What to do tonight?

Well despite our recession and the fact that right after December is the slow time for NYC there is a host of great shows tonight! None that I am going (broke as a joke) but here are my recommendations:

Blkmarket Membership: Craig Richards + Ivan Smagghe @ Studio B

Ok here is the scoop. Craig hails from London and he will be banging out that sweet electronic-house and some nice minimal-techno beats. Translation? Think techy and tight grooves. Also Craig is coming from a club that allows him 3 hour sets so we are working with an expert as far as form is concerned on the dance floor. Ivan Smagghe is a Parisian DJ/Producer who will be wrecking the floor with my favorite - Electro-House! France is home to the sickest Electro-House producers and Ivan will not disappoint. I have yet to go to Studio B but I am sure it will be a great time. This show gets the "don't leave till it's over" stamp of approval.

Dessous: Vincenzo + Willie Graff @ Cielo

Vincenzo hails from Germany and produces tracks for Dessous records sporting a deep housey vibe that is perfect for Cielo. Vincenzo is an expert and has been around for awhile with Dessous. Willie Graff is a resident spinner for Cielo and he sports a deep housey-techy vibe that Cielo is all about. For those of you who have never been to Cielo it is a tiny little club that rocks face! Don't let its size fool you (its not the biggest club ever) it is about 85% dance floor and believe me that place can MOVE! Definitely one of the best clubs I have ever been to. I am sure this show is going to have a great deep dancy vibe all night long. It's a good thing I am not going out tonight because this one gets the "come early stay all night" stamp and I would be at a loss to decide which show to attend.

Ok, this is not to say the other shows are no good but these two get my seal of approval. I get all my club info from TimeoutNY and I research what I don't know and judge with my ears. Believe me I have been to plenty of clubs and boast a very good ratio of "Bust vs Best" and I rarely ever miss. Enjoy!
