G-Eazy
US rapper G-Eazy will grace the stage at Base this weekend as part of their birthday celebrations. You may not have heard of him, but there’s a very good chance you’ll have listed to one of his catchy tracks such as “Him & I”, “No Limit” and “Me, Myself & I”. You will almost certainly have heard his super successful “The Beautiful & Damned”. He’s performed on the same bill as Drake, Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne so it’s bound to be good.

DJ Solomun
Beatport’s number one deep house spinner, and somewhat Dubai regular, DJ Solomun is back in town to put on a masterclass of his signature style. If you’ve never been to one of his gigs, you’re in for a treat. He’s known for creating sets that are fused with all things house music (obviously), especially the kind that comes with a hypnotic European flavour. So you should expect to be bouncing to his beats all night long.
