consideration.
What can we say about our upcoming show that wouldn't make us sound like kids in a candy store -- we are extremely pleased to have guests Omid, Demi and Desyn Masiello for our next show!! These three dynamo's have done so much in the industry - starting labels such as Alternate Route & Sexonwax -- cd compilations heralded across the globe - you name it, these guys have done it.
Yes we are a bit early announcing this show but make sure to mark it down on your calendars - you won't want to miss it.
More about Omid, Demi and Desyn:
Omid:
"I love music... how it can make our emotions flow; how it can change the way we think; the way we love; the way we express ourselves." Omid16B
Omid16B lives for music. A true talent on the underground scene, cutting edge dance music is like oxygen for Omid Nourizadeh. A DJ, producer and label owner of Alola, Disclosure and Sexonwax Records, he's spreading his passion worldwide - from the UK to the USA, from Europe to Asia and Australia. More: Omid16B.com
Demi:
There was never a grand plan to ever make a career out of being a DJ. I was from a very young age musically inclined and thank my Mum for bashing on at me to play as many instruments as possible. I started playing the piano from the age of 7, learning to play more famous compositions before taking theory and practical, reaching Grade 5 level.
By the time I went to University though, my desire to continue playing the piano diminished rapidly and this is one thing I do regret more than anything else and now am determined to put amends to that. In terms of electronic music, the rave scene and those early years, well everyone has their own story and mine really began in the summer of 1997 – my summer of love and yes on that island called Ibiza. More: /// DJ Demi / Biography
Desyn Masiello:
Desyn is one of the very few DJ’s in recent years that has stood out and caught the ear of some of the worlds largest DJs (with Deep Dish, Sander K and Danny Howells nominating him as their 'future DJ Hero' in DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll). With many established DJs and newcomer DJs leaning towards a particular style and musical range, many are pigeon holed into a 'genre' of music. Desyn, however, has managed to establish his own sound that crosses boundaries and proves difficult to categorize. More: :: DESYN MASIELLO ::
