CRi

Deep House

HEADLINER

Hailing from Montreal, Christophe Dubé, known as CRi, crafts a refined blend of melodic house and electronica that prioritizes atmospheric depth. His production style frequently integrates emotive synth textures with intricate, rhythmic foundations, a signature sound showcased on releases like the Juvenile LP and the Initial EP on Anjunadeep. Since his 2019 label debut, he has maintained a consistent presence on international stages, including notable appearances at Piknic Électronik and various club circuits across London and New York City. His work often bridges the gap between introspective home listening and dancefloor functionality, drawing support from influential radio figures like Pete Tong. By balancing technical precision with accessible melodic sensibilities, he occupies a distinct space within the modern melodic house 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.
