Ora Presents Danny Avila ( From Super Hit - Yes Bitch )
Date: Friday February 28-2025
Time: 9pm-2am
Danny Avila
-----------------
Danny Avila has embarked on a new creative project: developing his unique sound Mainstage Techno, which has since grown into a record label.
Hard hitting techno has long been married to dark nightclubs. Basslines snake through underground bunkers, and kick drums thump through warehouse party spots. But what if this underground sound could light up the world’s biggest arenas? Enter – Mainstage Techno. Danny Avila’s latest interpretation on techno takes the white-knuckled strength of the best techno records – the kick, the bass, the hardness – and reimagines them for massive crowds. It’s the sound of the underground music he grew up performing, yet bolder. Think: state of the art techno and its deep-in-the-club sonics, but tailor made for thumping across the main stage. Premiered in 2021 at Tomorrowland's Around The World festival, Mainstage Techno brings Avila’s underground roots together with massive presence.
It’s music made to be played on huge stages with massive crowds. And more than anything, it’s a journey – one taking Avila back to his DJing roots and the tracks he loves, with all of the knowledge gained from performing to hundreds of thousands of crowds. Welcome to Mainstage Techno and Danny Avila’s next progressive era.

paraleven:
Paraleven is the title of Atlanta, Georgia native Josh Taylor's ascending musical brainchild. Best characterized as an artful intersection of musical elements native to melodic, deep and progressive house, the driving and robust nature of his early discography swiftly earned him much notoriety in electronic music.

Ora Presents Dillon Nathaniel
Date: March 21-2025
Time: 10pm-2am
Tickets.oraseattle.com
Dillon Nathaniel
--------------------------------
Filipino American DJ and Producer, Dillon Nathaniel is the consummate house music connoisseur, a true technician,and a passionate dance music champion. Coded into his musical DNA are the history of house music and the memories of bygone dancefloors. Memories passed on from his Filipino family, who hoped to impress upon him the enchanting magic of dance music. His thick sweltering basslines and slippery hypnotic grooves have made him a favorite of lauded dance floor greats like Solardo, Chris Lake, Lee Foss, John Summit (co-collaborator on Esa Boca), Green Velvet, Fisher, Mau P and MK. The iconic MK personally tagged Nathaniel to join him on tour twice
and has become a trusted collaborator in the studio.
Even his early releases on Confession and Night Bass carried a refinement that only comes with years of experience. His ability to work multiple subgenres flawlessly, Dillon Nathaniel's versatile productions have made him a regular on Sola, Repopulate Mars, Solotoko,
Big Beat, Incorrect, Sweat It Out, Nervous, Techne, Insomniac, and now his artist focussed label, Obsessions.
The former audio engineer and gear junkie found his footing in music early as a vocalist and guitar player. And while he tried to avoid house music, the draw of the dancefloor was too great. A crash course in DJing and mashups on equipment tossed aside by his father sparked his interest. But his family taking him to his first EDC at 16 was the true catalyst. The transformational moment provided the ultimate inspiration to pursue a career in dance music.
He's just as much of a technician on stage as he is behind the boards, and that trademark command of the groove has led him to bless the stages of CRSSD, Lollapolooza, Global Dance, Splash House, Coachella, and of course, taking him full circle to EDC Vegas, with his family standing beside him.

Alex Orion
---------------
Hailing from a long line of talented Dutch producers, Alex O'Rion is one of the brightest stars to recently emerge on Hernan Cattaneo's SUDBEAT label.
He started to experiment with music at 14 year old and was inspired by the likes of Sasha, Nick Warren and John Digweed. Although his first appearance was in the trance scene, Alex soon found out that deep progressive music was his passion. The switch to progressive house was a massive decision and a very successful one. Alex has released over 150 tracks on beatport and has the ongoing support of many big names like Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, Guy J, Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur, Quivver amongst others.
