Aussie Nervo DJ’s to Headline 3-D White Party Palm Springs

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Everyone is going 3-D these days. Pretty soon you will see 3-D on your Grindr app with boys just popping out at you in more ways than one. Jeffrey Sanker just announced today that his famous White Party in Palm Springs is taking it to the next level and making the party this April 6-9, a 3-D Event.

Known as the largest gay dance music festival in North America it expands into a whole new dimension the first or second weekend of April depending if you count Saturday as the weekend which most should. Who can turn down a vacation of sun-drenched mountain vistas and spectacular desert skies? Even flying into the Palm Beach Airport is a vacation in itself half of it is uncovered.

The White party has always amazed with it’s breakthrough talent which have included performances from Lady Gaga, Robyn, Ke$ha and Jennifer Lopez. “White Party 2012 is going to be a 3-D experience,” said Sanker. “Bigger and bolder LED and visual displays and immense stage and platform structures designed to stretch the limits of your imagination, the only lenses needed are your shades.”

2012 will have a line-up including some of the world’s most innovative icons in dance music, including Grammy nominees Dave Audé and Rosabel, as well as Billboard #1 remixers/producers Moto Blanco (UK), Wayne G, Manny Lehman, Hector Fonseca, Andy Almighty and red-hot rising stars such as DJs Grind, Pornstar, Chad Jack and more.

Australian global DJ sensation, NERVO, (NervoNation/SirusXM) is confirmed to headline Saturday night’s White Party, their first appearance at a gay music festival. Definitely the ones to watch, these outrageously beautiful and talented blond Aussie twins have collaborated with such heavy hitters as Afrojack and David Guetta and recently rocked IMS at Ibiza and Winter Music Conference. We are big fans of Sirus XM radio and pleased to see such mainstream dj’s come into the gay festival and hope they play gay house and not just mainstream. We have high hopes they will mix some gayness in the mix.

Kerli and Rauhoufer bring ‘Happiness’ to the White Party Palm Springs

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Another year, another White Party Palm Springs. This year was by far the most hyped up event ever in the history of gay events from the amount of Facebook posts and Twitter contests. When they first announced they would have a major recording artist performing even Perez Hilton got in the mix suggesting that Britney Spears would be there performing or lip jiving. Everyone was pleased that Robyn was the pick because we know that girl has the circuit following. If you have been to one of her concerts you will feel like you are in a circuit party. Then again these are her smaller shows.. You won’t feel that way at her Katy Perry show opening. Robyn did a great job as always and fresh from performing at the NewNowNext Awards. (more…)
