Ontildawn With The Assist

On Saturday, November 26th, we are opening up for the the biggest DJ in house music...literally. We will be handling the opening duties for ex-Miami Heat star turned club-rocking DJ, Rony Seikaly at Gryphon. We are big fans of Rony's productions and feel our sound will work well together to create one killer post Thanksgiving party! Saturday will be a night of top-notch house music, so come and burn some Thanksgiving calories with us on the dance floor!

It's Celebration Time!

We love it when a new nightclub opens, especially in our hometown. We love the excitment, the anticipation, the feel of brand new gear, the sound of new speakers, and the latest lighting technology shining bright. On Saturday, we have the pleasure of playing the Grand Opening of 15 West, a beautiful new dance club in the Westside of downtown Fort Lauderdale. This night holds extra special meaning as we are celebrating our birthdays...literally, all of them. We have three scorpios in the Ontildawn crew and this opening party will serve as the perfect platform to celebrate in proper fashion. Come check out the swanky new digs and a plethora of hot tunes served up by three birthday boys!

Mekka Miami

Tonight we hit Mekka Miami....hard. We're traveling to downtown MIA, home of house music and the 24 hour liquor license. Mekka happens to be a renowned player in the Miami afterhours scene, seeing a recent facelift which includes new sound, lights, and decor. We're more than excited about the opportunity to spin at Mekka, so be sure to get there early as our set starts at 1:30AM.

Re: Julio

One year ago today, we lost our brother and dear friend Julio Buenano. Since that time, not a day has passed where he wasn’t present in our thoughts and prayers. Julio had many different roles in his life; he was a father, a son, a brother, and an amazing friend. His hands in the air, smile on my face approach to life attracted people to him instantly, and his energy and kind heart allowed him to amass friends by the hundred, (which was quantified by the 300 people who attended his funeral). Julio introduced us to dance music. He fed us these new sounds by the truckload, he got us into the best clubs in the city, and he owned the dance floor every time! Julio gave us the confidence to pursue DJ’ing and for that we are eternally grateful.

Julio Buenano passed away at age 30. But, don’t ever feel sorry for him. In his 30 years on this planet he lived more than any of us; he traveled the world (literally), he saved lives as an emergency room nurse, he was a champion water polo player, he fathered a beautiful baby girl (Lucia), he rocked nightclubs all over South Florida as a DJ, he was the first to show up and the last to leave, and he lived every single day of his life smiling and dancing like he was on vacation. There will forever be a hole in our hearts, but fond memories and funny stories of Julio allow us to press on. If you had the opportunity to meet Julio, I’m sure you have a story about how he has positively influenced your life in some way. If you never met Julio, you can still learn from him…Live life with no regret, fill your heart with love, and dance your ass off! We will always love you brother!
LIVE. LOVE. NEVER STOP DANCING!

Monarchy

This Friday, we're heading north to bring the Ontildawn sound to Monarchy Nightclub in West Palm Beach. Monarchy reigns supreme in WPB nightlife and is the only establishment in the city that consistently provides proper dance music. This is our first gig at this venue, so needless to say, we are pulling out all the stops. Our set is from 1-4AM, so come with those shoes laced tight, because it's going to be high energy all night!

You Tube-A-Palooza

Taking a break from tearing up South Florida's club scene lately? Have you traded in your weekends at Gryphon for weekends at Bed, Bath, and Beyond? Is the belt on your robe the only velvet rope you touch? Well, we wish we could say that you have not missed anything, but we would be lying. So for all you couch commandos out there, we decided to post a couple videos of some recent Ontildawn gigs. Enjoy them in between your Dancing with the Stars marathon. And for all our party people...we'll see you on the dancefloor!

Get Elevated!

Ontildawn has been working tirelessly in the studio for a few month's now, and things are really starting to click. Each member of OTD has a very distinct style of music when DJ'ing, which will now be expressed in original productions. Eric D has always had a passion for the darker side of dance music, namely techno. This week, Eric has released a new EP called Elevation on Subtec Records. The EP includes Jump (Original Mix), So high (Original Mix), and Jump (Secret Grooves Remix). Jump takes you on a wide ride to the dark side with it's deep bassline, ghost like pads, and a distinct vocal "Jump." So high is a more mellow techno track with a sexy vocal and groovy flow. Grap a copy on Beatport and all major online stores. Enjoy!