After his debut EP on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat in 2018 things started looking really bright for the Dutchman. Later that year he delivered two more EP's for Sudbeat. Every track of those releases made it into the beatport top 100 best selling tracks with no less than 3 tracks in the top 10. In 2019 he signed his first EP on Nick Warren's beloved HOPE recordings. 'Timeless' instantly landed in beatport's top 10 and got supported by the biggest names out there. Alex had no intentions of slowing down and released his music on the highly respected REPLUG label hosted by Dan Orsen and Cid Inc.
At the end of 2019 he will make his debut on Movement Recordings and will be represented worldwide by Movement Bookings as well. This year saw Alex also notching up live appearances as a dj. He played on Sudbeat’s Showcase in Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek and will also perform during ADE, plus notable appearances at Nature One Festival in Germany, Ministry Of Sound in London and Es Paradis in Ibiza.
Ora and Paul Van Dyk Presents THIS WORLD IS OURS Tour
Date: Friday March 28- 2025
Time: 9pm-2am
tickets.oraseattle.com
Paul Van Dyk
-----------------------------------
Grammy nominated artist, globally acclaimed DJ and audio architect Paul van Dyk continues to dominate the electronic music charts and appears at the pinnacle of every Top DJ list around the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, has been ranked the World´s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine´s "Top 100 DJs poll" two times something less than a handful of DJs have ever achieved.
PvD is credited as one of the hardest working artists in electronic music, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. On New Years Eve 2008/2009 Paul played Barra Beach to over 1 million people in Rio de Janero giving testament to his incredible popularity the world over. In 2008 Paul expanded into creating music for video games and movie soundtracks. His work with EA Games has resulted in mulitple releases featuring his music on Mirror's Edge and Grand Slam Tennis out in 2009. Paul has also lent his talents to remixing Batman's "Dark Knight Theme" written by Hanz Zimmer. But Paul is no stranger to high profile remixes, he has put his unique twist on Depeche Mode´s "Martyr", Justin Timberlake´s "What Goes Around" and Britney Spears "Gimme More" just to name a few. His original album In Between released in 2007 and featured collaborations with David Byrne and Jessica Sutta of the Pussycat Dolls as well as Rea Garvey of Reamon and Johnny McDaid of Vega 4.
PvD received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections - this marked the first time NARAS recognized this category. His original productions from Reflections have been synced into major motion pictures such as Into the Blue, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, television´s Entertainment Tonight and MTV´s Cribs, and international ad campaigns for Motorola, HBO, Land Rover, Ski Vail and most recently for Jeep. This year he won the International Dance Music Award (IDMA) for Best Euro DJ.
Previously, PvD won four IDMAs in 2006: Best Global DJ, Best NuNRG/Euro Track, Best Producer and Best Mix Compilation for The Politics of Dancing 2. In addition, PvD was voted "America´s Favorite DJ" for 2004 and 2005 by BPM Magazine and was the big winner at the 2004 Dancestar Awards, taking home 3 awards: Best International DJ, Best Event and Best Music in a Commercial (Motorola). He also won the Mexican Oscar for his soundtrack in the film Zurdo in March 2004. Paul van Dyk was voted "Best Music Maker" by DJ Magazine, received the "Best International DJ Award" at the 1999 Music Awards in London, was named "Best International DJ" by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as "Man of the Year".
Aside from his musical activity, Paul van Dyk has always dedicated a significant part of his life to politics and social justice: from his youth, when he fled over the Berlin Wall to the West, to his children´s charity in India´s Mumbai, and his partnership scheme with the German Red Cross to help poor children in Berlin. In 2004, PvD was the only electronic artist involved in a nationwide tour with the Rock The Vote campaign, where he joined the likes of Bono, P Diddy, the Black Eyed Peas and George Clinton in campaigning for America´s youth to sign up to vote in the presidential election. He most recently received Berlin´s Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a charity organization he founded dedicated to helping poor children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor.
Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music - he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990´s Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasn´t until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single "For An Angel," which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets and remixes that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first compilation mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003 - a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
Paul van Dyk´s touring diary remains incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues across the globe from New York, London, Ibiza to India, China and Singapore. In the little time remaining between all the travel, Paul van Dyk resides in Berlin where he has his own radio show "Paul van Dyk´s VONYC Sessions" which airs weekly on the Area Channels on Sirius XM Satellite Radio on Thursday nights at 6PM EST (and rebroadcasts Saturdays at 8PM EST and Tuesdays at Midnight EST) and Soundgarden which airs every Wednesday 2pm - 4pm (EST) on Fritz radio and over the internet (www.fritz.de) as well as Galaxy FM in the UK.

Tokyo Machine combines hard hitting heavy basslines with nostalgic melodies and synths. His direct support slots for Modestep, Slushii, and Virtual Riot, built the foundation for his own headline tours in the US and Asia.

His psychotic head banging fans have earned him over 300 million Spotify streams and an international Gold Record.
Time: 10pm-2am
------------------------------------
Nox Vahn first began his journey under the alias ‘Fairchild.’ His prior name might have a familiar ring to it, and that’s because Fairchild first burst onto the underground music scene in 2015 by catching the attention of internationally-acclaimed DJ and Grammy-nominated music producer, Kaskade, who began to release and support Fairchild’s music on his newly founded record label, Arkade.
The young, classically-trained musician was immediately recognized on a global scale as an exceptionally exciting electronic-music-producer to watch, promptly earning him support from a wide range of the biggest names in dance music history including Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, Hernan Cattaneo, Sander Van Doorn, Henry Saiz, Lane 8, Eelke Kleijn, Jeremy Olander, and a nod from the “Pied Piper of Dance” himself, Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1.
Soon, word of the up-and-coming American artist made its way across the pond where he was picked up by London based record labels, Anjunadeep & Anjunabeats. The powerhouse sister-labels both went on to feature a total of 5 of the aspiring American’s productions as standout moments in their chart-topping and legendary compilation albums in Anjunadeep 9 & 10 and most recently, Anjunabeats vol. 14.
In early 2019, the musician announced a brand change, citing complications with the name ‘Fairchild’. In an open statement, he genuinely explained the struggles he’s had and reassured fans that the branding changes would have no impact on his sound or style, stating “I’m still making whatever music I would have made as Fairchild. It’s still me in the studio, only now, I have a new name and brand I can call my own. It’s something I 100% believe in and can feel confident operating in for years to come.”
The highly-anticipated alias reveal was met with excitement and interest from fans and industry professionals alike. When asked how he came up with the name, he mysteriously responded that he felt like ‘Nox Vahn’ chose him, and not the other way around.
He would go on to perform at some of the most legendary venues in the United States including Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, and the Brooklyn Mirage in New York; while supporting names like Kaskade, Above & Beyond, and Lane 8 on tour; and continuing to see highly successful releases on labels such as Kaskade’s Arkade, and London based powerhouse label, Anjunadeep.
Clearly, Nox has proven himself worthy of a seat at the underground table. He has vowed to continue to explore the depths of his mind and electronic music - and with his heavy progressive influence and signature dark sound, he will continue to win the hearts and minds of people around the world - a shining beacon calling out to all of those who will listen

Cosmic Gate
----------------------------
From their very first drumbeat, throughto the release of ‘[Forward Ever Backward Never]’ - their‘20 Years’ commemoratinglongplayer,Cosmic Gate’s Nic Chagall and Bossi have proved to be a matchlessmusical union. Achance encounter in aCologne recording studio two decades agoset themon the course to becoming Germany’s most enduringly successfulelectronic music duo.Their original productions have takenthem to thehighest reaches of streaming lists and download charts, whilst their remixography eclectically includes everyone from revered Hollywood composers like James Horner (Avatar/Titanic) to in-scene demigods like Armin van Buuren and Tiësto.Nic&Bossi’s behind-decks-brotherhoodhastriggeredcritical mass in a now uncountable number of countries.
They’ve dominated electronic music capitals andspun at the veritable A-through-Z of major festivals. In the process they’vepicked up a Grammy nomination (in 2019’s Best Remix category), become the highest climber on DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart and racked up numerous other awards &nominationsalong the way. Driven by their critically applauded albums, Spotify-busting singles like ‘am2pm’, ‘Fall Into You’ and ‘Falling Back’ (each with 5million streams to their name)and scene-defining classics like‘Be Your Sound’, ‘Fire Wire’ and ‘Exploration of Space’ (10million Spotify streams),their star on dance music’s walk of fame has long since been laid.
