The Sponges have become well known for their unmistakable signature sound in dance music. The combination of tasteful 70's funk & disco samples, psychedelic sound design, heavy basslines, and 4x4 house rhythms can instantly be recognized as one of The Sponges' finely tuned productions. After having the opportunity to work with many of the artists who originally influenced them including Purple Disco Machine, GRiZ, AC Slater, Kyle Watson, Opiuo, The Floozies, Manic Focus & Lettuce, The Sponges have now established themselves as a respected act of their own in the world of electronic music.
Since their arrival in 2019, The Sponges have been fortunate in their success with millions of streams, five #1 records on Beatport and a massive touring career. The duo, composed by the collective minds of Ryan Slepin and Nik Eaton, have been invited to play some of the top music festivals in the western hemisphere such as Shambhala, Friendship AMF & Envision. After releasing their debut EP and completing their first ever headline tour in 2023, sights are set high!
Over the last ten years, N2N has become broadly recognized for his blistering marathon sets fueled by infectiously joyful house music.
In 2018, he was mentioned by Billboard in its list of the nine best sets from Burning Man, as his yearly sunrise performance has garnered a cult-like following. A lifelong student of music, his sets seamlessly blending genres have become crowd favorites across the country. In the studio, his versatility shines through, as his quirky feel-good style has 'landed him major label signings as well as support from the world’s biggest DJs, including Fatboy Slim, Chris Lake, David Guetta, and Idris Elba. 2023 saw N2N root himself firmly in the scene with a slew of releases on Glasgow Underground, deadmau5's house imprint hau5trap, and Insomniac, while his debut on the effervescent Repopulate Mars awaits in 2024. He has cemented himself as one of the genre's brightest rising stars.
Beyond the decks, Nick has become an outspoken advocate for mental health and suicide awareness. A survivor himself, he hopes to use his platform to break down the stigma associated with depression and encourage others in similar situations to speak freely in a time heavily dictated by external appearance. In his spare time, you’ll find him tending to his gargantuan plant collection or whispering sweet nothings to his cats Bucket & Shoe.
