Erick Orrosquieta, better known as Deorro, has been slowly building a legacy since he got his start back in 2012. The DJ and producer with a loyal “Panda Fam” following, has become one of the leaders of modern party music thanks to hit tracks like “Five More Hours” with Chris Brown and the Spanish-influenced “Bailar.” It doesn’t hurt that he’s also landed huge festival gigs across the globe and produced massive collaborations with top artists in the industry, including Diplo, Steve Aoki, and more. He’s even created his own record label, PandaFunk, an imprint focused on giving artists creative license to produce music with authenticity – something Deorro is quite familiar with.

For most, 4 years at a university results in a piece of paper, an appreciation for nice liquor, and a hard drive full of bullsh*t. For friends Andrew Fedyk & Joe Depace, they moved the tassel with much bigger things ahead than a 9-5 job; they were on the fast track to making a name for themselves in electronic music (aka the dream). The two make up the vivacious duo, Loud Luxury, and they are making glistening waves in the future bass genre. They’re sound is something between a subdued Vanic and a mild Louis The Child. It’s vibey, it’s chill, it’s always a melodic masterpiece.
