Hotel Garuda, composed of DJ/producer duo Manila Killa & Candleweather, will be in downtown Seattle on Friday, November 17th at the Showbox for an exciting and lively show near Pike Place Market.
Hotel Garuda epitomizes the DIY culture of modern dance music. Scaling the online tastemaker world with an array of remixes and remakes, their versatile sound has continued to receive attention far beyond the music forums, garnering them more than 30 million streams on SoundCloud alone.

Their run of four official remixes & consecutive #1’s on the Hype Machine charts have also seen Hotel Garuda accompanied by critical acclaim from Billboard, Harper’s Bazaar, and Complex. Since their inception, Hotel Garuda has been solicited for official remixes from Lorde, Lana Del Ray, BANKS and more. They have also gone on to play at large music festivals such as Coachella, HARD Summer, Miami Music week and Snowglobe.
Their well deserved climb to fame can be attributed to their unique sound. Comparable to The Him or Louis The Child, Hotel Garuda’s music is upbeat and exciting but also has a very beautiful flow to it. Their most popular song on Spotify is “Fixed on You” with almost 3.5 million plays.
Accompanying Hotel Garuda at the Showbox is SAINT WKND, a 22 year old German electronic music producer. He originally was inspired to make music after working in Spain for three months and having multiple people urge him to follow his passion. When SAINT WKND creates music, he attempts to spread good vibes to his audience. Some of his biggest influences are Daft Punk, Flume, Kaytranada, and Disclosure. To get a better feel for SAINT WKND’s music, listen to his song “Lost (Runaway)” below:
You can experience all the energy for yourself on Friday at 8:00 PM at The Showbox Theater! Hotel Garuda plus SAINT WKND will put on a show you don’t want to miss. Find ticket prices and information here.
