Week after week in association with Wavo.me we provide you guys with these opening set DJ competitions for festivals all over North America, all of which feature the biggest names in music today, but for some reason this one stands out from the rest. Running now until September 2nd, Earmilk will be giving you a chance to play alongside one of the most respected names in deep house today, Art Department, when they play till 4am at one of our favourite venues, Cinema in Toronto on September 6th.

Art Department, made up of Kenny Glasgow & Jonny White, have arguably been Toronto’s greatest dance music export in recent memory, making waves in the deep house community with legendary sets over the past few years since forming in 2009. They recently released their first remix in what they say is the first of many originals to come this year, something we’ve all been longing for lately from the duo. Check it out below and visit the competition page on Wavo.me to submit your mix to play at their Cinema homecoming in a few weeks!
