SIDEPIECE

Sidepiece is an American DJ and production duo formed in 2019 by Dylan Ragland, who performs as Party Favor, and Ricky Mears, who performs as Nitti Gritti. The two producers first connected via direct message to exchange track ideas, building a creative partnership that began as an experiment between two established artists with distinct individual styles. Ragland had developed a reputation within the bass music and trap space through releases on Mad Decent and international festival touring. Mears grew up in Haiti, where his parents served as Christian missionaries, and developed his music production skills in the United States, where his solo career included co-producing the track '200 MPH' alongside Diplo on Bad Bunny's landmark X 100PRE album — a record that won a Latin Grammy Award and stands as one of Latin music's most commercially significant releases of its era. The partnership between two artists with these backgrounds — one rooted in American bass music and festival touring, the other with Latin music production credits and an international upbringing — shaped a Sidepiece sound that blends accessible house hooks with a dancefloor-first production philosophy. Their second single as Sidepiece, 'On My Mind,' released in 2020 as a collaboration with Diplo, accumulated more than 222 million streams on Spotify and earned a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording — one of the Recording Academy's most competitive electronic music categories, which that year also nominated Disclosure, Madeon, and Flume. The Grammy nomination positioned Sidepiece as a headline-level act beyond the tech house specialist circuit, expanding their booking profile into venues and festivals that serve broader electronic music audiences. Additional catalog tracks — 'Temptation,' 'Acrobatic,' 'Sextacy,' and 'Who Created Love' — extended the Sidepiece discography while maintaining the groove-heavy, mid-tempo tech house and house music sound that defines their production signature: basslines engineered for dancefloor impact, accessible melodic hooks, and high-energy DJ set integration optimized for large venue formats. Their 2026 touring production, the HORNY HOUSE TOUR, situates their Strip residency within a broader international concert schedule. Their Las Vegas residency at LIV at Fontainebleau and LIV Beach entered its third consecutive year in 2026, establishing them among the most consistent annual headliners at the Fontainebleau property. LIV at Fontainebleau, which opened in December 2023 as part of the 67-story Fontainebleau Las Vegas tower, has become a Strip destination for tech house and bass music programming alongside its hip-hop bookings, and Sidepiece's multi-year residency represents sustained venue loyalty from both sides of that booking relationship. Confirmed 2026 Las Vegas dates include LIV Beach appearances on August 9 and August 22 (Supabase-verified), a LIV Nightclub performance on September 19, and additional Strip appearances earlier in the year including LIV dates in May and July and an LIV Beach booking on August 1.
