Gordon Huntley & Erick Muise joined forces as Botnek back in 2008 in Halifax, Nova Scotia through a shared love for house music. With a shortage of inspiration in the form of nightclubs and generally an unlikely scene for the quiet seaside Canadian town, Gordon & Erick bonded over Ableton tips, dance music blogs and late night radio shows on BBC Radio 1. Soon after forming a strong friendship through similar musical interests, the project was formed, which led to a string of releases with a number of up & coming fidget & electro house labels. The guys landed a couple of key remix opportunities from this early buzz around the project from names including Crookers, AC Slater, Felix Cartal & Jack Beats. In this first chapter of their careers, the duo toured first in Europe and Asia, in clubs such as Fabric, Sub Club, and Bootshaus.

It wasn't much longer until Dim Mak Records & Steve Aoki were interested in signing the project to the label. From the signing to Dim Mak came a number of singles & EPs, tours in America, and their viral edit of Martin Garrix’s hit “Animals”. The duo gained far more attention from this than ever expected, and started the next chapter in their career. Shifting styles into more main stage ready Electro House and Big Room, the duo began touring internationally. More singles for Dim Mak followed, along with another viral remix.  This time for The Chainsmokers' “#SELFIE”, which really put Botnek on the map. Collaborations with Zedd, 3lau, Loudpvck & Snails soon followed as well as an even heavier touring schedule. Since then, Botnek have toured the globe in almost every continent, have played on some of the biggest festival stages in the world including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival & more, and have done a Las Vegas residency with Steve Aoki.

Almost a decade later, in the summer of 2017, the Botnek boys reached a major turning point. The once dance music class clowns felt an urge to evolve their sound; to shift the project away from the festival Big Room sound, and back to the roots of the project.  After years of touring, both Gordon & Erick realized they had almost subconsciously stopped creating the kind of music that had originally fueled the formation of Botnek in the first place, all those years ago in Halifax. It was time for the next chapter in their careers and they decided to take a leap. They released a song called "Don't Need U" on their own independent label imprint World Famous Headquarters. The track had the quirky house sound they bonded over when they first met and shared such a deep love for. From there, the duo has released a number of tracks in this musical vein, each one a deeper dive back into the diverse & ever-expanding world of house music.

In 2018, Botnek decided to take things a step further with this World Famous Headquarters imprint by launching a monthly radioshow. They launched World Famous Radio in partnership with SiriusXM’s Insomniac Radio, as a sort of homage to the radio shows they first loved on BBC Radio 1. After fully realizing the amount of talent existing amongst their peers and the next generation of young producers, the guys opened up the doors of the World Famous Headquarters label to outside artists for the first time in the fall of 2018. The label's sound will consist of Botnek's filter of wacky house music inspired by those early fidget & electro house days Gordon & Erick are still so inspired by today.

DJ SPAZZ has been at the forefront of Arizona’s Hard Dance scene since the early years, back when underground raves were word of mouth events held in dark, dingy storage warehouses. Back then raves were very different, consisting of a hundred misfits sweating in a forgotten building somewhere in Phoenix, surrounding a small stage as the sounds of Hard Trance and Breaks filled the air. He began his journey here amongst the outcasts and urchins, drawn into the sounds of Hard Dance. Hometown heroes such as Rize, Starr & Sixxx, DJ Skye and MC Berzerk frequented the stage and Spazz was front and center for each and every performance. 

Eventually Spazz found himself in front of a pair of decks and together with his best friend Devin aka (Grem) developed a style that blended the sweet harmonic melodies of Darren Styles, Breeze, Fracus, Brisk and Ham with the harder basslines and laser-driven sounds of Partycore from the minds of artists like Stormtrooper & D-Lyte, Orbit1, Marc Smith and Scott Brown. Drawing inspiration from these artists, the boys created the perfect mixture of Happy Hardcore that became their signature sound. Together they formed a tag team duo that mirrored their idols Rize & Sixxx with a fresh new take on the scene.

Spazz and Grem quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the Valley’s brightest new tag teams. The boys were performing two to three times a weekend to some of the largest crowds the Arizona rave community has ever seen. Realizing that they could organize bigger and better music events, they formed TMC Entertainment. 

Grem and Spazz began planning their own raves which skyrocketed them into the world of promoting. Powersurge began to take form and over the years grew to become one of Arizona’s legendary annual events. Shows like the Freeze Music Festival and America’s Next Top Raver became the most anticipated nights of the year. They hosted infamous Hard Dance acts such as The Organ Donors, Joey Riot, Showtek, Last of the Mohicans, Evil Activities, Brisk & Fracus, Tatanka, Stormtrooper & D-Lyte, Orbit1, Frontliner and Impact to name a few. TMC events would regularly sell out in an hour and oftentimes the venue would hit max capacity by ten o’clock. It was common to see lines stretching across the street and around the corner filled with smiling faces, colorful clothing, plastic beads and neon paint. These nights would go down in history as some of the most wild and exciting events held in Phoenix.
