Gondoliers

Two people decided it would be fun and interesting to write and play music together, It was so much fun that they decided to play in front of other people. That was so much fun, they decided to try and add visual elements to the live shows.

DJ Spacey Sissick (Closing Party)

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:56:44 +0000

Born the year of the 12”, Brooklyn raised DJ Spacey Sissick was nourished on a steady diet of the beauty that came from the strife of NYC’s last Golden age of culture. Disco kids, b-boys and graffiti drenched subway lines were all awe inspiring in equal measure to his impressionable senses. This all culminates into the artist he is today. Mel has been spinning under various guises for over 12 years.

Vinyl is all he thinks about. It doesn’t help that he is the buyer & manager of one of New York’s best record stores (infinityrecords.net), so he has boundless access to music from all areas & time. Taking the cue from his forefathers before him; (Mancuso, Levan, Arthur Russell, Ron Hardy, The Symlonylon crew), Spacey crafts deeps mixes that cram together late 70’s – mid 90’s NYC, Chicago, and Detroit street sounds along with new music that takes inspiration from those scenes. There were no boundaries then, and he continues to show that there are bridges in all music, as well as all of humanity if you look and listen hard enough

Kelsey Bozler

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 21:31:24 +0000

Kelsey Bozler delights in the cyclical process of nature as the unifying thread which runs through all. While time is a difficult concept to hold down, Kelsey relishes in any chance to manipulate and tear it apart in any way she can, mostly through the use of her eyes and ears, and often communicated to others through her camera.

Born in Brooklyn, Kelsey possesses a sense of wanderlust that keeps her on her feet. Drawn to the dark, hard and edgy textures of her urban environment, Kelsey juxtaposes those of softer and brighter landscapes; all part of the cyclical and natural urge for change, growth and rebirth. Landscapes, people, and still lives are all aspects of the way in which Kelsey processes information and rearranges her world, taking what is available and using it for what its worth…
