Weiss (UK) at Shady Park Tempe TreeHouse Sunday January 19th 2019
3PM-9PM // 21+ // Tickets on sale now Weiss is most innovative when
he’s untethered from the conventions and trends of Dance Music
production. Although he embodies the spirit of classic House Music
forms like old school Jackin and 90’s era Chicago House, his
underlying philosophy is quite simple - construct a beat that taps
into the primal and speaks to the universal love of dance shared
around the world. Growing up in the UK, Weiss accumulated a diverse
range of musical tastes and influences, from Metallica to Motown and
Phil Collins to Disco. An apprentice to Massive Attack’s Musical
Engineer James Day early in his career, Weiss was able to draw from
that deep well of inspiration and expert technical training to produce
what would become a trove of instantly recognizable classics and
unique, chunky, club rollers. Weiss’ initial success as a producer
was immediate and profound. His hit single “My Sister”, released
in 2013, hit the top of the Beatport Charts and stayed there for four
months. Assisted by a generous amount of support from BBC Radio 1, his
sounds caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Annie Mac,
Groove Armada, Green Velvet, Loco Dice, and Kenny Dope. After several
years of successive hit radio singles like his 2016 “You’re
Sunshine”, which premiered on Danny Howard’s BBC Radio 1 show and
netted a spot at the top of the Beatport charts, Weiss’ profile
continued to expand. It wasn’t long before his musical contributions
and electrifying performances began to transform the modern House
Music landscape. Overwhelming support poured in from artists including
Gorgon City, Eats Everything, Jax Jones, Duke Dumont, MK and Claude
Vonstroke, and through a wildly successful career punctuated by
remixes for Kylie Minogue, Robyn, Calvin Harris and Claptone, Weiss
has found himself amongst House Music’s elite sharing stages with
legends including Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden and Pete Tong. His
2018 single “Feel My Needs”, netted an immense amount of critical
acclaim, earned the #1 spot on 5 international music charts, as well
as a spot on the Radio 1 A-List and was voted DJ Magazine’s “Best
of British Winner” for best single of 2018. Weiss is gearing up for
an eventful 2019. Following lucrative bookings at Fabric London and
BPM Festival Mexico, he has confirmed over one hundred shows through
2019, including Creamfields, Electric Zoo and key showcases in Ibiza,
Miami Music Week, and ADE. Weiss makes dance music that speaks
directly to your primal core. So far, it’s been a winning formula,
and even as Weiss gets set to announce a series of scorching records
and collaborations in 2019, his classic tunes continue to find their
way onto the setlists of clubs and airwaves around the world.
