Sandy Rivera
Sandy Rivera is responsible for some of the finest dance-floor tracks of our time. If you love electronic music then you have definitely danced to his efforts at one time or another. After doing the rounds on the dance floor for a couple of years "Finally" became an anthem of the early noughties. A gold-plated house music anthem which picked up a clutch of gongs, including a Pacha Award for Best Ibiza Tune and a Muzik magazine award for Tune of the Year. While "Young hearts" featured on UK TV commercials. Sandy's ability to play tough, techy and minimal on any given day and soulful funk the next has made him a captivating and diverse force to be reckoned with. Don't miss the musical genius in action.
