Throughout the years, the much in-demand maestro has DJ’d or music supervised for various films (“Party Girl,” “Beyond The Steps: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater”, “Inside Deep Throat”, “Party Monster”), fashion shows (Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Marc Bouwer, DIFFA), Broadway premieres (Tootsie, Evita, The Color Purple), art installations (Deitch), nightclubs (Cielo, CBGB’s, Limelight, APT, Santos Party House, Ministry of Sound, SOB’s, Sound Factory, The Tunnel, Save The Robots, Pyramid, The Shelter) and special events (Lady Gaga’s Inaugural Fame Ball, amFAR’s Inspiration Gala, Bowie Ball, Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer‘ album launch party, Midsummer Night Swing at Lincoln Center, Balmain’s H&M Launch & Met Gala After Party, and New York Empire Tennis).
