Cielo has always been one of New York Cool's favorite NYC clubs. It is the spot for dance music and the source of rave reviews from our nightclub guy, Jack Curtin, and photographer-around-town-but-now-in-London, Krisztina Fazekas. So when we got an invitation to attend their five year anniversary party (featuring DJ Pippi and Nicolas Matar), we were all over it.

In case you are not familiar with the Meat Packing Districts super clubs, here is a quote from the Cielo press release:

"Since opening in 2003, Cielo has featured a legendary roster of DJ residencies including: Francois K’s Deep Space Mondays, Louie Vega & Kevin Hedge’s Roots Wednesdays, Willie Graff’s Playtime Fridays, and Nicolas Matar’s Paradizo Saturdays. The superior programming continues with regular fixtures such as: Secret Sessions with Roger Sanchez, Junior Vasquez, Pure Behrouz, Vibal with Tedd Patterson, Turntables on the Hudson, Defected Records, Deep with Marques Wyatt, Demon Days with Carl Craig, and Giant Step nights with artists such as Ben Watt, Giles Peterson, and Jazzanova."

And if you live away from New York (or if you live here or there and want the hottest dance tracks to load on your IPOD for the gym), take a quick perusal at Amazon.com for the hot Cielo CD's. For more information about Cielo, log onto: Cielo.com.
