CARLO LIO

Some artists are content earning the label of “overnight sensation,” while others patiently rely on hard work, dedication, and perseverance to earn the title of “everlasting sensation.” The latter is unquestionably the case for enigmatic Toronto native producer/DJ, Carlo Lio.
Originally known for leading the pack of prodigiously talented Toronto producers, Carlo has utilized his trademark cosmic house and techno sound to cement his status among today’s prodigiously talented world-renowned producers.
For proof, look no further than his remix of the ‘Diablo’ track on Cocoon Recordings. One of the greatest rewards an artist can receive is to be recognized by his musical heroes, and an even greater honor occurs when those heroes ask you to remix for them. As talented as Carlo is in the studio, his deep pulsing tech-house and shaggy techno beats are even more powerful with captivating dancers in clubs and festivals around the globe.
With home bases in both Toronto and Barcelona, Lio effortlessly maintains the life of a superstar DJ, continuously roaming the planet for new dance floors to conquer. This year alone has Carlo billed on some of the world’s biggest events, including BPM Festival (Mexico), Digital Dreams (Canada), Audiogate (Germany), Balaton Sound (Hungary), Barrakud (Croatia), Les Plages Electroniques (France) and Music On (Ibiza).
Having no intentions of slowing down from this pace anytime soon, rest assured Carlo Lio is at the top of his game, routed straight into the international limelight with a lifetime of accolades ahead.
NATHAN BARATO
(Hot Creations, Cajual, Relief, Mood, Circus, Roots And Wings Music)
With his roots in the Toronto after-hours circuit and a profile that has since seen him smash premiere international platforms across the globe, Nathan Barato’s carved out a reputation as not only one of the most playable producers in dance music, but amongst its most prolific DJs as well.
In other words, Nathan Barato isn’t just the guy being invited to play all the big parties, he’s the guy everyone else on the bill is spinning too. Whether it was Marco Carola first rinsing Nathan’s 2012 hit “Hard Werq” to worldwide audiences just months before asking him to join the Music On roster, or Jamie Jones deeming Nathan a new star at the Hot Creations camp while making this year’s ‘Wobble Talk’ EP a mainstay in his superstar sets… the T.O. native has skyrocketed to international prominence as a well-respected and sought after name.
Many credit Nathan’s success to his genre diversity. His eclectic sound infuses many styles and has been recognized as one where the likes of 90’s garage get sampled against the backdrop of funky techno.

SEAN MILLER

Sean Miller is a DJ/Producer hailing from Toronto, the epicentre of Canada’s booming electronic music scene. Over the past two decades, his passion, creativity, and unwavering dedication to his craft have garnered international acclaim from music industry elites and discerning fans alike.
Sean kicked off his career as a resident DJ at the legendary Boa nightclub in his hometown, which acted as an ideal platform for him to showcase his signature sound – a sound that quickly caught the attention of industry heavy hitters like Steve Lawler, who in 2005, asked Sean to join him as the opening DJ on both his Lights Out and Viva North American tours.
2011 ushered in a major career highlight for Sean when his track, Sinnerman, became a #1 Beatport hit; the song would become the year’s highest selling record and occupy the #1 spot for longer than any other release that year. Starting from his first release (Swells), which debuted on Chus and Ceballos’ Stereo imprint in 2003, Sean has made notable strides in the world of music production, having his songs picked up by some of the world’s most influential labels, including (but not limited to): Mobilee, Viva, Supernature, Area Remote, Leftroom, and Plastic City.
2015 is set to be another memorable year for Sean Miller, with highly anticipated track releases in the works on Ovum, Saved And Tsuba; Vida (out on Ovum) was ranked as one of the top 14 tracks that ruled the BPM Festival ‘15.
Admired globally, Sean has played at some of the most renowned nightclubs and festivals around the world, such as Global Gatherings, Creamfields, The BPM Festival, Ministry Of Sound, Space, Avalon, Pacha, Red Light, La Mania, Stereo, and D-edge to name a few…
Sean is constantly pushing his boundaries as his sources of inspiration continuously evolve and breathe new life into his creative process. His passion for making music with integrity and soul has earned him both critical acclaim and a solid fan base; and although there is no denying what Sean Miller has accomplished in his career thus far, it is the anticipation of what his talent will bring in the future that truly keeps everyone coming back for more.
