This Friday, September 16th, one of Basic NYC’s favorite guests is back in New York for a special one-off event in the borough of Brooklyn. We’re welcoming the Systematic Recordings label chief, and DJ and producer extraordinaire, MARC ROMBOY back to NYC for his first set in the Big Apple in over a year. For this night, the party is at Williamsburg’s Cameo Galley, a cool and intimate spot in the heart of WillyB. We can’t wait to hear him devastate the dancefloor once again with his patented blend of buzzing techno and chunky, crunchy tech-house.
2011 has been a big year for Marc and his label Systematic, with one massive highlight: the release of “Luna”, his three-disc collaboration album with Stephan Bodzin, and their subsequent live performance world tour. “Luna” was a tremendous project, a compilation disc of Romboy and Bodzin’s collaborations, a live mix of the originals and remixes, and a collection of the album’s tracks remixed by some of the biggest names in techno and house. Their live tour was equally as extravagant, with the two artists performing on a dizzying array of iPads, computers and MIDI controllers. The tour took them to prestigious venues around the world, and only recently wrapped up with a massive finish at Berlin’s techno temple Berghain.
Marc Romboy established Systematic in 2004, debuting with the collaboration “Every Day of My Life”, jointly produced by himself and Booka Shade. It’s been full steam ahead ever since, as Marc’s label has released a steady stream of ace releases from a huge variety of up-and- coming producers and artists. Outside of Systematic, Marc’s music has been featured on fine labels including Josh Wink’s Ovum, Jimpster’s Freerange, Dirt Crew, Brique Rouge, Kling Klong and DFA
Joining Marc on the night will be Basic NYC residents Sleepy & Boo, who had the honor of playing at Marc’s “Luna” tour stop in Miami during this year’s WMC 2011. Also on the decks – and celebrating his birthday – will be NYC’s KYU. And making his first Basic NYC appearance will be Marv212 DJ. Cameo Gallery (tucked away behind the Loving Cup café in Williamsburg) is our home for this event, and functions as both a visual art gallery and live music venue. Marc’s sophisticated take on techno is the perfect fit for the venue, and we’re excited to have him back in NYC for this special night.
