New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ten years ago Cielo opened its doors to New York's coterie of clubbing elite - a discerning and dedicated crowd. Not only has it survived, it has thrived. Now in 2013 Cielo stands as the premier model for an intimate, music driven nightclub. A pioneer not only in New York City, the club is also recognized internationally. Cielo quickly established itself as a leading club for electronic music aficionados by winning more awards than any other venue in U.S. history. In its second decade, Cielo continues to forge an uncompromised program of cutting-edge electronic music by adding new, up-comers to its already well-rounded roster of resident and guest DJs - a list longer than any other club in North America.
Beginning on January 10th, Cielo celebrates its 10-year anniversary with a series of 10 special events throughout the month of January with an array of globally recognized artists.
"For the last ten years, we have opened our doors and welcomed a much appreciated, diverse crowd of die-hard regulars as well as clubbers from around the globe, and featured top-notch international talent." - Nicolas Matar, Cielo owner and resident DJ
Cielo recently won top honors for #1 Best Sound
System in North
America by Beatport. Funktion One - the legendary UK sound system pioneers - showcased their first North American installation at Cielo and continue to perfect an already perfect sound environment each weekend. Like a recording studio, foam tubing handsomely upholstered in retro brown and beige suede maximizes Cielo and its Funktion One's sound quality. These design and sound engineering elements combined with its amber wall lighting, sunken dancefloor and innovative lighting system all distinguish it as a leading boutique nightclub.
Cielo has always nurtured long-standing residencies such as
Little Louie Vega and
Kevin Hedge's Roots, Willie Graff and Cielo owner Nicolas Matar's Paradizo, Tedd Patterson's Vibal, and Francois K's Deep Space parties. With reliable residencies and unmatched guests, Cielo will undoubtedly provide yet another decade of quality house and techno for its valued and loved patrons.
Plus Cielo might be the only club in the world where friend and guest DJ
Danny Tenaglia might stop by unannounced and start working the lights!
Stay tuned for Cielo's mini-documentary featuring footage of some its most historic parties, interviews with residents, guest DJs, promoters, staff, and long time patrons. Coming soon!

"Cielo is an unique place, a 'small size' club for a big talented DJ's" -CHUS+CEBALLOS
"After having thrown over five hundred Deep Space NYC parties there, it would clearly be impossible to single one [best memory] out. We've just had too many exceptional moments and so many very special artists who contributed. Maybe the best part is just that our team has been able to keep forging ahead after almost 10 years of doing it, staying true to our beliefs while evolving into new sounds…all of which I think is a bit of an achievement in itself. To have been able to do this certainly is something that will be remembered and celebrated!" -FRANCOIS K
"Cielo continually books in the best underground artists as well as the big names that keeps the club fresh and vibrant. It's a very special room to play not only because it has one of the best sound systems in the world, it also gives artists a place to really entertain and express themselves." - HONEY DIJON
"The sound system, the size of the venue, the people that attend; the winning recipe that makes this one of my favourite clubs. The crowd come for the music and you can really feel this." -JAMES ZABIELA
"It feels proper old school and intimate to me. The people that come really know why they came and know what they want to hear. With the low ceiling and the way the DJ booth is set up the energy can be really intense." - LAIDBACK LUKE
"I love Cielo because they put an emphasis on an upscale, mature, come as you are nightlife experience. Plus, the DJ booth and soundsystem are perfect!!!!" -KEVIN HEDGE
"The quality of DJs booked, the intimate vibe of the club, makes it very special." -NICOLE MOUDABER
"Cielo is one of the best clubs i've played at in North
America period. It has a reputation as being one of the premier venues in NYC for house music.
Everything from the DJ booth, the amazing staff, and management." - NITIN [No.19 Music]
"As a DJ, Cielo is one of the most beautifully lit rooms. They really focus on the disco ball as a key piece of the lighting, which is one of the most classic and classiest ways to create magic in a club. In the middle of a breakdown or key moment, they stop the disco ball from spinning. On the dance floor it's like time stands still. It makes my heart pound every time, it's so gorgeous!" -SOUL CLAP (Charlie Levine)
"When you play at Cielo, the music is translated perfectly through one of the best sound systems in the world, so what you are trying to do really gets across, and the people on the floor truly feel what you're saying. That's the best relationship for a DJ to have with a dance floor." - WILLIE GRAFF
