HEADLINER

Zedd is one of the clearest examples of an artist who came out of the electro-house boom and evolved into a genuine pop-dance heavyweight without losing the precision that made producers respect him in the first place. Long before the massive crossover records, Anton Zaslavski already stood out for how technical and polished his productions were. You could hear the classical training in the chord work, arrangement, and mixdowns, even when he was making aggressive complextro and festival records. What made him bigger than just another EDM-era name was his ability to turn that technical skill into songs that actually connected on a mainstream level, whether through “Clarity,” “Stay,” or “The Middle.” His music has always leaned clean, melodic, and highly engineered, but at its best it still carries real energy and payoff rather than feeling sterile. He is not an underground figure, but within the crossover space he has always felt more musically serious and detail-oriented than a lot of his peers, which is why his catalog still holds weight with both casual listeners and dance fans who care about production craft.

HoneyLuv

Tech House

HoneyLuv is Taylor Character, a Cleveland-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer who came to music after college basketball and a stint as a drone operator in the United States Navy, teaching herself to DJ while stationed near Malibu in 2018. She broke through in 2022 with 365 (Thr33 6ix 5ive) on Chris Lake's Black Book Records, a playful, bass-forward tech house cut, and followed it with singles including This Is My Life (2024) and remix work for Jamie Jones. Her sets pull soulful, R&B-rooted house and tech house into a direct, groove-first style, and she has shared bills with Carl Cox, Seth Troxler and Maya Jane Coles. Recent live credits include a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in 2025, a sunrise set at EXIT Festival, a back to back with TSHA at ANTS at Ushuaia Ibiza and a Defected Radio takeover. She matters as one of the fastest-rising American voices in tech house, with a following rooted in Black queer nightlife and bookings now reaching festival and stadium scale.
