Second Sun has become one of the biggest live dance acts in the world.The Montreal-born Antoine and Adam were first discovered by superstarDJ Paul Van Dyk when he was handed a copy of their first track “Empire”at legendary club Twilo in New York. Not only did the German DJ signthem to his label Vandit, but also collaborated with the duo on thesingle “Crush” from his “Reflections” album. The chart topping singlebecame a trance anthem, the album earned a Grammy nomination and aftermore hugely popular singles with Vandit, Second Sun’s reputation as aquality dance act was already proven.
It was in 2006 that Second Sun started making waves in the house scene.After their remix of Queen’s “Another one Bites the Dust” became one ofthe biggest tracks of 2006’s winter music conference, the remixrequests came poring in from artists like Sander Kleinenberg & TheShapeshifters and labels like Ministry of Sound, Toolroom, and UltraRecords. Another important remix was for Sharam’s massive hit “PARTYALL THE TIME”, which also featured Antoine’s vocals. In 2008, even therock world came in with remix requests, notably the internationnallyrenowned band 30 Seconds to Mars for their single «A Beautiful Lie»(Virgin/EMI).
That’s just on the production tip. Second Sun is also a live actthat can destroy any club or festival stage. They do it every weekendplaying shows all over North & South American and Europe. Andhaving played festivals like Global Gathering (UK), Ultra MusicFestival (US), Gatecrasher Summer Soundsystem (UK), Planet Love(Ireland), the South American Music Conference (Argentina &Ecuador), Nocturnal Wonderland (US), the Summer Dance Festival(Colombia), HMF (Brazil) and Bal en Blanc (Canada), Antoine and Adamthrive in front of giant crowds that have reached the 20 000 mark.They've also rocked the world's leading clubs in cities like New York,Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Miami, Mexico City,Chicago, Sao Paulo and countless others. Even less obvious countriesfrom El Salvador to Lithuania have been graced with the Second Sunsound.
“We’re trying to bring a certain element of showmanship back todance music. We’re not Djs, we’re live musical performers. Since wecome from a rock band backround, we’ve always wanted to bring arock-show like feel to dance music” says the classically-trainedfrontman Antoine.
The boys from Second Sun are definitely crowd favorites here in Chicago, and we've decided to have them back to help us bang out what's left of 2008!
