hmmmmmmmmm road trip again phil?

btw never heard of this dj before

Neil runs Chez Recordings, from NYC. He's French, but has been living in NYC for years now. He's got great taste in music, both DJing and on his label. He also used to run a well known radio show at NYU back in the day. Super nice guy too! I guarantee you'll love him! :)

To reinforce what Justin said:

Neil Aline

It's not easy for an outsider to break into the small circle of party people who make up New York City's dance-music elite, but the 28-year-old deep-house doyen Neil Aline has not only entered that celebrated coterie, he's become one of its main men. Soon after the Tahiti-born, Paris-bred Aline became a student at NYU in '97, he filled a gaping hole in the city's airwaves by starting up the BPM show on the university's radio station. BPM quickly became a favorite stop for DJs many of the city's-and the world's-top spinners. "Hosting my mix show each week," he says, "and mixing alongside the crème of dance music like François K, Laurent Garnier, Dimitri from Paris, Carl Craig, DJ Pierre, Daft Punk, Afrika Bambattaa and Jumpin' Jack Frost has been my biggest inspiration."

Aline used the connections made through BPM to book and promote the NYC edition of the fabulous French soiree Respect is Burning at the now-defunct superclub Twilo. And he continued his rise to the top of the city's club scene by spinning a blend of sublimely deep house, gorgeous vocal material and tough tribal beats at parties big and small all over town.

But it's through Chez Music, the record label that he established when only 23, that Aline's name has become synonymous with high-quality house music. The label has released tracks from such esteemed artists as Llorca. Miguel Migs, Alan Braxe and DJ Spen (see below for a full discography), and Jon Culter and E-man's "It's Yours" was one of THE club hits of '01, and reached number one on dance-music charts around the world. Chez has also released the Aline-mixed On the Rocks compilations, which serves as a perfect introduction to his smooth-as-silk mixing technique and selection skills.

The success of Chez had enabled Aline to take his deejaying career to the next level. He currently hold's down residencies at two of NYC's hottest of hot spots, APT and Cielo, and he guest-DJs at clubs all over town and travels around the country to work the ones and twos. He's also been hard at work on his international résume, and has spun everywhere from European capitals like Paris, London, Zurich and Brussels to Asian metropolises such as Tokyo and Shanghai-and even his native Tahiti! But it's still in NYC that Aline's influence is most felt. Flyer magazine summed up it up thusly: "Considering the current decline of club life in the city, Neil Aline is pumping needed life's breath into our endangered scene. He's taking the risks we need to take." But Tricia Romano, the nightlife editor of the Village Voice, said it best: "Anything with Chez Music's Neil Aline's name attached to it is a guaranteed go."
