DECEMBER 21: DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs Party ft Damien N-Drix at Velvet Underground
Hailing from the South of beautiful France, Damien N-Drix conjures his appreciation for the finer things with expert ease. Building up a dense catalogue since 2015, the Marseilles-based producer picked up the pace this past year, honing in on a funky house sound that holds its weight as much in the electro sphere as it does in deeper dwellings. His discography reveals a formidable range of productions – from remixes of Tujamo "One On One" and Jacob Plant’s ‘Reflections’ to originals like ‘Do It’, ‘Ghetto Funk’, "Scratch" "Stacks" respectively signed on labels such as Dim Mak (Steve Aoki), Hysteria (Bingo Players) Guru (Gregori Klosman), Mutants (John Dalhback), Megaton, Vicious...
and the Beatport Top 1 electro hit: Let It Ring on Spinnin Records. On top of an enviable short game, Damien N- Drix is curating his own DMSN project , a selection of the best exclusives and bonus tracks from his studio each month .With huge support s from David Guetta, DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, Tchami, Robin Schulz, Calvin Harris, Dillon Francis, Kungs to name a few, Damien N-Drix continues to gain traction and stretch his sound to clubs and festivals across the globe (Croatia, Spain, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Italy, England, Morocco, France...). The night will be supported by Ken Fung, Mizz Kiya and Killnic.

DECEMBER 21: JungleBird Fridays with Mutual Collective
Whilst living in Bali, Tristan submerged himself into the deep depths of underground music. Whether it would be House or Hip Hop, he always found himself halfway through the night wondering how he ended up in the grimiest spots in town. In turn, he fell in love with anything and everything that wasn’t playing on HitzFM. He became enlightened.
Now Tristan is a house addict, he literally has an anxiety attack and needs to take 8 valiums whenever Bruno Mars gets played. He started actively DJing throughout 2016 to gain inspiration from a collective of genres and artists.
