DJ Spinoza - Ari Afterhours - Brooklyn US - Mar 2007

Biography of DJ Spinoza

Spinoza loves all music, and does not liked to be pinned down: playing freaked out psychedelic sounds at horizontal ambient parties makes him just as happy as moving the dancefloor to minimal party sounds (although he has certainly been playing alot of minimal lately). For four years, Spinoza helped DJ Olive run the Agriculture, a record label dedicated to bringing homegrown laptop dub to the masses. Spinoza has thrown or helped throw alot of parties and weeklies in NYC, including a 5 year stint at Halcyon with the Undercity weekly, but has put most of his energy into making the Bunker something special since January 2003. In 2005, he started doing all the booking for the Wolf+Lamb space in Williamsburg, helping to almost instantly transform it into the hottest afterhours spot NYC has seen in many years.

Spinoza has played lots of big clubs like Tresor (Berlin), Twilo (2nd room resident until they closed), Tunnel, and Vinyl/Arc, but honestly prefers to rock small intimate rooms. He's also thrown down at big NYC parties for the Madagascar Institute, Chengwin, Soundlab, Multipolyomni (at the Kitchen), Rubulad, the Lunatarium, Topsy, NYC Burningman Decompressions, and PS1. He's spun at way too many little parties at bars and lounges to remember, but some include: Openair, Halcyon, subTonic, Orchard Bar (Soundlab), Luxx, Baktun, the Cooler, Filter 14, Passerby.
