NADASTROM
Nadastrom (\ˈnä-dəˈstrȯm\)- The D.C.-born, L.A.-based duo Nadastrom come from different backgrounds, but share a ravenous appetite for extremes. From producing classic genre bending club anthems to techno groovers, and as the prime architects of moombahton, the duo have been praised in the pages of Spin and Rolling stone, pumped on the airwaves of BBC Radio 1 and NPR, and revered at nightclubs and festivals across the planet.
Dave Nada was born in Maryland, a first generation Ecuadorian-American surrounded by five brothers and the sounds of cumbia, folk, salsa, merengue and reggaeton. As a teen, he gravitated toward Washington’s legendary hardcore punk scene, playing in bands while learning to DJ on college radio. A move to Baltimore landed Nada in the second surge of Baltimore club music, where he DJed alongside club icons K-Swift, Rod Lee and DJ Technics, while producing acclaimed club tracks of his own.
Matt Nordstrom grew up in Virginia on the other side of the Washington beltway where skateboarding provided a contact point with punk, metal and hip-hop. In the late ‘90s, he swapped the skateboard for turntables and switched his college major from psychology to audio engineering. Soon, Nordstrom was the resident engineer for esteemed D.C. house heroes Deep Dish and piloting recording sessions with the likes of Stevie Nicks and P. Diddy, even scoring a Grammy nomination along the way.
When the two came together in 2007, the chemistry was instant and the music was colossal. The group signed to Switch’s Dubsided label where their debut EP, “Pussy,” immediately topped the charts on Beatport. Since then, Nadastrom have produced tracks for a slew of artists, including M.I.A., and have done remixes for Kid Cudi, Benny Benassi, Christina Aguilera, Waka Flocka Flame, the Death Set and Alex Clare.
In 2010, the duo relocated from Washington to Los Angeles and since then they’ve hit the road, performing at the biggest festivals in dance music, including Australia’s Creamfields festival with Deadmau5, the Disco Biscuits’ Camp Bisco festival, Movement Detroit, Electronic Daisy Carnival with Dubfire and Ritchie Hawtin, Ultra Music Festival with Sven Vath and Boys Noize, Fusion Fest in Germany, the Red Bull Culture Clash in Miami, Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival with Salva and Pete Tong, the Mad Decent Block Party with Major Lazer, numerous HARDFEST runs with Dirty Bird’s Claude Von Stroke and Justin Martin, Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, L-Vis 1990, Kingdom, Skream, Duke Dumont, Flying Lotus and Odd Future, continuous world tours with Skrillex and his legendary Mothership Tour, and international tour runs with Aloe Blacc and Benji B via Los Angele’s The Do-Over.
Meantime, their “Moombahton Massive” parties with partner DJ Sabo have become a movement of its own, with Nadastrom serving as the genre’s leading ambassadors and teaming up with other influential artists such as Dillon Francis, Munchi, Buraka Som Sistema, Toddla T, Schlachthofbronx, Toy Selectah and Mixpak.
Nadastrom has always been about moving the crowd through music exploration and developing positive relationships with likeminded people from all over the world. To quote George Clinton, “One nation under a groove.”
SABO
For the past 15 years, Sabo has set the benchmark for his peers across the world thanks to his unmistakable signature style: ‘Funky music to make you feel good’ which is, as he describes it, an irresistible Balearic fusion of deep house, tropical bass, Moombahton, Dub, disco, hip hop, soul and reggae.
He is a pivotal part of the fast-growing moombahton scene, with the sound’s creator, Dave Nada, openly crediting Sabo’s early musical experiments as a key influence on the sound of today. Sabo’s responsible for many of the genre’s key tracks, and a resident DJ at the legendary Moombahton Massive parties.
Sabo has remixed for labels like Mad Decent and MAN Recordings, and has original releases on his own label Sol*Selectas, and T & A Records. He’s remixed artists like Dennis Ferrer, Gregor Salto, Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, Nadastrom, and Amadou & Miriam to name just a few.
He has performed with Sting, Erykah Badu, Brazilian Girls, Dj Craze, Osunlade, Diplo, Dillon Francis, and Aloe Blacc, has mentions in Rolling Stone, Spin, Mixmag, and The Fader, as well as sites such as XLR8R, Generation Bass, and MTV Iggy. Sabo has DJ residencies at U-Street Music Hall in DC, Grand Central in Miami, and Output Club in NYC, and currently produces the online monthly radio show Moombah Fiesta on iHeartRadio.com
FORT KNOX FIVE
The FORT KNOX FIVE have the midas touch for producing heavy hitting records. Since 2003, they have released an arsenal of floor rocking singles and remixes from their Washington DC based label, Fort Knox Recordings.
Sid Barcelona, Jon Horvath, Rob Myers and Steve Raskin are the masterminds behind the FORT KNOX FIVE. Their signature ‘Fort Knox Sound’ seamlessly interweaves live instrumentation with funky electronic breakbeats.
As DJs, they know how to rock a party with infectious grooves that effortlessly move from funk, reggae, and hip-hop to prime time beats & breaks. Their unique DJ style has proven irresistible to clubgoers worldwide. They have performed on 5 continents, and in over 25 different countries. Their music & skills caught the attention of Gwen Stefani, who asked the FORT KNOX FIVE to be her tour DJs for her Harajuku Lovers tour with the Black Eyed Peas.
