"HOT FOR YOU" is a monthly party at The Parkside Lounge in New York City. Described by promoters Justin Caron & Robert Phillip Smith as "A backroom disco for the family", it is one of the hottest parties right now. On December 17, 2024 I was honored to be asked to play for the 50th birthday of DJ Superstar and one half of The Carry Nation, Will Automagic.

Max Mara creative director Ian Griffiths named his resort 2022 collection “Local Color”.  Inspired by a collection of stories by the writer Truman Capote the show was staged on the island of Ischia, Italy, at the Hotel Mezzatorre overlooking the Gulf of Naples.  Models walked below the striking 16th-century watchtower surrounded by bountiful geraniums.  The show was filmed by Ginevra Elkann, a director and niece of Marella Agnelli, one of Truman Capote’s “swans”.
Vocals by Alba Clemente & China Forbes.

For Spring/Summer 2022 Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths looked back to the beatnik era. He was inspired by “Bonjour Tristesse,” the 1954 novel by Françoise Sagan describing the rebellious 17-year-old Cécile’s dramatic summer vacation on the French Riviera. 

The lyrics are by Ian Griffiths. The vocals are by Ian Griffiths & Ana Schurmann. Piano & synth by Alberto Bravin, guitar by Michele Sponza.

For Fall/Winter 2021, Creative Director Ian Griffiths paid homage to established house codes, while also referencing style icon - Queen Elizabeth II. Celebrating its 70th anniversary, Max Mara transformed its runway show into a muted Royal coronation.  Set behind the backdrop of Milan’s Triennale Design Museum, models dazzled in signature house colors and silhouettes.

Ian Griffiths' Fall/Winter 2022 collection for Max Mara celebrates Sophie Taeuber-Arp, a true modernist who manages to add a sense of magic and mystery to everyday objects. The marionettes and costumes designed by the artist for her most famous work, “King Stag” exude energy and kinetic spirit. Fairy-tale characters suspended between animal and robot worlds, which inspire the powerful, surprising silhouettes of this new collection, that speaks the language of the modern elegance of Max Mara.
Thank you Alberto Bravin for the keyboards.

For Mark Kamins: RIP - VIP

The recent Netflix release of STYLE WARS (the Eighties graffiti documentary) features JOHNNY DYNELL's first record - the 1983 classic JAM HOT - throughout. This track included Johnny's signature rap, an homage to the taggers and breakdancers of that fabled era in NYC: "Tank, Fly Boss, Walk, Jam, Nitty Gritty" and the rest of the "Boys From The Big Bad City." The JAM HOT rap has had an extraordinary 30 years in the popular culture, including sampling by NORMAN COOK (BEATS INTERNATIONAL) on the 1990 U.K. #1 "DUB BE GOOD TO ME" and worldwide fan interpretations on YOUTUBE.
Johnny's first release of 2014, TANK FLY BOSS WALK is his Hip House/Tech House reworking of the rap, out 1/15/14 on ENDLESS NIGHT MUSIC. TANK FLY BOSS WALK is dedicated to original JAM HOT producer MARK KAMINS, who died in 2013.

Opening set for the Carry Nation 10th Anniversary party at Good Room, November 18, 2022.

When DJs Will Automagic & Nita Aviance aka CARRY NATION asked me to be part of their 10th Anniversary 3-Night DJ Blowout at Good Room I was honored. I've known them since they were DJ babies and over the years, I have been so proud of their success. They asked me to do the opening set on the first night. They said, "We thought that you should be the first one to start it all off". Honored, I thought that I should get the party started by playing Disco Classics and fun songs from some of the clubs that we have worked at in the past. I wanted the set to be happy and upbeat, just like CARRY NATION.

Jackie 60 was an underground party that ran from 1990 - 2000 in New York’s then unexplored Meat Market. As the Jackie 60 DJ I had the pleasure of playing records from Danny Tenaglia, David Morales, Louie Vega, Oscar G, Ralph Falcon, Angel Moraes, Liz Torres, Barbara Tucker and Joi Cardwell to name just a few. This podcast is a little taste of what Jackie was like and I hope it brings back some memories for the people who were there and inspires those who missed it.

Max Mara creative director Ian Griffith’s muse this season was Marilyn Monroe—the bespectacled, brainy, bookworm Marilyn, the desperate ex-wife of Arthur Miller, the former Norma Jeane—photographed by George Barris, windswept at the beach in 1962.

Max Mara Fall/Winter 2015-2016, Milan

Max Mara’s creative director, Ian Griffiths turned seaward for spring 2016, setting sail with a fresh, upbeat collection. 
In what was one of Max Mara's most upbeat shows in a while, star patterns replaced Max Mara's celebrated houndstooth print – reminding us of the starry sky maps that led ancient explorers to new worlds. Sketches inspired by artist and writer Jean Cocteau infused the collection with the sort of French charm that is the foundation of so many evergreen fashion ensembles. 
DJ Johnny Dynell’s interpretations of old sailor songs like "What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor" and Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam," an animated mise-en-scène illustrated by Brian Grimwood paid tribute to sea tales of old: Sinbad the Sailor, Bluebeard, and the biblical tale of Jonah and the Whale.

Every holiday season over 2,500 people come together for a night of cocktails and dancing called the TOYS PARTY.  This annual event has collected hundreds of thousands of toys and raised millions of dollars to benefit SAGE and their work with LGBT elders. The TOYS PARTY was started 35 years ago by New York powerhouse Robby Browne. Sadly we lost Robby this year but to honor him and his legacy of the TOYS PARTY I've made this 90 minute podcast. It contains hits from past TOYS PARTIES as well as some of Robby's favorite songs. From Liza to Lizzo Robby Browne's taste in music was a mirror ball and like Robby the crowd - from 18 to 80 - reflects that. DJing for this happy event is always a high point in my year. Unfortunately, the pandemic has forced the cancellation of the in-person 2020 TOYS PARTY but I hope that this mix brings back some fun memories as we toast the late great Robby Browne.
