The only thing asleep last Friday night at André Balazs’ Shelter Island Sunset Beach Hotel was the sun—thanks to the first-ever Coucher Du Soleil party presented by Andre Saraiva + Encore (and sponsored by Absolut). Attendees enjoyed performances by bands such as Gus + Scout and Exitmusic, as well as some mixed beats by DJ Arman Nafaeei. Be sure to watch out for several ENCORE! Sessions in the next few weeks that will take this event to the next level. (Encore!)
