Made Event presents Sasha and John Digweed at the landmark Webster Hall for their first reunion tour in six years on Friday, April 4th, 2008. Sasha and John Digweed have a special relationship with NYC, where they held their long-standing and now historic 4-year residency at Twilo nightclub. From here they launched their US careers and are now considered the most sought-after DJ duo.

The last time Sasha and John Digweed toured the US was in 2002 on their infamous Delta Heavy Tour, known as the most important DJ tour to ever hit America. The tour forever raised the bar for large-scale electronic music events. Technically produced like a rock concert, complete with touring sound, lighting, staging and laser and video production Delta Heavy catapulted Sasha & John Digweed into arena headlining status and was attended by more than 85,000 people during its six weeks.

While most DJ tours are all about taking flights from city to city, Sasha and John will be hitting the pavement, bussing it through the country. However, unlike Delta Heavy, this tour is about going back to their grass roots. “You know that’s what it’s all about — giving the people a good time.” Sasha and John

“Its been six years since Delta Heavy. Both Sasha and myself have been talking for ages about touring the states together again, but really wanted to go back to our underground roots as recently the only shows we have done together have been massive festival events. So this time around we are playing a great selection of clubs with great sound systems rather than big arena shows, which will give our fans a chance to see us in a more intimate environment.” John Digweed

“While Delta Heavy was billed as an arena tour it was the theatres and clubs where John and I had the most fun and where we felt our sound worked best. So this time around we decided to focus on those venues. Over the last 6 years we have played together a lot in LA and NY, and whilst I love those cities, I’m really looking forward to returning to places like DC, Seattle and Minneapolis, where John and I haven’t shared the decks since 2002. Plus, spending time on the road with John on a bus touring the country is something I just couldn’t turn down.” – Sasha

Pacha NYC welcomes back France’s ambassador to the fabulous life DAVID GUETTA for one of the most anticipated parties of the year on Friday, March 21st. The white-hot Guetta makes a pit stop on his way down to another legendary F*ck Me I’m Famous party in Miami for a full, uninterrupted night of rocking house, power-disco and dancefloor singalongs.

A household name in his native France, multi-million selling producer, recording artist and promoter DAVID GUETTA has found the rest of the world is rapidly catching up, following the U.S. release of his third album Pop Life on Perfecto/Ultra Records.

“For me, it is all about sharing my passion with people,” he says. “That is why I am a DJ. A lot of producers, they don’t think it’s cool to play for people. But even in the studio I love to play for my friends. When I DJ, I play for the party – because I love to share my music.”

At first, taking his music to the rest of the world proved to be an eye-opener. “I went from a business class ticket to EasyJet,” he laughs. “Which is totally fine with me. It was really funny more than anything.” In Ibiza, English and American holidaymakers were initially not too sure what to make of David and his team handing out flyers full of exotic-sounding French names.

“People would laugh at us,” he remembers. “Especially the British people.” They weren’t laughing for long as Daft Punk, Cassius and the rest of the French dance scene exploded, David’s Ibizan ‘Fuck Me I’m Famous’ nights became the #1 destination, thanks to an ethos that harked back to the original spirit of clubbing.

“The idea is to have people who don’t normally mix,” says David, of the hugely successful nights he runs with his wife Cathy. “Clubbing had become like ghettos again, when it comes to my own night I try to do something different. At my night the social barriers come down – there are not many places where you can find a superstar next to a billionaire, a model dancing next to a student.”

What started as an ironic name – David wasn’t well-known at all outside France – ‘Fuck Me I’m Famous’ soon proved apt, with everyone from Kate Moss to Penelope Cruz to P Diddy joining the fortnightly pilgrimage, fired up by David’s skills as an irresistible party DJ. “My wife brings the glamorous people,” he admits, “and I bring the crazies.”

