Moby and "Respect Is Burning" at Santos' Party House Tonight
By Carol Lee
The legendary Parisian-Boat-Party-on-Seine Respect Is Burning will begin their summer weekly residency at the best nightclub in New York aka Santa's Party House (you say Santos', we say Santa's) tonight with their Paris-meets-Ibiza blow-out called "Été D'Amour." To get their party started right, the Respect crew has invited the vegan DJ/TeaNY proprietor Moby to kickstart the festival along with a DFA outfit The Juan Maclean. This lineup will either make you cream with ecstasy or gross you out. But if tonight's not your cup of cocktail, then there's always the next Thursday's party -- and every Thursday through September 27. Some of the confirmed DJs and performers are Busy P (Ed Banger), DJ Mehdi (Ed Banger), Michael Mayer (Kompakt), Superpitcher (Kompakt), The Martinez Brothers (Objektivity), Devlin & Xxxchange, Tittsworth, Alan Braxe (Roulé, Vulture), The Glass (Plant Music) Metro Area (Environ), James Curd (Greenskeepers) Drop The Lime, Stretch Armstrong, Kap10kurt (Plant Music) and 33hz (Fluokids). See you on the dance floor!
Santa's Party House, 100 Lafayette St., (212)714-4646. Doors open at 8 p.m. $10. www.santospartyhouse.com.

It is my birthday today and I am in full celebratory swing, but not so disconnected that I can't start my first ever entry for my blog here on PAPERMAG. Year 12 of Winter Music Conference is just as crazy, just as hectic and just as malnourished as I ever remember it. Being just shy of three years sober makes it a very different terrain but an awesome one nonetheless. After a weekend at Ghostbar in Dallas and then Club Q in Zurich, Switzerland I had one day in the studio where my studio partner, Mark Verbos and I finished a remix of Young MC's "Bust A Move" and almost finished one for Yoko Ono's timely remake of "Give Peace A Chance" which will resume as soon as this madness is over with.
