His music might also be its own solar system with otherworldly hip-hop, smoked-out R&B, ambitious pop, and a little rock in a planetary orbit around the multiplatinum singer, songwriter, and artist. It might seem like he hails from some far-away galaxy, but he calls Houston, TX home. Forged in the fires of his hometown’s darkest corners, he ground out a visionary style in underground shows, elevating the post-genre grime and grit of his city into mainstream focus during 2018. Within three years, he gathered billions of streams, scored platinum plaques, and received praise courtesy of everybody from High Snobiety to Interview Magazine. However, it’s all a part of his life—as chronicled on his 2021 second full-length album, Life Of A DON [Cactus Jack/Atlantic Records]. “This is UFO music,” he grins. “I’m on alien-type shit. I sprinkle a little of R&B, rap, rock, and everything else. I’m like a hitchhiker because I pick up different vibes along the way. I mess with it until I can’t anymore. Then, I find another ride. For Life Of A DON, I had my thumb out on the side of the road. When this ride’s over, I’m getting on the next one to wherever I’m going.”

Born in the southern suburbs of Chicago, IL, he has always been an active athlete and focused student determined to follow his dream of becoming a chemical engineer. While he excelled scholastically, he was socially introverted but always committed to finding ways to share his enthusiasm for living.

Key4050

Key4050

As many of the world’s truly outstanding clubs have a habit of doing, Dublin’s Temple Theatre became a lightning rod for embryonic electronic music talent. Post-millennium, it acted as a beacon for a new emerging wave of Irish DJs, who - congregating in the former church’s Space and Crypt club floors, were musically schooled by a succession of superstar DJs. A temple in every sense, it was there, in 2002 that the paths of local Dublin lad Bryan Kearney and John O’Callaghan from up the road in Navan first crossed. An instant musical connection made, after hours, the pair would regularly head to John’s makeshift studio at his apartment in the city’s south inner city. To gain access to that apartment complex, a gate code was required. That code was Key4050. Key4050’s musical lineage was influenced by several producers, but none more so though than Mauro Picotto and his inimitable BXR sound. “Like a god” is how John describes the genre-fusing Italian, and his productions were regularly dissected by the duo in the post-Temple hours. In 2003, at the peak of the Temple’s success (“the best clubbing experiences of my life”, attests O’Callaghan), restoration costs calamitously pushed it into closure. Whilst mourning its loss, conversely, it also spurred an impetus in a new wave of rising DJ/producers. They went on to recast Irish electronic music in their image. With the club playing the most fundamental parts in fomenting their careers, John and Bryan long looked for a way to pay dues to it. The solution lay on hard drives, some dating back over a decade. There, amongst dozens upon dozens of demos, ideas, half-completes, and all-but-there works lay the musical essence of their Temple experiences. So Bryan and John went to work finishing a job that - at the time – they didn’t even know they’d begun.

Len Faki

Len Faki

Few musicians in the underground scene have had the same impact that Len Faki has had during his career spanning over two decades. As an original Berghain resident, he's risen to become one of the most in-demand artists on the circuit, playing in every corner of the world. His performances are an audio-visual adventure where he is not only playing to the crowd but rather performing for and with them. As a label-head, he's released over 130 records on his Figure imprint, giving a necessary platform to predominantly emerging artists. As a producer and, most importantly, an artist, his creative flair knows no bounds, with his sound constantly evolving and never losing the same vibrant, unique energy and passion he puts into his sets. It has been an incredible journey for the Stuttgart native, who moved to Berlin in 2003. It didn't take long for him to establish himself in Germany's burgeoning techno-capital. Having played at Ostgut a few times, he was one of the first residents of the newly formed Berghain, playing the opening night many years ago. Still, not knowing the significance of such a moment at the time, there was a feeling that they were onto something special. His affiliation with Berghain is truly special; there's no other place he's played more, and the club set-up is second nature to him and is where he often tests out new material. The characteristics of an extra long DJ set in what he calls his "living room " inspire him to vary in tone and fully roll out his style to explore and further deepen his mastery of turning a DJ set into a bona fide musical journey.

Also recognised as one half of the well-respected Australian duo, Choomba, who have been endorsed by tastemakers such as The Magician, Claude Von Stroke, Richie Hawtin, Claptone, Riva Starr, and Erick Morillo. Most recently, the production powerhouse released ‘Say It feat. LP Giobbi & Blush’ko’, which had the heavy support of triple j and dance music icons, Martin Jensen and Benny Benassi! LUUDE talks about refining his sound, “I always want to be making stuff that feels exciting - and I’ve been working on this next phase for LUUDE for a while, just trying to find the right elements, so while Choomba was doing its thing last year I’ve been really refining the LUUDE project and I’m excited to return to touring with this new direction, the shows and plans we have are really exciting.” With only a handful of releases under his belt, LUUDE has scored over 30 million streams across his catalogue. Moreover, his singles have also caught the attention of tastemaker outlets Stoney Roads, Pilerats, DJ Times and This Song Is Sick.