By now David had become one of the most in-demand DJs in the world, headlining nights in America, Australia, Japan, South America and beyond. Meanwhile, David’s career as a recording artist was blasting off into the stratosphere. His first two albums Just A Little More Love (2002) and Guetta Blaster (2004) had already reached 2 x gold in Europe, while the Wally Lopez mix of “Just A Little More Love” became David’s first UK hit in 2003, and remains a deathless Ibiza anthem to this day. In 2005 he was nominated for a Grammy for his remix of Deep Dish’s “Flashdance” and earned that rarest of seals of approval – the invitation to remix David Bowie, in the shape of his peerless “‘Heroes’” track. He was named DJ Of The Year at London’s House Music Awards.

Then, in 2006, David Guetta vs The Egg’s mash-up “Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away)” was a Top 10 smash around the world. In the UK it held the Top 20 for over two months. It caught the eye of Paul Oakenfold who quickly signed David to his Perfecto Records label for the release of Guetta Blaster in the U.S. The song was released in America April 2007 and still continues to chart on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart today.

Meanwhile, three Fuck Me I’m Famous triple gold-selling mix CDs, together with a record label of the same name, plus roadblock nights at the Miami Winter Music Conference, soon ensured FMIF was one of clubland’s most revered brands. The ‘Guetta Sound’ was truly becoming a global phenomenon. “I am like a tightrope walker,” David admits. “It is difficult, but my goal is that the super-cool DJs of the world play me, but I’m being played on the radio, too. That’s very hard.”

But David is about to show that gift is no fluke. The 14 tracks on new album Pop Life prove we’re dealing with the rarest of talents – someone who can move hearts and minds on the dancefloor and the Top 40. “It’s a balancing trick,” he says. “When you make a track for the club, it is the repetitiveness that makes it work best; so it becomes hypnotic, like a trance. But when you listen at home, you look for music with a lot of changes – because that is what gives it emotion. And I love emotion. So I have to have both.”

Hitting the ground running with two huge tracks, “Love Is Gone” (classic Guetta, featuring Chris “Just A Little More Love” Willis on vocals) and “Baby When The Light” (“The total opposite of what I usually do… a very feminine kind of fragility”), Pop Life features co-writes for the first time with Cathy Dennis (Kylie Minogue) and Karen Poole (Jamelia/Girls Aloud/Lily Allen), to name two. It’s David best album to date and also suitably-named, from the one DJ who knows pop isn’t a dirty word; whose club nights are open to one and all.

“Yeah, some DJs say pop is a dirty word, but I’m trying to be different!” he says. “Of course dance music is pop music! I’m always faithful to my community, but this album also has big, quality pop melodies. It’s the best album I’ve produced. I’m really happy and proud of it.”

David Guetta’s Pop Life is out now on Perfecto/Ultra Records.

Cielo is pleased to announce that their 5th Anniversary will be marked by the 5th release in the highly-acclaimed Cielo compilation series. The new compilation Cinco mixed and compiled by residents Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff will be released by Tommy Boy on June 17th. Later this month, Cielo will be well-represented at the 6th annual Club World Awards in Miami on March 26th at Set during Winter Music Conference, with nominations for Best Club (past winner 2005 & 2006), Best Party – Dance.Here.Now. and Best Resident DJ- Louie Vega at Roots.

This month, Cielo hosts the crème of New York and international DJ talent with another fine selection of some of the world’s leading house exponents.

Francois K kicks off a month of seriously seductive Monday nights as “Deep Space” lives up to its name with a truly enveloping journey of tripped out house, dubby beats and Francois’ unique blend of electronica. If you miss one Monday, don’t worry, seven days later it all happens again… and then again.

“Roots” finds Louie Vega & Kevin Hedge on deck duty at their weekly Wednesday soiree, where they’ll no doubt be road testing some past, present and future Miami classics ahead of the Winter Music Conference.

Cielo resident Willie Graff graces the decks every Friday for his “Play Time” night playing the same style of deep and tech-etched house that earned him the title of Pacha Ibiza’s youngest ever resident DJ. He’s made their Funky Room his own over the past few summers and Cielo’s dancefloor his domain the remainder of the year.

