One of Detroit’s most versatile decknicians is making his return to New York on Saturday, November 19th. Basic NYC is bringing the Motor City’s STACEY PULLEN back to the Big Apple for his very first appearance at the Greenwich Village dance den (le) Poisson Rouge for a night of dancefloor-wrecking techno hypnosis. Always one of our favorite past guests, Stacey Pullen fuses an unparalleled combination of technical skills with his cutting edge underground selections to make for an explosive night of raw, stripped down rhythms and pulsating basslines and grooves. We’re excited to hear what he has in store for all of us.
Stacey is an artist who takes his music very seriously. Schooled in the art of techno with a first-hand education from the Detroit masters, Stacey’s phenomenal DJing skills consistently wow crowds around the world, week in and week out. In recent years, his profile has exploded worldwide, with a packed schedule of international gigs and revered original tracks and remixes released on some of the industry’s finest labels. 2011 was one of his biggest years yet, with multiple appearances alongside Luciano for his Vagabundos events in Ibiza, jaw-dropping back-to-back sets with Desolat’s Loco Dice, the notorious Circo Loco at DC10, and Sven Vath’s legendary Cocoon night at Amnesia.
In the studio, Stacey has been similiarly productive. His own Blackflag label was relaunched in 2009, and he has contributed his unique sound and style to a huge range of tastemaking labels. His collaboration with Mirko Loko on Cadenza Records was one of this summer’s biggest releases, with tracks on Saved, Desolat, InFine No. 19 and Be As One earning similar acclaim from a huge range of DJs.
This will be Stacey’s first apperance at (le) Poisson Rouge, where Basic NYC has been hosting a number of huge DJs this Fall, with Jeff Mills coming up in December. Joining Stacey on the decks will be Basic NYC’s Sleepy & Boo, who have hosted Stacey many times before in NYC. Also spinning on the night will be the Samsara brothers, both Sullivan Room residents and regular Basic NYC guests. The duo of Gino Santos and Chris Cornacchia get the party started in their first LPR appearance. We’ll be bringing extra sound, and featuring visuals from Tito Jimenez at the party. Come down to (le) Poisson Rouge for a special night of dance music from this Detroit innovator.
