Made Event proudly presents highly acclaimed Spanish minimal techno DJ/Producer Paco Osuna with Adultnapper at Cielo on Friday, November 14th , 2008.
Paco Osuna’s driving and pulsating brand of techno fuses tribal percussive beats along side the more clinical surgical sounds associated with the Minus label and the likes of Richie Hawtin and Gaiser. Being at home with both house and techno, as well as in the fusion between them, Osuna views his sets as an “in-crescendo”-journey causing variations of tension that drive the dancefloor crazy. The combination between this factor and his unquestionable technical skills make Paco is one of the leading, emerging forces in the scene.
Paco began his claim to fame in 1999 with a residency at the Amnesia in Ibiza, where he was greatly influenced by Sven Väth, both personally and professionally. Osuna’s interest for the harder sounds such as techno grew, but he never left behind his passion for house music. Soon after, Paco signed to the Serial Killer label where he released “I Can Feel My Blood Pumpin’” and “Me Vuelve Loca” on the Serial Killer EPs “Groove Grill” and “Beat Hacker”. More recently he has put out releases with Plus 8 Records including the tracks “Crazy” and “Orbeat”.
Joining Osuna for this epic techno filled night is none other than the dark and complex techno DJ/Producer Francis Harris, better known as Adultnapper. His unique sound has lead to his prolific career with productions appearing on Audiomatique, Nummer, Mule, Dirt Crew, and Superfreq. Harris’s exceptional technical skills generate complex arrangements that encompass highly creative and well designed baselines and micro-rhythms. In 2007, Harris launched Ransom Note, a concept label which, through music, text and imagery, will tell the story of the Adultnapper character, an anti-hero who is part creative genius gone awry, part tortured dystopic philosopher, part paranoid vigilante outlaw… and part Harris himself. Adultnapper’s enigmatic Ransom Note series continues with it’s third episode. This time the plot thickens as the narrative’s shadowy author fades to the background, setting the stage for the prophetic return of Alexi Delano in the form of ADNY, with two revelatory new tracks. The Forms EP also sees the introduction of the story’s first heroine, NYC’s own Berlin transplant Camea, who rises to the challenge of remixing “Under My Skin.” Out now on collectible 12” vinyl with color picture sleeve featuring drawings by John Stroud and text by Adultnapper.

November 5th, 2008 from Plexi PR
Online dance and electronic music magazine Resident Advisor is proud to announce its inaugural New York City party. After years of debauchery and good times in Miami during WMC week, Resident Advisor has decided to spread our stateside party wings further a field and take on the Big Apple. For this special night, Resident Advisor presents two of their favorite DJs, deep house doyen Dixon and Kristian Beyer of Âme, to grace the decks at Cielo, along with Beat Pharmacy’s Brendon Moeller on Thursday, November 13th.
For those of you who have already heard about Steffen “Dixon” Berkhahn, 3 words are generally associated with his name: DJ, House and Deep. Take them; mix them and shake’em, whatever option you take, the equation is there. Dixon is for the last 10 years one of the more genuine and purest representatives of what is still called “house” music. His latest release, D.P.O.M.B. EP was a joint project with both Âme and Henrik Schwarz and does not let down.
Âme are German duo Kristian Beyer & Frank Wiedemann. Inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder, West End Rec, Transmat, Weather Report and Herbie Hancock, they make Detroit-influenced deep house and music with soul. Recently Âme geared up to launch Fabric 42, and it’s already being considered on of the best mix albums of the year. On the highly regarded compilation, Âme create a kaleidoscopic blend of electronics and infectious grooves. They have created their own soundscape here with an all-star cast, which breathes a magical soundtrack to the last days of summer and beyond.
Dixon and Âme have always followed their own musical path. Innervisions, former sub-label of Sonar Kollektiv that was created by Dixon and Âme, was inspired by Dixon’s residency at “Inner City” in Berlin. Over the years, Innervisions has become the premier label for house heads everywhere thanks to era-defining club hits like Âme’s “Rej” and the Dixon/Âme/Henrik Schwarz collaboration “Where We At?”.
Alongside Dixon and Beyer, will be versatile NYC local Brendon Moeller, whose sets at Francois K’s Deep Space night fit neatly into the deep house aesthetic. With such innovators helming the decks, this Resident Advisor Night at Cielo will surely be a night not to be missed!

