Back in 2013, Bedouin made their Burning Man debut since then they have been gaining extensive leverage in the dance music world.įRIDAY 3.13: CARL CRAIG, LUCIANO, CHUCK FLASK, AND KEITH KEMP The Brooklyn based duo, Tamer Malki and Rami Deejay bring to the table a unique, mysterious style reminiscent of traveling through a dark, hallucinogenic rain forest. Last, but certainly not least, BEDOUIN will be providing a healthy portion of euphoric, electronic energy. A live performance by the funky collection will undoubtedly have the crowd grooving and clapping along into the early hours of the morning. Pillowtalk's sound plays with aspects of R&B, boogie, techno and house - their latest, the Come Back EP (released on Life & Death) explores both disco and modern doo-wop styles. Opening will be the shimmering trio Sammy D, Ryan Williams, and Michael Tello - better known as PILLOWTALK. The small tidbits released suggest a sound that blends both tribal and robotic components but with Damian who knows what we can expect for such an immense performance. Alongside never before seen art by the visionary David Terranova, the London born producer plans to put on a spectacle that is invigorating to all the senses. Headlining is dance-music veteran DAMIAN LAZARUS the Verboten fan favorite will be debuting his latest project: a live band collaboration with The Ancient Moons, which he has been working on since earlier this year Lazarus describes their musical concoction as "incredibly talented and electric". Kicking off the weekend's massive celebration will be a night of boogie heavy, funky, deep beats. THURSDAY 3.12: DAMIAN LAZARUS & THE ANCIENT MOONS, PILLOWTALK, AND BEDOUIN So let's break it down, night by night, because you cannot afford to miss any of it. Dubbed VERBOTEN 001, we would expect nothing less than a behemoth of a lineup to commemorate Brooklyn's favorite nightclub - the three night long extravaganza features headliners of epic proportions: Damian Lazarus, Carl Craig, and Maya Jane Coles. In March 2014, in the prime, hustling location of Williamsburg, the sound-obsessed team opened the doors of Wythe Ave's newest locale - and now they would like to thank the fans, renew their dues, and celebrate their one year anniversary with a MONSTER of a party. It's hard to believe that the Verboten venue has only been open for a mere year. And since day one, Verboten's philosophy has stayed true: with good music, comes good people and good times. Before anything else, this had to be a place created for the true appreciation of art.Īt Verboten, an artist performs to appease him/herself, is given the leeway to be experimental, and can explore the true elements of dance music - the target audience is one who has a greater understanding of music artistry than the average concert go-er, they can identify craft and skill over relentless drops and bangers. It had to be hip, loud, and welcoming but most of all, it had to be about the music. “Sword” is the ultimate testament to that, delivering the ideal dance floor selection for any DJ looking to get a crowd dancing into sunrise.After a decade of throwing legendary, hush-hush parties around New York City, a company called Verboten decided it was time to open their own physical venue. Make no mistake, Seikaly’s strength and experience as both a producer and DJ have been paying off, as his recent billing alongside Music On chief Marco Carola prove. “All Of A Sudden” completes the EP perfectly, following suit with interlaced chords and a heavyweight kick over elegant percussions. “The Sword” is tribal in nature and packed-full of groove, a perfect track for the early hours of the morning. The bass is decidedly heavy, yet both tracks remain relentlessly melodic and easy on the ear. This two-track EP, exclusively premiered through 6AM, has everything it should have. What “Sword” confirms, however, is both Seikaly’s music production acumen and his well-deserved place in today’s house music scene. Rony Seikaly is no stranger to Yoshitoshi, having released his upbeat single “Holdin’ On” and its techy B-side “Faces” on the imprint last year.