Sub Focus

Sub Focus

Throughout a 16-year career, Nick Douwma, aka Sub Focus has risen through the ranks of the underground jungle to become a global dance music superstar. First, building a reputation around air-punching, dancefloor-dismantling drum & bass, he now draws from all corners of the electronic landscape - epitomising the 'anything goes' mantra of today's scene. His journey began in 2003, when he signed his first tunes to drum & bass' biggest label Ram Records, off the back of a CD:R handed to label boss Andy C by one of his friends whilst drunk. Despite this inauspicious introduction, the legendary DJ was so impressed by the content that he duly signed every track and invited Douwma to join the Ram family. Sub Focus' tunes - expansive, fiercely creative, but made with the scientific precision of a military warhead - immediately stood out from the crowd and were soon being rotated by every major DJ in the scene, garnering airplay on mainstream radio and drawing fans from throughout the globe. The next logical step was an album. But as he's shown throughout his career, Douwma wanted to push himself further and create something more encompassing than the often insular confines of drum & bass. Drawing on his love of all strains of dance music, from 80s synth pioneers Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre, through dance leviathans The Chemical Brothers to futuristic house and techno acts like Lindstrom and Matthew Dear, his eponymous debut album released in 2009 featured not only drum & bass but dubstep, old-school breakbeat, bumping house and lashings of electro and rock, all brought together in a taut collection that could only have been made in the 21st century. It was an instant hit. Rather than taking his foot off the gas, the decade since has been similarly successful for one of dance music's enduring stars. Sophomore album Torus was released in 2013, channelling a dancefloor-focused, floor-filling vibe. The 13-track release included 'Endorphins' and 'Turn Back Time', singles that both made it into the UK Top 10, whilst three others made it into the Top 40. Douwma has spent the past few years perfecting his stunning, immersive live show, joining Pendulum on tour, wowing the bulging Glastonbury crowds and selling out Brixton Academy on two occasions. Sub Focus and Dimension's 2018 single 'Desire' has clocked up over 30 million global streams, signifying a new chapter in the story. Moving into 2019, the release of double-single 'Solar System' and 'Siren' conveys an artist who's stayed true to his musical roots throughout his long career.
Sunset Bros

Throughout their 15-year career, the Sunset Bros have released a slew of remixes for acts such as the Black Eyed Peas, Fedde Le Grand, Vengaboys, Bob Sinclair and Cascada.
Taglo

Taglo

Some artists make music to sell records; some artists make music to be famous, some artists make music because they’re good at it... as for Taglo, he makes music to illustrate himself. Having always had a strange allure to music, Taglo found himself drawn to soundscapes from an early age. His experience of growing up living all over the world exposed him to a wide array of music across different cultures. When he discovered artists like Axwell, Tiesto and Deadmau5, he decided to pursue his fascination for music into something more. His journey began in the cosmos of trance, and over the years, he began to slow things down to evolve into a deeper, progressive sound. Talgo's soundscaping is emotive, melodic and meaningful – there’s meaning to his melodies, and there’s drive. Taglo has supported heavy hitters including Above & Beyond, MaRLo, Dirty South, Cosmic Gate, Jody Wisternoff and more. He’s played at some of Australia’s most prestigious festivals, including Elements Festival, Circus Paradise and Babylon Festival. With years of experience under his belt, this Gold Coast artist is no amateur, and it shows with notable releases on labels Alter Ego, Freegrant Music, Skyfall Records, Silk Music and a release out on Anjunadeep in 2021. Taglo holds residences at some of Queensland’s biggest venues, including Platinum, Family and Capulet, whilst running the prominent Eden events in Brisbane and Melbourne.

A long-time producer and friend of Lady Gaga, Tchami has also worked on her earlier hits 'Applause' and 'Sexxx Dreams' from her 2014 album Artpop, cementing his status as one of the industry's most sought-after producers. Following the release of his debut album Year Zero, conceived in LA, Paris and London, Year Zero exudes renewal, a creative rebirth. Drawing on musical culture and various experiences, Year Zero remains very personal regardless of its genre. Amongst the album tracks are standout double-single releases 'Born Again' / 'Buenos Aires' and 'Proud' / 'Ghosts,' as well as collaborations with US grammy-nominated rapper Gunna and singer ZHU. As we head into the new year, Tchami will continue to spearhead his successful label Confession as he braces for the return of global touring in support of his new album.

Australian DJ and producer Tyson O'Brien has unveiled his new single “Bunny”, out now via Good Company Records. A bouncy, high-energy tech-house anthem that pairs pulsating synths with soulful, disco-tinged vocals,“Bunny” is a track that was crafted with the dancefloor in mind. Having previously remixed Halsey’s monster hit “Bad At Love” and Dillon Francis’ heater “Hello There”, his latest single “Tony” was the debut release on his label You Do You. A staple of the Las Vegas circuit with his Hakkasan Group residency, Generik made Europe his summer launchpad, completing two Ibiza residencies at Ushuaïa and Pacha alongside Calvin Harris, Duke Dumont, Martin Solveig, MK and Disciples and making his UK debut at Creamfields. Following a performance at Oliver Heldens & Friends at Amsterdam Dance Event, Generik spoke on a panel alongside Jonas Blue, Martin Jensen, and Riton. He then keeps the never-ending summer going as he heads back home for three shows in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane for Festival X at the end of November.

Hailing from the leafy suburbs of South West London is one of the UK's best-known electronic artists… Wilkinson. His first insight into making music came aged 9 when his parents bought him a drum kit. Mark 'Wilkinson' joined a few bands playing at venues as far as the Birmingham NEC and as close as the local old people's home. This swiftly ended at 14 when Wilkinson discovered his passion for dance music. Fast forward a few years, and Wilkinson has cemented himself as one of the most successful stars in dance music. Following his club anthems 'Tonight', 'Take You Higher', 'Too Close' and countless others… Wilkinson released 'Half Light' charting #20, Dirty Love, which peaked at #10, 'Hopelessly Coping' peaking at #23 on the UK Top 40 and 'Afterglow' which became a top 5 hit on the UK Chart, selling 1.2million copies, racking up over 200 million streams and is certified Platinum. To date, he's sold a mighty 3 million singles and racked up over half a BILLION streams! His debut album 'Lasers Not Included' went to number 1 on the iTunes Dance Chart in 10 countries, and he's toured across the globe performing everywhere from Glastonbury, SW4, Reading & Leeds to EDC Las Vegas, his Ibiza residency at Amnesia and festivals from New York to New Zealand.
