All good things must come to an end even for our Robot brothers from another mother. After 3+ years and 140 parties at NYC venues like Cafe Deville, Table 50, Canal Room, Cielo and Pacha, the Underground Robot Alliance is calling it quits. But Robots don't go quietly so the 'bot boys called in the big techno guns to tear the roof off Cielo one last time. Joris Voorn played 12-2am and dropped all sorts of fun house and Detroit techno jams. After that, the Robot reigns were handed off to Chris Liebing who played the best, most intense two hours of music of the year. God damn! It was like a heavy weight fight between Chris and the dance floor robot soldiers - we'd take a punch, get up and swing back...only to get hit again! Relentless energy and emotion for two hours... neither wind nor rain, sleet or bathroom run could tear me away from the ring. It's been a long time since I took such a beating from a DJ and I loved every minute of it. As a HUGE added bonus...my Kellogg & Barcelona best bud, KJ, was passing through NYC to visit and celebrate her birthday so we had an added reason to get nutty. So great to see you honey!! Thanks for Making Robot Party™ with me!
Lots of love and respect goes out to residents Nick AC, Bill Patrick and Dennis Rodgers for providing NYC with it's techno soundtrack for the past few years. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!
Unfortunately I was too busy thrashing to get any videos of Chris' monster set, but I didn't manage one of Joris:
