DJ-Producer César Murillo
Galloping rhythms, sultry beats, sexy vocal hooks, and uplifting messages—this magical formula defines DJ/Producer César Murillo, also known as Cubandawg. A staple of Canada’s largest Pride celebrations, César headlined iconic events like SQUIRT and AQUA (2001–2006), with multiple "Best Party of the Year" accolades from FAB Magazine as well as International Gigs like Puerto Vallarta NYE and Latin Fever.
With formal training as an industrial engineer, César brings meticulous precision to his music. His productions are infused with evolving melodies, gritty yet warm basslines, and percussive rhythms that combine Latin grooves with modern house energy. His signature sound and unmatched ability to read the dance floor create unforgettable experiences filled with euphoria and movement.
In the studio, César has collaborated with renowned artists such as JUNO winners Ian Nieman and Gavo, Eddie X, Pepper Mashay, Corey Andrew, Niki Haris, and Alan T. His track "Don’t You Want My Love?", co-produced with Corey Andrew, and a remix of Pepper Mashay’s "Dancefloor" showcase his evolving artistry. With over 90 mixes released in the past 10 years, his music is widely available on Beatport, iTunes, and all major platforms, earning international DJ support.
César’s reputation for "big room" events has placed him playing alongside legends like Peter Rauhofer, Victor Calderon, Tony Moran, and Tracy Young, performing at clubs like CIRCA, KOOLHOUSE, Cabana, BOA, FLY and more. He also holds Toronto’s longest DJ residency at Steamworks, where he experiments with underground sounds before sharing them with the world.
Whether commanding Pride festivals, producing chart-topping tracks, or creating layered sets brimming with euphoria, drama, and soul, César Murillo remains a force of passion and innovation in dance music.
