Deep Space NYC

About Me

Deep Space is an adventure into future dub, spacey vibes, and abstract grooves featuring resident DJ François K. live on the mixing board. We launch into orbit every Monday, at club Cielo in NYC.
Our goal is to bring you a weekly party to share our love for a vast, under-appreciated musical direction, which has started to emerge on dance music’s cultural horizon.
Dub has been present in popular music since its early 70’s Jamaican reggae roots, also filtering into dance music in later decades, but never widely acknowledged for what it is: a truly groundbreaking conceptual art form equal in significance to other giant aesthetic leaps such as Cubism or jazz. It abstracts the essence of music and allows its creator to redefine and reshape boundaries for what might otherwise be a predictable form of expression.
We wish, through our weekly Deep Space parties, to create a special welcoming atmosphere for those who appreciate music and dub. We will aim to show the countless links to dub's rich tradition by acknowledging its original creators, as well as celebrating it today by presenting more contemporary music of all types that share those spaced-out vibes.
The music journey launches every Monday at a Deep Space . Take the ride!

Since its launch in April, 2003 Deep Space has won some the most prestigious awards in the music industry.The party has toured and headlined major music festivals, clubs and industry events in Japan, Spain, UK, France, Germany, and throughout the US. We welcome you to visit our website www.deepspacenyc.com which has quickly developed into an international cyber community focused on music technology and rare music collecting.

Influences: In keeping with the open-minded musical spirit that dub has fostered, this party is the kind of event where sounds of all origins are played, not limited to one particular format but always sharing this common link of dub, whether improvised live at the mixing console or played from original recordings. Often we invite guest artists to join in and contribute to it in a live and spontaneous form.
