Zeds Dead
Zeds Dead
One of the most successful independent acts in today's global dance music scene, Zeds Dead is a pioneering, JUNO-Award-nominated electronic duo hailed as "trailblazers of the modern North
American bass scene" (DJ Mag). Formed in 2009 in Toronto, Canada, by producers/DJs Dylan "DC" Mamid and Zachary "Hooks" Rapp-Rovan, Zeds Dead have continually pushed the boundaries of electronic music culture via their ever-evolving sound and curatorial vision. Their extensive discography -- which includes multiple breakout singles, EPs, and remixes and their genre-defying debut album, Northern Lights -- has earned them hundreds of millions of cross-platform streams and has notched them dozens of Top 20 hits across the Billboard charts. Today, Zeds Dead continue to push electronic music forward via their innovative sonic style as well as their trendsetting Deadbeats Records, one of the leading indie labels in dance music that has since become its own lifestyle brand and live events powerhouse.
Named after an iconic line from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 classic film, Pulp Fiction, Zeds Dead was born out of the lifelong friendship and creative bond of Mamid and Rapp-Rovan, known on dance floors across the world simply as DC and Hooks, respectively. They first joined forces as a duo in 2004 via their hip-hop-leaning project, Mass Productions, which produced Fresh Beetz, a full-length album of instrumentals and rap beats, in 2007. After discovering electronic music while in college, the two switched lanes and formed Zeds Dead, in which they combined their passion for hip-hop attitude and swagger with the frenetic energy of electronic music. Their self-released debut song as Zeds Dead, the electro-powered "Journey of a Lifetime," came in October 2009.
Alongside their blossoming career as artists, Zeds Dead were also establishing themselves as independent players within the local club circuit. In 2009, they launched Bassmentality, a weekly event series held in a small Toronto bar that showcased the emerging sounds and artists bubbling up from the dubstep and bass global underground. Led by the forward-thinking tastes of Zeds Dead, Bassmentality quickly became one of Canada's premier club nights and a go-to destination for the burgeoning electronic scene in North America, hosting early performances from today's foremost dance music artists, including Skrillex, Borgore and Nero, among many others.
While they're leaders in the worldwide bass community, Zeds Dead command a fluid sound that fuses diverse genres, from hard-hitting dubstep and throttling drum & bass to ethereal electronic and raw hip-hop. It's a limitless sonic style DC and Hooks have crafted over the last decade and have experimented with across their expansive discography. In December 2010, they released their debut EP, Rudeboy (San City High Records), which featured the dubstep-leaning title track and a handful of accompanying remixes. They re-released the track as an EP in February 2011 with an added guest feature from Toronto rapper/electronic artist and regular collaborator Omar LinX, alongside new remixes. They followed up with Adrenaline (January 2012, Inspected Records), which has accumulated +8 million streams on Spotify alone to date. Later that year, they
linked up with Omar LinX once again for a pair of collaborative EPs: Victor (March 2012, Jeffree's/Mad Decent, 5.7M/SoundCloud) and The Living Dead (July 2012, Ultra Records, +4.7M/Spotify).
Zeds Dead launched into 2013 with the club-focused Hot Sauce EP (January 2013, Mad Decent), which saw the duo expanding into new sonic territories beyond their signature bass sound, including house, breakbeat and glitch. They continued to shatter sound barriers on their Somewhere Else EP (July 2014, Mad Decent), their first proper release, which features cross-genre collaborations with Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, Dirtyphonics & Bright Lights, Omar LinX & Big Gigantic, and Twin Shadow & D'Angelo Lacy, among others. A momentous creative breakthrough for Zeds Dead, Somewhere Else charted on the Billboard 200 chart, with the video for EP single "Lost You" (+7M/YouTube) taking home the Best
Post-Production award at the 2015 Much Music Video Awards (MMVAs). Somewhere Else also secured Zeds Dead two major nominations at the 2015 JUNO Awards in their native Canada, including Breakthrough Group of the Year and Video of the Year for "Lost You."