Never Stop Dancing

Our residency, Never Stop Dancing at Gryphon Nightclub has grown into something special over its short, six month span. We set out to throw a wild party at a dope nightclub with a banging soundsystem, but now it has taken a new shape. The Never Stop Dancing name was given after the passing of our best friend and Ontildawn member Julio Buenano in October of 2010. The NSD party at the end of October was held in his honor and served as a forum for a fundraiser, which we were able to raise over $5,000 for his memorial fund. Now the party has meaning, we dance with a purpose. Every party is a celebration of life and an opportunity to honor those who have impacted each and every one of us. We ask that attendees bring an open mind, a smiling face, and a good pair of dancing shoes. This Friday, April 29th, we put the outside world aside and let music take over.

Come "Swing" With Us

We proud to announce a new chapter in Ontildawn history. We have been making serious progress in the studio and are now producing the music we all love so much. Look out for releases from Ontildawn and it's member's in the VERY near future. To kick it all off we have Eric D's Swing Track out on Urbanized Records as part of a Miami Sampler Compilation on April 29th. Grab a copy on Beatport. Swing Track has a funky tech house groove sure to make those booties move on the dance floor. Enjoy!

OntilDawn Radio Launch Party= Success

ONTILDAWN Radio Launch party at Exit 66 propelled our Second Sunday pool party series to new heights. Beautiful weather and sexy music attracted party people far and wide for this momentous occasion. Physical copies of the mix were passed out along with a champagne toast (just to keep it classy). The 8 pm Fort Lauderdale noise ordinance did not slow things down a bit, as we moved the party inside the club and jacked the speakers loud! The record turnout, classic house tracks, and extended set inside was enough to etch this party into the ONTILDAWN record books! Thanks again for the love and support.

Launch Party

Tomorrow we will be launching ONTILDAWN RADIO the only way we know how....with a wild party. Our legendary pool party, Second Sunday will serve as the perfect forum to celebrate episode 001 with lots of free giveaways, drink specials, oh yeah...and a raging pool party. Be sure to get over to Exit 66 tomorrow!

ONTILDAWN RADIO

ONTILDAWN RADIO is officially "open for business". This new podcast will be dedicated to the very best in club music. We are proud to present edisode 001, a high energy journey into house music featuring new tracks from the hottest labels and artists. We want the show to be interactive so feel free to comment on the mix or send us music for future shows. A tracklisting of this episode is available upon request. Subscribe to the show via iTunes or listen through the Soundcoud player on the OTD Radio page. Enjoy the show!

The Phoenix Rises

In the fickle nightclub industry, Gryphon has stood the test of time. Week after week, wide-eyed revelers make the pilgrimage to this Fort Lauderdale dance Mecca. They descend upon Gryphon's prime location in the Seminole Hard Rock's entertainment complex and eagerly await a nod from the familiar doormen to slide past the velvet ropes. Once inside, the senses are overwhelmed with sight and sound. A state of the art lighting setup plays tricks on the eyes, while the ears are treated to pulsating sound delivered by a Funktion One system. World class DJs act as captains guiding the musical journey throughout the night.

Proprietors John J. Surgent and Michael Ault have decided to take the club to the next level with the addition of The Phoenix, an indulgent ultra VIP experience. ON TIL DAWN had the opportunity to sneak a peek at the new space, and we believe that a new standard has been set in nightlife entertainment. They have decided to unveil The Phoenix in proper fashion on Friday, April 8th with George Acosta. His second and hugely anticipated full-length studio album, Visions Behind Expressions dropped on April 5th and will set the perfect soundtrack for a high-energy night. Don't miss out!

Full Support

Fresh off his new release The World is Beautiful on Erick Morillo's Subliminal Records and a string of fire hot events during MMW (Miami Music Week) Ex-Miami Heat big man Rony Siekaly is bringing his talents to South Beach. Headlining his own night at the world famous LIV night club in the Fontainebleu Miami Beach. This will be an evening to remember that features a mixture of sexy vocal edits exclusive to the Subliminal starting rotation and bass driven Tech-House that is the quintessential Miami sound. Look for the OnTilDawn crew to be dropping imaginary J's from the dance floor, or setting a pick and roll on a Miami fashionista, we will do anything to show our love and respect for this DJ giant.

OTD in Action

The Sound of Spring

We promised you lots of cool stuff, and we're not ones to break promises. So, we decided to start things off right. Every March we mix The Sound of Spring, a compilation of tracks that represent the feeling of South Florida in the Springtime. Beautiful blue skies and long, sunny days set the mood for this mix, which then turns into the darker percussive rhythms of Miami nights. Enjoy!
