ABOUT GAB RHOME: Gab Rhome has an innate sense of rhythm, emotion, and groove. Both as a producer and DJ, the Montreal artist sparks an unavoidable connection with the soul, while conveying exceptional personal style and a sense of fun. Since launching in 2013, the 28 year old’s career has taken off, with releases on All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth, Kindisch and more, with gigs including Burning Man, Tomorrowland, Nocturnal Wonderland Festival (US), showcases for Anjunadeep and All Day I Dream, Heart Ibiza, and Abracadabra (Scorpios Mykonos). His EP ‘La Maison’ (Sol Selectas) kicked off 2019 with its NYE release and has spent months in the Deep House Top 5.
Rhome is selective in researching his music for live sets, which is percussion-centric, dreamy deep house, often with an African, Cuban or Brazilian influence, and always with a hook to snare the listener. His eclectic musical background echoes the dual culture of being French-Canadian. He embraces this element of his persona to the extent of splitting each year between living in Paris and Montreal, further inspiring his creativity. He values quality, discipline and hard work as he strives to extend his musical range and skill. Gab loves how music can amplify reality, make the world more intense and beautiful for others.
Stunning releases on world class labels have already come thick and fast in Gab’s nascent career. In five years, he’s graced All Day I Dream twice with ‘Farewell at the Gates of Dawn’ and most recently ‘Reveries Ephemeres’, which included one of last year’s most iconic tracks ‘Do Not Grill Inside’. He’s joined the ranks at Anjunadeep with ‘Ceremonie De Adieux’ and ‘Drifting’; Last Night On Earth with ‘Deuce’ and Kindisch with ‘Jeunesse Doree’ and ‘Volleyball in Space’.
His DJ career began in a small hometown venue, where the Piknic Electronik booker saw, liked and signed him up for his second gig; a flying start, having already released on Guy Gerber’s Supplement Facts label in 2013. From there, his focus has been divided between the studio, and playing away from home worldwide.
His ambitions as a boy were fired by visiting crooner Charles Azanavour’s popularity with women, and Alexander the Great’s world-conquering success: his parents introduced him to music from the Beach Boys to Pink Floyd, from old kitsch French records to punk, always as a communal sharing experience. From there, via Kraut Rock, to Four Tet and James Holden, with inspiration from textured music by the likes of Border Community, Slowdive and Ride, but also influenced by South American music, jazz – for its technical elements for rhythmic sections – and classical, for the complexity of its note-patterns.
His sensual approach to life and music includes all the arts – literature and poetry, textiles and fashion, visual art especially surrealism and impressionism, and cooking, for which he sources spices and flavourings on his DJ travels. For the future, Gab Rhome seeks to progress globally, maintaining artistic credibility alongside dancefloor-heating powers. With his talent and intense working methods, it’s unlikely that he will run out of worlds to conquer.

ABOUT PABLO SANCHEZ: Pablo Sánchez is a DJ / producer hailing from Caracas, Venezuela. An artist with a thirst for traveling and adventure, he moved to New York City in the late 90’s at a time when the city’s clubbing scene was arguably the world’s best. Settling in Brooklyn, he soon immersed himself in the local art scene, and so began a lifelong affair with music that defines him to this very day.
A keen student with an almost natural understanding of rhythm and groove, Sánchez soon began to carve out a name for himself in New York’s many underground clubs as a special DJ with a penchant for the unlikely. He began to experiment in production soon after, hooking up with another much-renowned New Yorker, Alexi Delano, with whom he worked together in the early 2000s under the Soul Dynamics guise, a project that got to perform live at the legendary MoMA PS1 events in Queens.
A throughly eclectic producer, his vast body of work have emerged on a long list of respected outlets such as Culprit, Endless, liebe*detail, Sol Selectas, Hafendisko, Seven Villas and Moodmusic records among many others. Always finished with an organic and melodic flourish at their core, his productions reflect his colourful background and his broad knowledge of global music. Eclectic and adventurous, they’re just as likely to be tailored to the dancefloor as to life’s more introspective moments.
In 2008, Sánchez relocated to his current home city of Barcelona. Once again, he became involved in the local scene - and it’s one that’s rightly embraced his talents with open arms. A regular at the city’s globally-renowned Sonar Festival since 2005, he even closed Sonar by Day in 2010 and has played alongside some of the scene’s foremost names. A prolific DJ, Pablo Sánchez’s talents have brought him around the globe and back, from Tokyo to Berlin and Sydney to Moscow.
Between 2018 and 2019 he had a string of releases of original music, remixes and collaborative projects including three EPs as Basic Need with Alexi Delano, another one as Small Temple with Trujillo and a solo ambient album as Mutant Joy released by Seven Villas. 2020 is already stacked with exciting news like the release of a collaboration EP with Pablo Bolivar, a remix of the late Venezuelan folk music legend Simón Díaz and a Basic Need 12 inch release scheduled for spring.
Undoubtedly one of his country’s finest electronic music export and a DJ’s DJ with a penchant for the unusual, Pablo Sánchez is a musician who continues to inspire and enthral in equal measure.
