Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Borgore
Hailing from Israel via London, Asaf Borger, better known as dubstep mastadone Borgore, has been intdustry’s “ruiner of dubstep” and bass music’s l’enfant terrible since early 2009. As a trained producer and drummer, 25-year old Borgore has always had a leg up on the competition. Though he produces both solo and as a duo as a part of the dubstep duo Alphamale Primates, with bass-maven Tomba, earlier in his career, he used to play drums in the death metal band Shabira.
Early tracks like “Guided Relaxtion Dub” and “Icecream” were underground successes and helped catapult him to the world-renowned fame where he’s currently riding high in. As a lyricist, he creates memorable, catchy, and sometimes questionable lines, creating a unique sound that blends perfectly into his instrumental tracks and makes for a very entertaining sing-a-long. As a producer he creates dubstep and more, calling his sound “Gorestep” and incorporating triplet drum patterns and heavy metal influences setting him apart from the rest of his peers. Perhaps our favorite example of this is his recent banger “Decisions” released last year on Buygore Records with backup vocals provided by Miley Cyrus. Known for his forward-thinking and interactive live shows that have turned him into one of dance music’s most popularly controversial entertainers, expect nothing less than a bass-in-your-face energy filled set when Borgore takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival.

Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: French Fries
Uruguay born Valentino Canzani Mora, grew up in southern Paris listening to the sounds of West-Coast Hip-Hop and Southern Crunk blaring through his headphones. So when it came time to chose a DJ name, he chose a beloved US food, French Fries. With his father being a sound-engineer and producer of Latin music, by the age of 10, French Fries was already making rap beats in his dad’s studio. It wasn’t until he was 14 that he would start DJing.
French Fries recalls, “…this guy, Ministre X – Tchiky Al Dente, use to date my sister years ago, and he’s a DJ. And I was like ‘Eh, DJ. That looks so cool!’ I was like ‘Can you teach me [how to] scratch and stuff?’ And I just went to his club, Favela Chique and he taught me how to play. I stayed there for basically two years — had a residency.” French Fries immediately received bookings playing everything from Brazillian Baile Funk to hip-hop. During this time, he began to take an interest in house music production, developing that signature ghetto sound he is known for today.
French Fries has been called “a name at the forefront of the ‘nouvel scene’ of bass-orientated beats sweeping through the clubbing world.” In 2011, his debut Champagne/Hugz EP on his own imprint ClekClekBoom, charted in Beatport’s Top 10 and sold out on vinyl almost as soon as it had been released. His track “Yo Vogue,” co-released with the Bay Area’s dirtybird label in 2012 is one of his most successful releases to date, featuring an equally popular remix by another label boss, Claude Vonstroke.
We’re hoping to see some vogue-ing on the dance floor when French Fries makes his way to Sun City Music Festival this coming Labor Day weekend. Have you bought your tickets yet?
Das Energi Festival Artist Profile: Hardwell
The largest dance music event to ever hit Utah, Das Energi Festival, is back for a second time at the Great Saltair. Join us for the “The Current That Connects Us,” as we gather for a full spectrum of dance music set to cutting-edge production. Have you bought your tickets yet? One of the acts headlining our journey is internationally known producing DJ, Hardwell.
Robbert van de Corput hails from Breda, a city in the Netherlands that fellow Dutchman Tiësto also calls home. Hardwell was signed to a major Dutch label at the age of 13. Shortly after being signed, Hardwell had the privilege to spin at all the major clubs across the Netherlands. Hardwell’s international breakthrough success however, first came from his “Show Me Love VS Be” bootleg which became one of the most played dance tracks of 2009.
That was just the beginning though. In 2010 he formed his own label Revealed Recordings which allowed him to release versatile tracks whether they be progressive, tech house, techno or electro influenced. In the same year, Hardwell launched his much celebrated compilation series Hardwell Presents Revealed, which gives listeners a good dose of imprint’s stance on the trends currently driving dance music.
Solo, Hardwell’s sound has been described by its complex and rhythmic drum layers, punchy synths, and melodic chords all creating the perfect mixture for his signature Big Room house style. Early tracks like “Encoded” and “Zero 76” both hit the #1 Beatport and #1 US iTunes spots, establishing him as a new heavyweight contender. Further cementing himself in the top ranks of talent, Hardwell launched his own radio show and podcast in 2011, Hardwell On Air, which is now broadcasted on over 25 international radio stations. Moreover, the podcast is a mainstay in the iTunes’ Top 10 Podcasts in more than 30 countries.
With a jump from #24 to #6 DJ on DJ Mag’s Top 100, you can currently find Hardwell touring around the world, still high off the success of his hit song with Amba Shepherd,”Apollo.” We’re sure you’ll hear it when Hardwell takes the stage August 17th for the second annual Das Energi Festival.