With momentum fully burning, Zeds Dead released their debut full-length artist album, Northern Lights, in October 2016. As their most creatively ambitious project to date, Northern Lights includes a collection of crossover collaborations with leading artists from the wider pop music spectrum, including Diplo, Twin Shadow, Pusha T, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, NGHTMRE, Jadakiss and many more. Northern Lights, the creative apex of Zeds Dead's ongoing artistic evolution thus far, was a massive success: Counting +83 million collective Spotify streams, the album became a Top 10 hit on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums and Heatseekers Albums charts and received a nomination for Dance Recording of the Year at the 2017 JUNO Awards. Northern Lights also marked the first major release on Zeds Dead's then-burgeoning Deadbeats imprint, launching the next wave of the group's continuously expanding creative empire.
Elsewhere, Zeds Dead's discography also includes major collaborations and remixes with today's top artists in dance music and pop, including official remixes and bootlegs for stars like Billie Eilish, The Rolling Stones, Ellie Goulding and Diplo featuring Swae Lee, Bon Iver and others. They've also collaborated with electronic heavyweights like Illenium ("Where the Wild Things Are" ), Jauz ("Lights Go Down" and "Shake"), Snails ("Magnets") and many more.
Beyond their original music, Zeds Dead are cultivating the future wave of groundbreaking electronic music and next-gen artists via their visionary Deadbeats Records. Officially launched in February 2016, Deadbeats is today one of the most exciting and fastest-growing labels in independent dance music, counting more than 150 releases across its genre-blurring, rapidly expanding discography. Recognized as a "critical label for uncovering the next generation of bass stars" (DJ Mag), the imprint has helped discover and develop fast-rising artists like DNMO, PEEKABOO, Subtronics, ZEKE BEATS, 1788-L, Blanke, Holly, Ducky and many others. The label also hosts Deadbeats Radio, a weekly radio show airing every Thursday at 6pm ET on the Diplo's Revolution channel on SiriusXM that showcases the new, now and next in electronic music and features regular guest mixes from the imprint's rising stars.
Deadbeats has released a handful of renowned label compilations -- Deadbeats Compilation (Vol. 1) (2017), Deadbeats Compilation (Vol. 2) (2017) and We Are Deadbeats (Vol. 3) (2018) -- which feature original tracks from its wide roster of emerging artists and headlining acts, including REZZ,
Megalodon, Champagne Drip, LICK, Gentlemens Club and, of course, Zeds Dead themselves. In January 2020, the imprint released We Are Deadbeats (Vol. 4), the fourth installment in the ongoing compilation series, which sees Zeds Dead collaborating with a number of the label's artists and friends, including DROELOE, Holly, YOOKiE, Ganja White Night and more, and fully captures the sense of community across the close-knit Deadbeats universe.
Most recently, Deadbeats has expanded into the live events space, with Zeds Dead and the label launching international tours -- including the Deadbeats Tour that's run from 2017-2019 -- and curating hosted stages at global festivals and marquee events, including full-on label showcases and takeovers at SXSW, Miami Music Week, Nocturnal Wonderland, Sunset Music Festival, Das Energi and more. Since 2014, Deadbeats and Zeds Dead have produced the annual Dead Rocks gathering, a massive headlining show held at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver. The fan-favorite series, which expanded to a two-day event in 2018, has sold out every year since its inception and has become a bass mecca for bass-heads around the world. Now entering its seventh year in 2020, Dead Rocks has hosted groundbreaking performances from REZZ, Tchami, Rusko, Noisia, G Jones, Ekali and countless others.
Deadbeats, a still-growing extension of the duo's creative footprint, is today the culmination of Zeds Dead's journey that's seen the group lead the electronic music industry as independent artists for more than a decade. Leveraging the power of music technology -- from the days of Hype Machine and music blogs to YouTube channels and streaming services -- and social media, Zeds Dead have sidestepped the music industry machine to carve their own artistic path in their singular vision. Zeds Dead and Deadbeats now enter the new decade standing at the vanguard of global dance music once again. What started as a buzzing label has today morphed into an all-encompassing lifestyle and events brand, with Zeds Dead as its enterprising label curators and tastemakers.
On the live front, Zeds Dead have remained a staple on the international festival and touring circuit since first making their stage debut at a small Toronto club in 2009. The duo has delivered high-profile performances and headlining sets at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, EDC Las Vegas and more, in addition to their own international headlining and label tours across Europe, Asia, South America and beyond. In 2020, Zeds Dead will launch the next chapter of their ongoing Deadbeats Tour series, in addition to the seventh installment of the annual Dead Rocks event in July.
