AFTR:HRS - Mixed By Tiësto New York, NY – Yesterday, Grammy Award-winning DJ/producer Tiësto announced via his socials that he will be releasing the first compilation album on his deep house label, AFTR:HRS, on December 23, 2016. The album, AFTR:HRS - Mixed By Tiësto, was curated and mixed by Tiësto, who selected 14 tracks that epitomize what his label is about and highlight a range of deep house artists from breaking to established. Both the label (created earlier this year) and the album represent a passion project for the dance music icon and were born out of his love for the deeper, softer side of dance music. “This year I started my new label, AFTR:HRS, to give a home to this kind of music. I’ve been doing a lot of deep house remixes lately since I really enjoy producing those,” said Tiësto. “This mix compilation is what I like to hear when I want to relax after I come back from a party.” Fans were able to hear a snippet from the album today ...

  **** SPINNING WITH DJ SUSAN LEVINE ****   Susan Levine It is Gay Pride weekend in NY and Pride is all about the celebrations and the music that moves the parties! So let's talk gay music! If I have to pick THE song that symbolizes PRIDE I think that the quintessential gay dance song is "I AM WHAT I AM." The song was originally introduced in the TONY award winning Broadway musical "La Cage Aux Folles" (1983–1987). It was composed in 1983 by Jerry Herman an openly gay man. "I Am What I Am'" was then recorded by Gloria Gaynor in 1983 and eventually became one of two Gaynor songs that became anthems for the gay pride movement the other being 1978's "I Will Survive." I closed the 2009 women's pier dance in NYC for the 40th anniversary of The Stonewall Riots with "I Am What I Am." The perfect song for such a big anniversary! Since there is so much great dance music that is associated with...

**** SPINNING WITH DJ SUSAN LEVINE ****  DJ Susan Levine Just want to say hi to all you followers of Times Square Gossip. My big fan James Edstrom has spent many a night grooving to my tunes on my Fire Island dance floor and has asked me to write a dance music column for you about what's hot in the clubs. I am a pop music dance DJ primarily on the gay scene in the North East. I just won "Best Dance DJ" by GO Magazine ( www.gomag.com ). In the summer my favorite residency is the club "Cherrys On The Bay" in Cherry Grove on Fire Island. I will be reporting from there. I have been a resident DJ on Fire Island since 2006 which is a seasonal beach community attracting tourist from all over the world. The majority of the dance crowd on Fire Island are gays from the Tri State area. The clubs in the Grove are legendary and are an excellent barometer for what's hot in the clubs! The Fire Island season officially kicks off with the BIG ...

**** THIS AND THAT Story By: James Edstrom **** The Legends Porsche And DJ Susan Levine Considering it has been a very boring winter with not much snow or any real excitement here in Times Square, I had a wonderful evening with DJ Legend Susan Levine the other night. I just had to see her before the summer season started on Fire Island. On the famed gay mecca, Susan is always working and even when I get a chance to hang out with her there, she has so many fans coming up to her, I can't get anything much to say in without being disturbed. So it was a relief the other night when I met her for drinks at the Cubby Hole and then went over to Stonewall to see the superstar herself perform, Porsche. This is where the whole gay revolution started and it seems Miss Porsche has started a revolution of her own. The place was packed! It was kinda the same thing in the village, everyone coming up to Miss Levine, but I found a secluded spot way in the back of Stonewall where we could talk and la...

Kim Kardashian With DJ Phresh DJ Phresh sets the tone for the night in many of the hottest, most exclusive nightclubs. Based out of New York City, DJ Phresh has spun at a long list of premier, A-list landmarks such as 1Oak, Butter, Upstairs, TenJune, Marquee, The Eldridge and ONE, creating a strong name and reputation for his work.

It's radical that he gets to be on the radio."The 37-year-old pop superstar also revealed she loved being pregnant because it gave her an excuse to watch bad TV. She said: "My TV time is really limited but when I was pregnant I made up for that. I loved shows about surgery and pregnancy and things on the discovery channel. It was my guilty pleasure. Gavin would come in and I'd say 'I'm sorry, I'm watching it again.' "