November 3rd, 2008 from Plexi PR
After all the months and months of hype, satire and debate, November 4th Election Day will see the dawn of a new era – whatever your allegiance, political stance or motivation, Cielo aims to make you celebrate or commiserate with some of the world’s finest DJs and live acts lined up this month to keep the recession blues away.
Tedd Patterson’s acclaimed Vibal night kicks off the month on November 1st delivering another edifying and soul-satisfying selection of gospel enriched house, and polished garage grooves. The Miami Magic Session man’s signature sound incorporating an intoxicating blend of contemporary and classic dance styles. The night is another afro-centric house jam where deep, soulful beats and Latin-infused grooves sit comfortably alongside tougher beats to create an atmosphere to match the warmth, intimacy and diversity of Cielo.
On Tuesday 4th, the night that America goes to the polls and the world awaits its outcome, come and celebrate or forget your troubles with the return of Adult Section. Metro Area’s Darshan Jesrani and Disques Sinthomme’s Citizen Kane, two of NYC’s more serious selectors, bring their monthly party to Cielo. Kane’s, the former disco buyer for New York’s infamous A1 record shop, has been a fixture of the downtown dance music scene since the late-’80s, while Darshan’s cutting-edge sound blends Detroit futurism, with Chicago’s abstract tracks, and the warmth of New Jersey’s deep. Make sure you’re part of the experience on a night that promises to be celebratory for all who still believe in democracy.
One of the many highlights of the month comes on November 6th as Hi-Tek Soul presents three icons of modern-day electronica: Derrick May, Kenny Larkin and Stacey Pullen. Reams could be written about each with May the one of founding father of techno who helped kick-start the Detroit techno scene with such seminal records as “Nude Photo” and “Strings Of Life”. Motorcity men Larkin and Pullen both cite May and Juan Atkins as two of their greatest musical influences, and although in recent times Larkin’s musical output has slowed considerably, as his burgeoning career as a stand-up comedian has taken off, his fellow protagonist Pullen, can regularly be found on one the four corners of the planet promoting the future sound of Detroit techno with his signature mix of ambient, jazz and centric grooves.
Paradizo on Saturday 8th welcomes Spirit Catcher, one of the most in-demand house acts, for a live set. Having graced the finest underground labels their polished future sound of disco hails from Belgium and producers Jean Vanesse and Thomas Sohet, who describe themselves as “a pair of misfits looking for life and love between the keyboard keys and the automated faders”. Ladies take note! Willie Graff, Cielo resident and co-compiler of our ‘Cinco’ 5th Anniversary compilation, supplies the soundtrack to the night.
On Thursday 13th Resident Advisor, the online electronic dance music bible, presents two of Germany’s finest recording acts, Âme and Dixon. Âme’s sound is easily accessible without ever loosing deepness, complexity and a distinct twist. Their inspirations, however diverse, are cleverly quoted but never copied, pushing the envelope with their unique blend of broken beat, tech-etched grooves and seductive house. For those not in the know, three words are generally associated with Steffen “Dixon” Berkhahn: DJ, house and deep. Take them, mix them and shake ‘em, whatever option you take, the equation is there. For the last decade Dixon has been one of the more genuine purest representatives of house music. Amen!
Made Event returns on Friday 14th with Spanish techno don Paco Osuna in control. The resident at Barcelona’s infamous Club4, and a regular alongside M.A.N.D.Y. in Ibiza, he first made his name on the White Island commanding the decks at the legendary Amnesia. Paco’s wickedly innovative sets combine driving percussive beats with deep techno textures and throbbing progressive house, reflecting his diverse array of influences. Currently on a world tour he arrives at Cielo after dates in London, Miami, Montreal, LA and Chicago before heading off to Canada, Spain and Germany.
Josh Gabriel is the latest in a long line of dance music stars to leave behind previous successes, feel born again and re-inspired to forge a brave new career path. Special guest of Made Event on Thursday 20th the former Gabriel & Dresden star achieved 16 Billboard Dance Chart #1’s and won the 2007 and 2008 IDMA award for America’s Best DJ, before parting company early this year with his former partner. “You can have something that is totally successfully but that doesn’t necessarily add up to making you happy,” says Gabriel whose solo progressive/techno opus, ‘Eight’ is amply proof of one reenergized bunny!
Junior Vasquez has been rocking New York dance floors for almost three decades with a handful of seminal residency, like the original Sound Factory and Tunnel in the ‘90s, through to Twilo and the Roxy in the new millennium. Now a monthly resident at Cielo, on Sunday 23rd Freedom presents a Junior Vasquez Classics Night where the maestro will be doing exactly as it says on the strap line – playing classics and only classics. Book Monday off and reserve a space on the dancefloor as you’re gonna be partying till dawn
Recently described as “Britain’s best kept secret,” Ralph Lawson was the man who putting UK clubbing in Leeds on the map with his legendary Back To Basics night, is guest of Paradizo along with Willie Graff the Thanksgiving weekend on Saturday 29th. Never one for resting on his laurels, Ralph has always kept a healthy interest in making music and is an integral part of the 2020 Soundsystem, described in the press as: “one of the best live bands within an ever increasing new wave of acts mixing up electronic music with healthy dollops of punk and P-funk”.