As Zeds Dead celebrate more than a decade at the forefront of bass culture and electronic music, they continue to break down the walls between genres and scenes, always pushing their sound into the future and evolving their vision toward new, unexplored dimensions -- just like they've been doing since day one.

ZHU
ZHU
ZHU is ready to move again. After spending a year stuck inside, the Grammy-nominated musician and producer is turning his eyes to the future, when clubs reopen and pure rave energy can overtake a crowd of writhing bodies yet again. Most of his third album, DREAMLAND 2021, was made at home during quarantine, but as he crafted the new set’s grimy techno and sweaty house tracks, he imagined the record as the score to a world starting to spin back into motion—even if, for now, that feels out of reach. Over the years, ZHU has won acclaim for exactly these kinds of forward-looking experiments, including a Best Dance Recording nomination at the 2014 Grammys for his breakout hit “Faded.” His debut album GENERATIONWHY topped Billboard's Dance/Electronic albums chart and landed on the Billboard 200, and he’s had dozens of tracks hit the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. These accolades have earned him partnerships with like-minded brands including Luminosity and Leica. And ZHU continued his productive streak in 2020 with a busy run of singles—including “Only” with Tinashe, “Desire” with Bob Moses, and the Kito and Jeremih collab “Follow”—and a string of live-streams for Digital Mirage, Insomniac, and Lollapalooza. But all of this success has never been the point—ZHU just wanted to head to the dancefloor and dream up better worlds. DREAMLAND 2021 basks in that impulse. He imagines everyone united under one roof raving—a party with enough energy to take over the whole world.
Amémé
Amémé
Fueled by an innate determination, drive and passion, with attuned intuition applied to both
his music and life, West African native AMÉMÉ channels his cultural roots and ancestry into
everything he does. Born and raised in Benin, AMÉMÉ (Hubert Sodogandji) helms One
Tribe, a global community and brand identity centred on unity and a positive outlook. His
visionary capabilities and unwavering dedication have been the catalyst behind the rapid
growth and proliferation of both his musical endeavours and One Tribe as a whole.
Specialising in Afro-leaning electronic music, with flourishes of tribal percussion and spiritual
vocals built upon a foundation of contemporary deep house and tech, AMÉMÉ’s DJ sets are
eclectic, energetic and nourishing for the soul. Releases on his One Tribe label found their
way to Black Coffee, who supported the music in Tulum back in 2019. With such an
influential figure backing his productions, it was inevitable that AMÉMÉ’s name would soon
be ringing in the ears of other key tastemakers. Over the past few years he’s been signed to
Watergate Records, Blond:Ish has released his music on her Abracadabra label and the
mighty MoBlack has also brought the West African wonder on board. Recently he was
drafted in to remix fellow African artist Omah Lay’s song ‘Understand’ for Sire Records
(Warner). AMÉMÉ was chosen in order to maintain the connection to the motherland,
injecting Omah’s original with unique influences from his own lineage. The remix breathes
new life into the song, while holding true to the energy of their nation.

Ben Böhmer (Live)
Ben Böhmer (Live)
German Electronic music's brightest rising star, 30-year old Berlin based producer and live act Ben Böhmer has had another monumental year. His sophomore album ‘Begin Again’, released on Anjunadeep in September 2021, has since attained over 40 million streams with remixes from the likes of HAAi, Barry Can't Swim and The Blaze.
The album was written entirely during a period where Ben and his fiancé were separated on other sides of the world due to the global travel ban. The emotions that this entailed are laden throughout its sonic textures and songwriting. ‘Begin Again’ seamlessly cascades from laidback and introspective instrumentals to searing and rich club music, with elevating features from Gordi, lau.ra, PBSR and JONAH that perfectly portray the longing and uncertainty that surround his love life at the time.
In support of the album Ben embarked on a 35k ticket headline tour at the start of 2022. All the dates were sold out months in advance and included marquee performances at the Roundhouse, London, The Fonda Theatre, LA and Brooklyn Steel in New York.
Prior to the album release Ben's surge in popularity was in part down to his involvement in one of the most talked about livestreams of the past 2 years. His Cercle performance set entirely from a hot air balloon 3k ft above the Turkish desert has quickly become one of their most successful streams, with over 20 million views, and resulted in Ben winning the AIM award for ‘Best Live Streamed Artist’.

