Don't be mad John Longo White Party was a Blast!

White Party Palm Springs Review By: Joshua Miller

www.joshuamiller.biz twitter: @joshuami11er

Jeffrey Sanker’s White Party Palm Springs was bigger and better than ever this year. With top notch performances and DJ’s it was not hard to stay completely entertained during the weekend.

Contrary to the opinions of disgruntled blogger (John Longo on circuitcadence.com) tickets were on sale for $195.00 back in December. Many reminders of raised prices were sent out in email blasts and on the White Party Palm Springs Official Website www.jeffreysanker.com

(Rumor has it John Longo was all bent out of shape because he wasn't granted Media Credentials for the event)

Myself and most people at White Party Palm Springs 2010 thought that Jeffrey Sanker raised the bar this year. After having Lady Gaga perform and record numbers of attendance in 2009, even I was skeptical. But this year did not disappoint. Jeffrey Sanker got back to basics and the entire weekend revolved around not an entertainer but THE MUSIC and the WORLD CLASS DJ’s that kept the dance floor and ambiance flowing throughout the weekend.

I heard from reliable sources that over 1 million dollars was spent on the 3 day production. Having been to many white parties in the past it was quite obvious that this years was over the top in sound, lighting and production. The stage and dance floor at the main event was bigger and better then ever with neon lights and sizzling Go Go Boys gyrating through the night. The T Dance doubled in size, additional rides featured and a Jaw Dropping fireworks display synchronized to the Grammy Winning song “When Love Takes Over” and Glee’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

As to the absurd comment that Jeffrey Sanker should not be hiring straight DJs like The Freemasons (in spite of the fact that the majority of those attending thought that their music was one of the Highlights of the weekend) is ridiculous! Isn’t acceptance what we have been fighting for all these years? Haven’t we in the Gay community moved beyond reverse discrimination? Now is the time not to turn our back on any demographic that loves and supports our community, but to embrace them! I was close to the Freemasons when they were DJ’ing, and they were clearly having the time of their life! I heard that they thought it was one of the best events they have ever played! Isn’t it great that our community can leave that kind of impression for those in the straight community?

Jeffrey Sanker and White Party Palm Springs have given tens of thousands of dollars to charities over decades, including Desert Aids Project and The Trevor Project. White Party has year after year provided jobs and employment for hundreds of people and has given gay businesses in the city of Palm Springs their single biggest economic windfall year after year. (Often times providing them with 20% of their annual revenue during White Party Week.)

$195.00 sure does seem like a small price to pay for A List entertainment, Music, DJ’s and lets not forget that White Party Palm Springs is an amazing event to get to know people from all over the world. I myself have already reconnected via email and Facebook with amazing people that I encountered at White Party.

In closing, my advice to those who want to have an amazing White Party experience check the bullet points below:

** Buy your tickets when they first go on sale, you might not be thinking about White Party in December but it will be worth it (You know your going to attend anyway) Join Jeffrey Sanker's Email List for updates @ www.jeffreysanker.com

** Stay at the Renaissance Hotel, The Pool Parties, Convention Center and T Dance are all but a hop, skip and a jump away!

**Use Sun block! The sunrays are out! Plus you don’t want a sunburn to come between you and the gorgeous boy eyeing you on the dance floor!

Hope to bump and grind into you in 2011 at one or more of the weekend’s awesome dance floors!

Jeffrey Sanker RULES the Desert with White Party Palm Springs

Joshua Miller

On April 9th, 2010 Jeffrey Sanker celebrated his 21st Anniversary of White Party Palm Springs. Every year we look forward to this star studded weekend not knowing what to expect and this year, he surly did NOT disappoint.

Weather was on our side the whole weekend and allowed us to dance and meet new people from all over the world! White Party Palm Springs is never an experience that I will forget.

Ke$ha sounded amazing, Agnes was breathtaking, Kim Zolciak overcame her fears, Britney Spears overlooked and Estelle closed the weekend down!

Here are a few highlights from my weekend that I hope you will enjoy.

The Top Ten Q & A: Agnes

By: Joshua Miller

Agnes is not your typical “New Artist.” Actually, she’s not really that new — certainly not if “new” means a lack of experience. She is new in the sense that she has recently been discovered by American audiences, and luckily for us gays, she is performing at the White Party Palm Springs T Dance on Sunday, April 11th! With apt comparisons to Leona Lewis, Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Minogue, Agnes’ first US single, “Release Me,” is taking the U.S. by storm. With the single a certified club sensation ‘Release Me’ is pure pop perfection! There’s a new pop star in town.

America, meet Agnes.

