Line-up
Marlon Hoffstadt
Judging by the number of hits the Berliner has up his sleeve, it seems he's always ready to drop. And judging by the reactions at shows around the globe, he's not running out of ideas that move the masses. Trance music's poster boy has already had a jam-packed career. From first clashes with the industry to taking things into his own hands. From touring Australia to selling out legendary venues in seconds and leaving tens of thousands of ticket requests open. Some say it's trance, some say it's hard house. Others say it's dad noises. Whatever you call it, you heard his productions in every other DJ set – with each new release getting millions of plays.
Anetha
Anetha blends techno, trance, and experimental music with bouncy basslines, stomping kickdrums, and melodic yet melancholic motifs. Known for her performances at iconic venues like Berghain, Hï Ibiza, and Stone Techno, she has built a global fanbase. Based in Bordeaux, Anetha's productions and DJ sets reflect her architectural background, showcasing creativity, detail, and skilled mixing. Anetha also has her own label: Mama told ya. It is focused on sharing and collaboration as a creative engine. The label is designed as a platform for research, experimentation and new mixtures.
Malugi
MALUGI found his inimitable niche in energized, UK-infused house music, powered by the punch of dance floor productions and just the right dosage of mass appeal. His relentless creative force made him tour the globe, drew support from Gerd Janson to Tiësto, reached millions of streams on his original productions, and resulted in not one but two viral Boiler Rooms in 2024, which got Happy-Mania rolling for good. Looking into the future, the mission stays the same: bringing fun into club music – just the scale is constantly growing. Whether it's his upcoming USA Tour, his anticipated collaboration with Interplanetary Criminal, his remix for Blessed Madonna's and Clementine Douglas' mega hit 'Happier' or his expected mixes for DJ Mag and BBC Radio 1 – it's all smiles, no breaks.
Moody Mehran
Describing Mehran as just a DJ is challenging, as his musical inspiration follows a unique and diverse path. While his roots are in Chicago House, his current focus spans a wide range of electronic music. What ties his eclectic taste together is a commitment to discovering and sharing truly authentic, exceptional records that have, or will, endure over time. Over the years, he’s honed his ability to find these standout tracks. 2024 has been a standout year, with sold-out tours in the Netherlands alongside TLM (Tjade, Lucky Done Gone, Moody Mehran) at venues like Paradiso and 013.
Essy
Essy, the stage name of Daphne van den Heuvel, is a Dutch DJ and producer from Rotterdam. Known for her experimental approach, she blends progressive house, techno, breakbeat, and electro into dynamic and engaging sets. In addition to her live performances, Essy hosts the biweekly radio show Hot Tubes on Maxi Radio, showcasing her eclectic taste. Her goal is always to create a fun, memorable night while keeping the crowd locked into the groove.
