People NYC w/ Ben Sims Fri. 6/1 @ Sullivan Room
On Friday June 1st People NYC's summers sessions returns w/ very special guest Ben Sims.
BEN SIMS
Undoubtedly one of the UK’s biggest techno exports and a much in demand producer. Ben runs 4 labels (Ingoma/Hardgroove/Native/Theory), each one with a distinctive sound, ranging from hardgroovin’ and funk driven techno and house that is the trademark of his DJ sets, via tribal, to melodic electronica. In a genre that propagates sound-a-likes, Ben Sims productions have gained widespread attention and feature regularly in the boxes of his own personal heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills and Rolando, and countless others whilst also attracting crossover appeal that has seen Carl Cox, Fergie, Judge Jules and even Tiesto drop the odd sims cut. He has remixed Jeff Mills, Green Velvet, Blake Baxter, Marco Bailey, Chris Liebing and Adam Beyer and has a forthcoming artist album on the forward-thinking UK label Peacefrog.
The past 6 years have seen Ben constantly touring and tearing up dancefloors at legendary clubs & parties like- Liquid room, Tokyo, Sonar, Barcelona, Rex, Paris, Zouk, Singapore, I love Techno, Belguim and Tresor, Berlin, Awakenings, Amsterdam and Atomic jam, England plus hundreds of others with his tight, energetic and skilful brand of 3 deck wizardry. Add this to his recent ventures into promoting with both the Retro_vert and Split parties causing a storm in London, a monthly internet radio show with Split co-promoter Chris Finke and a new mix cd lined up for Billy Nasty's 'Torture Chamber' series, there's certainly no sign of things slowing down anytime soon for Mr Sims. Dont miss this rare New York City appearance!!!
Joining Ben in the booth will be
Rich Woods and Juan Gaviria - Two of the areas top talents will be joining forces behind the decks for a 1st time ever back to back set!! If you've had the opportunity to hear Rich or Juan's performances at some of our past events or elsewhere than you know this will be something special! Make sure to stay late, because these two are sure to close out the party proper and keep you moving till sunrise!
Anthony Velarde - Science and art are fused through the use of Ableton Live in his sets to merge his diverse collection of genres, original tracks and remixes. He forms a sound completely recognizable as his own and overflows with ideas on-the-fly. His knowledge of new technology has added an entirely cohesive element to his performance. His record label, Virtuoso Recordings, will launch riding on the success of Velarde’s first signed release, Skyla, on Acute Records, with co-producer, Mark Alston. It is blowing up dance floors and is being played by the likes of Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo.
He acts as resident host on ‘Gotham City Radio’ featured on www.livesets.com. He broadcasts worldwide every 2nd and last Saturday of the month from 18:00 – 21:00 CET (central europan time) and from 12:00pm – 3:00pm EST(eastern standard time) so be sure to catch him live!
