Obsidian Thursdays July 15, 2010

Aqua Booty Returns to Haven
Properly Stirred and Obsidian Thursdays Present
Eric Kupper - Jeannie Hopper – Greg Cuoco

New York City, USA, July 3rd, 2010. New York City’s premier mid-week club night is back once again in conjunction with Aqua-Booty. After the success of the first Obsidian Thursdays - Aqua Booty venture, the second collaboration will commence on Thursday, 15th July, 2010.
Properly Stirred, the events and hosting company behind the Obsidian Thursdays concept launched the weekday club night back in June, with the first outing playing host to dance music legend Tony Humphries. This time around the DJ lineup is equally as impressive with DJs Jeannie Hopper, Eric Kupper and Aqua Booty resident Greg Cuoco in attendance.
Properly Stirred is on a mission to host not just the biggest names in dance music, but to entertain the Obsidian crowd with innovators and big personalities. The first DJ on the bill is exactly that. Described by Muzik Magazine as, “The DJ who is devoted to exposing soul infused grooves of all persuasions”, Jeannie Hopper fits the Obsidian trendsetting concept to a tee. Her Saturday night ‘Liquid Sound Lounge’ show on WBAI 99.5 FM is the longest running prime time radio show in New York City (Est. 1993), and Jeannie is famed for her mixture of soulful based electronic and live music. A well respected DJ unafraid to play against popular music trends, Jennie Hopper remains a sought after personality throughout the New York Club scene.
Alongside Jeannie Hopper will be the multi-talented Eric Kupper. Eric is an all round musician. A talented DJ, producer and instrumentalist, he started his career in the 80s as a keyboardist, guitarist and songwriter. In his early years he worked with the likes of David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Arthur Baker, Mark Kamins, Justin Strauss, Peter Rauhofer and Richie Jones. Eric’s escalation through the music industry was a fast one, and in addition to being one of the first 5 Hed Kandi DJs, Eric has remixed some of the biggest names in music, including Garbage, Usher, Alicia Keys, Afrika Bambataa, Whitney Houston, Marianne Faithful, Goldfrap, New Order, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, Robert Palmer and more. Having played on, remixed and/or produced over 1700 records, Eric Kupper is widely considered as one of the founders of modern day house music.
Aqua Booty founder Greg Cuoco wraps up the roster for this special event. Greg’s Aqua Booty night has been in effect for 17 years, coincidently kicking off in the same year as Jeannie Hopper’s WBAI radio show. Aqua Booty was born out of one room at a night called ‘House Nation’ back in the 90s, since then the New York weekly has been providing clubbers with a policy of strictly good times and seriously good music. Aqua Booty and Obsidian Thursdays passion for funky, soul fuelled music makes this collaboration an essential attendance for New Yorkers seeking a momentary escape from the working week.
Obsidian Thursdays provide awesome music and delicious food for sexy and sophisticated people every Thursday night at a venue in New York City.
