the one-guest-a-month thing
In the past, Deep See had lots of guests. Sometimes as many as one each week like when we were at Idlewild, the hey-day of our party in its "industry" incarnation when lots of label reps, DJs, and producers would hang out at our party. That was a different time in the industry too: before 9/11, before digital downloading had ascended to a point of status quo, when New York was still a little bit more like it had been, and tribal factions of artistic types banded together (where as now you could say commercial interests predominate).
Anyway, then we had lots of guests. Weekly. As time moved on and as EMan and I kept honing in on our own respective styles and sounds, we started booking fewer and fewer guests. Until finally, where we stand now, we have decided to book only one guest per month, and we are interested in bringing guests that people might not get a chance to see in such an intimate space. Basically, it's a treat to anyone paying enough attention to know you could catch Dennis Ferrer or DJ Pierre in an intimate room like Sapphire, where the vibes are swamp thick when the party gets cookin'.
In December 2005, we had Dennis Ferrer (Sfere Recordings). He played his entire set off a laptop using a program called Virtual DJ. I was impressed, and could hear (because I've heard Dennis many times over the last 5 years) how much the constant touring he's been doing recently has upped his game in the DJ department. This is the kind of experience we're looking to bring to our party.
In October, we had DJ Pierre, one of the original acid kings of Chicago. It's almost amazing that not so many people know his name or his legacy when he was such an integral part of the early Chicago house scene, but I'm sure that will change as he makes a play for a new visibility with some of his new tracks. His "Paris Collection" single is a sexy, breathy monster for anyone who's heard it. We had a chance to have Pierre come through to play our sweet little room before he heads off to the Crobars of the world. This is the kind of thing we're going for at Deep See these days.
If you have any suggestions, by all means, email us. Or if you have anything to say, by all means email us. We always love to hear from you.
