DJ DAVID BERRIE
What drew you to DJing?
I was in middle school and it was basically the only thing I liked besides girls.
What was your first DJ dig?
My first gig was at Dorsia in Manhattan. It was hip hop/house night and I opened for their main DJ (Omi) with house music.
What are some big musical influences?
There are too many to name. One moment that stands out is listening to Pink Floyd‘s Wish You Were Here album from start to finish with my friends. It really had a positive affect on me.
What do you consider your biggest achievement as a DJ to date?
Just because you've outgrown the years of trick or treating, doesn't mean Halloween has to stop being fun. In fact, one can argue - the older you get, the better the treats: open bar, drink specials, house name DJs spinning at your favorite party spots...not your average Tootsie Roll and Smarties package, right?
If you just want to get dressed up (or down), go out get a little cray cray and dance the night away, here are just a few suggestions for a guaranteed Halloween Hotspot venture:
FRiGHT NiGHT AT ELECTRiC BEACH
Missing those awesome summer beach parties already? Well you can stop planning that Christmas vacation to the Bahamas, and start day dreaming about Saturdays in downtown Manhattan. Your thoughts may be trailing, but rest assured that summer is, again, within your grasp. Well, in your fists, actually, since you will be fist-pumping the night away to this house music extravaganza.
Brought to you by the partymakers themselves - Corona Light - the Electric Beach series kicks of this Saturday, September 24th, at downtown dance hotspot Santos Party House, a legendary gem hidden in the depths of Chinatown. You may have heard of Santos Party House before; the nearly impenetrable velvet rope, the simple yet chic (regal white columns with a red brick interior) décor. Luckily for us, Santos Party House has opened the proverbial gate, allowing entrance to all music enthusiats who hear hear a house beat and can't help but dance.
