Nora En Pure

Globally renowned and adored for her cinematic soundscapes and ethereal performances, South African-born, Swiss-based Queen of deep house, Nora En Pure, has spent the last few years working relentlessly to reach the pinnacle of the dance music scene. Proving her eminence with every performance, playing stand out shows at the likes of Coachella, Burning Man, Tomorrowland and Panorama NYC, Daniela Di Lillo is a true force with an indomitable work ethic and an eye for immaculate detail.

2009 saw the beginnings of her musical career, releasing her debut productions via the Enormous Tunes and Tokenish imprints, as a core member of Zürich’s Helvetic Nerds group. In 2013, her breakthrough track, ‘Come With Me’, catapulted her into the spotlight, garnering extensive support from industry greats. Gracing the airwaves with countless fan favourites, including ‘Morning Dew’, ‘Lake Arrowhead’, ‘Tears In Your Eyes’, ‘We Found Love’ and ‘Birthright’, Nora En Pure’s impressive production output led her to create official remixes for industry icons Faithless, Above & Beyond, Eelke Kleijn and Sofi Tukker. Her 2016 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix helped solidify her reputation and showcase her distinctive sound. Securing residencies in iconic locations, including Wynn Las Vegas and Privilege Ibiza, her fan base spans the globe, reaching over 2.6 million listeners on Spotify per month.

Seamlessly connecting disparate sounds and styles, Nora En Pure’s name has become synonymous with organic instruments, emotive piano leads and enchanting melodies. Nurturing her Purified brand with expert precision, Purified Radio blossomed into a weekly show, premiering every Saturday evening on SiriusXM Chill with an hour-long dose of the finest deep, melodic and tech house music. Curating lineups and hosting sold-out Purified events in Miami, New York, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Zürich, Prague, Montréal, London and Washington, DC, Purified has welcomed the likes of Pete Tong, Gorgon City, Kidnap, Moonwalk, Eelke Kleijn, Sonny Fodera and Cassian behind the decks. Launching Purified Records in November 2019, the imprint works hand in hand with the events label, releasing music from revered producers such as Eli Brown and Moonwalk, as well as hotly-tipped talent that also work their magic in Purified events around the world.  

Celebrating her 200th episode of Purified Radio in June 2020, Nora En Pure treated fans to a spectacular extended set, filmed in the Swiss mountains of Gstaad. Perfectly pairing the soundtrack to the majestic landscape, the set has amassed almost 6 million streams on YouTube alone. Winning the award for Best Female Artist (House) in the IDMA Awards in 2019 and 2020, and receiving a nomination for Best Podcast/Radio Show for Purified 2019, she entered the DJ Mag Top 100 in 2020 at #73, and #10 in the DJ Mag Alternative Charts powered by Beatport. Keeping momentum high in 2021, she climbed to #59 in the DJ Mag Main Chart and maintained her position at #10 in the Alternative Charts.

With the return to live events in 2021, Nora En Pure reconnected with fans near and far, and hosted sold-out Purified shows at New York’s Brooklyn Mirage and Echostage in Washington, DC. Putting her passion for wildlife into action, Daniela announced her long-term partnership with leading Ocean Conservation Non-profit Organisation through the release of her nature-infused track ‘Aquatic’. With a steady stream of original gems including ‘Thermal’, ‘Oblivion’, ‘Won’t Leave Your Side’, ‘Life On Hold’, ‘Tantrum’, ‘Luscious Rain’, she also delivered an official remix of Swedish pop sensation Tove Lo’s smash hit ‘Cool Girl’. Entering 2022 in emphatic fashion, she delivered two official remixes of Claptone & Dizzy’s ‘Queen Of Ice’, as well as her club-ready original ‘Reminiscing’. Working tirelessly on her label, radio show and own releases, this critically acclaimed artist continues to soar further into a league of her own.

Spencer Brown

Spencer Brown continues to lead the next generation of dance music elite. His DJ sets put him in a lineage with the greats before him, and his original productions spotlight where electronic music is headed next. Prizing craft over spectacle, he is recognized by legends and peers for his floor-filling productions and hypnotic crowd command. Whether he’s whipping up a peak-time festival slot or a nine-hour marathon set, no two Spencer Brown parties are ever the same.

