Nice to see someone’s investing in music videos for dance music artists. Although we wish the director would have gotten Guetta to do more than just shill for Nokia and make love signs with his hands, it’s all good. The track is cool and the dance routine isn’t half bad. Thumbs up!
Looking for something to do on Thanksgiving Eve next week? The Bowery, Pacha NYC and Terminal 5 have teamed up to bring you and evening of hyped beats and funky sounds from everyone’s musical maestro of the moment, Deadmau5.

Now for something we didn’t know…Birmingham U.K. producer/dj, Kim Fai! He’s listed on the bill along with Sleepy & Boo. This cat is sick! We just checked out his tracks on his MySpace. What! Yo…crazy! His remix of the balearic classics Inner City Good Life and the Paul Thomas & Myke Smith remake of Atlantic Ocean Waterfall are incredible. He’s got a bunch of tracks out, including Drug Music 2009 with Mark Knight from Toolroom Knights on the vocal. We hadn’t heard his remix of Funkagenda’s “What the F*@&k.” We found the YouTube track and it’s served up in this post. Very deep, dark and certainly underground.
Before I leave the house for meetings in the city, I need to blast out a few quick emails. After clicking open Gmail and then swapping tabs to Facebook to check my feed, I saw my man, Markie Gee’s mix posted to my Facebook page. What better than to listen to deep house music as I let a few emails fly? This is smokin. Especially when you get to the Layabouts feat. Kathy Brown track, Choices. Now that’s a crack-a-lackin house track! It’s comes in at about 30:20. The beat kicks it hard and Brown’s energy on the track gels nicely with the theme, about making choices. Funny, last week at dinner with friends, we were talking about making choices. Now, here’s a track that carries on that conversation. At the very end, Roland Clark’s Deep In House makes you wanna move. I’m always DEEP IN HOUSE, baby! Thanks to Markie for sweetening the day.
While we’re at it posting mixes from all over the Internet radio spectrum, take a listen to this hot play list of tech house and house music anthems from August 2008.

It’s Sunday morning. You’re just waking up from a night spent dancing at the club. You know you want to get out of bed, make yourself some breakfast, and then hit the gym. But, you need a stimulus. Something to move your body. Here’s a little something to start your day, courtesy of Netmix and 8tracks.com.
This is a hot new tune from AVH, which scored a number one on the British charts. Check it.
The original was produced by Stonebridge for Champion Records, but it’s back for a remix treatment by Steve Angello and Laidback Luke. The video…eh…a little weak, but what did you expect in these harsh economic times—a masterpiece? No, we didn’t think so. Just enjoy the music and forget about the tacky motion graphics. You might like the second video, which is a collage of a bunch of live dates from around the world.

Aqua-Booty Party
DJ Greg Cuoco has relaunched his legendary Aqua-Booty party at Sin Sin, the upstairs room at Leopard Lounge on 2nd Avenue and E. 5th St. Tonight, Greg will share the tables with prolific producer and keyboardist, Eric Kupper. The event is hosted by long time dance music industry oracle, Debra Eriksen.
Aqua-Booty was a necessary stop for many underground house music DJs in mid to late 90’s. Given focus has been so much on trance and tribal house at some of the larger venues in New York City, it’s nice to see that some folks are bringing that underground, New York house sound back.
The party will take place the third Thursday of every month. Upcoming DJs include Tony Humphries, Scott Wozniak and Oscar P.
Also tonight, Roger Sanchez is back at Cielo for his Secret Soul Sessions party. This event is probably the most heavily attended house music night in the city, save for certain parties at Pacha. It’s best to come out early. Don’t wait until 12 midnight, because you might be turned away at the door. For more information, check out the event’s Facebook page.
If you miss out tonight, check out Scott Wozniak’s and Luis Baro’s party, Moonshine, downstairs at SB2 on Friday nights. For more information, hit up their Facebook event page.

What did I do over Labor Day weekend? Well, for one, I danced my ass off at the Turntables on the Hudson, Water Taxi Beach event to the sounds of DJ Matthias Heilbronn and the Nickodemus crew.
Water Taxi Beach is a little oasis of sand, sun, drinks and fun in the Long Island City section of Queens. Someone got the idea to set up a bar right on the East River overlooking Manhattan, so we hard working New Yorkers have an escape from the every day grind. Barbecue, fries, pizza, a well stocked bar featuring pitchers of sangria and a tent-covered dance floor and sound system are certainly a recipe for fun. Check out the DJ line-up and performance schedule at http://www.watertaxibeach.com. It’s running for a few more weeks, and will then close for the winter.

If you live in New York, you know there’s no place like home. Well, no place like home OR Cielo, for that matter. We love Cielo for its intimate atmosphere, killer sound system, rockin DJs and–most of all–a great looking, quality crowd who love house music. Kind of hard to find around here at times.
Anyway, if you’re looking to shake your body, Cielo is certainly the place to do it. Especially this fall. They just released their September schedule below. We’ll see you there!
