plexipr Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Body & Soul continues to celebrate 10 years this Martin Luther King weekend at Pacha New York on Sunday, January 14th under the same underlying themes of unity and spirit through music and dance. Body & Soul’s legacy began in 1996 when British promoter John Davis and DJ/Producer/Remixer Francois-K launched the party at club Vinyl in New York City and were joined by residents Joaquin "Joe" Claussell and Danny Krivit. This landmark party was the first New York dance party with 3 resident DJ's playing together as one.The Body & Soul Sundays became an international mecca for dance music lovers seeking to enjoy all forms of music with all the freedom of expression granted on a unified dancefloor. The party was a unique place for everyone to feel welcome, regardless of age, sex, color or social attributes. It was a utopian dancefloor for those seeking inspiration, solace and a renewed expression of the unique and joyous nature of The Party. After 6 long years at the club, Body & Soul continued their mission with three hugely successful outdoor events at Central Park Summerstage and private events for Giorgio Armani as well as live events in Italy, Portugal, Brazil and Japan to name a few. This July 2006 marked the Body & Soul 10 year anniversary celebration at MOMA’s P.S.1 Warm Up Sessions with a crowd turnout in excess of 7,000 revelers. This January 2007, Body & Soul recreates the party in an indoor venue, inviting all dance music lovers to come find freedom on the dancefloor for one and for all!The Body & Soul Volume 5 compilation will be released this April 2007 followed by an international tour.Sunday, January 14thJohn Davis presentsBODY & SOULFrancois K, Danny Krivit & Joaquin ‘Joe’ ClaussellMartin Luther King Weekend 6PM Til LateWarm up by Audi Hanley, Lights by ArielHosted by Miss EvelynPACHA NEW YORK618 West 46th StreetNew York CityInfo 212.209.7500Doors open at 6PM, $20 Advance Tickets www.ticketweb.com www.pachanyc.comwww.wavemusic.comwww.dannykrivit.netwww.francois-k.comwww.myspace.com/joeclaussell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Just to add that more than half of the capacity tickets have already been sold in advance. Plus with no work on Monday this party is going to be off the meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidoolongo Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 ½ an hour to wade through the crowd to find the upstairs coat-check. 40 mins on line before we all realized "If it's like this checking in, it'll be like this checking out." Plus the over-crowding... not worth it! So we buggered orf.All-in-all a costly reminder why I stopped going to mega-clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidoolongo Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 ½ an hour to wade back and forth through the crowd to find the upstairs coat-check. 40 mins on line, moving about 15 feet, before we all realized "If it's like this checking in, it'll be like this checking out." Plus the over-crowding... not worth it! Not even for Body & Soul. So we buggered orf.All-in-all a costly reminder why I stopped going to mega-clubs.

hangout Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 anyone have vids of that nite... would love to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbull Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 man i really wished this party didnt have to end. Bella VIBE no party aside from these type of events can have this type of VIBE sadly. Yo sidoo was wondering where you were at man. Cool videos only hope to see more posted as days go by. Musically it was everything from the 70s to songs that just came out last week, and thats what makes a great party playing different era and styles of music.

kfitz73 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Besides the near 2 hour wait to get in and check my coat, it was a good time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris817 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 gr8 time so worth the wait which even was not that bad.. music was banging and the crowd was so cool and friendly..Got in around 8 and stayed until 230.. def more into the body music than the soul towards the end...everybody there you would talk to would ask if you went to the old party at vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexipr Posted January 17 Author Report Share Posted January 17 silverbull!! amen - i have to agree, this party was great and pacha was a perfect venue, albeit all the negatives people are trying to bring to light. B&S was a musical / energetic epiphany - c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
