Guy Gerber to Transform Renowned Restaurant TAO Los Angeles into a Supernatural Nightclub this Halloween

Gerber Will Be First DJ to Perform at TAO Los Angeles

Ever the contrarian, Israeli producer and RUMORS label-head Guy Gerber’s persona has always been shrouded in mystery. Whether it be debuting the RUMORS clandestine beach party in Ibiza, only to have it transform into a global phenomenon with parties in the world’s most exotic locations, or creating a one-of-a-kind dance-focused album with hip hop legend P. Diddy, the dazzling 11:11, Gerber is always defying expectations. Now, Gerber announces his return to his home-away-from-home, Los Angeles, this Halloween to transform legendary restaurant, TAO, into a nightclub for the first time.

Located right the heart of LA’s most famed enclave, Hollywood, the bi-level venue will be completely taken over by Gerber. Combining TAO’s incredible setting, Eastern mysticism and iconography with Gerber’s distinct musical sensibility, this Halloween affair will be one to remember.

TAO has become one of LA’s most recognizable and dramatic venue. The TAO experience offers dramatic and intimate spaces, perfect for exploring, and an incredible setting for a party. The main dining room comes with a 40 ft sweeping staircase, towering sculptures of the 24-handed Quan Yin and Buddha and numerous tucked away banquettes. The upstairs Dragon Bar offers a more secluded but no less dramatic space to enjoy TAO’s acclaimed food and beverage menu.

Los Angeles has served as a second home to Guy for a number of years. Gerber first debuted his acclaimed RUMORS party in Los Angeles three years ago to much fanfare, christening another LA party-space Chinatown’s historic Gin Ling Way. Since then, the party has become an annual sold-out staple.

This past summer, Guy Gerber finished the fifth season of his acclaimed RUMORS residency at its home Destino Ibiza. This year’s edition saw new guests to the RUMORS lineage including DJ Seinfeld, Danny Tenaglia, DJ Tennis and more in addition to RUMORS mainstays dubfire, Cassy, Delano Smith, Death-Tones and NonCitizens.

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.