‘Rave’, while ‘Get Stupid’ on his return to CLNE soared to #2 on Beatport within a week of its release to cap off the year.
2021 saw Cloonee coming out firing with yet another
Beatport #1, unveiling his now-iconic festival anthem ‘Sun Goes Down’ to a rapturous reception, before linking with
Spanish producer Wade for their fiery collaboration ‘Mi Amor’
- quickly amassing millions of plays (a number which
continues to bloom) as his profile surged worldwide. CLNE
follow-up ‘Love You Like That’ dropped in line with his ‘Love You Like That Summer US Tour’ - with the run of dates across venues such as Chicago’s Spybar and Denver’s Club
Vinyl alongside the legendary Brooklyn Mirage & Shrine
Auditorium LA as direct support to Chris Lake, and performances at key festivals such as CRSSD’s DAY MVS and Seismic Dance firmly placing him as a favourite Stateside. The tour sparked the start of something very special, with the UK
talent moving to LA, where he currently resides, and providing
the first glimpse of what was to come in his rise to being one of the most in-demand names on the US circuit.
2022 proved monumental in many ways, but it was once again Cloonee’s musical output that saw him shine, remixing
Chris Lake’s ‘Turn Off The Lights’ to open the year before linking with Lake for the eerie ‘Nightmares’ on Black Book Records. However, it was the introduction of his now
flourishing Hellbent Records imprint that saw the blossoming Brit take the spotlight, launching with the long-awaited release of ‘Tripasia’, another Beatport #1, before dropping the heavy- hitting ‘MOFO’ - a track which soundtracked a wealth summer of dates via his ‘Hotter Than Hell’ tour in Ibiza for Music On, ANTS, FISHER @ Hï and elrow alongside sets at
Club Space, Brooklyn Mirage and Day Trip Festival. Add to the mix appearances across Europe plus North & South America to close out the year, and 2023 is all set to become his
most significant 12 months yet... stay tuned.

Dombresky
Although he hails from the south of France, Dombresky’s penchant for invigorating
four-on-the-floor beats is pure house bliss. The DJ and producer burst onto the scene in
2016 when he arrived in Miami as Quentin Dombres, a then-unknown talent with an
impressive roster of funky, feel-good tracks. Today he has become inextricably linked
with industry heavyweights including Blondish, Armand van Helden, Diplo, Claptone,
and MK, all of whom supported Dombresky’s early career endeavors as collaborators.
With jazz-tinged, hypnotic songs like “Soul Sacrifice” earning over 50 million streams
and counting, and becoming one of Beatport’s top selling artists, it’s clear that
Dombresky has set himself apart from the rest. Just a few years after arriving in the
States and starting his career from scratch, Dombresky has hit career milestones that
most DJs only dream of, playing Lollapalooza, headlining Snowglobe and Countdown
NYE, selling out famous venues including the Shrine Auditorium and the Hollywood
Palladium, and growing a loyal fanbase that nets him millions of streams per month.
Now, Dombresky has gone global, playing sold-out venues across the country, to the
hottest clubs of Ibiza and Dubai, and he shows no signs of slowing down. In 2023 he is
slated to return to Coachella and continues to broadcast his passion project, Process

just stopping there. Expanding the Process name, Dombresky is thrilled to launch

Jessica Audiffred
Jessica Audiffred
Dubbed "one of the hardest players in the game" (by Festival Voice), in only a few short years (since her introduction to the US market), Jessica's North American resume already includes B2B showcases and tours with industry giants like Excision, sold out arenas with Riot Ten, monthly residencies across the country and rapturous dance floors slammed wall to wall in what Insomniac, Bassrush has likened to ."..dropped jaws and cracked skulls."
A talent whose sound has long outgrown Mexico City, the alpha metropolis of her upbringing and rise to prominence, Jessica has managed to establish her own niche style within the Bass and Trap genre's not only as a legitimate, sought after music producer but also as a captivating live performer, moving festival crowds at EDC, Lost Lands, Beyond Wonderland and Forbidden Kingdom year after year alongside world class acts and relevant talent.