1) “Release Me” plays constantly on my iPhone, I am obsessed! How does it feel to find success in the U.S.? It feels wonderful, not only in the US but all over Europe. I am extremely happy and excited at the same time :)

2) What are you currently listening to in your iPod/ mp3 player? Taio Cruz "Break Your heart” It is my fav song. Also Black Eyed Peas and Whitney Houston.

3) What was the last song that you listened to that you honestly enjoyed? Anna Bergendahl "This is my life" She is a young girl from Sweden - so sweet and wonderful.

4) Is there one song that you have heard that you connected with on such a level that you wish you had written it? "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. Crazy good.

5) What inspired you to be a singer? I have always known..

6) If you had to pick ONE artist to sing with dead or alive who would it be? Mary J Blige. I love her charisma. To be on the same stage with Mary would be a dream come true.

7) How does it feel to follow in the White Party footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, Toni Braxton and Lady Gaga? I am so excited. Just to be there and be a part of the White Party weekend is absolutely amazing.

8) Who has been your favorite White Party Performer to date? Why? Lady Gaga...of course.

9) What can we expect from you on the White Party T-Dance stage? It is going to be one big party! I will have dancers on stage with me.

10) Describe an “Agnes” experience in 5 words. Hmmm, you will have to come to the White Party and see for yourself :)

The Top Ten Q & A: The Freemasons

White Party Palm Springs is just around the corner and I’ve got some GREAT news for you! UK’s most successful (Grammy Nominated) Remixers, The Freemasons are spinning April 10th @ The Main Event Saturday Night! The Freemasons consists of producers Russell Small and James Wiltshire and have remixed songs for the biggest names in music! “The Freemasons have such a broad, worldwide following and this is something I have always wanted to have happen.” says White Party Founder/Producer Jeffrey Sanker, “I’m thrilled that finally the “stars were all in alignment” and it worked out with everyone’s schedule. It will be a night to remember!”

You’re finally spinning in the U.S! What took you so long? We didn’t want to do it by halves... we wanted everything set up right and to find the right people and parties to play for… The US is not the easiest country to get into these days so we also wanted all the immigration paperwork set up perfectly so we'd never have any problems coming across the pond and we're really glad we did it this was as now we're flying... Also the US DJ's play for a lot longer than in Europe so we had to go on some self-made Extensive DJ training courses . Russell's wrist was going limp after 2.5 hours, but now he can keep it up for about 3 weeks

Your upcoming White Party Palm Springs will be your first Southern California appearance. What can they expect when they hear you spin live? Its always going to be uplifting, vocals are very important to us not just from a DJ perspective, but personally and we've been lucky enough to work on some awesome songs and we buck against the trend of monophonic dance music and play a lot of music. For parties like this we always prepare something special for the crowd, something unique and this will be no exception - Hopefully we'll have something new from us to drop. Our first trip to that part of California, perfect!!


How do you both manage juggling DJ gigs world-wide and growing demand for your remix work? Do you multi-task while on the road? We do multitask, technology means that almost anything can be made portable, and it's quiet exciting getting inspired at a gig then knocking ideas up on laptops the day after. We also have started splitting the work quite a bit for European gigs. I (James) do the studio end of things whilst Russell gigs at the weekends. In 2008 we were losing Friday and Monday from the studio and Tuesday was quite frankly questionable at times, but now both ends of the work gets covered... We both always try and play together if possible in the US though - It’s just a fantastic new experience for us.

How did you guys meet? Through a mutual friend, Jason who was the other half of Russell's precious dance act, “Phats + Small” When I moved to Brighton from London (via Sydney) Russ and I started working on dance stuff almost immediately whilst Jason went off and did his own thing.

You have mixed countless of remixes for high profile names like Whitney Houston, Kylie Minogue and Beyonce. What track was the most fun to remix? Why? The most fun was probably Whitney Houston’s “Million Dollar Bill” we have a very good friend called Scott who reckons he is the UK's biggest Whitney fan, so the whole atmosphere within our group of chums was excellent during those few weeks of work. Historically I think “Ring the Alarm” by Beyonce was the best to work on - we had the ideas in there very early on and knew they would work, so everyday was not at all stressful, just fun getting the vision finished.

Rumor has is that Techincs will soon discontinue the 1200s. Any thoughts on that? It's a shame as NOTHING sounds like Vinyl but they have to do it for practical reasons... when they are now only selling a fraction of the units they used to, we just can’t expect them to keep the production line open for sentimental reasons... Also the vinyl cutting lathes are an endangered species and in the UK the pressing plants are nearly all gone - you can't have a record deck with no fresh vinyl to feed it.

