Sandy Rivera

Whichever way you look at it, you know who Sandy Rivera is. Whether it’s the words to Finally, the stunning production that infiltrates through each of his dance floor killers, or the untold mixes that have penetrated the dance charts for over 15 years..

Hailing from the music-fuelled streets of Brooklyn in earlier years, Sandy’s formative beginnings were consumed with a passion for the sounds assaulting his ears on a daily basis. Spanish funk, hip-hop beats, early electro and the burgeoning explosion of house captivated his attention and led him away from the sidewalk towards the dark and smoky halls of some of the world’s greatest clubs.

For most, it was Sandy’s modern day 2000 classic Finally as one half of Kings of Tomorrow that bought him to their attention. Featuring the vocals of Julie McKnight, the dialogue between a dead woman and God transformed through Sandy’s production into one of the most revered house tracks of all time. Licensed to a staggering 164 compilations (and counting…) it remains to this day at the top of many people’s ‘all time favourite’ lists.

It was seven years prior to Finally that a chance meeting with the legendary Burt Bacharrach led to Sandy’s foray into full time production. With funding from the man behind countless hit records of his own and an obvious eye for talent, Sandy set up Blackwiz Records and released tracks such as D’Menace, Fade II Black, Open Your Mind, My Love Is Real, Young Hearts and countless others in a prolific spurt of creativity. Come Into My Room, released on Sandy’s other imprint DEEPVISION spawned a new strand of electro disco-house sound, soon found to be infiltrating the works of everyone from EBTG (Tracey In My Room) to commercial big-hitters like Kylie Minogue.

Sandy’s solo work is equally as ferocious. Expansions, Class Is In Session, Changes, I Can’t Stop, Just Won’t Do, Lollipop, Freak, Deeper and more recently Persuasion, Escape and Dirty Sax have lit up airwaves and dance floors the world over. With three long-players under his belt – The Calling (1997), It’s In The Lifestyle (2000) and Trouble (2005) – his body of work shows the depth and scope of his ability to work across numerous genres, pulling in house, soul, R&B and chill-out.

Since the release of Trouble, Sandy has turned his hand to various compilations – including Ministry of Sound Sessions and Kings Of Tomorrow Defected ITH – and has a magnitude of production credits on tracks and mixes for the likes of Craig David, Moby, Fedde le Grand and Everything But The Girl.

Away from the plug-ins, knobs and other countless buttons that proliferate his mixing desk, it’s on the dance floor where Sandy reigns supreme. Playing to both the underground and the overground, demand for his timeless abilities has never been higher. His blend of uplifting house, chilled tech-beats, funked-up rhythms and the ability to drop down into the depths of grinding progressive house make him one of the most versatile and natural artists in the world.

With the second decade of the 21st century upon us, the name Sandy Rivera means more than just a collection of records – more than just ‘house’. It means a legendary sound split across different genres, breaking boundaries and making people listen. It’s the anticipation for what’s next, the wait for whatever tracks are just around the corner. He is without doubt the King of Tomorrow and the master of yesterday – he is Sandy Rivera.

Katana

DJ Katana begins to mix music in 1978, with which she becomes the first Mexican female DJ and with the longest female career.

Her talent has taken her to tour much of the Mexican Republic, as well as various media.

Katana is a faithful promoter of the dj culture on vinyl, although she manages the different platforms for djs and thinks that music has no age, which is why in her sets you can listen to both a track from 1975 and one made recently.

House, Disco, Nu Disco, Italo Disco, High Energy and more are his favorite genres.

Throughout her almost 44 years in the DJ world, she has alternated with national and international artists such as Claudja Barry, Gloria Gaynor, Paul Parker, The Flirts, Christine Wiltshire, Rofo, Savage, Jessica Williams, Cormac, Jenniffer Cardini, Zemmoa, etc.

She is currently a resident DJ, among others in concepts such as Disco Fetish, El Relámpago, Night of Memories and the beloved Patrick Miller club.

Kostrok

Since 2010, Kostrok has been making an impact on clubbing culture. From the creation of his own events, to continuous music releases on labels like Parlophone, Mushroom Pillow or TheBasementDiscos, touring around the world in spots like Space Ibiza, Sisyphos Berlin or Fabrik Madrid and shifting his base of inspiration between Valencia, Madrid, Berlin and currently in CDMX. In 2021, Kostrok entered live in the metaverse to communicate a whole new world through a small character, represented with big glasses and an intrinsic joy that perfectly represents his music: joy, a referential meta-journey halfway between house, disco, italodisco, breaks, electronica, sythnwave and above all, a lot of energy focused on the dancefloor.

Eva Mar

Eva Tinajero, also known by her stage name EVVA, stands as a skilled DJ hailing from Guadalajara. Her journey into the realm of music commenced at an early age, deeply influenced by her family's background in production and DJing, instilling in her a profound passion and an innate knack for music curation.

Launching her career within the vibrant Mexican music scene, captivating audiences across various bars and exclusive events. Venturing into the American market, particularly in Austin, securing her a prestigious residency at Native Hostel. This opportunity not only provided invaluable exposure but also served as a platform for her to expand her musical horizons. EVVA's artistry thrives on a fusion of downtempo beats and organic melodies, honing her signature style with precision and finesse. While she remains versatile, delving into a spectrum of genres, her heart finds solace in the rich textures and soulful vibes characteristic of her chosen soundscapes. Inspired by artists such as AVEM, Pshiuu, Riyoon, Nada, Arutani, and Bassara, EVVA has made her mark on a variety of stages, from iconic clubs in Guadalajara like Six and Jamaica Gogo, to prominent events like Horus Session and Off Studio. Her talent has also taken her to perform in Mexico City and beyond, solidifying her position as a figure in the contemporary electronic scene.
