Seven Davis Jr. - Live @ Mixmag Lab LA 2016

Born Samuel Davis Jr., Seven came upon his numerical moniker when he combined the numbers of his birthday (April 3) and coined himself as Seven Davis Jr. The Texan born, California-raised artist got his start young. At only 3 years of age, Seven began his training in gospel and and jazz, eventually moving on to Acid Jazz and R&B vocal styles. His early interest in music led him to a fruitful time of exploration as he bounced from ghostwriting to ghost producing, and eventually signed with Ninja Tune in 2014. A year later, he released his debut album 'Universes', and most recently was inspired by the passing of his hero Prince to move on to the next chapter with his own imprint 'Secret Angels', where he plans to release 'Live From The Other Side', the sophomore follow-up album that will arrive before 2017. Seven Davis Jr. will head to Lights Down Low on August 5 after The Lab LA.

Amine Edge & DANCE - Live @ Mixmag Lab NYC 2016

The Lab NYC is Mixmag and Smirnoff Sound Collective's weekly afterwork party where we stream the best American and international DJs from the intimate space connected to our Brooklyn office. This Friday, Mixmag is excited to present Amine Edge & DANCE as the second performance of a special Lab double-decker. Amine Edge & DANCE first stepped onto the scene as the initiators of the G-House movement, a powerful and fresh fusion of hip-hop and house music. The two were friends for 15 years before deciding to collaborate and went on to become top talents in the dance music realm. After running the G-House game for many years and starting their own label CUFF, the pair decided to take a break from their signature genre. The France hailing producers now concentrate more on house music, but the talent, energy and raw funk of their sound is still at an undeniable high.

Martin Buttrich - Live @ Lovefest 2016

Martin Buttrich has been famously producing with technical precision, combined with a fascination for the industry he works in, for over 20 years. He's released influential work on labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Nervous and Desolat, and the American has also scooped up a notable Grammy nomination for the Tori Amos remix in 2003. Equipped with a stage-presence that can immediately be felt, Martin has enthralled party-goers at some of the world's sought after venues and locations time after time, selling out festivals such as Time Warp and Creamfields. He's been a consistent head at temples of boom across the world, such as as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and more. Buttrich’s journey into electronic music began with the best education possible. He figured in clubs in Berlin and Hannover at the dawn of the ‘90s, tying in perfectly with the sweeping feel-good summer spirit of the time. At 18 years old he began experimenting with production that lead to a collaboration with his then co-worker at Peppermint Jam distribution, Timo Maas. And it's his collaboration work that stands out for itself. Forming a partnership with Loco Dice in 2002, Buttrich found inspiration to alter his approach, choosing to delve deeper into the archives for gritty, textured melodies. In no time at all, the duo spent more than half a year living in New York. Between late night production sessions and tireless commitment, their Desolat label came to life. 2011 saw Martin release a staggering collection of music, such as “Fire Files” EP on Desolat and remixes for Marco Carola and Lee Curtis amongst others. At this year's Lovefest in Serbia, the American powerhouse provided instantaneous grooves from the get-go. Mostly strong tech-house vibes throughout, the set maintained high energy levels at the end of a busy day of action.
