Since opening in 2003 NYC’s Cielo has quickly become one of the most highly regarded clubs on the planet and with more awards to its name in that time then any other including recently being voted Best Club of 2008 at the Club World Awards. To coincide with their fifth anniversary residents Nicolas Matar and Willie Graff have mixed ‘Cinco’, a sleek, sexy, soul-soothing collection featuring new music and remixes from the likes of Carl Craig, Ultra Nate, Arnold Jarvis, Swayzak, Kenny Bobien, K-Scope, Charles Webster, Nick Holder, Alix Alvarez, DJ Pippi, Justin Martin and Manoo & Francois A, and a dozens more beside across 2CDs. In a time where we’re increasingly being told to find new ways to let off stream from the riggers of city living, this comes as the ideal tonic. But don’t just take my word – Louie Vega underscores the club’s achievements when he says: ‘Cielo is the blueprint for the quintessential club of today. It captures New York City nightlife at its finest. Perfect sound, decor, atmosphere and a great crowd have made it a magical venue!’
