Dawn Patrol Open Air: Maz & Antdot extended set

Dawn Patrol make their summer debut at The Cause ft. an extended b2b from label heads Maz & Antdot on July 24th. Yes, please! A dance over sunset on the sun-kissed Cause terrace, to the sounds of Maz & Antdot's uplifting house grooves and a custom Dawn Patrol production install, is a summer spectacle, not to be missed. A sound that's meant to be heard open air under the sun, Dawn Patrol is the brainchild of friends Maz and Antdot, blending sound, lifestyle, and positive energy, with authenticity at its core. The label made it's UK debut back in December with a landmark sold out Roundhouse showcase. Having seen the energy Maz and Antdot brought to the rounds, we can’t wait to see the magic they bring to their first open air session.