You spin all over the world for both gay and straight crowds. Have you noticed any difference between the two crowds? Do you tailor your sets differently when spinning for gay boys as opposed to more mainstream crowds? We can get away with so much more at a gay club in terms of musicality and vocals that we recently realized we are always really excited when playing gay venues, and normally apprehensive when playing straight venues. The one-note underground styles of dance music that come around every few years are here again in Europe and we're never sure how any straight venues are positioned until we get there - we are booked at some of these places because we sell records and can draw a crowd even though we might have to radically alter sets to suit the crowd and hardly play any of our own stuff.

In Gay clubs we are quite simply in our element as the records we make or remix are known and really appreciated and it's a joy to play the things you have worked so hard to get right in the studio to an Audience waving their arms around, also we can play our own stuff back to back in gay clubs and it just feels right. I have never seen a fight in any gay club - I wish the same could be said about the straight boys.


Have you noticed any difference between U.S. vs European or Australian crowds? Apart from the accent? he he... to be honest, not massively whilst playing. You guys and the Aussies have much better tans and better teeth.

Tell us about your process for when you remix a song. How do you approach it musically to give it your distinctive Freemasons sound? It actually changes every single time as we always try to work whatever we do around the vocal and song. For example, all our Beyonce mixes are drastically different from a music perspective, but being the same people working on them, they do have a flavor - I guess different dishes in the same restaurant would be a good analogy. We are also always taking some inspiration from the more underground end of music, be it the drums or production techniques, but most of all, we always try to make sure that chord progressions and basic sound of the mix compliment the original song - that’s what takes the time, but is also the most rewarding part.

What’s next for Freemasons? We're just about to start working on our own new album - we got carried away working with other people last year so it's a long overdue start. We are hoping to link up with some great singers, including the amazing Wynter Gordon from NYC who we met last year and really connected with. Studio has just been updated and we're all set. We're really excited this year, 2010 rocks already!

White Party Palm Springs in the LA TIMES

Thousands will soon be heading to Jeffrey Sanker's annual gay-themed extravaganza. This year, Lady GaGa headlines.
By Jessica Gelt for the Los Angeles Times

April 3, 2009

Every Easter weekend for the last two decades, gay men have flocked to Palm Springs for Jeffrey Sanker's White Party. Poised to celebrate its 20th anniversary next weekend, it's equal parts dance, pool, costume and networking extravaganza and has grown from a smallish spring bash on the outskirts of acceptability to a mainstream party that attracts nearly 30,000 revelers.

"There have been challenging years," says Sanker, now one of the gay community's most visible night life and entertainment producers. "Years ago, there was a right-wing Republican mayor who didn't want gay people in the city, and his daughter protested against us at the convention center. Now I'm receiving the key to the city and a proclamation from the mayor."

Sanker moved to Los Angeles from New York City in 1987, after working at now classic clubs including Studio 54, the Limelight and the Palladium. He visited Palm Springs a year later and fell in love with it.

"The weekend started as a getaway for all my friends," he says. "It was to celebrate the rites of spring. That's why it's the White Party, because everybody looks good in white."

The first White Party drew 500 people and was held at the Marquis, "the only hotel at the time that was open to hosting a gay event," says Sanker.

He considers 1992 a tipping point. "We took rooms at the Hilton and the Wyndham, and it started to become more mainstream." In 1991, then-Mayor Sonny Bono was cracking down on spring break.

"That's when the gay community really moved in," says Sanker. "They liked us. We're generally an affluent group, we shop and eat in nice restaurants, so we beat out spring break."

The White Party is one of the biggest parties of its kind in the U.S., Sanker says, and it has come to attract an impressive roster of performers.

This year's headliner is nouveau house-in-hot-pants singer Lady GaGa, who just last year performed as the third act at the pool party, during the day, which Sanker says is "about as low on the totem pole as you can get." Hers is the "fastest rise for any performer that I've ever seen," says Sanker.

In 2001, Jennifer Lopez performed. Sanker says her manager contacted him, something that happens often when artists want to "say thank you to the gay community" or simply break into it.

"At that point, she had only performed live about four times," says Sanker. "She came out in her Easter bonnet and knee-high boots, and 5,000 people were screaming. You could see her beaming."

Does Sanker think the sour economy will keep the party down this year? Not at all. "People still want to have fun. Instead of two people to a room, there are four. They carpool, and there's a layaway ticket that a lot of people are taking advantage of," he says.

This year's theme is superheroes. "We want to keep appealing to the twentysomething crowd who likes dress-up parties," says Sanker.

"Things change since you're 22," he adds, putting on his glasses to read from a mayoral proclamation that designates next weekend as the "White Party 20th Anniversary Commemoration Weekend" and concludes, "in grateful appreciation of the work accomplished on behalf of the tens of thousands of gay tourists from around the world who arrive in our diverse community of Palm Springs, California."
