TEESH presents Jex Opolis

August 11th, 2018

After our outstanding 5am party for Sneaky Pete’s 10th Birthday with Jamie Tiller, we bring you another Edinburgh debut…

All the way from Brooklyn, New York City, we present Jex Opolis!

Jex Opolis is a producer-musician-DJ of inescapable quality. His career is teeming with truly brilliant releases, parties and mixes. He’s been a hero of ours for years and we are thrilled to bring him to Sneakys for another 5am furnace fiesta.

Jexy specializes in stunning, synth-heavy cuts. He deservedly has one of the most consistently high review scores on RA and acclaim across all music press after a decade of dancefloor singles, EPs, remixes and his incredible album ‘Ravines’. Originally from Edmonton, Canada but an NYC resident for years, he set up his own label ‘Good Timin’ in 2013, has since sold out of every release and played all over the world on his own terms.

In his most recent run of success, he has worked with Gerd Janson (Running Back), Andre Kelman (Phoenix, the Beastie Boys), Mark Barrott (International Feel) and CZ Wang (Mood Hut) – which further solidifies his unique place in electronic music. “Jex manages to connect the dots across genres and scenes in a way that allows him to float above them.

*DJ Cheers joins him in the booth to drop bangers all over the gaff.

Limited £5 early-bird tickets available now on RA!
