9/5: Gareth Emery @ Maya Day and Nightclub
Gareth Emery, one of the hottest trance and progressive house DJs on tour, is set to perform at Maya Day and Nightclub this Friday. The England native was ranked No. 9 in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 poll in 2009 and has continually proven why since his first vinyl release, a remix of “Nervous Breakdown” by The Shrink, broadcasted on BBC Radio 1. Emery has consistently composed, produced and engineered his records and played them all over the world at hundreds of high-end clubs and festivals. This young Brit has gone international and will be stationed right here in Arizona lighting up the dance floor and giving a performance you won’t want to miss!
