With our expansive lineup for the 2013 edition of Sun City Music Festival just announced this past Tuesday, we decided to get a head start on learning about all of our talented artists before the anticipated event this labor day weekend. Kicking off the artist profile series is a talent that you, the fans specially requested, Deorro.

Los Angeles native Deorro is the perfect example of the word diligent. His DJ career began at the ripe age of 14, but it wasn’t until he was 17 that Deorro would begin producing his own tracks. A few years later, honing in on his craft, Deorro started uploading his music onto SoundCloud under the name Ton!c. It wouldn’t be long before he was considered a sensation on the musical platform either. Album’s Fire and Voodoo have garnered over one million downloads online. His music spread across the globe – so much so, that he sold out two shows in Australia.

By late 2011, “Ton!c” made one of the best moves of his career when he signed one of his most popular tracks “Big Fat” to BIP Records. As if his fanship wasn’t already vast, the single made its way up Beatport’s Top 20 electro house chart, making his fan base even bigger. “Big Fat” wasn’t the only single that made its way to Beatport’s chart. Tracks like “Bounce” on Mixmash Records, “Get Up” on Rock The Houze Records, and “Faster Horses” on Ultra Records have all seen high rankings on the famous music site.

Merging the two parts of his last name, Deorro is one of the fastest rising talents in the dance music industry releasing some top quality Dutch electro and progressive influenced bangers. But the styles that he is influenced by don’t stop there. Still high off of his Elevation EP out on Dim Mak, Deorro has seamlessly tied drumstep, house, dutch, trance, heavy electro, and even some moombahcore elements, creating a sound that is uniquely is own. You can catch the latin sensation and join the PandaFam when he comes to El Paso for the third annual Sun City Music Festival. Buy your tickets today!

In just four short years, Tritonal have become one of the world’s most dynamic and innovative acts to watch. Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed first formed the dynamic musical partnership in 2007 from opposite ends of the United States after meeting in a sound production forum online. After only a year of producing together, their release “Piercing Quiet” became a smash hit and listeners of A State of Trance radio show voted it ‘Best Track’ and the outfit has only sky-rocketed from there.

The boys have since launched their own record label, Air Up There Recordings, which has gone on to feature artists like Matt Lange and breakout artist, Mat Zo, and have also become resident DJs on Sirius XM’s Electric Area, hosting their popular radio show Air Up There, which is now syndicated on five continents. Known for utilizing songs with forward-movement, chatty snare breakdowns, teeth-clenching drops, and big-room strings, Tritonal live can described as a highly energetic and all-around, memorable experience. We can’t wait to see them on their Metamorphic tour.
