What type of music do they play here ?
They talk about Shelter and Body & Souls fierce musical vibe under the menu "about".
Is it what they describe?

depends on the night. It's a lovely space with a great sound system. Francois K does his Deep Space parties on Mondays, usually the residents keep Friday & Saturday to themselves (the owner is DJ Nicolas Matar).
I like the spot a lot -- might eventually do something there, after all the hooplah dies down.
"MAY YOU LIVE AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BUT NEVER WANT AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. MAY YOU LIVE TO BE 100, & ME 100 BUT MINUS A DAY, SO THAT I'LL KNOW THAT NICE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, HAVE PASSED MY WAY. AND REMEMBER, WHEN FRANKIE CROCKER ISN'T ON YOUR RADIO, YOUR RADIO JUST ISN'T REALLY ON."

You didn't answer the question, so do they play the Shelter/Body & Soul vibe on Friday's & Saturday's like they mention on there web page?

No Lincoln they do not.
It was my understanding the owner/managment wanted a club with the 'Ibiza' sound and thought that would be a catchy thing for NY.
I dont know what Ibiza sound means but the music on Friday nights is more something I guess you might call progressive or 'tech' house. In other words, it aint house.

the club is owned by Nicholas Matar, who plays a lot in Ibiza. I was down there on a Friday a week ago. He was playing Cerca de Mi and related material. (Yes Jamie, it was deep house, not progressive. . .Nicholas IS a deep house DJ). Monique sang live...her hits "Pure," "We Had a Thing" and a new track.
Soundsystem is great. Decor is swanky but cool.
Unlike Body & Soul, though, this place is about $$$, not about the vibe. No seating except for bottle service, Lots of Prada-clad yuppies, etc.
