DJ to Watch: ANIMATE

Rising from the local Arizona scene over the last couple of years, house duo ANIMATE has brought the house scene to life at both the local and big festival stages across AZ. The boys are native to Gilbert, and have been uploading to their SoundCloud for about two years and have produced music for even longer. While they stay focused in the studio to create banger after banger, they still continue to stay relevant in the festival scene. Festivals like Phoenix Lights and Decadence Arizona have become familiar with ANIMATE, and the duo has also submitted established mixes for casting calls of out-of-state fests like Beyond Wonderland and EDC Las Vegas, the latter of which you can scope below. For this fire mix and for live show after live show that blows audiences away, ANIMATE is this week’s DJ to Watch.

ANIMATE’s already identifiable sound resonates as bouncy, fun, and substantially bassy. They’re here for a good time and a long time as is evident in their precise sound design and clever hooks and drops, qualities that pique the interest of both audiences and festivals looking to book the hottest new risers. If you hadn’t realized it already, ANIMATE will only continue to bloom from here on out.

ANIMATE will bring Dvina Modern Fare to life on March 7th for their first headlining show. Get your tickets here.
