Preview: Hardwell, Dyro, Audien, Henrix @ Governors Island
Brace yourselves the biggest event to hit Governors Island yet! My favorite venue in NYC will be kicking off summer tomorrow with 5 huge names in dance music. Let's start with Alex English. The Webster Hall resident and co-creator of "Girls & Boys" on Friday nights will bring the bass and have everyone raging out as soon as the doors open at four. I have seen Alex play numerous times and each time has been a blast.
Next on the lineup is the massively talented Henrix. The Miami based DJ and producer is the artist to watch on this lineup. You all know him from hits such as the monster track of 2013 "Hit It" with GTA and Digital Lab and "After All" with Darmon and Eran Hersh. You must also check out his bootlegs if you haven't already! I can't wait to finally see him live tomorrow, I'll have all my energy ready for his set at 5.
The next two artists are both young, super talented and have taken the dance music scene by storm - I'm sure you have all heard of them unless you've been living under a rock. Dyro, hailing from the Netherlands, has been plastered all over the dance music scene as Hardwell's go-to protege with his sick remixes and productions. Some of my favorite Dyro material include his remix of Morgan Page and Nadia Ali's single "Carry Me," Calvin Harris and Nicky Romero's "Iron" and his own track "Leprechauns & Unicorns".
