Thugfucker: Party Preview
Thugfucker, a pair of producers and DJs from New York and Iceland with a curiously unfriendly name, are premier practitioners of a new-ish breed of melodic, accessible house music that has become wildly popular. Not quite underground deep house, but not quite a mainstream affair, Thugfucker lies somewhere in the middle, crafting easy-to-love, disco-influenced tech-house with a knack for vocal flourishes. They're joined by one of America's hardest-working DJs,
Doc Martin, who has been putting together marathon sets of house music of all stripes at almost every major club across the world since the mid-'90s.
Jay Tripwire, a Canadian producer-DJ of similar pedigree, rounds out the bill with several local DJs providing support.
