Join the 'Twonkaholics' Anonymous Support Group This Fall With Brillz and Disco Donnie Presents
Brillz has been turning heads with his trap-laced blend of hip hop and dance music for a hot minute now, putting out releases on OWSLA, Mad Decent and Slow Roast Records. First introduced to dance music as a member of a dance crew called Liquid Pop Collective, when Brillz progressed into production and DJing, his liquid experience would become the foundation of the trap lord’s aesthetic.
Brillz’s career started gaining momentum after the release of his full-length artist album Twonk. Quickly separating himself from other newcomers, the album shot up iTunes’ dance music chart with a bass fury. “I think like a painter or a fashion designer,” Brillz says, “I wanted to created a body of work and I wanted to make an impact.”
If you’re not familiar with bass music’s rookie MVP, then you’re probably wondering what twonk is… “Twonk is a human weirdo and twonk team is the movement of the weirdos. Twonk is about creativity, it’s about individuality, it’s about being weird… it’s about self-expression.”
Making bodies move with tracks like his remix of “You” by Galantis and more recently his official remix of Katy Perry’s “This Is How we Do,” come rock out with your twonk out as Disco Donnie Presents brings Brillz’s Twonkaholics tour to a city near you.

DJ Snake to Headline Monster Block Party in Nashville
Taking over the 12th Ave Block Party Pavilion, the streets of Nashville are in for a rude awakening on Saturday, October 25th as Monster Block Party returns to haunt The Gulch. Disco Donnie Presents and Ultimo are excited to announce that DJ Snake will take us deep into the witching hour as he headlines the spookiest party this Halloween season.
Though he had already received a Grammy nomination as a producer for Lady Gaga on her past two albums, as a solo artist, DJ Snake first burst onto the scene in 2013 with his hit single “Turn Down for What.” The song has been played virtually everywhere, propelling the Frenchman to international success and reaching certified gold in February. With performances that range from bass-heavy trap and hip hop all the way to melodic house and garage, we won’t turn down a single thing once DJ Snake hits the decks for Monster Block Party.
