Public Newsletter Archive Deckspin Music Deckspin MusicKevin @ BANK This Saturday May 12th! Next Article Hi Everybody:
Hope this finds you well. Been busy with lots of projects, so a few updates for ya.
I'll be spinning the main floor of BANK at Element this Saturday, May 12th! This is the last BANK party of the season, so come out for a twirl. I'll be playing from 10p – 12:30a/1a,and then the talented Nita will close out the night. Should be a blast! Reply back to this email for my guest list ASAP. Click on the BANK logo see Josh Wood's email regarding the closing:
I also make my public Fire Island Pinesdebut on Friday May 25th at High Tea. Brand new space...Friday night...Memorial Day weekend...it should be a great kickoff to the summer! Click the logo below for more Pines info:
My Kiss My Decks party at Brite Baris stronger than ever! Seems like it's caught on with the boys. Matt Kalkoff said recenly in his NY Edge column that "there’s no better place to begin or end your Saturday night than at Brite Bar." With John, Joe, Mel, Andrew, Vance , Sean and I taking care of you there, how can you go wrong? See the full article here:
I'm also pleased to announce that Larry Tee, Lainie Copicotto and I are co-producing a big festival in the fall called Dance Music Invasion '07. Our goal is to bring the best aspects of the Winter Music Conference and Coachella to dance music's birth home: NYC! Tricia Romano did a nice piece about it in her Village Voice Fly Life column that you can see here:
I'm back in the studio finishing up new original tracks, remixes of Matthew Duffy, Brian Scibinico, SuZen feat. Anabel , and DJ Sted-E, plus both a collaboration with and remix for Keo Nozari. Will send out release dates when I have them.
Also have some great new material now up on the download sites, including a new compilation Ray Roc and I compiled called "ROCit: Poolside." Think summer; latin/soulful house grooves; relaxing by the pool. You can get it on any of the great specialty download sites and on iTunes here:
You can also grab my EP " The Spacial Persepective" on Traxsource and Beatport in the States or Xpressbeats in the UK:
I think that's it for now! Be sure to check my DJ schedule at myspace.com/kevingraves as I'll be travelling a bit over the summer and having special guest DJs for my Kiss My Decks party. Enjoy the music, and I always look forward to your thoughts/feedback. See you soon on the dancefloor!
Don't Forget To Dance,
Kevin
