Who's Who?
Nu Deco Ensemble
Since its inception in 2015, Nu Deco Ensemble has exploded onto Miami’s eclectic musical scene captivating audiences, holistically engaging with its community, and fusing innovative, genre-bending orchestral performances and collaborations with the highest levels of musical artistry. Called a “chamber orchestra for the 21st century” by The New York Times, their performances have featured artists including Wyclef Jean, Allen Stone, Macy Gray, Monsieur Periné, Jacob Collier, and Ben Folds; reimagined orchestral suites of the music of Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, The Beatles, and Aretha Franklin; symphonic masterworks from Bernstein, Stravinsky and Gershwin; and new music from some of today’s most exciting living composers.
Dude Skywalker
‘Dude Skywalker’ has time-traveled from the distant future to save the current state of dance music with the cosmic sounds of the forthcoming space age. Combining a signature eclectic vibe of space-funk, disco, hip-hop, soul and jazz with the moving beats of deep house and gritty techno, Dude Skywalker has all angles of the underground dance floor covered.
Sinego
Sinego is a Colombian producer, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ bridging the worlds of electronic and Latin music. Known for his innovative blend of regional Latin sounds with modern dance aesthetics, he has emerged as a leading voice in the new generation of Latin dance artists. His work has earned acclaim from The Fader and Popdust, recognition by The Grammy Awards as one of “7 Latin DJs To Watch in 2023,” and a feature in Beatport’s “Next” artist program for 2024.
A captivating performer, Sinego brings his vision to life both as a live bandleader and a DJ, sharing stages with artists like Christian Löffler, Parra for Cuva, and Stavroz, and performing at major festivals including Burning Man, EDC Mexico, and Corona Capital. He has also been one of the first Latin artists to release an official Spotify DJ Mix and curates the Apple Music Viajero mix series. Upcoming releases include collaborations with Diplo’s label Higher Ground and Tomorrowland’s Core Records.
Thank you to our supporters who helped make this performance possible!
