John Acquaviva in Madison!
|
John Acquaviva will be playing a party with other artists from his Definitive Recordings label at Bora Bora on Ibiza on September 14th. The following day he will be in Madison to play a set at Willy Beats and then an after-party at Plan B… I can’t make the Ibiza gig, but wouldn’t miss seeing him in Madison!
John is one of the legends of the electronic dance music scene. He founded one of the most well-known and influential techno labels – Plus 8 Records – with Richie Hawtin in 1989. They subsequently formed the more house-oriented label – Definitive Recordings – in 1993, and John continues to run this label. He was also a pioneer at combining traditional turntable DJing with the digital world, and helped launch FinalScratch and Beatport.com, which has become the largest dance-music download portal in the world.
We had the chance to interview him after Movement 2007, which you can read here: MMR interview with John Acquaviva.
Here’s a sample of John’s electro-house style… He’s all about the music!
Come on out and dance. This should be a real fun night.
Nick Nice and Andrew Pierce will be opening. $10 cover.
