Dave P & Sammy Slice (Making Time, PA)
A match made in Philadelphia, Making Time DJs Dave P and Sammy Slice are paving a road filled with futuristic sounds and dj sets sought after by some of the biggest names in dance music. Individually drawing sold out crowds in the thousands at home and in New York, it wasn’t till the duo found themselves playing on the same night on a Sunday night in a small basement club till their potential together was fully realized. A sharp ear for what’s next and meticulous selection from the first record to the last, Dave and Sammy are set to bring the spotlight back where it belongs, the dance floor.
In their short time together, Dave and Sammy have been sought after from all sides of the dance music community, playing major dance music events like Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival and the highly acclaimed Philadelphia Experiment (PEX) Festival as well as sold out shows along side artists such as La Roux and Afrojack and upcoming shows with Simian Mobile Disco and Cut Copy. Together the duo is set to make a global impact on the new musical galaxy and there couldn’t be a better time for it.
