He has shared the stage with modern music’s most celebrated artists, including Brandy, The Black Eyed Peas, Trey Songz, Pitbull, T-Pain, Future, and Nicki Minaj. In 2012, Mr. Vegas took to the electronic world, lending his distinctive vocals to Major Lazer’s “Can’t Stop Now” from their iconic breakthrough album Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do. “Love” marks his second Dim Mak appearance, following his feature on Lady Bee and Noise Cans’ “Bucka.”

Daddy’s Groove & Mindshake – 'WOW!' featuring Kris Kiss

The Italian duos of Daddy’s Groove and Mindshake team up with London-based singer/songwriter, Kris Kiss on the incredibly groovy, 'WOW!'.

'WOW!' combines Daddy’s Groove’s deep basslines with Mindshake’s wobbly, electro sounds turning this single into an Electro/Deep House masterpiece. Kris Kiss’ clubby vocals add a very unique spin onto the song, putting the icing on the cake. The buildup features steady snares, which progresses the song into a wobbly, drop. Genre bending is a great term for this one because it’s difficult to categorize. It has Miami vibes written all over it so when you’re walking out in the snow this winter, put this tune on to heat you up!

Daddy’s Groove have always been known for hopping genres, producing tunes from Deep and Electro House to Progressive House. Somehow they always seem to maintain a groovy vibe throughout each song, though. They’ve had multiple releases on Ultra Records such as 'Blackout', 'Pulse', and 'Black Sun', a single on Dim Mak, and a few on Spinnin’ and DOORN as well. Daddy’s Groove have collaborated with just about everyone: David Guetta, Axwell, NERVO, and Congorock to name a few. Their bi-weekly podcast 'Genesis' has come a long way since the first installment in 2012. In 2015 'Genesis' surpassed 100 episodes, which is a huge milestone for the Italian duo. Stay tuned to see what happens for Daddy’s Groove in 2016.

The other Italian duo, Mindshake are on the rise right now due to the success of their collaborations with Daddy’s Groove on 'Surrender' and 'Back' (a rework), and Congorock on 'Nok Nok'. They have now had two originals released through Ultra Records, the Daddy’s Groove rework via Spinnin’, and 'WOW!' will be their debut release on DOORN. It’s been almost a year since they’ve released any music as they’ve been gearing up for a big year in 2016. 'WOW!' looks to be a promising start for Mindshake so don’t turn away because they are only just beginning. 

Kris Kiss has been around the Hip Hop scene for a few years now after releasing his first mixtape, 'King of Hearts Volume 1' in early 2013. Similar to Example and Tinie Tempah his British accent is profound, which has served as a definite crowdpleaser. He made his dance music debut in May 2014 after being featured on Chocolate Puma’s hit, 'Step Back', which quickly amassed over 1 million views on Soundcloud and YouTube. Since then he has been featured on tracks from the likes of Chocolate Puma, Don Diablo, and Laidback Luke to name a few.
