Beltran

(3)

Minimal / Deep Tech

HEADLINER

Beltran is one of the strongest names in the current Brazil-to-global groove pipeline, but what makes him hit is that his records do not just sound like generic tech house tools. There is a trippy, slightly weird, very swung quality to his music that gives it personality, whether he is leaning more minimal, housey, or into those punchier Solid Grooves-adjacent rollers. A big part of his rise came from “Smack Yo’,” which became a real breakout moment and helped position him inside that modern stripped-back, groove-first circuit, but the bigger story is that he has managed to make tracks that feel functional for huge dancefloors without losing their quirks. He sits in that lane where Brazilian rhythm, cheeky sound design, and tight low-end club pressure all meet, which is why he has become such a favorite with DJs and why his sound feels a little more distinctive than a lot of artists operating in the same space.

Kerri Chandler

Deep House

Kerri Chandler is not just a house legend, he is one of the actual architects of deep house as people understand it today. Coming out of New Jersey, he helped define that soulful, emotionally rich, groove-led end of house music in a way that still feels alive rather than frozen in history. What makes Chandler so revered is that his music has always had real feeling in it: warm keys, weighty drums, gospel and jazz sensibility, and that unmistakable sense of swing that makes even the simplest groove feel human. As a DJ, he has the kind of command that only comes from decades in the culture. He is obsessive about sound, deeply rooted in the original spirit of house, and able to make a room feel both joyous and locked in at the same time. A lot of artists are influential, but Chandler is one of those rare figures whose fingerprints are all over generations of deep house, soulful house, and garage-adjacent club music that came after him.
