"I am beyond excited to make my return to Brunch Electronik, this time in my current hometown city of Los Angeles!

‘Leviosa’ is my recent release with Yes Yes Yes and Defected Records. What makes this track special to me is its dynamic rhythm and the sense of progression—it feels like a journey. Each section offers something unique, with intricate grooves and layers that keep the energy flowing. The heavy percussions give it a driving intensity and the horns add a bold, brassy vibe. Experimenting with different types of horns during production was a blast, and I love how they elevate the track’s personality.
This track always light up the dance floor - one of those tracks that commands movement. The combination of heavy percussion and the strings creates a contrast that’s both powerful and emotive.
I love it when producers incorporate unexpected instruments like strings as the lead melody in house music. It really makes a track stand out and this one has been a go-to for me in sets this past year.
This is such sexy and dirty track with undeniable edge and in combination with Aline Lima’s confident, edgy and seductive vocals it’s pure fire. ‘Lose all control’ is built for sweaty club vibes where the energy is raw. I love seeing the crowds reaction when I play this live!
I love tracks that can bridge genres effortlessly and ‘Rosa Nova’ is a perfect example of that. It’s a crossover gem that fits seamlessly with afro house, funky house, disco, or classic house. I always look for these types of tracks that makes it easy for me to shift the vibe in my sets and keep things fresh.
‘Go Up’ is probably the track I have played the most, and it has become a staple in my sets. Despite being an older release, it’s still as effective as ever. It never fails to energize the crowd. I’ve played it countless times and I still haven’t gotten tired of it, and neither has my audience. It’s one of those tracks you know will work and I love seeing the reaction it gets every time.
‘Mas Pito’ holds a special place in my heart—it’s one of my all-time favorite house tracks, and Marco Lys, the mastermind behind it, is one of my favorite house producers. I play a lot of his tracks when my sets lean heavily into house grooves.
‘Street Love’ is my latest release and a high-energy remix of Bora Uzer’s original track on Nervous Records. I wanted to preserve the funky guitar riffs and synth layers that made the original special while giving it my own twist. I added new guitar riffs, more percussion, vibrant synth stabs, and a rolling groove to inject new energy and momentum.
Don’t miss Brunch Electronik LA on January 18th! Julia Sandstorm will be joining Stephan Bodzin, Dubfire, and Apache for an incredible day of music, energy, and unforgettable vibes. With the support of Minimal Effort and SBCLTR, be sure to join us in Los Angeles for an unmissable experience on the dance floor!
