Atlantic City, N.J. – Over the years, DJX has been proud to present a variety of notable talents for its After Dark events – hip-hop pioneers, EDM stars, turntablist trailblazers. In keeping with that tradition, DJX’26 will present a pair of dance-music legends – Jellybean Benitez and Arthur Baker – for its opening-night party on Monday, Aug. 10. Set to rock the decks at HQ2 Nightclub in the Ocean Casino Resort, the deeply influential duo will deliver their massive hits and more – from Benitez’s timeless records with Madonna (like “Holiday” and “Borderline”) and his own hits like “The Mexican” to Baker’s groundbreaking productions like “Planet Rock” and “Looking for the Perfect Beat” (Afrika Bambaataa), “Confusion” (New Order), and “Walking On Sunshine” (Rockers Revenge).
