Hailing from Zurich, Switzerland, Sons of Maria is a prolific dance outfit that makes essential house music in many different styles from deep to tropical to driving to progressive and future house. The Swiss project first emerged in 2015 and since then has put out eight fascinating EPs. The labels they have worked with include disco:wax, Enormous Tunes and No Deifniton and their influences take in chill wave, downtempo and lush pop as well as club facing house grooves. Tracks like “Where You Want Me At” and “Love Is” have been streamed hundreds of thousands of times online as well as soundtracking clubs around the world.

Sons of Maria have also collaborated with the likes of Angelika Vee, Nadia Ali, Alok, Nora En Pure and have gave remixed The Golden Pony amongst others. From Miami Beach to Washington DC, World Club Dome in Frankfurt Germany to Johannesburg, this man and woman twosome have taken their fresh sets to many different places and always impress. Mixing up the old with the new, they have their own unique style which has made them one of the fastest rising pairs in the global scene. BBC Radio has played plenty of their tracks and their Tracy Chapman sampling “You & I” proved one of their biggest cuts. Right now they are in a fine run of form in the studio and the DJ booth and bring the heat to any party at which they play. The future, then, is just as bright as the recent past for this expressive musical partnership.

The GlamCocks are a far-flung family of burners, and our gatherings strive to create a fun, energetic, body-positive, open-minded, and pro-LGBTQ space that invites participation and self-expression for everyone who wants to participate. Our goal as a community is to create a space that is welcoming, fun, whimsical, glamorous, transformational, and memorable for all. All proceeds from our events go toward funding art projects, nightlife offerings and community workshops at Burning Man and a portion of our fundraisers go to local LGBTQ-focuses charities.
