4/28 – Adventure Club + Focus Fire @ Rialto Theatre

Adventure Club, made up of Christian Srigley and Leighton James, hail from Montreal, Quebec, and have been performing music together since their high school days. They started as a hardcore pop-punk band, which is evident in many of their songs, like their early “Do I See Color.” As they shifted into EDM, the duo began remixing popular pop-punk songs, like Brand New’s “Daisy,” showing how the two genres can blend together somewhat seamlessly. Adventure Club’s evolution over the years has demonstrated versatility and uniqueness. Joining them is Focus Fire, a dynamic EDM duo made up of Mark Barton from Scotland and Christian Ellison, from right here in Phoenix. Not only are they local, but they’re eclectic too – Focus Fire produces everything ranging from vibey, feel-good tunes to hardcore, dubstep bangers, ensuring every fan’s tastes are fulfilled, no matter how unique.

4/28 – Dr. Fresch & SNBRN – Wet Electric Afterparty @ Monarch Theatre

Dr. Fresch is a Los Angeles based producer dealing your prescriptions in the form of bouncy, bass-ridden beats. In 2007, Fresch started getting into dance music, listening to the likes of  Justice, Daft Punk, and MSTRKRFT. In 2012, Tony launched the Dr. Fresch brand with remixes on Dim Mak Records, Big Mamas House Records, and Prep School Recordings. After securing a position as a resident DJ for Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records in 2013, he won Insomniac’s Discovery Project Contest and was chosen to perform at Nocturnal Wonderland. Since then he has gone on to play some of the biggest festivals in the world, furthering his reputation for deep, dirty, ghetto house beats.

SNBRN, known formally as Kevin Andrew Chapman, started making music at age 12. In May of 2014, he released several remixes and covers under the name SNBRN. Several of his songs became chart-topping hits on HypeMachine and accumulated millions of plays on SoundCloud and YouTube, gaining him some huge recognition. You may have first discovered him from his hit “Raindrops” or his remix of 50 Cent’s “21 Questions,” and if you do, you know his music is tropical, bouncy and oh so catchy. It’s often referred to as “sunset house” because of its ultra-relaxing vibe.

4/29 – Walker & Royce @ Shady Park

Dynamic duo Walker & Royce, otherwise known as Sam and Gavin, started producing their groovy deep house music back in 2011 on the unforgiving streets of Brooklyn.

With one listen you’ll be dancing the night away to their vibey house beats, begging them, “Take Me To Your Leader.” Since this genre is so saturated with a never-ending list of new talent, it takes a skilled producer to stand out and Walker and Royce and climbed the ranks and proven themselves to be artists on the road to stardom. Their tracks are good for the body and soul.
