Bryan Rabin’s Giorgio’s Discotheque™ rang in the New Year with a Black & White Masquerade Ball at The West Hollywood EDITION.

The evening was hosted by nightlife icon Susanne Bartsch and featured a captivating live performance by legendary entertainer Joey Arias, whose signature cabaret-style vocals and stage presence continue to define New York’s after-dark culture.

Notable attendees included Dita Von Teese, Dylan McDermott, Atticus Ross, Joey Arias, James St. James, Angela Alvarado, Robbi Chong, and more.

The Black & White Masquerade Ball kicked off with an intimate late-night dinner at Ardor, soundtracked by Daisy O’Dell—renowned producer, director, and nightlife polymath—before guests descended to Sunset at EDITION for the main celebration.

The dance floor was ignited by Los Angeles’ disco favorite Heidi Lawden, celebrated for her deep, comic, and transcendent sounds, leading into a headlining performance by DJ Nicky Siano. A resident DJ at the original Studio 54 and founder of The Gallery, Siano brought the timeless sound that shaped New York’s most legendary nightlife institutions.
