Above & Beyond

Trance

HEADLINER

Formed in London, the trio of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki stands as a foundational force in modern trance and progressive house. Their output is defined by emotive songwriting, soaring synth melodies, and a signature tension that prioritizes communal experience over aggressive club tropes. Key releases include the seminal album Tri-State from 2006 on Anjunabeats and the 2011 anthem Sun & Moon, which solidified their crossover appeal. Through their Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep labels, they have cultivated a global community centered on their Group Therapy radio show and recurring festival showcases. They continue to headline major stages worldwide while maintaining a production aesthetic that balances pop-leaning vocal hooks with expansive, atmospheric arrangements. Their enduring influence lies in their ability to bridge the gap between intimate, song-driven storytelling and the scale of stadium-sized electronic music.

Oliver Heldens

House

HEADLINER

Hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands, Oliver Heldens emerged as a pivotal figure in modern dance music by pioneering the future house sound. His breakthrough track Gecko, released on Spinnin Records in 2014, redefined mainstream club production with its distinctive bouncy basslines and infectious vocal hooks. Beyond his primary project, he operates the darker, techno-oriented alias HI-LO and manages the Heldeep Records imprint alongside his long-running Heldeep Radio show. He maintains a consistent presence at major global festivals and high-profile club residencies, balancing accessible crossover hits with more experimental, driving studio work. His production style remains defined by precise sound design, rhythmic swing, and a signature blend of pop-sensibility and club-ready energy. Heldens remains a central architect of the contemporary festival sound, bridging the gap between underground house roots and global commercial appeal.

Eli & Fur

Melodic Techno

London based duo Eliza Noble and Jennifer Skillman, known as Eli and Fur, craft a signature sound defined by moody atmospheres, evocative vocal performances, and driving melodic house arrangements. Their production style balances dark, introspective textures with polished, dancefloor ready synth work and rolling basslines. Notable releases include the atmospheric You are High on Anjunadeep and the collaborative hit Walk the Line with Camelphat on Crosstown Rebels. The pair maintains a consistent presence on global stages such as Coachella, Printworks, and Tomorrowland while operating their own imprint, NYX Music. Their work bridges the gap between emotive songwriting and club functionality, establishing them as a distinct voice in the contemporary melodic house and techno landscape.

Nicky Elisabeth

Progressive

Nicky Elisabeth sits in that melodic house and techno lane, but she is a lot more nuanced than the generic “afterlife-style” tag people throw around too easily. Her sound has a real sense of elegance and propulsion to it. You get hypnotic grooves, emotional synth work, and that polished late-night feel, but usually with enough tension and movement to keep it from drifting into background music. Coming out of the Netherlands and later aligning with spaces like De Marktkantine, plus labels like Kompakt and Anjunadeep, she developed in a part of the scene that values atmosphere and taste as much as pure dancefloor force. What makes her stand out is that her sets and productions tend to feel refined without losing warmth, landing somewhere between melodic techno, deep progressive, and more emotionally driven club music rather than one rigid lane.

Boris (NYC)

Techno

Born in Saint Petersburg and raised in New York City, Boris Inzhin is a foundational figure in the American club circuit. He rose to prominence through legendary residencies at New York venues including Roxy, Crobar, and Pacha, where he cultivated a devoted following known as Believers. His production output spans decades, featuring notable releases such as the Hybrid EP on SCI+TEC in 2013 and his long running Transmissions radio show and label. Boris is recognized for his drum driven sound, which bridges the gap between slick house grooves and darker, percussive techno. He remains an active touring artist and studio producer, maintaining a career defined by marathon sets and consistent club presence. His enduring relevance stems from an unwavering commitment to the craft of the resident DJ, proving that deep local roots can sustain a global career.

Oscar G

Oscar G is a foundational figure in the Miami house music scene, recognized for his enduring influence as a DJ, producer, and songwriter. Emerging in the early 1990s alongside longtime collaborator Ralph Falcon, he gained international prominence through the seminal production teams Murk, Liberty City, and Funky Green Dogs. His signature sound is defined by deep, tribal-infused grooves, pulsating basslines, and soulful vocal arrangements, exemplified by classic releases such as Liberty City's Some Lovin' (1991, Murk Records), Funky Green Dogs' Fired Up! (1996, Twisted), and the Murk anthem Dark Beat (2003, Twisted).
