Matinée New York LaLeche Festival @ Governor's Island
Sunday, September 5, 2010 | 6pm till 12am

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – The spirit of Ibiza hit the Big Apple in grand fashion on June 26, when a dream team of New York nightlife talent joined forces to present MATINÉE NEW YORK: the first stateside edition of the award-winning European event franchise.

Over 4,000 revelers took the ferry from Lower Manhattan to historic Governor’s Island for a full-tilt aural and visual experience, with the spectacular New York City skyline looking on. The event surpassed attendance and audience expectations, and was dubbed by the press as “one of the more phenomenal parties of 2010” – setting the stage for more MATINÉE events in the city that never sleeps.

"I wanted to bring something new and refreshing to New York nightlife; to raise the bar and make it a total experience," says event producer Jake Resnicow, "And we're just getting started."

“I’ve travelled to nightlife capitals all over the globe and heard hundreds of pitches to bring events to New York,” adds co-producer Tommy Marinelli. “But when Jake came to me with MATINÉE, I knew this was the one we had to do."

"MATINÉE's debut was a slam-dunk hit and we could not be more thrilled,” says co-producer Josh Wood.

The 6-hour show included theatrical décor, death-defying aerialists, a full cast of 30 dancers and performers, live vocal performances, and energetic sets from MATINÉE NEW YORK resident DJs Taito Tikaro and Theresa. The high-level production aimed to bring to New York the experience of the MATINÉE Group’s acclaimed European parties – like MATINÉE Summer Festival, MATINÉE Winter Festival, and the signature Amnesia @ Ibiza –in a huge, one-of-a-kind open-air space.

The event featured six major shows with custom costumes throughout the night, including two choreographed aerial acts. Billboard chart-topping recording artists Andrea Carnell made a surprise appearance, singing her #1 MATINÉE Records hit, "Open Up Your Heart.” Esteemed guests like international superstar DJ Danny Tenaglia (who called the event “an incredible experience”) and Pacha New York resident Boris joined the eager crowd. The evening concluded – an hour after schedule because of the unstoppable vibe – with a surprise fireworks display.

The next edition of MATINÉE NEW YORK comes this September with LA LECHE FESTIVAL (The Fashion White Party), a decadent couture circus for the senses, cast in white and crystal, and set to brilliant beats.
