Disco Donnie Presents joins Hardwell for Mexico tour!
Award-winning DJ, producer, musician, label manager and #6 ranked in the DJ Mag Top 100, Hardwell has certainly left a lasting impression on the dance music industry. The 25 year old heavyweight Robbert van de Corput hails from Breda, Netherlands like his mentor Tiësto. When he was just 13, Hardwell was signed to a major Dutch label, spinning at all the major clubs across the Netherlands.
Hardwell first caught international success in 2009 with his “Show Me Love vs. Be” bootleg, which was one of the most popular and played dance hits of the year. In 2011 his hit “Zero 76” with Tiësto topped the #1 Beatport and #1 US iTunes spot, laying the foundation to become the established veteran he is today. Now with respected label Revealed Recordings under his belt and radio show/podcast Hardwell On Air that is broadcasted on more than 25 international radio stations, it’s easy to see why Hardwell has created the ultimate recipe for big room house, utilizing complex drum layers, bold synth structures, and emotive chords.
With a current tour diary that spans all over Europe, Asia, and multiple shows in the United States, Disco Donnie Presents is excited to bring Hardwell and fellow Dutchman, producer and mash-up maestro Dannic south of the border as they gear up for a Mexico tour with dates in October and November.

Sun City Music Festival Sound Clash: Ookay, Scuba
Whether you’re a fan of the colloquial word showing approval, or perhaps, you have taken up deep sea diving, there is no denying the talent of Sun City Music Festival acts Ookay and Scuba. We think think that both groups of fans can agree — these guys always go hard, creating great journeys in their sets, even if their two sounds are completely different.
Scuba
Scuba, born Paul Rose, ironically has no certification in deep sea diving, but we won’t hold that against him. Since the Englishman founded his revered Hotflush imprint so early in his career, the label has played host to most of his releases throughout the years. Though his initial productions were primarily dark, spacious dubstep tracks, he developed a looser, funkier, and melodic approach to his sound, while simultaneously using his SCB alias for his house and techno releases. After his and the label’s name became a staple in the London scene, Scuba relocated to Berlin in 2007. His debut album A Mutual Antipathy released a year after his move, showcased the then unheard of marriage of techno and dubstep. His second album, Triangulation explored a wider range of styles, featuring not only dubstep and techno, but relaxed house and minimal drum and bass.
In his recent mixes for Ibiza Spotlight highlight, Scuba has shown the world, yet again, how he continuously evolves and remasters his sound. Scuba has undoubtedly become a key figure in the industry and has his finger on the current pulse of Europe’s music scene. Get your underground, or underwater, experience when Scuba takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival, going down on August 31st and September 1st. Tickets are available online, buy your tickets today!
Ookay
Ookay‘s musical background came at an early age. “I come from jazz and gospel music, I grew up as a little church boy. My dad was a bass player in the church band, and my mom sang in the choir, so I was always around that type of stuff. My dad gave me a lot of insight into that area. When I was younger I listened to a lot of death metal and soul music. I’ve done pretty much every kind of music, that’s why my music is so out there.”
Though he only has less than a year of creating music under his belt, Ookay was recently listed as one of Vibe Magazine‘s top rap/moombahton artist to watch in 2013. Already being associated with acts with other Sun City talents like Borgore and Flosstradamus, Ookay has gained mass popularity both on a personal and musical level. His first ever Beatport release with Ultra Records charted on the Electronica chart peaking at #10.
So what can you expect at an Ookay show? “Word around town is that there aren’t a lot of trap djs using straight CDjs so people are surprised that that’s all I use. I think it helps me connect with the crowd more and put on a show. I get rowdy on stage.” Lets get rowdy as Ookay takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival, going down on August 31st and September 1st. Tickets are available online, buy your tickets today!
