Artist Details
Gorgon City

Comprising Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott, Gorgon City have entrenched themselves in global club culture, offering a heady mix of big room house and underground bassline. With 10 BRIT-certified singles including 1XPlatinum and 2x Gold and over 1.5 billion collective streams in their repertoire, the core values of Gorgon City stay uncompromised. The proof lies in their activity over the past year. Sold-out shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (with a spring 2023 follow-update) LA’s The Shrine, a 16 week Ibiza Amnesia residency, a sold-out Printworks show and the release of latest single and bassline weapon ‘Sidewindah’ featuring celebrated MC Flirta-D. The track shot to number 1 on the official Beatport charts,and was later remixed by garage chart-topper Interplanetary Criminal. The duo have proven their music is equally fitting for sound systems of both open air arenas and underground raves. In 2014, the pair introduced their high-concept, hard-hitting approach with the now UK GOLD-certified Sirens. The album’s ‘ancient futurist’ approach drew on classic club sounds and the new bass-heavy house music emerging from the UK’s clubs at the time (the ‘Gorgon’ in their name is also a nod to dancehall legend Ninjaman, and the influence of bassy sound system music on the pair’s signature style). Sirens was home to five top 20 singles–including the MNEK-featuring ‘Ready For Your Love’, which went to number four, became a timeless club anthem, and minted a new singing star in the process. An intense period of global touring followed, incorporating DJ sets and full live shows ticked off bucket list with performances at Glastonbury, Coachella, The Warehouse Project, and Circus, as well as a residency at Ibiza’s Amnesia. Kye and Matt continued to work on new material during this period, squeezing in studio sessions between shows and working via laptops when on the go. The formation of record label, REALM, offered a space for the pair to explore more rugged, underground sounds, recently celebrating breakout hit ’Somebody To Love’ from Ben Kim with BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM playlists. Meanwhile, the huge success of Gorgon City’s acid-leaning ‘Real Life’ collaboration with Duke Dumont and NAATIONS saw their star rising further and faster. On their second album, Escape, Kye and Matt found a middle ground between the big-hearted energy of their debut and the upfront beats pushed on their own REALM imprint. The album also saw new names enter the Gorgon City fold, including UK rap and grime veteran D Double E. By now, the scale and staging of the pair’s live shows was getting bigger. Sold out dates at London’s Printworks and the Novo Theatre in Los Angeles sat among an extensive schedule of US and UK dates, as well as seasons in the Balearics–cementing Gorgon City’s status as one of the most consistent presences in the global club scene.

Haylee Wood

Maybe you discovered Haylee Wood during her DJ set at Skyline Music Festival 2021 or Global Dance Festival in 2022. Maybe you discovered her this year at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas when DJs played her latest unreleased track. But if you haven’t discovered Haylee Wood yet, what are you waiting for?

A lifetime love of music informs this up-and-coming Miami-based house DJ, producer, and vocalist who has been playing piano and guitar, singing, and writing songs since the age of twelve.

But there’s “music is my life,” and then there’s the kind of “music is my life” that only ravers understand

Haylee discovered dance music and the festival scene just in time to have COVID take it all away. Bored in quarantine, she realized she still needed the music that meant so much to her – and so decided to try her hand at mixing house.

Wood soon discovered she was a natural, and what started with playing at home soon gave way to playing for friends. Playing for friends soon gave way to playing at clubs in downtown Orlando like Elixir and Celine. And as it so often does, DJing soon gave way to producing.

Now residing in Miami, Wood looks to expand her empire, not only singing on her own tracks but also contributing to other producers’ works a powerfully emotive alto voice that recalls Alicia Keys in some moments and Beth Orton in others.

As for her beats, Haylee’s sounds would feel equally at home at a Dirtybird Campout or in the Neon Garden. Served well by influences like VNSSA, Green Velvet, John Summit, and Eli Brown, her DJ sets combine an ear for hooks and an eye for groove.

Too Heavy Crew

Too Heavy Crew, a DJ and Producer duo featuring Frankie and Carlos, combines their Cuban and Puerto Rican heritage with House and Tech House music. Their distinctive sound sets them apart in the music scene and has led to their growing popularity.

The duo heads the “official use only" record label and has played at major festivals like Imagine Music Festival, Okeechobee, EDC Orlando, and Skyline. With releases on Sticker Music, House Keepers Records, Rawsome, and Prime Society, Too Heavy Crew continues to make their mark in the global house music community.

Ed Alexander

28-year old DJ & producer Ed Alexander is a Washington D.C. native and started spinning house at the age of 19 at his alma matter University of Maryland, College Park.

Music has always been a part of his life/ his roots stem from hip-hop, latin & beat-driven music. Being the youngest kid out of 4, he was always shown music from an older-age group/demographic. “I remember I couldn’t understand what the lyrics fully meant or how the rappers/artists twisted vocabulary. All I remember is the beat being catchy—now I can it was the rhythm and grooves that kept those songs stuck in my head.”

In 2019, he traveled to Barcelona & Ibiza by himself in search of inspiration, “I had pretty much given up on the American house scene and I think that trip changed my life for the better... It gave me a wake up call to the other side of the world and how the underground house/techno scene dominates mega-clubs and is the highlight every night.”

Coming back from ibiza, his appreciation for underground artists grew for the likes of: Loco Dice, Luciano, Nic Fanciulli. His current inspirations are: Joshua Puerta, Latmun, Jamie Jones. His current house style is focused heavily on minimal drums with conga, bongo, and tom based grooves.
