6/9 – Maximono @ BFF Bar Smith

MAXIMONO, comprised of Sebastian “Sebi” Wolters and Nick Hillthe, are a British-German duo that’s been coming up in the house scene over the last few years. The boys met in 2008, both as former drum & bass producers, but it wasn’t until 2013 that they joined forces in the studio to bring their varied influences to house beats. They recently released a groovy two-track EP, Non Sense, on Dirtybird and they’re taking the accompanying tour from city to city–next up, Phoenix!

He has a career that spans two decades and has taken him around the globe. He made his debut in 1995 and since then he’s had over 100 releases. Add a who’s who list of collaborators, remixes, credits ranging from Daft Punk, Green Velvet and Depeche Mode to Robin Thicke, Madonna and Mariah Carey and a side gig in professional Kung Fu and there is no rarer breed of superstar DJ than Laidback Luke. Just a couple weeks ago he released a fiery new single “With Me” that you can without a doubt catch him playing when he stops by Talking Stick Resort.

6/10 – Autograf @ Shady Park

Hailing from Chicago is a trio named Autograf, known for their unique craft of peaceful yet energizing future house that sounds like sun-kissed bass music. Formed by Jake Carpenter, a sculptor, Louis Kha, a painter who worked as a welder in a fabrication factory, and Mikul Wing, a street artist, Autograf’s sounds are truly one of a kind and so obviously rooted in their artistic background.

6/10 – Kennedy Jones + Sullivan King + Whipped Cream @ Monarch Theatre

Born and raised on the Sunny shores of Southern California, Kennedy Jones has spent most of his life surrounded by bass music. He started off acting as half of a collaborative dubstep project, including a track signed to Ultra Records. Jones blends sounds of trap, hardstyle, and dub resulting in a one of a kind brand and some of his most notable tracks include his remix of Elvis Crespo’s “Suavemente,” and Katy Perry’s “Roar.”

Sullivan King has given heavy music a whole new definition by combining electronic elements with his fast-paced, heavy guitar sounds. Really, this guy gives lovers of metal and bass a whole new arrangement of music to dive into. For instance, you may know him for his hard-hitting collab with Riot Ten on “Fuck It” or with Jauz on “Pure Evil.” He even teams up with Whyel as they take a risk by remixing Metallica’s “Hardwired.” Every track he’s on, he displays his impressive skills on the guitar and adds a distinct touch to each track.
