Elysium & AXM present The Sweatbox 2nd Anniversary November 18

Elysium Bar & Terrace and Art Xtreme Media celebrate the second anniversary of the Saturday weekly up in the Elysium Box on level 32 – The Sweatbox this NOVEMBER 18. This special 104th edition will feature a stellar line up on both Elysium's Terrace and Box.

The Terrace will be grooving to the beats of the talented DJ guest Miguel Bastida (Suara/ Deeperfect, ESP) alongside Sweatbox residents- Meliha and Obadius, plus the eclectic former resident Jonnyvicious.

The box will be hosting Saab (Radiant./Moon Harbour, CH) who makes his Asia debut by gracing our very decks at The Sweatbox, alongside Azran, Alam, Axel Groove and Sweatbox resident Otherkind.

Miguel Bastida’s career has been steadily rising since he started DJing at age 14 years old back in the late 1990s, at a local radio station in his hometown, Alhama de Granada.
Nowadays living in Barcelona, Miguel has become one of the most in-demand Spanish artistes worldwide, due to his versatility, great musical selection and charisma dominating the dancefloor.

Miguel’s influences initially came from bands as The Prodigy or The Chemical Brothers, and also from harder styles, like hard techno and breakbeats. Be it as groove creator, selector or supporter of new talents with his label, Miguel Bastida is a safe bet for any record label, festival or venue that seeks to tear up their dancefloors.

As DJ, Miguel Bastida belongs to the exclusive group of Spanish DJs that has had the chance of touring around the world, presenting his repertoire in almost every country in the planet, from Australia and New Zealand to electronic music strongholds as New York and Chicago. His name can also be found on the line-ups of the world’s best clubs and festivals, managing to convince even the most demanding dancefloors of the scene.

Self-taught and entrepreneur, Bastida’s projects ended up naturally in the creation of his own label, Be One Records, that he manages along with two of his childhood friends. Bastida is in charge of the A&R, while his buddies in Berlin and Granada manage design and social networks duties. Recently they created a sub-label, dedicated to support and give a chance to young and upcoming talents of the electronic music scene.

Be it as groove creator, selector or supporter of new talents with his label, Miguel Bastida is a safe bet for any record label, festival or venue that seeks to tear up their dancefloors.

Switzerland​ ​based,​ ​Kosovan​ ​born​ ​DJ/producer​ ​Sabb​ ​is​ ​an​ ​artiste​ ​whose​ ​presence and​ ​maturity​ ​in​ ​the​ ​studio​ ​seems​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​with​ ​every​ ​release​ ​to​ ​which​ ​he​ ​puts​ ​his name.​ ​His​ ​production​ ​pedigree​ ​was​ ​quickly​ ​identified​ ​by​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​scene’s​ ​most respected​ ​tastemakers,​ ​with​ ​early​ ​outings​ ​on​ ​Matthias​ ​Tanzmann’s​ ​Moon​ ​Harbour, Nic​ ​Fanculli’s​ ​Saved​ ​Records​ ​and​ ​Noir’s​ ​Noir​ ​Music​ ​preceding​ ​remixes​ ​for​ ​the​ ​likes of​ ​John​ ​Digweed,​ ​Sasha,​ ​Hot​ ​Since​ ​82​ ​and​ ​Hector​ ​Couto.

His​ ​signature​ ​sound​ ​–​ ​a​ ​fluid​ ​mix​ ​of​ ​crisp​ ​drum​ ​grooves,​ ​chunky,​ ​overheated basslines​ ​&​ ​pitched-down​ ​vocal​ ​sampling​ ​–​ ​has​ ​quickly​ ​won​ ​audiences​ ​over​ ​in their​ ​droves. By  ​2015​ ​and​ ​Sabb​ ​was​ ​ranked​ ​the​ ​second​ ​most​ ​charted​ ​artist on​ ​Resident​ ​Advisor,​ ​which​ ​immediately​ ​saw​ ​him​ ​tapped​ ​by​ ​Rumours​ ​boss​ ​Guy Gerber. By​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​2015,​ ​Sabb​ ​was​ ​ranked​ ​as​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​charted​ ​artistes​ ​of​ ​the year​ ​on​ ​Resident​ ​Advisor.

Having​ ​also​ ​played​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​world’s​ ​most​ ​iconic​ ​clubbing​ ​spaces;​ ​from​ ​Space​ ​in Miami, Pacha and Cielo in New York, Blue Marlin in Dubai and Hive in Zürich, not to mention​ ​a​ ​residency​ ​at​ ​Pacha​ ​Ibiza,​ ​Sabb’s​ ​stock​ ​as​ ​a​ ​DJ​ ​continues​ ​to​ ​rise indefinitely.
