. The French duo have become one of the most exciting acts in electronic music, bringing their dynamic sound and high-impact performances to stages around the world—and now, they’re set to light up Brooklyn.

Oden & Fatzo first made their mark with their celebrated house edit of Men I Trust’s 

, which has surpassed 80 million streams on Spotify. Their profile quickly skyrocketed following a standout Boiler Room set at the 2022 FLY Open Air Festival, where they showcased their eclectic mix of UK garage, uptempo minimal, and house infused with funk, jazz, and hip-hop influences.
