Andy Caldwell brings a dose of Therapy to you this Wednesday night at Tokio in Hollwood. The last time Andy was at Therapy the line was around the block so you' better show up early.
Who is Andy Caldwell?
On his debut artist album Universal Truth (Om Records), critically acclaimed producer/songwriter/DJ Andy Caldwell delves into an uncharted world of rock/electronic/house, bringing his signature strong songwriting and production to the forefront. Featuring vocalists Gina Rene (Soulstice), Amma (Inspirit Music), Lisa Shaw (Naked Music), Omega (Afro-Mystik/Blackalicious) and Latrice Barnett (Ultra) with live instrumentation and co-production from his long time collaborator, Gabriel Rene of Soulstice fame, Universal Truth is guaranteed to turn many heads in not just the dance community, but the alternative / indie rock crowd as well. Andy's musical journey begins in the San Francisco Bay Area over a decade ago. Having a passion for the art of music long before the advent of electronica, and a decade before embarking on a career in DJng, producing and songwriting, Andys true musical expression hit all new levels in the wake of San Francisco's early 90s underground rave explosion, when the one-time concert trumpeter and piano player subordinated his horn and foot-pedals in favor of two turntables and a bag of vinyl.
Caldwell's first track "Superfunkidiculous" was released in 1994 and quickly became a top hit throughout the club scene, leading to a collaboration project with childhood friend Gabriel Rene. Forming the highly acclaimed San Francisco electronic soul super group, Soulstice, Caldwell and Rene produced and wrote music for the release of the band's phenomenal debut album "Illusion" and the renowned remix album, "Mixed Illusions." During that time, Caldwell also created a steady stream of his own celebrated releases for Om Records including multiple stand-alone, single releases, a Sounds of Om v. 2 DJ Mix as well as music featured on DJ Mark Farina's widely popular Mushroom Jazz series and the coveted Om Lounge compilations. Caldwell's seminal Om Records' release, "I Can't Wait" has appeared on numerous compilations, and become a favorite for DJs worldwide.

LARGEST U.S. SOLO SHOW TO DATE
SPECIAL EVENT AT THE SHRINE IN LOS ANGELES
International superstar DJ/producer Ferry Corsten spins this Saturday Night at the Shrine Expo Center in downtown Los Angeles in support of ‘Corsten’s Countdown Mix,’ a digital release compilation on Ultra Records.
“Corsten’s Countdown Mix is based on a one-hour weekly radio show that Ferry began in the summer of 2007 where he introduces new tracks and plays his favorite records of the moment while listeners vote on his website for the countdown show that airs at the end of each month.
‘Architect, pioneer and instigator,’ Ferry Corsten won ‘Best Trance DJ’ last September at one of the most prestigious dance music awards in the world, the annual ‘DJ Awards in Ibiza.’ The Holland native, one of only five DJ’s to have been voted in the top 10 in the world by DJ Magazine’s ‘Top 100 DJ’ for the last five years, is considered a tastemaker in this genre of dance music. He tours non-stop internationally and is an accomplished producer and remixer, having remixed the likes of Duran Duran, U2, Moby, and Public Enemy.”

A frequent visitor to the UK and Ibiza, he’s become a crowd favorite at events like Manumission, Miss Moneypenny's, Creamfields, T in the Park, and regular appearances at Ministry of Sound.
The Worlds biggest DJ's have spoken and it's that time again for the DJ MAG Top 100. After trotting the globe and playing on every crevice of the planet the votes are in and you may be surprised, or not, where your favorite venue is in the mix. Coming in at #1 this year moving up 1 position to beat out Space is Fabric and some say it's no surprise. With nods all around to management and staff.
“The formula for Fabric’s success is that there is no formula,” believes Fabric music director and resident Craig Richards. “Everything is based on simplicity of approach. For a large venture, our success has been realized in a really understated and modest manner. We consistently present quality underground dance music with pride and confidence. That’s all we have ever done.”
“Fabric has pushed the whole thing to a much wider audience and broken a lot of acts and DJs that wouldn’t have had the stage to do so otherwise,” continues fellow resident Terry Francis. “For me, it’s the best club in the world from top to bottom.”
Rounding out the top 10 following Fabric (London, UK) and Space (Ibiza, Spain), Amnesia (Ibiza, Spain) The End (London, UK), Womb (Japan), Panorama Bar ( Berlin, Germany), Pacha (Ibiza, Spain), Guvernmen (Toronto, Canada), Warung (Itajai, Brazil) , and Watergate (Berlin, Germany)... and if you haven't been to these spots you better start planning your next adventure now!
