Just returned from his successful tour in USA & Mexico and Asia, SantÉ released the co-produced albums of Monika Kruse & Turntable Rockers, who are gaining lots of attention and the next hot releases for labels as 8Bit, Noir & Kompakt are in the pipeline.

Last but not least, SantÉ just launched his own label “A Votre SantÉ” with big success. The first release “Re.You feat. Ahmad – Fever” is sold out already.

New York City became an artistic breeding ground and networking opportunity for Dani, which she utilized to full potential with repeat appearances at top NYC nightclubs like District 36, Pacha, Cielo and regular gigs at Sullivan Room, including an infamous blowout midnight-spot NYE show to bring in 2010. It was during this New York transition when Dani found her true voice and love for minimal tech house music… a sound that has been her musical forte and passion ever since. Since then, Dani has teamed up with fellow dj and close friend Keryn, together headlining events all across NJ and Philadelphia. Refusing to settle down, the two dazzling dj’s went on to establish Break Bookings, a female booking agency featuring some of the finest female talents in the tri-state area. Together they worked towards integrating female talent into the dj community, ensuring that each talent be provided the proper exposure, time slots, and partnership opportunities that every starving Diva in the industry not only deserves, but needs. This, combined with securing a monthly radio show on Di.fm, and special guest appearances on Frisky and Proton radio, led Dani Lehman’s name to buzz across the tri-state scene, quickly leading to yet even more success...

Known for her dark sexy groovy bass heavy beats, Dani Lehman is a DJ’s DJ who plays straight from the heart, riding with a personal sense of stylistic freedom that only compliments classiness to her vastly unique and sophisticated sound. The headphones tattooed on her neck say it all: Dani Lehman as a dj is not just a sound or a name… it’s a way of living Life.

Better late than never, Dj Ocaso got his start at the age of 23, years later than most others in the industry started out. He rediscovered his passion to play music while in college and finally bought his first set of CD decks and a mixer. Ocaso has constantly been a collector and an enthusiast of EDM as well as other genres of music, which are influential to him.

In the summer of 2010, Ocaso had earned a residency time slot on Pure.Fm internet radio, which he was a fan of thanks to a friend back in college. Pure.Fm enables Ocaso to reach out to a global audience with his monthly show while being in the company of many talented Djs and producers from around the world. In 2011, he was finally able to land a few bookings at some local nightlife spots through the help of other Djs who saw the potential in Ocaso. While many have doubted his decision to pursue Dj-ing, he has shown others what he is capable of doing by winning over their ears with his tasteful track selection and groovy beats. Humbled by the support he has and through the people he’s met along the way, Ocaso does it for the love of the music and holds a great hope for what seems to be a promising future.
