Fade: Derek Russo B2b Nelli

Fade continues with a special b2b set from a duo that Denver doesn't get enough of, Derek Russo and Nelli Derek Russo: Last year, Derek was named one of DJ Mag's "12 emerging artists you need to hear." Based in Brooklyn via Washington DC & Colorado, Derek is lauded for his ability to adapt seamlessly to most any type of gig while still displaying his signature style. With over 2 decades of experience, he's equally comfortable playing lower bpm, eclectic opening sets, to banging out house and techno in a dark basement, to disco and funk party jams on a sunny rooftop. As a producer, he has released on Make Mistakes, Perimeter Junk and his own label, Broad Channel. In addition, he throws a underground party in New York called Xoloft. https://djmag.com/features/12-emerging-artists-you-need-hear-january-2023 Nelli: Nelli originally got his start helping to produce the first Pretty Lights album and was the synth and bass player for Michal Manert. Originally hailing from NY, longtime Denver resident and scene stalwart, NELLI, is a veteran deep cut selector, who conjures a well-crafted mix of synthed-out Boogie Funk, NYC-informed Disco-Funk, alongside Deep seductive House, and Cosmic Techno Funk. Every set is a love letter to the dance floor and an homage to the roots of dance music and dj culture that paved the way for his traditional approach and forward style. He aims to spread a love vibration with each selection, connecting dots between NYC Disco, Detroit Techno, Chicago House, Norwegian Cosmic Disco, UK & Dutch House. His unique and larger-than-life sets are celebratory gestures of the highest order, geared to move the body and soul, and are not to be missed!
