in WHISTLER BC. More details on the event are below.
Austin Leeds is that kind of modest musical genius who doesn� mention his amazing body of work or long, successful career when you first meet him. Instead he�l drag you into his studio to get your opinion on his next track, always striving to improve and innovate. And with the huge number of quality tunes he churns out, you could be in there for a while.
Austin first rose to prominence with a string of hits on John Digweed� Bedrock label in 2000, and quickly started seeing his music everywhere. It wasn� long before Leeds' music had found a honored spot in the record bags of all the DJ heavyweights: Danny Tenaglia, Erick Morillo, DJ Vibe, Oscar G, Deep Dish, John Digweed, Sander Kleinenberg, and Superchumbo, to name a few. In one year alone, Austin had five of his tracks played on Pete Tong� BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, by DJs Deep Dish, Murk, Sharam, Armin Van Burren, and Seb Fontaine.
Originally from Miami, a town that is no stranger to dance music, Austin recently settled in Las Vegas, that other sun-drenched capital of sonic hedonism, just down the street from good friend and production partner Nick Terranova. Austin� collaborative partnership with Nick has been a long and successful one. The Terranova
