✨Omran B2B Sedelle✨ @omranbaia@xxxr3ddxxx
Congratulations to this duo who submitted a set filled with fresh tracks and a vibe we know is going to be set the tone just right for the super stacked lineup on Sunday! United by a passion for Afrohouse and mixing on vinyl, Sedelle & Omrán crossed paths while honing their craft at DMI, where their connection deepened and their b2b sets began taking shape. Blending rich rhythms, feel-good grooves while having a deep respect for the music, culture, and community that moves them is what continues to drive them.
We also want to celebrate the super talented runner-ups
Mayari (@mayarimusicesq ) & Swanya (@djswanya ) 💜
