Isla Del Sol Fest Artist Profile: Quintino

We’re counting down the days until Quintino takes the stage for Isla Del Sol Fest this coming this Labor Day weekend August 31st and September 1st. Secure your spot on the dancefloor with an island breeze on the island buy your tickets today! Tickets are available online and at Hermes Music Stores in McAllen and Brownsville.

Having grown up in a musical family in Den Helder, Netherlands, Quintino, born Quinten van den Berg, was blessed to have had a broad musical influence from the outset. There was never a limit to certain genres – the ability to listen and learn from the widest array of styles and artists was infinite. So when it came time to figure out what he wanted to do for a career, the choice was easy. Quintino began DJing in his father’s club when he was only 15. Working as a DJ on the weekends while completing his schooling, Quintino balanced this for year, as he was hooked to the profession.

During a gig when he was 18, house heavyweight Laidback Luke took note and was very impressed by Quintino’s ability behind the decks. So much so, that Laidback Luke decided to take the budding artist under his wing. Quintino quit his day job in sales to fully concentrate on music production. With help from his mentor Laidback Luke, Quintino went on to release early successful hits like “Girls,” “Booker” and “Supersonic.” Though the releases garnered some attention from many in the industry, it wouldn’t be until he remixed Cidinho & Doca’s track “Rap Das Armas” in 2009 that Quintino would begin his ascent to international success. The song, though originally a bootleg, was later released on Spinnin Records reaching the #1 spot on the Dutch charts. Soon after that release, Quintino went on to produce another banger titled “Heaven,” a collaboration with Mitch Crown. The Track was deemed a “Dance Smash” on the popular station Radio 538 and later climbed the Dutch Top 40 charts.

Currently, Quintino’s tour diary that reads like a departures board at an airport, playing shows in Spain, the Netherlands, and across America. We are excited to have Quintino join us at the second annual Isla Del Sol Fest at the newly renovated Clayton’s Resort on South Padre Island. Buy your tickets today!

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.

Disco Donnie Presents is 'Getting Wet' with Krewella on tour!

Self-made trio Krewella are undeniably one of the hottest acts out right now. From their early beginnings at underground raves in the warehouses of Chicago, sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf and producer Kris “Rain Man” Trindl first burst onto the scene in 2011. Though they garnered a substantial following for their unique blend of electro house, dubstep, and lyrics, it would skyrocket after they self-released their critically acclaimed Play Hard EP in the summer of 2012. The extended player hit #1 on the Beatport charts and the single “Alive” went to #1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio Airplay.

And although it hasn’t even been a year since the success of that release, Krewella has gone on to headline and sell out shows and festivals around the world and also won the IDMA for “Best Breakthrough Artist.” Even Billboard said, “Krewella will be huge this year.”

As the trio prepares to release their first full-length album Get Wet on Columbia Records in September, we are excited to be a part of the Krewlife as Disco Donnie Presents will be bringing Krewella’s Get Wet Live Tour to a city near you. Adding support to the impending fall tour are fresh talents Seven Lions and Candyland.

Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Scuba

Paul Rose’s output as Scuba has been classified under many styles. Getting an early jumpstart, Scuba has submersed himself (no pun intended) in all aspects of music. “I played in bands from quite a young age. I played guitar and keyboards and various other things. I was quite into guitar-playing, but I always more into writing music than playing it, from quite early on…So I did the band thing for a while, had some bad band experiences, as lots of people have, and I guess I gradually got into electronic music by the typical route really — started going out and going to clubs and gradually got into the music as well as the going out part of it.” DJ, producer and promoter, Scuba sunk his teeth into jungle and techno in London, and eventually became involved with local pirate radio and participated in some of the city’s biggest club nights.

Having founded the Hotflush imprint early in his career, the label has been home to most of his releases. Though his initial productions were primarily dark, spacious dubstep tracks, but he developed a looser, funkier, and melodic approach to his sound, while simultaneously using his SCB alias for his house and techno releases. After cementing his and the label’s name 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.

Currently, you can find Scuba holding down a number of gigs all around the world. His recent mixes for Ibizia Spotlight highlight just how well Scuba has continuously evolved and remastered his sound. With a knack to take any dance floor on a uniquely innovative journey, Scuba has undeniably become a key figure for the current pulse of Europe’s music trends. We’re sure you’ll get a truly one-of-a-kind experience when Scuba takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival, going down on August 31st and September 1st.

Sun City Music Festival Sound Clash: Brodinski, Markus Schulz

Whether you’re a fan of the act of slaying unicorns, or maybe you just long to have a budding bromance, there is no denying the talent of Sun City Music Festival acts Brodinski and Markus Schulz. We think think that both groups of fans can agree – these guys always go hard in their sets, even if their sound is completely different.

Brodinski

This Frenchman has been on a roll ever since his first release in 2007. Fans were immediately drawn to his well-executed fusion of house, techno, electro progressive and hip-hop. Sometimes, his tracks are impossible to define by genre, which makes his sound all the more intriguing. With his imprint Bromance Records just shy of hitting the two year mark, Brodinski has given his friends a platform to release their innovative and punchy sounds, taking in elements from a wide spectrum of electronic music. Early releases from the label like “Let The Beat Control Your Body” and “Nobody Rules These Streets” with labelmate LOUISAHHH!!! were stand out hits and championed by eclectic acts like Chuckie, Porter Robinson, A-Trak, Style of Eye, and Sun City talents Danny Avila and Gesaffelstein.

Whenever Brodinski takes the stage you can expect crazy jaw-dropping twists, cheer-inducing drops, some ridiculous breakbeat or trap fills, but most importantly, you can expect to have a lot of fun. Get ready to join the party, because Brodinski will be throwing a lot of curveballs your way when he performs at this year’s Sun City Music Festival coming to Ascarate Park August 31 and September 1st. Grab your tickets today!

Markus Schulz

As a man of many tastes and talents, Markus Schulz has never stuck with one sound. For the past decade, Markus has crafted and honed in on his style with multiple music identities. As Dakota, Markus has streamlined his tech and progressive house side. As New World Punx, a duo with other dance music legend Ferry Corsten, Markus gets to let out his high-energy trance side. But whether his music ranges through the melodic progressive styles, percussion driven house, or the driving trance platform, one thing’s for certain, and that is his ability to control and astonish any crowd. Especially with his legendary marathon sets.

Fans of Markus have cheekily coined him the “unicorn slayer” referring to his signature hard-driving productions. “By ‘unicorn,’ people mean tracks with really fluffy melodies,” Markus says. “I don’t do this; I’m more into square waves and pitch bends.” You can catch the slayer Labor Day Weekend when he takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival.

Disco Donnie Presents gets a "Moment of Clarity" with Zedd

German prodigy Zedd has had an undeniably amazing 2013. And the best part is, he’s still got halfway to go. With much talked about performances on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, it’s easy to see why he has been named an MTV Artist to Watch and has been called “the breakout DJ star of 2013” by Billboard. “Clarity,” the title track from Zedd’s debut album, features Foxes and has already been certified gold and still continues to climb charts months after its release.

Still riding high on that success, the wunderkind has announced that he is embarking on a world tour. Moment of Clarity will feature 26 stops scheduled between August 28 and October 3 of this year, with final dates still yet to be set in stone.

Zedd says, “For the past six months, I’ve been working on a light and visual show for my tour. We’ve built tons special content and improved the production day by day, step by step. With the Moment of Clarity World Tour, I want to capture this moment and present it to my fans around the world!”

Joining him on this adventure are talents Oliver and Alex Metric. We’re excited to bring Zedd’s Moment of Clarity tour to a city near you.
