FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Monday, November 17th
Time: 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: The Hudson Hotel (356 W 58th St.)
Cost: Free with RSVP

Giant Step continue their bi-weekly, Monday evening, throw-downs tonight with LA's Marques Wyatt. In the mid '80s, at a time when the shape shifting of house music was rarely heard outside Chicago and New York, Marques Wyatt introduced the East Coast sound to his native Los Angeles via legendary house parties like BBC, MAC's Garage and Does Your Mama Know, to name a few. In the ensuing years, his prowess as a talented DJ, promoter, and producer earned him recognition as one of the most sought-after artists in the genre, domestically and internationally. Always true to his inner visionary, Marques continued his ventures into uncharted territory by introducing Los Angeles to "acid jazz" through Brass, his unforgettable weekly which debuted the live performances of high profile acts such as Jamiroquai and the Brand New Heavies way back when. At the same time, Marques continued playing his own brand of uncompromising, soulfully organic house alongside talents such as Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega, David Morales, Danny Tenaglia, King Britt, Mark Farina and Miguel Migs." 21+
