CALLING Paul Van Dyk & Others: Simon's Reunion Party Memorial Day 1996 in NYC


Recommended Posts

THAT SHOULD BE 2006, NOT 1996. der....

Sorry to those NY'ers who've heard too much about Simon's. However I'm throwing a reunion party in May for Simon's. Simon will be there and so will the headliner from Simon's, Chris Harshman.

Both Paul Van Dyk's & Sasha's very first American gigs were at Simon's. Sasha liked it so much he came back the very next week. In 1994 Mixmag polled the top 100 international dj's as to their favorite place to spin. 54 picked Simon's in Gainesville, Florida. The club was so popular with the dj's because all we cared about was the music and dancing to it.

The Dream Thing: Having Paul and/or Sasha play since they started at Simon's and have them play the tunes from back then in theme of a reunion. Stuff from 1991 - 1995. Noone would know what most of that stuff was anyways. Chris Harshman would have to play too since he was the resident headliner at Simon's. We knew Chris up and down and Chris knew exactly what to play for us. This is what made Simon's so popular.

More details to come.

3 fave Simon's songs of the moment:

Scoraig - My "spaceship" song - has the lushest synths ever:

If anyone knows Paul tell him that Michael from Simon's, the one he gave his watch to, the one that he plays "Love Stimulation" for, wants to throw a party for Simon's (ie, Simon himself). Tell him it's another Germini party - he played at the last one we had in 94 I believe. Don't get me wrong: Paul & I aren't like best friends. He just knows how much I really digged his sets and songs and he appreciated that. I just will never forget that first set he played.

Check out my bestfriend dancing to Paul at Central Park this past weekend. He actually played a song, as we were leaving, that had the quote from below ("We are the music makers....").

She has the greatest taste in music that I know. And she dances like no other. It really helps to see how she moves if you have a song playing. You'll also have to remember we were dancing on a slant with twigs and rocks underneath our feet.
