Damiano Von Erckert
With a strong love for 70’s, 80’s and 90’s funk, house and soul, apparent through his expert track selection and production, Damiano had a rich musical upbringing resonating in an intellectual and nostalgic sound. Gaining notoriety for his diversion from typical house traditions and atmospheric sets, the man behind record label Ava will captivate and control this year with his positive music showcase.

 Greg Wilson
This dance music pioneer has been tearing up dance floors since the mid 70’s and holds many honors for his outstanding contributions to music. From being the first person to DJ live on British TV to teaching Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) how to mix, you cant deny his influence on dance music today. After announcing his retirement in 1983 he returned to the scene two decades later with a treasure chest of disco, house and funk edits.
