Name:Deep Departures: Steven Caicedo (Nyc) And Jeff Gold
City:Canada, Quebec, Montreal
Time:Wed Nov 11, 2009 @ 10:00pm till Thu Nov 12, 2009 @ 3:00am
Description:Steven Caicedo is not your everyday beat crusader. He's a well-rounded maestro with impeccable taste in music and the knowledge of a connoisseur. From being the first DJ to host a show on Proton Radio to landing a job within Fatboy Slim's inner circles, or even advocating and pushing brilliant productions from Ready Mix Records, Steven’s biography is as impressive as they come in electronic music.

For the past 11 years, Steven has worked and spearheaded many projects in the music industry: from music buyer at Borders, to managing street teams at Astralwerks and Virgin Records and handling label priorities at Intergroove Distribution. Steven Caicedo is the pioneer dj and longest contributor on Proton Radio (www.protonradio.com). He's also played alongside heavyweights like Moby, Lady Miss Kier, to Lenny Kravitz, Oliver Lieb, Satoshie Tomie, Big Al, Moshic. His residencies include legendary venues such as Tunnel and Limelight in his hometown of New York City.

Handling many projects as a tastemaker, facilitator, markerter, promoter, advocate and consultant for record shops, labels, distributors, venues, hair salons, restaurants, spas, and even hotels, (as music programmer) only add to his lengthy acumen.

Never stopping, never settling down, he’s also done his fair share of globe-trotting, from Puerto Rico to the mountains of Peru, South Beach to the streets of San Francisco, from Miami at the Winter Music Conference to the State of New York’s biggest cities, most notably at some of the Big Apple’s most reputable clubs, from Boston for Moby’s Campus tour to San Fran, finally landing in Montreal, Canada. Steven spent the past 7 years in Montreal setting up his new home in Europe, with gigs confirmed in Germany and Spain.

With a sound that’s instantaneously recognizable, he's a nightlife mainstay, getting ready for a new gig or residency right around the corner. Directing events from a musical, acoustic or programming standpoint is no enigma to Steven either. From house to techno to progressive or to the customary classics we all love, and everything in between. Steven has no qualms switching genres as he blends them all in effortlessly, engrossing the listener, elevating the dancer to new heights and aural bliss. His music speaks to your soul and set after set, that rare but familiar transcendental phenomenon occurs where crowd and dj suddenly morph into one.

Perhaps the best testament to Steven's success over the years would be the countless eyebrows he's raised, or the various positive reactions stemming from dancefloors, or the heads he's turned locally and internationally. As he unselfishly spreads his knowledge, the listener goes through a wide range of emotions. One emotion however seems to always stand out, experienced time and time again: that ineffable feeling of love. Love given, received, felt, lived. And like love, Steven knows no boundaries and conquers all.

This Wednesday at Salon Daome, Steven plays with longtime friend and collaborator Jeff Gold, providing us all with a deep, bittersweet departure. There will be a special, limited edition CD available at the door (first come, first served).

So join us at Daome this week for Deep Departures and feel the soundwaves flow intergalactically. Come and embrace a sound and vibe that will immerse you in a universe that is typically and quite simply, CAICEDO.
