4/22 – Todd Terry @ Monarch’s Scarlet Room
Todd Terry is a Grammy nominated DJ and Producer who grew up in Brooklyn listening to European dance records from a young age. He felt connected to that sound and started to incorporate it into what he was already doing on the turntables. In the late 80’s Todd Terry was making a name for himself in Europe and England, and his reputation was reaching all the way back to the US. He’ll be taking us into the late night with his deep beats this Saturday.

4/23 – Bassjackers + Elephante @ Talking Stick Resort
Closing out the weekend on a high we have Bassjackers and Elephante at Talking Stick Resort. DJ, Marlon Flohr, and producer, Ralph van Hilst, who together form Bassjackers, are perfectly in sync as a duo. Their opposing personalities – Marlon being the wild one rocking each and every stage they play and Ralph the cool and collective one, preferring to shine behind the scene on the producer seat, are a perfect combination for this unique collaboration. Elephante, based out of Los Angeles, tends to produce pop-leaning vocal dance tracks, but he dips into slower, trap-inspired numbers as well. He started out creating remixes before producing original tracks and his first EP was released in 2013. He released his debut full-length album, I Am the Elephante last year. What better way to spend your Sunday Funday?
