Picture This: Sightings from The Flux Studios "Fabulous" Party, AES 2011
EAST VILLAGE, NEW YORK: The festive spirit of AES 2011 stayed strong on Saturday night, as aisle-dwellers transformed into party-hoppers after sunset.

For many, the post-Javits evening began with a packed gathering at Electric Lady Studios. Later on, those with the inside track got to an intimate event at Germano Studios. From there, it was just a hop, skip and a cab ride to the reigning emperor of East Village recording, Flux Studios.
The stylish three-room facility is the HQ for producer Fabrice Dupont (PureMix.net, Santigold, Mark Ronson, Les Nubians, Toots & the Maytals, Sean Lennnon, Babyface, Brazilian Girls, Bebel Giberto). It’s also legendary for being the former home of the Dangerous Music genius team, which originally founded the studio and served as a sponsor for the evening’s activities. Joining Dangerous in making it all happen was Focal, Lauten Audio, Vovox and Sterling Modular.
Visitors arrived in waves, greeted with champagne at the door and more on each floor, including Flux’ luscious rooftop. Audio luminaries and their entourages stayed laaaaate – the perfect crossfade into AES’ final day.
The way to Fabulousness.