As a producer, Spencer’s mastery of groove and melody allows him to blend sounds and thrive across genres. In addition to constant output on his own label, diviine, he’s released recent major singles on labels as varied as Anjunadeep, Bedrock, and Higher Ground. His tracks are played regularly by the world’s top DJs, including Solomun, deadmau5, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Keinemusik, Dubfire, Fisher, Carlita, Carl Cox, Mochakk, and Patrice Bäumel.

As a DJ, Spencer has reached a point of total dance floor control. After nearly 20 years of playing live, he can read any crowd and stir up madness on the fly. Recent conquests include career-defining headline shows in the UK, Albania, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina. His North American following is deeper than ever, with sold-out sets from San Francisco to New York, Miami to Vancouver, and Houston to Calgary. Nearest to his heart is his multishow residency at Stereo Montreal, where he plays 9+ hour marathons in the steps of his inspirations.

Spencer began DJing at the age of 12, when his dislike of the music at school parties convinced him to produce his own. His first break came when Avicii signed him to LE7ELS for his Chalice EP in 2014. Spencer made his live debut opening for Avicii at the Hollywood Bowl the same year, which led to an opening slot on the North American leg of the True Tour. After graduating from Duke University in 2016, Spencer picked up pace with global tours supporting Above & Beyond and releases with deadmau5.

Spencer released his debut studio album, Illusion of Perfection, in 2018. Inspired by his distaste for radio edits, he presented the LP as one continuous mix. His second mix-format LP, Stream of Consciousness, followed in January 2020. This volume included collaborations from Ben Böhmer, Marsh, and Qrion. Both albums went number one on the iTunes Dance charts and led to international headline tours. 2023 saw the release of his third album, Equanimity, which led to 80 headlining shows worldwide.

More recent show highlights include Echostage with Eric Prydz, Green Valley with Black Coffee, Big Night Live with deadmau5, and Studio 338 with John Digweed, in addition to B2B sets with testpilot and Eli & Fur, and a seminal co-headline US club tour with Cristoph in the fall of 2023. 2024 saw the unveiling of his Signature Series of open-to-close shows, where his unique ability to blend sounds and keep crowds swirling was met with rapturous reviews.

As he continues to deepen his powers, Spencer floats above modern-day micro genres and puts his gratitude at the fore. As he said after his latest Stereo all-night marathon, “Love is left when there is nowhere to hide.”

Sara Sukkha

Discovered through an all-female DJ-battle in 2016, Sara Sukkha quickly climbed the ranks of Western Canada’s electronic music scene. With previous residencies in Vancouver and Calgary, she has since supported the hottest names in entertainment including The Chainsmokers, Rezz, Sofi Tukker, Chris Lake & more. Since moving into production in 2018, her vocals can now be heard across several slices of the industry with releases on DFTD, Monta, Mau5trap, and Tomorrowland Records, garnering attention and support from industry heavyweights such as Diplo, Tiesto, David Guetta, and more.

Growing up playing the flute, singing, and performing in marching band, Sara’s musical instincts date back to her youngest years. While living in the UK at a later time, she was heavily influenced by the underground sounds of Drum & Bass, Grime, and Dubstep. Since this first introduction to electronic music, she has refused to settle for any one sound in the spectrum. 

Chat with any member of Western Canada’s scene and you will quickly learn that limits and comfort zones are words that cease to exist in Sara’s dictionary. Today, her extensive music library spans from delicate deep house to drum and bass, ensuring she’s equally prepped for a B2B with Nora En Pure, Alix Perez, or Adam Beyer at any moment. With such a thirst for variety and reputation for unexpectedly surprising her crowds, defining a typical Sara Sukkha set can be an impossible task. Yet, three things remain constant in her performances — her gradual storylines, her infusion of different influences, and her gravitation towards the darker, underground sides of all genres she chooses to play.

With a positive attitude, relentless dedication to perfecting her art and a hands-on approach in managing her own brand, Sara’s future is looking bright with many more milestones to conquer. Next, she is excited to continue to incorporate her voice and folk music influences into productions of her own as she moves further into music production and vocal features. 

Wherever she goes next, Sara Sukkha is proud to promise her crowds only one thing — to expect the unexpected.
