The weekend is here! Pass out the cold drinks among friends and whatever you do, don’t think about work or school. Monday, December 30th will definitely hold the same M.O., as Hidalgo’s premier holiday event, Winter Fantasy featuring deadmau5 (unhooked) returns to the Rio Grande Valley area at the State Farm Arena (outdoors).

Though we won’t get down at Winter Fantasy for another few weeks, that doesn’t mean our weekends will remain idle. As we blaze through November and December, we’ll be bringing you three mixes every week from an artist on our roster to help get you pumped for the upcoming event.

This week’s weekend warrior is our eclectic talent Nom De Strip. Currently touring with Mat Zo on the Damage Control World tour, Nom de Strip is known for his vivacious house sets ranging in the grittiest of electro to the trippiest of techno and everything in between. These three sets will give you an idea of the frenzy Nom brings to his sets.

Tickets are flying off the shelves so be sure to grab yours before it’s too late.

BBC Radio One: Diplo and Friends Mix

This past September 15th, Chris Lake’s imprint Rising Music took over the Diplo and Friends show with a special group of mixes. Chris Lake and TJR provided their talents and Nom De Strip knocked out one hour-long mix for the episode. We love that Nom put his stamp on every track on this playlist. Our bet is that his performances for Winter Fantasy will be the same.

Live at Control for Control Radio Episode 036

Control Radio is hosted and produced each week on Evolution and iHeartRadio by residents DJ Sam Hiller and Control founder Ryan Jasoe. A few weeks ago, Nom De Strip performed at the popular Los Angeles club Control. Thankfully, the record button was on because this particular mix is on fire. We nearly lost is when the mashup of Nom’s “Techno Saturday” and Breach’s “Jack” came on
