NUMBER FOUR
BPM Festival presents Clandestine Agency Showcase w/ Guy Gerber |
Nina Kraviz| Tato | Fary
Venue: La Santanera
Date: Tuesday, January 3rd
Guy Gerber has been delivering quality productions for years with dance music’s hottest lables. Guy came in at #5 on the top 20 RA live acts poll and is also label head for a premier label Supplemental Facts. Let’s not forget his collaboration with P. Diddy himself! Producing tracks with the hip hop legend under the moniker 11:11, there is suggestion that an album should be released, however no date has been determined. It wouldn’t be odd to see a P. Diddy siting as many dance connoisseurs are aware that P. Diddy is a regular on the island of Ibiza. Considering his demanding schedule, this will be a special treat for westerners. Agency mates include “House Goddess” Nina Kraviz who has been releasing some of the sexiest deep tracks displaying her skills behind the decks and if your lucky enough to get a live set, live sexy vocals! Tato is always a special treat on the bill, especially since we’re really never sure if his Visa gets approved until you see him behind the decks.
