Known for his eclectic mixes that break and blur the boundaries of dance music, SURKIN style has now developed into a unique and distinctive sound.
► Canblaster other than a very talented producer and remixer, is an extremely skilled DJ. His unequivocal sound showcases straight house and techno, mixing harmonic and rhythmic paradoxes, also recalling the best elements of his passion for videogames, classic French house, jazz and old school rave. His latest EP 'Infinite', just been released on Surkin label
Marble Records, is an absolute masterpiece. Expect a very intense DJ set at The Playground!

► Daktyl is one of those producers whose name couldn't be anymore suited in describing the ability behind his productions. With releases on White Colours, he gained massive support throughout 2012 and has also been invited to play at Stealth in Nottingham and all over the UK supporting acts like Artful Dodger, Lunice, Baauer and closing The Bloody Beetroots in the main room at Koko in March.
