DJ Barney Philly
"Internationally Renowned Circuit Kub"

Philadelphia PA USA Based.
Globally recognized and respected.

DECADES of professional nightclub DJ skills, and began my practicing in the very early 1990's.
When I was 18 years old I used to sneak away from home to go to NYC to hear Junior Vasquez at  the original Sound Factory and then found my way to the Limelight.
In my quest for obtaining the most illusive and private remixes of my idols I because friends with some of the most influential DJs in the NYC dance music scene. 
Spending many evenings in the studio with DJ Eddie Baez and becoming friends with other DJs like Razor N Guido, Chad Jack, DJ Escape, & Peter Rauhofer.

After years of just being a music lover and collector I decided to make the progression to Disc Jockey. After-all, I was entrusted with a wealth of rare and unreleased music, it should be played.

In Philadelphia I had already been closely tied to the nightclub community. DJs like Robbie Tronco, Michael DeCero, and Rob Lee were already among my close circle of friends.
So I was already doing a good job bridging the gap of transporting music between NYC and Philly.

I have played at almost every major dance venue in the Philadelphia region, and started to make a name for myself in other cities around the country.
I was embraced by the Bear & Leather community and quickly found myself playing at almost every major Bear or leather event around the country.

By why stop their. I have a Passport, a reputation and am well networked.
My global career started in the most unusual of places, Reykjavík Iceland where I have been asked to return year after year.
I then started to branch out into Europe playing London many times. North of my home into Canada welcomed me with welcome arms, where I am a frequently requested favorite in Vancouver!
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, I decided to cross the Pacific Ocean into Japan. Tokyo praised me, and continues to bring me back.
North America, Europe, Asia, where next?? The Southern Hemisphere of course!
Sydney Australia has asked me to provide music during their two week celebration of Sydney's Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras year after year since 2010.
This event is known the largest gay pride celebration on the planet!

I still am all about the music, the party, and the vibe, so its not unusual for me to play to a crowd of thousands at a major circuit party one week, then to a crowd of a dozen at a private birthday party or maybe a hundred at a bear run or Leather bar.
If my music, talent, and skills are appreciated I'm happy to entertain. 

Please enjoy my sets, and try to come hear me sometime!

Morabito: The Art Of Enduring Excellence

The word “legendary” rolls off the tongue easily and often these days, but in the world of music and nightlife that story is usually told in the past tense. Unless the legend happens to be Susan Morabito. Few names have dominated the dance scene over the course of three decades and remain as relevant, current and celebrated as Morabito.

Susan moved to New York City in 1987, and after opening her own record store in Greenwich Village called BPM, she had her breakthrough as a DJ when she landed a multi-year summer residence at the famed Pavilion in Fire Island Pines. In the early days of AIDS activism, she provided the musical inspiration at many international fundraising parties and became a sought after name on “the circuit”. The GMHC Morning Party on Fire Island, Dance On Washington and Cherry in Washington, D.C., Blue Ball and Blue Redo in Philadelphia, Zoo Party in San Diego, Alegria in New York, Gay Days in Orlando, White Party in Palm Springs, Big Guns on the USS Intrepid for the 25th anniversary of Stonewall and the 20th anniversary of Dance On The Pier in New York are just a few of the events she played.

She kept people dancing until sunrise at after hours events during both Miami's Winter Party and White Party weekends, and her own Equinox and Climax parties became part of NYC nightlife history. She was the first woman to headline (with DJ Paulo one year and Victor Calderone another) one of the most famous dance parties in the world, the sexually infused, leather themed Saint At Large Black Party in New York City. Among many others, she also played The Saint At Large White Party with Peter Rauhofer and Twilo Halloween with Danny Tenaglia.

Susan Morabito has graced every major club and sound system in NYC, including Twilo, Roxy, Tunnel, Sound Factory, Limelight, Palladium, Roseland, Cielo, Pacha, Webster Hall, XL and Stage Forty8. Her musical reach extends to gigs in Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Milan, Amsterdam and across New York’s cultural landscape, where she created the soundscapes to many must-attend galas by Calvin Klein, American Ballet Theater, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Sotheby's, Martha Stewart, Anna Wintour and Robert Isabel. Susan was also the musical director for the fashion world's most luminous event, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit gala tribute to icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

In 2013 Susan dropped her first name and introduced a visual identity to emphasize and support a new musical direction as “just” Morabito. Because of her instinctual understanding of music's power and her ability to drive the night with a wide range of tribal, underground, progressive and tech house, the project was enthusiastically received by the community. The past two years brought a quarterly residency at Viva in New York, repeated major club bookings in Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, Provincetown, San Francisco, Montreal, Washington and Chicago, and saw Morabito headlining the WE Party in New York and San Francisco, Masterbeat for New Year’s Eve and Halloween in Los Angeles, White Horizons during White Party Week in Miami, The Pines Party with Chus+Ceballos on Fire Island and after 22 years, the return to the main event for the 25th anniversary of the famous Black & Blue festival in Montreal.

A new generation is now discovering and raving about the impeccable taste and rare ability to create a cohesive and seamless experience on the dance floor that sets Morabito apart and that earned her the appreciation and respect of dancers and peers alike. Through a new focus on music production and remixing she will take her meticulous standards and craft well into the future and will ensure that the legend continues.
