2 pm — DJ Mike Cruz (New York)
New York-based DJ/producer Mike Cruz is known internationally for his intoxicating blend of underground, steamy tribal-infused grooves, and rip-roaring vocal anthems. His fans also know to expect the unexpected — that’s the hallmark of a Cruz set: he blends the attitude of the crowd, the trends of the industry, and a keen intuition to concoct a listening experience that is matched only by his next performance. After 15 years of bringing his unique and infectious sound to parties in cities like Barcelona, Prague, Amsterdam, São Paolo, Tel Aviv, Sydney, Hong Kong and Mexico City, Cruz is now a household name in just about every major city in North America. He currently does rotations at Club 57 in New York, Rise in Boston, Tracks in Denver, The End Up in San Francisco, Atlanta’s Heritic and Miami’s Score.
8 pm — DJ Mark Anthony (Montréal)
For over 20 years now, Mark Anthony has been serving up his signature textured house beats, blending shake-it percussion, savvy special effects and a heaping helping of pure love. His spot-on eye for the hottest emerging sounds helped pioneer Montreal’s now world-famous house scene from the outset. True to himself and his vision, Mark has been instrumental in making house music and clubbing a unique experience, an art form, a means of expression. He may be recognized globally as a master of the turntables, but Mark’s career has also included turns as an accomplished music and event producer, always striving to breathe new life into nightlife.
