The Beach Party, the Saturday night, summertime party at Water Taxi Beach, is back for another summer starting June 28 and ending on August 30. Residents Justin Carter, DJ Probus, and The Brothers' Brothers return, and the space is upgraded with a new sound system by Gary Stewart (who also designed Roxy, Sound Factory, Vinyl, and the Palladium). The lineup of special guests. Really Good. Get those dancing shoes ready.
We're kicking it off with Moodymann on June 28. The Detroit legend is mysterious and great. He's rarely played in New York, and when he has, he's played short sets in small places. Tonight, though, he'll be playing for three hours on the nice big dancefloor on the East River. The next week brings over another gent who doesn't often play in our fair city,�I:Cube, whose recordings released on Versatile over the past twelve years are the pinnacle of French dance music. On July 12 we've got a set of fellas whose name we can't announce, but here are some clues: a duo of New York disco and house DJs who've released a mix for a Campfire and whose music goes down better with a spoonful of leather. We're sure you'll figure it out. On July 19, the long-time hero of Wednesday nights in New York City, Mr.�Rich Medina, the king of a good vibe, will be dropping in for a visit. Then, on July 26, Detroit comes back to roost with�Omar S, a producer whose music defines the uncompromising greatness of his home city.
August? It's still a secret. But we're sure you'll be down when we announce them in July. Until then, here are all the specifics for the party.
