Long known for billing top grade, sophisticated acts that cover indie, jazz, electronic and everything in-between. West Village staple Le Poisson Rouge hosted a special event on Sunday, ‘I Feel Pride.’ The heated dance party was not only dedicated to NYC Gay Pride, but also the 10^th anniversary of the music venue.

Aptly named LPR X, the yearlong event series presents an eclectic roster of headlining acts – both previous and new to the venue. Considered the founder of disco, Italian producer Giorgio Moroder hosted and headlined the night.

Moroder is considered key to Donna Summer’s rise to fame, producing “Love to Love You Baby” and “I Feel Love.” He is also responsible for the timeless movie soundtrack tunes “Take My Breath Away” (“Top Gun”), Irene Cara’s “Flashdance … What a Feeling” and Blondie’s “Call Me” (American Gigolo). Moroder wrote compositions for “Superman III,” “Rambo III,” “Beverly Hills Cop II,” and “Scarface.” Over the course of 50 years he has not stopped his output, working with premier acts including Barbra Streisand, Elton John, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Eurythmics and Daft Punk, et al.

The night was truly standout due to the caliber of artists, who bought a heavy arsenal of quality music. The crowd also contributed, as gays, straights and people of all persuasions convened on the darkened dancefloor for opening act Holy Ghost. The duo played an uplifting, funky set of electro and disco house, seamlessly mixing and building up their set. The room was lively as ever as revelers downed drinks and danced the night away. Patrons hung onto every beat and synth line, anticipating where Holy Ghost would take them next.

At the end of their set, Holy Ghost left the room begging for more. Afterwards, the crowd greeted Giorgio Moroder with cheers and enthusiasm, as he smiled and graced the stage. His relentless set had the crowd riled up as he played a medley of his Grammy-winning hits, plus remixes of his most famous tunes. “Hot Stuff” really took the house down as the room continued to fill up with fun-loving party people. For a man who is 78 years old, he more than showed his mastery of the art of DJing.

All-in-all, Le Poisson Rouge hit all high marks in putting together a remarkable pride event with music that, however different, are aligned in the history of electronic, dance, pop and disco.
