Earlier this year, Guy Gerber made waves when he penned a long-term exclusive 2-year deal with Wynn Nightlife. This October, Gerber will bring his renowned Rumors party to Wynn’s cutting edge underground electronic music showcase, Art of the Wild. 

Gerber’s party has built its name hosting the most exciting talent from across the spectrum of electronic music, with icons like DJ Harvey and Sven Väth, taking to the decks alongside cutting edge acts like Red Axes and DJ Seinfeld. For this Vegas edition of Gerber’s acclaimed party series, he will be joined by two of the scenes most in-demand selectors, modern day renaissance man Idris Elba and DC-10 resident Lauren Lane. 

Before you knew him as Stringer Bell or John Luther, Idris Elba was cutting his teeth on vinyl and playing established yearly residencies at iconic clubs like Pacha & Pikes. This month he’s on the cover of Vanity Fair, yet his dedication to championing underground club culture has never wavered. Lauren Lane has been a name on everyone’s lips this summer, her debut year as a resident of Ibiza’s notorious has been a huge moment in her career. She’s a longtime friend of Guy’s and been mainstay at RUMORS parties since 2015. 

As with every Rumors party, Gerber’s creative crew, will transform Encore Beach Club, with Rumors’ signature Asian and mystic influences. 

RUMORS emerged as a clandestine beach party in Ibiza several years ago, it has since become a global touchpoint for cutting edge underground house music held in far flung locales. RUMORS has traveled from cliff top locales in Ibiza to Mayan cenotes in Mexico to courtyards in old London town, evolving into a one-of-a-kind party that could only have been conceived by the contrarian imagination of Guy Gerber.

This Summer, RUMORS found a new home in Ibiza, pioneering a new space on the island, at the  beloved Las Dalias hippie market, a suitably esoteric venue for Gerber. He also debuted his new live performance at the iconic Webster Hall in NYC after a 5 year hiatus from live performances. Later this year, Guy will take his new live concept to cities around the US and Europe - watch this space for more news. 

About Guy Gerber

Guy Gerber has always favored the road less traveled. The Israeli DJ thrives on confounding expectations. What other underground DJ could collaborate with one of hip-hops biggest moguls, Puff Daddy, or start a left-field night at one of Ibiza’s most commercial clubs, Pacha? What other producer blends the worlds of melancholy and euphoria so effortlessly, or turns in a breakup album as an official mix for a revered club brand? It’s these kind of contradictions that define Gerber’s compelling duality.

Before he was fiddling with drum machines and synths, Gerber was all about groups like Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. These influences still echo clearly in his music today, whether it be his hypnotizing live performances or contemplative, moody productions. Over the course of four albums, Gerber has shown himself to be a singular artist. In 2007, he brought his debut album Late Bloomers to Sven Vath’s Cocoon, following that with 2009’s My Invisible Romance. In 2012 and 2013, he usurped the concept of a mix CD, delivering a Fabric album made up of 100% original new productions; then on Who’s Stalking Who creating an LP more akin to an extended composition than anything else.

As a performer, Guy Gerber is consistently rated one of the best touring acts in dance music, earning a top 10 live performer nod three years in a row for Resident Advisor. When DJing he’s known for extended sets, epitomized by a 12-hour performance at Burning Man in 2014. Gerber’s sets are never forgettable, and he has an unerring ability to disrupt expectations, whether it be confounding Ibiza VIPs with his 2013 Wisdom of the Glove residency at Pacha -- which even caught the New York Times’ attention -- or 12 months later going in a totally new direction with his clandestine free Ibiza beach party, Rumors. Even at more traditional club residencies like those he holds at Marquee, Sound, and Story, Gerber acts as the subversor, transforming the normative experience into something alive with mysticism and mystique.

On the label front, Gerber has helped curate and A&R some of underground music’s most intriguing talents. His label Supplement Facts hosted everyone from Chaim, to dOP, Guti and Kate Simko. In typical Gerber fashion, just as it was reaching its apex he put it on hold to launch a new imprint Rumors, a befitting title for the mischievously minded Gerber. The new project is off to a promising start, serving as home to Guy’s colossal collaboration with Dixon, “No Distance,” as well as his crossover album with Puff Daddy, 11:11, which proved one of 2014’s most startling and impressive LPs. As with Supplement Facts, Rumors reiterates Gerber’s attention to the visual aesthetic. Both labels have seen him collaborating with artists all over the globe -- most recently, visual trio WIFE at Art Basel in Miami.

What’s next for Guy Gerber? Like any good rumor, it’s sure to have tongues wagging.
