In this Spotlight, we're joined by Peruvian DJ & producer TolinchiLove. TolinchiLove never intended to be an ambassador for the Peruvian house music scene. He didn’t even intend to be a DJ or producer, “I only wanted to dance. I just wanted to party and connect with people." His career as a DJ is that dream realized. The mission to bring the sounds of classic house to Peru and South America began to materialize when he first stepped up to the decks. And as he looks back on his journey from raver to DJ to international producer, he’s happy that he’s been able to spread the good word of house music to so many people.

In this Spotlight, we're joined by Los Angeles-based house music producer and DJ Tyler Young. Tyler Young may seem like a fresh face in house music but when you pull back the curtain you'll see over a decade of grinding. Add to that a musical upbringing that stretches back to the birth of West Coast hip-hop, and throw in some peak dance floor experiences, and you are one step closer to understanding how Tyler Young got here. He’s proven he can make great dance music with mass appeal. And he's ready to take on dancefloors that are primed for peak hour beats!

In this Spotlight, we're joined by David Wheatcroft, aka Wheats, an exciting rising house artist from the UK who's making his imprint on the club scene. Despite growing up in Portsmouth, a home education in house/techno and a close proximity to Southampton and Brighton gave David all the tools he needed to launch his career. David’s Al Shrill EP (released in 2017) marked the first real development in his style. The EP came out on Amplified Records, a local brand for which David was a local resident with in Portsmouth. Around the same time as the Al Shrill EP, David connected with Toolroom Records and proceeded to make the label his home. The future is bright for David and he plans to dream big when it comes to the next phase of his career!
