First is Galcher Lustwerk, a New Yorker who puts together some of the sultriest deep house cuts available, most of them built around his silky-smooth voice. He's neither a singer nor a rapper but something in between — one can only imagine that, after finishing a particularly groovy tune, he lights up a joint, sinks in, and lets himself free-associate till the deed is done. The results are simply intoxicating: Look up his 100% Galcher mixtape if you're unfamiliar, and treat yourself.
Then there's Nautiluss, a Torontonian by way of Montreal whose work is the most "techno" of these three headliners. In a just world Nautiluss' work could be called "tech-house," but to do so would place him among the exceptionally bland, soulless electronic music that populates the Beatport Top 100. Rather, Nautiluss borrows bits and pieces from across the house-techno spectrum, deploying vocal samples alongside the occasional breakbeat or Detroit techno synth flourish; the result sounds like the future coming to pay the present a visit.
Sure Thing resident Aaron J is on warm-up duty, and local selectors Nackt and Tyrel Williams will are also on board, going back-to-back in place of Scottish artist Linkwood, who had to cancel his appearance.