Between neck breaking festival weapons appearing on Excisions new 'Subsidia' imprint and campaign defining music for Adidas (Latin America), collaborations with Walshy Fire (of 'Major Lazer' fame), Point Blank and many others, Jessica has been busy in the studio not only creatively but also as a music instructor who loves to share her studio secrets with her heavily engaged fan base.
In 2016, with great success Jessica introduced her 'A Records' imprint further expressing her concept and discernment for Electronic music. Skrillex & co.'s 'Nest HQ' celebrated her as a "Taste maker...soon to be a major staple in the global dance scene." 'Bassrush' and 'Your EDM' hailed her "the undisputed Queen of Mexico's Trap and Bass scene" and the 'DJ Times' referred to her as "a dominant force in Bass music."
Before even having stepped foot in North America, Jessica's heavy blog presence earned her the attention of industry titans such as Flux Pavilion, who in 2016 went as far as including her in his small list of top global acts for the 'DJmag' top 100 -- signing her to his label, 'Circus Recordings' and offering her the opportunity to remix his acclaimed release alongside NGHTMRE, "Feel Your Love." The following years saw Jessica's relationship with Circus Records UK grow, celebrating the labels 10 year anniversary with a tour and a carefully crafted debut album which is set to release in the first quarter of 2022. All while championing Mexico's first ever Bass-centric radio show 'Back to Bassics.'
'Run the Trap' and 'Audio Femme' bet on Jessica's future with no delay, as did 'Your EDM' who has listed her as one of the very few DJ's to watch year after year. Awarded the title of "#1 DJ in Mexico" by 'MDM' via a landslide vote, Jessica is 'Steppin' into the new year with all the energy of her bass drops, sneakers laced and 'Evil A's' at the ready and as 'EDM Manic' put it, the industry is expecting "nothing short of a revolution."

Madeon (DJ Set)
Madeon (DJ Set)
Hugo Leclercq, the Grammy-nominated musician known as Madeon, first appeared to many as something like a teenaged fireball. In 2011, his frantic yet perfectly sculptural "Pop Culture" famously sampled 39 hits, live, from Daft Punk to Solange, instantly propelling the then-17-year-old to the international stage. By the time of his debut album, Adventure, in 2015, Madeon was a globally beloved artist with production credits for Lady Gaga and Coldplay.
Yet his first full-length, released via Columbia and his own popcultur, still evokes a bright sense of wonder about the world. "I very purposefully stayed with my parents when I made Adventure because I wanted to capture my life as a teenager in France," he says. "Listening back, it's a good reminder that it always works out best when you're sincere. I wasn't pandering, I was just really trying to make what I loved." A FADER review called it "expansive, impossibly beautiful... one of the most radiant pop albums in recent memory." Soon after, he teamed with longtime friend Porter Robinson for "Shelter," an immersive, ecstatic single he calls their "victory lap."
Now, a few years later, Madeon is perhaps a more deeply seasoned artist than wide-eyed dreamer from Nantes, France -- but he's just as ambitious as ever. "I knew if I wanted to make something different, I needed to change my life around," he says, so he moved to Los Angeles to focus the project in a new way. "I wanted to wake up in the morning and feel like every second of my life was about Madeon. My walls are covered with concept art and logo designs and instruments and references and records that I love. It's all I do from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed."
Good Faith is this radiant new era. The songs from the album are the sort of pop songs that, by any other artist, would have required hard work from a team of writers and producers. Madeon, of course, wrote and produced them himself. Following the path he began on Adventure with songs like "Home," he is the sole lead vocalist on each of the new tracks. "I love to make that kind of music mostly on my own -- you're not really supposed to be able to make it that way," he says.
Madeon began working on first single "All My Friends" when he booked a studio for three days in New York "just to see what would happen," he says. "I remember I was walking alone, and the sun was a particular shade. It struck me all at once, vividly. It was like a flavor: sounds and sights and smells. I felt impossibly confident and enthusiastic, and the song became like a premonition of what I had to do."
Often, Madeon can seem as much a musician as a world-building architect, and there's no question his full vision for Good Faith is shining through in high definition, standing as a brilliant statement of new purpose.
Good Faith, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album, was released on November 15, 2019.

