Time flies when you’re having fun, and that’s why it’s no surprise that we’re already celebrating the one-year anniversary of Sleepy & Boo + Friends at Cielo on Friday, August 12th. Over the last year, on the second Friday of each month, Basic NYC and Sleepy & Boo have brought their bumping, Big Apple beats to club’s dancefloor and DJ booth, with the DJ duo headlining a night of fired-up, hands-in-the revelry. We’ve been joined by a wide range of local friends and guests for each night, creating a party that truly shines the spotlight on what New York’s hometown music scene is all about. And we’ve been honored to present this showcase every month at Cielo – not only one of the world’s top nightclubs for electronic music, but also a cornerstone for NYC’s own local sounds.
It wouldn’t be an anniversary without a party, and on the 12th, we’re celebrating with some great music from start to finish. Joining Sleepy & Boo in the booth will be Autobrennt’s Holosound, who will be playing his second set for the party. He’s a long-time veteran of past Basic NYC events, and a standout NYC DJ exploring the fusion of deep tech and slow-mo disco sounds. Getting the party started will be Mike Murphy, who has played at several of our Sleepy & Boo + Friends events, and is known for his unpredictable sets and on-the-spot re-edits. It’s also Mike’s B-Day bash on the night – and Marina Masic’s as well – only adding to the celebratory vibe at Cielo. As always at Sleepy & Boo + Friends, we have free entry before midnight for anyone who emails rsvp@basicnyc.com for our guest list.
It’s been a busy and diverse summer of parties and music for Sleepy & Boo, who have been featured all summer long in DJ Times’ “America’s Best DJ” poll. This night at Cielo marks their return to New York after a month in Europe, where they played at two of Ibiza’s best nightspots. First was a set at Amnesia’s massive terrace for MTV Ibiza’s weekly event (alongside 2ManyDJs, James Murphy and Beardyman), and then at the legendary Pacha Ibiza, where they played the club’s Global Room as part of Pacha NYC’s annual Ibiza night. Memorable sets at District 36, the Dance.Here.Now. Festival at Governor’s Island, Hartford, Connecticut’s Room 960, Costa Rica’s Vertigo, and the Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City have been some of the highlights of the season, along with a few new radio mixes and online sets. There’s more to come in New York this Fall as well, with events coming up at le Poisson Rouge, District 36, and of course every second Friday of the month at Cielo.
It’s been a tremendous year of parties at Cielo for Sleepy & Boo + Friends, and we appreciate all the support we’ve received from the party-goers. We’re looking forward to continuing on every second Friday at Cielo, so make sure to email for our free entry before 12am guest list at rsvp@basicnyc.com. Join us by the DJ booth for the free champagne toast and we’ll see you on the dancefloor at Cielo on Friday, August 12th.
