Get ready to dance the night away with local international sensation DJ Pete Daisy! Known for topping the Global Mixcloud charts, Pete is bringing his bass-bending tribal and hypnotic grooves to the first two Upraise nights.

Lose yourself in the music as Pete seamlessly mixes beats that'll keep you on the dance floor for hours. "I love seeing people embrace the joy of dancing together," says Pete.

While Ecstatic Dance sets are new territory for him, he's excited to share fantastic music and lose it to the music with all of you. If the first two nights go well, we'll be hosting fortnightly events starting mid-April after Pete's DJ tour in the French/Swiss Alps.
