With their latest invention, the duo breathe life back into the sleeping giant that is Chicago House Music.

Two of the tracks have already placed in top 100 sales positions on Beatport. Either together or separately Justin and Mazi have rocked dance floors the world over playing venues such as Fabric, Sub Club, Crystal (Istanbul), Back to Basics, Club Q (Zürich), Masai (Varna), Shindig (New Castle), Zouk (Singapore), Vinyl, Concorde Atlantique (Paris), Redlight (Paris), Space (Ibiza), Pacha (Buenos Aires) and Decadance (Ghent). They are presently working on a live WCY show debuting at Smart Bar in mid December of this year. They've already scored their first WCY DJ residency at Vinyl in Denver, Colorado. The future couldn't be brighter for this dynamic duo. Follow-ups and new signings are already in the works.
