Early in his career, Daze released a number of solid tech-house slabs on renowned labels like Jamie Jones' Hot Creations and German monolith Kompakt. These were savvy moves, garnering the attention of the global dance music cognoscenti, but something key separates Daze from his peers: his Miami roots. Steeped in B-boy culture, Daze began DJing at a young age, and the Miami sound — electro, booty bass, and hip-hop — is ever-present in his DJ sets. While that doesn't mean you'll hear Tag Team dropped in a Daze DJ set, you will hear him jump seamlessly from techno to electro to deep house to Italo disco without skipping a beat. Variety is the spice of life, and Daze knows it.
Detroit Swindle, meanwhile, is a DJ duo from Amsterdam (the two are Swindling you by making you think they're from Detroit — get it?) that has quickly established itself as a deep house fan favorite with a long string of 12-inches engineered for maximum dancefloor satisfaction. These guys know what they're doing — a tightly-wound bass line here, a cut-up vocal sample there, some rave-worthy piano stabs — and BOOM! Everyone's hands are in the air. On supporting duty is San Francisco stalwart Clint Stewart, known for his minimal techno DJ sets, his solo productions, and as half of duo Safeword. Come prepared to dance.