Pawsa
Pawsa
PAWSA is a name that has consistently emerged from the burgeoning house and techno scene in recent times. The London-based producer kickstarted his remarkable rise with a bonafide EP on the renowned Lost Records in 2014. The appropriately named ‘Pilot’, put a marker down both on Beatport and in the dance community which has provided the basis for further success more recently.
Picking up steam, PAWSA received the firm backing of industry stalwarts Green Velvet and Nicole Moudaber who both locked down EP’s from the innovative producer on Relief Records and Mood Records respectively. Further to that, he can also call upon the likes of Adam Beyer and Pan-Pot as staunch supporters. These early successes further cementing the feeling that PAWSA is a producer destined to make a lasting impact.
In 2015, PAWSA co-founded Solid Grooves Records alongside Michael Bibi and with the underlying motif of “let the music do the talking”, the label provided a firm base for PAWSA’s latest EP ‘Stage Two’. The sister company to the much vaunted Solid Grooves club night with regular happenings in London, Ibiza and Berlin, the label has been an important string to the bow of PAWSA.
PAWSA’s signature sound – inventive tech house with an old school vibe – is decisively made for the dance-floor. As a DJ he lays down carefully curated and atmospheric sets. The producer identifies with also being a DJ in the most natural, traditional sense: he makes music which he can play out and share with a crowd. PAWSA regularly performs at esteemed clubs around Europe and held a much talked about residency in Sankeys Ibiza throughout 2015.
Alongside all of this, PAWSA also turns his own magical and much loved ‘PAWSA’s Mixtape Series’ and some top weekly tips for producers and DJs alike via his ‘Groover Essentials’ series. PAWSA is one DJ who is letting quality records do all the talking and at the outset of 2015, few are coming close to his consistency and indisputable calibre of his productions. With plenty more planned for 2016 and beyond, PAWSA and his team have a lot in store to extend their impact on the musical landscape.

Weiss
Weiss is most innovative when he’s untethered from the conventions and trends of Dance Music production. Although he embodies the spirit of classic House Music forms like old school Jackin and 90’s era Chicago House, his underlying philosophy is quite simple - construct a beat that taps into the primal and speaks to the universal love of dance shared around the world. Growing up in the UK, Weiss accumulated a diverse range of musical tastes and influences, from Metallica to Motown and Phil Collins to Disco. An apprentice to Massive Attack’s Musical Engineer James Day early in his career, Weiss was able to draw from that deep well of inspiration and expert technical training to produce what would become a trove of instantly recognizable classics and unique, chunky, club rollers.
Weiss’ initial success as a producer was immediate and profound. His hit single “My Sister”, released in 2013, hit the top of the Beatport Charts and stayed there for four months. Assisted by a generous amount of support from BBC Radio 1, his sounds caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Annie Mac, Groove Armada, Green Velvet, Loco Dice, and Kenny Dope. After several years of successive hit radio singles like his 2016 “You’re Sunshine”, which premiered on Danny Howard’s BBC Radio 1 show and netted a spot at the top of the Beatport charts, Weiss’ profile continued to expand. It wasn’t long before his musical contributions and electrifying performances began to transform the modern House Music landscape.
Overwhelming support poured in from artists including Gorgon City, Eats Everything, Jax Jones, Duke Dumont, MK and Claude Vonstroke, and through a wildly successful career punctuated by remixes for Kylie Minogue, Robyn, Calvin Harris and Claptone, Weiss has found himself amongst House Music’s elite sharing stages with legends including Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden and Pete Tong. His 2018 single “Feel My Needs”, netted an immense amount of critical acclaim, earned the #1 spot on 5 international music charts, as well as a spot on the Radio 1 A-List and was voted DJ Magazine’s “Best of British Winner” for best single of 2018.
In 2019, WEISS signed a landmark record deal with Island Records in the UK and saw his collaboration “I Could Get Used To This” gain BPI Certified Status.
WEISS has circled the globe countless times to complete tours worldwide, in the latter part of 2019 he embarked on his biggest ever tours of North America and Oceania covering 30 dates across 7 weeks including performances at EDC in Mexico City, Electro Zoo in New York, All My Friends in Los Angeles, Harbour Life in Sydney, Petting Zoo in Melbourne and many more, ending the year at London’s coveted Brixton Academy on New Years Eve.
