WHERE'S JOHNNY? DEEP IN VOGUE (AGAIN!)
Late-night dancers at VANDAM have been hearing snippets of Johnny's upcoming 21ST CENTURY VOGUE project, due out later in Spring. Lots of the buzz is about BRING IT! - a new vogueing anthem written and produced by Johnny, featuring The Legendary SADE PENDAVIS of PARIS IS BURNING and PAUL ALEXANDER of THE ONES. The project will also include several new workings of the classic XTRAVAGANZA track ELEMENTS OF VOGUE, also co-written and produced by Dynell and featuring the great DAVID IAN XTRAVAGANZA. 21ST CENTURY VOGUE will be the first release on Johnny's new club-centric label ENDLESS NIGHT MUSIC, focusing on new genres born and reborn in New York City's pioneering clubs. More about the release and the new label in our next newsletter(s). Meanwhile, on to news and nights!

Downtown Divas extraordinaire SUSANNE BARTSCH and KENNY KENNY are ruling Sunday nights with their weekly VANDAM party and providing a dressed-up night out for their faithful followers and new acolytes alike. A 2009 BEST OF NEW YORK now one year old, VANDAM is wildly popular and insanely well-dressed in the most CREATIVE way. An integral part of the magic is DJ JOHNNY DYNELL rocking the dancefloor with his unique mix of what MICHAEL MUSTO dubbed "oldish new and newish old". Other weekly highlights include visually stunning guest performers, fabulous tableau from DIRTY MARTINI, AJOSHUA and CHUCK ATTIX and JORDAN FOX upstairs, and a downstairs DISCO DUNGEON helmed by DESI MONSTER and LADYFAG. Add free admission, complimentary cocktails 10-10:30 and the marvelously mixed crowd and this is a weekend MUST. We've seen nightclub legends and New Kids from all different eras out at this one - which practically guarantees that you'll see friends on any given Sunday.

This Tribeca mainstay is a perfect place to bring the boys (or girls) for a round or a bottle of champers and some dancing, and has a marvelously mixed crowd - gay, straight, local, tourist, etc. and even the local firemen from the "Ghostbusters" firehouse are known to stop by after work! Also look out for Saturdays 3/13 and 3/20, when Dynell mans the decks from 10 PM - 2 AM.