The official and full results of the British DJ Mag Top 100 poll were revealed last night at the official ‘DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s Party 2008’ in London’s Ministry of Sound. DJ Mag announced that Armin van Buuren has been voted number one DJ for the second year in a row!
Armin van Buuren has been listed in the DJ Mag Top 100 since 2001, when he entered the poll at the 27th position. In 2002 he climbed up to the 5th position, and in 2003, 2004 and 2005 he was listed at the third spot. In 2006 he moved up to the second place, until eventually in 2007 he topped the Poll with a number one position. And this year he did it again!
2007 and 2008 have undoubtedly been 2 of the busiest, yet exciting years for Armin van Buuren. Next to hosting his award winning, weekly radio show ‘A State of Trance’, which is being broadcasted to across 40 FM stations around the world and with an estimated 25 million listeners, Armin has released his third artist album ‘Imagine’. The album entered the Dutch album chart with a number one position, and was therefore the first dance album in Dutch music history to ever achieve that. Armin also toured the world with his ‘Armin Only: Imagine’ concerts, with the sold out first edition in the Jaarbeurs venue in Utrecht, providing more than 16.000 party people a stunning show and exclusive 9 hour set.
Armin’s reaction: “For me this is an incredible honour, because it’s an award from the votes of so many dance music lovers that went online to vote. I‘d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support. I could have never done this without the help of so many people. My management, David Lewis Productions, Armada & Cloud 9. Thanks to DJ Mag for an incredible year, thanks to all clubbers, fans, promoters, club owners, magazines, websites, radio stations, record labels, etcetera. Thank YOU!“

With nearly 100 productions and remixes under his belt from 8 different guises including Insigma (with Thrillseekers), Basstarts (with Lange) Olmec Heads and Trinity Project, Andy is one of the most successful DJ-Producers from the scene to date. Now returning to the equally iconic Maelstrom Records under his Pulser alias, we present to you Sunseeker.
After being discovered by Paul Oakenfold back in 1997, Pulser has progressed from the classic ‘Cloudwalking’ era of 2000 and today gives way to a honed, harder, electro-tinged, style of progressive trance. Equally known for his DJ sets, Pulser has played at some of the biggest events in the club calendar but doesn’t let this go to his head. With an ethos to always support new tracks from up and coming artists, Andy frequently chooses the new breed over established names to remix his own tracks, helping to promote them and keep the scene fresh.
Providing Vocal and Dub mixes, Sunseeker is a slick produced piece of euphoria, a perfect soundtrack for chasing that sunset or sipping a cool drink whilst chilling on the beach – the weather may be turning dismal but Sunseeker can help transport you somewhere else.

Luxury club & global lifestyle brand Pacha joined forces with UK independent label group New State Entertainment this week. The label arm of the Pacha Group, Pacha Recordings, inked a five-album deal with New State Entertainment for exclusive Pacha branded compilations in the UK & Eire.
Tim Binns, A&R Director for New State Entertainment, comments, “I’m really excited about working with the Pacha label and brand. It’s an iconic brand with a huge musical history that has grown and extended into many different areas outside music, so the potential is massive”.
The deal will take in TV advertised and non-TV advertised compilations spanning Pacha’s existing music brands, such as Pure Pacha, but also introducing some fresh concepts for 2009 and beyond.
Steve Hulme, International Label Manager/A&R for Pacha Recordings adds, “It feels like a perfect fit for Pacha´s maverick approach to the club world and record business. New State has amazing brands working with them already such as Tiësto, Godskitchen, Cream and Bugged Out and I’m very happy to join Pacha Recordings to that illustrious list. Tim Binns and Tom Parkinson are not afraid to take on projects outside the mainstream. They have a great awareness for the iconic brands they work with and have consistently managed to create success around those brands in the popular consumer market whilst retaining integrity for the brands themselves.”
The first release is scheduled to be a TV advertised project for March 2009.

Pacha NYC presents Grammy Award winning Italian electro-house superstar Benny Benassi with an opening set by Ultra Records own David Waxman at Pacha NYC on Friday, November 7th.
Benny Benassi hits the states with his fourth studio album, ‘Rock ‘n’ Rave’, including the hit single, “I’m Not Drunk”. The album stays true to Benassi’s electro style with the majority of tracks being heavily structured around a repetitive synth hook, shouting the odd computerized vocal. While Benassi might be best known for his 2002 summer club hit “Satisfaction”, he has a long list of accomplishments spanning the past six years. “Satisfaction” reached top spots in Singles and Dance Charts across Europe, receiving praise from the likes of Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, and Darren Emerson to name a few. A year later Benassi released his debut solo album, the campy and quirky “Hypnotica”, which won the European Borders Breakers Award in 2004 and also racked up the most sales for an Italian album outside of Italy. In the same year Benassi found himself ranked 18 in the DJ Mag favorite Top 100 DJ poll. Soon after, he founded his own label, Pump-kin Music, which primarily focuses on new and unsigned producers, with the goal of bringing exposure to the lesser known DJ/production talent across the world. In August 2007, Benassi released a remix of Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise”, for which he won a Grammy for Best Remix (Dance) in early 2008.
