This will be a Balearic evening. A soulful house evening. A techno banger. An evening with room for surprises. One with high regard to technical prowess and track selection. There's always a bounce when Yours Truly and DJ Natty (The Night Mayor) play. Yours Truly is part of the young guard while DJ Natty (The Night Mayor) has been protecting us for many late nights. A perfect, complimentary balance. Bring your dancing shoes, Night People.
DJ Natty (The Night Mayor)
has grown his following and dance floor sensibility through unwavering support for his local scene and relentless listening sessions, promoting shows and festivals and grooving to other DJs for the past 20 years. At times departing from the 4/4 foundation of his first love of house music he keeps his sets diverse, showcasing many aspects (and tempos) of dance music, old and new. Natty has played an integral role using his skills as a commercial real estate broker to help venues secure spaces for creating music and dancing in the city of Victoria, and was recently dubbed by a local dj and venue operator as “The Night Mayor”. Accepting of his newly gifted title, The Night Mayor currently has a residency at the Downbeat, (a venue he assisted in site selection and lease negotiations) called Public Hearing! showcasing local and out of town talent with a focus on good times on the dance floor.