As DJs, kinetically bouncing off the others energy, week in, week out, Cosmic Gate continue to push floorsto supernova. In North America they’ve smashed the biggest festivals like EDC, Ultra, Electric Zoo, IleSoniq, Spring Awakening, Paradiso, Global Dance, Veld, Dreamstateand more.Road-blocking clubs and events like Space (both Miami & New York), Governors Island NY, LA’s Palladium and the Great Hall at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardnerhas become their SOP.Floors have felt similar pressurein hotspots worldwide.Among them have beenTomorrowlands inBelgium & Brazil,ASOTs internationally,Creamfields, Ministry& SW4 in the UK&Ultra Europe, Untold Romania, Mysteryland&Luminosity in Holland andParookaville, Boothaus&Nature One in their native Germany. Their WMC/MMW Miami Sunset Cruises have long since passed intoclubbinglegend and the pair famouslysold out a 2000 capacity solo show on the island of Honolulu.
Grammy nomination: the final month of 2018 Nic&Bossi were nominated for their first Grammy award. Selected in the Best Remixer category, their work on Gabriel & Dresden and Sub Teal’s ‘Only Road’from a year earlier drew nomination praise from the academy. The remix was further described by DJ Mag as “masterful”, with “alchemic sequencing”, “shrewd use of context” and was “wily” in its “sound design”
C.G. Productions& Albums:In their homeland, Cosmic Gatehasmaintained a consistently high level of mainstreamsuccess, charting no fewer than 7 top 40 singles. Further afield ‘Fire Wire’signalled the pair’s arrival, becoming a pan-European chart smash and hitting the top ten in a number of countries.
Albums have, and continue to play a substantial part in their production career. Most recently that’s been evidenced by‘20 Years’, which was released in August of 2019. Significantly subtitled ’[Forward Ever Backward Never’], it was conceived as an album thatinnovatively took their body of work to new floors and audiences. Includingnew Cosmic Gate productions, it also incorporated 2.0 renovations of CG anthems. Further it featured reworks of tunes personally inspirational to CG, as well as new takes from other artists on classic Cosmic moments. Its first single releases brought a brace of Beatport hits with the MINT-playlisted ‘Come With Me’ and the “profound” (said DJ Mag) “9/10” ranked ‘Need To Be Loved’ both hitting the #1 position.
The album also gave rise to the 20 Years live tour, which to date has reached 30 cities globally.Of the tour’s LA stop, EDM.com said: “Los Angeles played host to one of their biggest shows on the tourwhere they performed at the legendary Hollywood Palladium. Their extended three-hour set included guest performances by JES, Eric Lumiere, and Emma Hewitt, who have lent their vocals to some of the duo's biggest tracks”. The Dallas Observer meanwhile hailed their Stereo Live, Houston show as a “cruise through two decades of varied, quality productions.
’20 Years’ was preceded by the two ‘Chapters’ of thelongplayer‘Materia’ - the release of which musically bookended the group’s 2017. It was the album mothership for a clutch of new Cosmic Gate singlesand releases. Among them were‘Fall Into You’,‘Edge Of Life’, ‘Noom’, the Beatport #1 ‘am2pm’, ‘AR’,‘Dynamic’ (“melody and grit in equal proportions” said DJ Mag’s 8/10 review) and others.Following their ‘Start To Feel’ long-player (more info below), the releasescored a MIXMAG Album of the Month plaudit, representing - said the magazine - an “impressive”, “roots-return” to their origin sound. Upon their release the ‘Materias’were met with comparable sales success, hitting iTunes’ top 10s in 9 countries and reaching the #2 spot in both the United States and Canada.
