Featuring:
Del Fia & Cross(Complextro)
Hey everyone! We’re Del Fia and Cross; a producer/DJ duo from Guelph, Ontario! Ours is the classic ‘roommates turned producer duo’ tale. We both attended the same high school and became good friends through the music program. After we graduated in 2011, we both went on to attend the University of Guelph and are currently halfway through our 4th year. We became obsessed with electronic music in our first year and began producing after finishing our second year in 2013. Our biggest inspirations are Mord Fustang, Feed Me, OVERWERK, and Savant. (PS. We love Tech House)
Michael Faulkner(Melbourne Bounce)
An upcoming Progressive/ Big Room/ Melbourne Bounce DJ and producer from Mississauga, Ontario. Playing alongside artists such as Joel Fletcher, Vinai, Joe Ghost, OVERWERK, Shaun Frank, and Domeno! He started DJing at the age of 17. After 3 years of perfecting his mixing ability, Michael Faulkner has just recently started making his mark in the club and festival scene in the Toronto area. He has played at festivals such as Campstock Party Fest and Garden of Eden Music Festival. He has DJ’ed at many clubs around Toronto such as The Guvernment, The Hoxton, and Club 108 to name a few.
Paul Savage (Dirty Electro)
This UK-born, Toronto-based DJ and producer has been honing his craft for over 20 years. In that time, he’s developed a style all his own, creating live mixes and mashups on the fly to lay over his self-produced soundscapes. His sets range from Progressive House to Dirty Electro and all parts in between. Expect stunning hooks and twisted basslines to take you ’til the early morning hours. He keeps playing as long as you keep dancing, so brace yourselves for some Savagery!
DJ Shok(Hardstyle)
Busting on to the scene in early 2004 at various clubs around Toronto Originally spinning EBM (Electro Body Music) Shok soon expanded his musical repertoire to other electronic styles including Hard Trance and early Hardstyle. By 2007 he became a founding member of the cross-genre party RvM and began to delve further into the harder dance styles. Working with other DJs, Shok has organized and promoted many one-off parties and started the monthly F#CK YEAH party which featured various dance genera and showcased local DJ talent. Today Shok continues to be one of the promoters behind the re-launched RvM as well as the monthly Party Bass Nation and various semi-regular events like Dance Night ’95 and Mad Bass Heroes, in addition to working with other DJs and promoters and appearing at clubs and raves around the GTA.
Adam Kendrickbetter known as DJ Damo has been perfecting his craft for the past decade. He is known for his ultra high energy behind the decks, versatility and insatiable appetite for mix perfection. Damo’s creativity shines in his live performances by always finding new and exciting ways to enhance his sets as well as stage presence. In 2009, Damo and fellow DJ’s launched Hardstyle Toronto. Earlier this year Damo was signed to Embrace and Evolve Entertainment. They soon started booking major headliners from Europe with Damo warming up the crowd. He has opened for some of the hottest names in the hard dance scene such as D-Block & S-Te-Fan, Brennan Heart, DJ Isaac, and Headhunterz. Quoted by Bunk in the Trunk event photography “Damo’s opening set for Headhunterz was “this” close to stealing the show from the main man himself”. Words he lives by when preparing for any coming gig.”
