Live From The Riviera: Day 1 - Nick León

On Friday, May 8, 2026, Live From The Riviera opens at Ocean Artworks Pavilion on Granville Island, Vancouver, with Miami producer Nick León in the spotlight. Known for reshaping Latin club through a modern, experimental lens, León brings a live set that folds reggaeton and dembow into taut, minimalist club rhythms. Sub-bass pressure, off-kilter percussion and clipped vocal fragments sketch a kinetic framework built for an open-air floor, where grooves turn on fine rhythmic shifts and percussive detail.

Special guest ZDBT steps in with a live performance driven by agile drum programming and sleek synth work, threading crisp patterns into lean, dance-ready structures. Rounding out Day 1, the SI HAY PERREO crew assemble Trajinera b2b Valentina for a perreo-forward session that moves through dembow, edits and tightly paced club tracks. A focused bill and three distinct approaches to the dance: Nick León’s live mutations at the core, flanked by ZDBT and the SI HAY PERREO selectors, all tuned to the Pavilion’s outdoor energy.