The period 2015 - 2016 saw Cosmic Gate continue to embrace the collaboration medium through a number of high-profiles co-production projects. Among them was ‘Embargo’, which was the result of studio time shared with Armin van Buuren. The track was subsequently featured on the latter’s 2015 album, ‘Embrace’. A year later Nic&Bossi teamed up with Ferry Corsten to record ‘Event Horizon’. Garnering substantial praise from fans, DJs and press alike, it topped Beatport’s Trance chart in October of 2016.
Released in the summer of 2014, Cosmic Gate used their sixth album ‘Start To Feel’ to inspire fans to experience electronic music in a “deeper, wider, more complete way”. It’s first single - the Eric Lumiere-sung ‘Falling Back’ – was described as “9.5/10” scoring “anthem in a can” by the UK’s DJ Mag. Further singles including ‘So Get Up’, Yai (Here We Go Again’)and ‘Fair Game’ cemented its reputation. Upon release, the album hit the iTunes’ top 10 in the US, Canada, Germany and Russia. A MIXMAG 9/10 rated release, ‘Start To Feel’was hailed as “audio chemistry and production physics in their most quantum forms”. It also catalysedthe Start To Feel bus tour, which famously saw Nic&Bossi perform 13 shows in just 16 days, coast-to-coast across North America, playing to over 20,000 fans.
In 2011 the duo released ‘Wake Your Mind’.It produced ‘Be Your Sound’ - a single that MIXMAG suggested “finally unseats ‘Fire Wire’ as Cosmic Gate’s best-known-for track”. With its official video just off 16 million views on YouTube, it bagged anIDMA nomination in 2012, (with the JES-sung‘Flying Blind’ following suit a year later).
Cosmic Gate’s album movements began with ‘Rythm& Drums’ (in 2001), ‘No More Sleep’ which followed a year later and‘Earth Mover’ in ‘06. The latter was the album platform for the club hits ‘Analog Feel', ‘Should Have Known’ and the IDMA-nominated ‘I Feel Wonderful’. ‘Sign of the Times’ arrived 3 years later, bringing the vocal anthem ‘Body of Conflict’, a further IDMA-nod for‘Not Enough Time’ and spurred(a then near unheard of) 43-place leap up DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart. It also edged the pair towards a more open-plan electronic music style (later to fully manifest in ‘Wake Your Mind’ and ‘Start To Feel’).
Cosmic Gate’sWake Your Mind marque was subsequently spun off into a number of other areas. WYM Radio is a comprehensively formatted show, which featuresNic&Bossidiscussing and airing their most highly rated tracks of the week. It’ll also encompasses first-listen music premieres and tunes from the deeper side of the CG psyche. The show - which is broadcast on Sirius XM, DI.FM and many other stations - also features comprehensive info on up-and-coming gigs, Nic&Bossi’s Big Bang track of the week and a host of other features, latterly including the ThrowBack weekly classic and their Private Playlist tune. In January of 2019, the show passed its landmark 250th episode.
Since 2013, Wake Your Mind Records has been the label base for all of Cosmic Gate’s releases. It’s also served as a dais for Cosmic Gate to sign and release music from other artists. Of late, tracks from producers like Maor Levi Greenhaven DJs and Steve Brian, as well as Nic Chagall’s own solo material have featured, alongside co-productions with Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Super8 & Tab and others. Latterly, the Wake Your Mind Sessions compilations have also come to play a part in the WYM make-up, with the third in the series reaching release in March of 2018.
Other remixes:Over their production lifetime, Cosmic Gate’s remixeshave become almost as illustrious as their productions. In essence a blow-by-blow of A-list artists, Nic&Bossi have lent their studio know-how to releases byArmin van Buuren, Tiësto, Deadmau5, Paul van Dyk, Above &Beyond’sOceanLab project, Markus Schulz, John O’Callaghan, Gareth Emery and Ferry Corsten. In early 2010 Atlantic Records US approached them to remix James Horner’s ‘I See You’ – the main theme from the film Avatar. This run culminated in Nic&Bossi being nominated for Best Remixer at the 2010 IDMAs and not to forget their Grammy nominated remix for „Gabriel & Dresden - The Only Road“ in 2019 (see extra paragraph on page one)