Berlin native and the mastermind behind Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug, headlines the Made Event on Thursday 20th. Fresh from sell-out dates in Australia and Japan, the night will feature his seminal tech-house infused beats, seductive funk grooves and edifyingly rich sonic soundscapes.

To mark the release of Cielo’s first Japanese CD, on Friday 21st we’re flying in Tokyo’s Masa – widely regarded as one of the most exciting house DJs in Japan. Masa’s no stranger to the US scene having previously worked with Blaze, Joi Cardwell, Ron Carroll, and Kenny Bobien, while as a member of Studio Apartment their acclaimed single ‘Flight’ won recognition far and wide with supporters including Gilles Peterson and Danny Krivit, and our own Francois K and Louie Vega.

London, Ibiza, New York and Sydney – Nicolas Matar has been there, seen that, done that. A DJ that refuses to be pigeonholed the Cielo resident’s monthly “Paradizo” night sees him joined by Willie Graff on the 22nd for a truly cosmopolitan affair named after our CD compilation that the guys also mixed.

Kristian Beyer from celebrated Sonar Kollectiv act Ame graces us on the 27th with a slick DJ set. The cult collective represents all that is cool, credible and sophisticated in the modern world of broken-beat and deep jazzy-house and the night promises to be another of the month’s do-not-miss events.

Finally, Friday 28th sees Nickodemus & Mariano, alongside talented percussionist Nappy G, join us for “Turntables on the Hudson”. Now into their tenth year of throwing parties the guys return for their monthly residency of sultry jazz rhythms, Eastern melodies and Afrocentric grooves.

CIELO – MARCH 2008 CALENDAR

Made Event presents minimal dance connoisseur and internationally renowned DJ and producer Steve Bug at Cielo with Adultnapper on Thursday, March 20th.

With over 17 years of experience, Steve Bug is truly one of the unsung leaders and innovators of the German electronic music scene and beyond. His impeccable sets reverb with seductive and laidback funk, dirty retro bass lines and random bleeps, incorporating techno, electro and basic funk into bare house grooves creating moody minimal and seductive music for the dancefloor.

With three different labels under his helm, Bug is able to cross the bridges between house & techno with his deep house oriented Dessous and the much-respected Poker Flat Recordings, the number one source for stripped down futuristic sounds with amazing musical diversity. On his third label Audiomatique, Bug has founded a playground for modern styles of techno and house. In between A&Ring the three labels and promoting two high profile club mix compilations last year– ‘Fabric 37’ from the esteemed club series and ‘Fuse presents Steve Bug’, Steve Bug is as prolific as ever. From the studio, Bug unleashed “A World Without Cru Savage” on Poker Flat where he demonstrates his chops for minimal elements put to maximum effect for the dancefloor.

Next, the brand new sixth volume in the Poker Flat series, ‘Dean Man’s Hands’ with CD1 mixed and compiled by Steve Bug, along with a bonus CD and brilliant mix by Clé is out now. Just like the notorious ‘Dead Man’s Hand’ in a high stakes all-nighter, this double CD release is full of carefully judged mind games and more than a few winning surprises from our finest artists. The album includes eight new exclusive tracks alongside the best current Poker Flat tunes on double-CD and double-12″ for that inimitable Poker Flat sound. The new album sums up perfectly the ethos of the label, that is, to produce genre defining electronic music, that works perfectly whether inside the head or on the dancefloor. If the selection, depth and field of music available here says one thing about this la*bel of labels, it is that it’s here to stay, and it’s not about to start doing things quietly! Here’s to Poker Flat in 2008 and beyond…..

March 30th PS103: Sunday School for Degenerates: Steve Bug + 20 Artists @ The Pawn Shop

Dead Man’s Hand is a two-pair Poker hand, namely “aces and eights”. The hand gets its name due to the legend of it having been the five-card draw hand held by Wild Bill Hickock at the time of his mur*der (August 2, 1876). It is accepted that the hand in*cluded the aces and eights of both of the black suits. The draw was interrupted by the shooting, and he never got the fifth card he was due. Although some claim it was the 9 of Diamonds.
