Line-up
Bicep
Bicep continues to evolve with their album "Isles," which, after two years of work, builds on the artistic energy of their 2017 debut "Bicep." They delve deeper into the sounds, experiences, and emotions that influence their lives and work. The singles "Apricots" and "Atlas" illustrate these diverse influences. Their global recognition began with the FeelMyBicep blog, which grew into a successful foundation for their career. The album "Bicep" was followed by a successful tour with performances at major festivals such as Primavera and Glastonbury, and sold-out shows at Printworks and Brixton Academy. Bicep continues to perform at major festivals and in well-known clubs worldwide, and remains a big name in the dance scene.
Job Jobse
Job is easily one of the most in-demand DJs today, performing at festivals and clubs across the globe — all while keeping his feet firmly on the ground through his residency at the now-closed De School in Amsterdam and his own ‘Strangelove’ parties, where he invites like-minded artists with whom he shares a strong musical connection. 2018 also marked the launch of “De Vlieger”, a label born from Job’s long-held desire to release music by friends. The imprint focuses on introducing unsigned talent and debuted with a standout release by Karel, followed by a full-length album from Elias Mazian. With Job’s never-ending thirst for discovering and championing new music, there is no doubt we will see much more from him (and from the label) in the years to come.
Octave One
Detroit's Octave One, brothers Lenny and Lawrence Burden, are foundational figures in techno. Since its inception, they've been pioneers, renowned for their dynamic live shows that blend human and machine. Their analog setup, "The Mothership," delivers a mix of funk, house, and techno rhythms, creating an educational dance experience. They achieve a level of live performance rarely matched, solidifying their status as techno's premier live act.
ROD
ROD Malmok is the alias of one of the Netherlands' most frequently booked DJ's Benny Rodrigues. Whilst Benny plays a wide variety of house and techno music, his alter ego ROD enjoys to delve into the deeper darker sides of techno.
Midland
Originating from Leeds, Midland is a well established DJ in the current house music scene. He rose to fame in 2010 alongside Pearson Sound with his release 'Your words matter'. This track would go on to be named in DJ mags 'top 100 house records' feature. His track 'Final Credits' was named DJ mags song of the year in 2016. His sets are filled with groovy dance floor bangers as well as carefully sculpted melodic breaks.
Fatima Yamaha
Fatima Yamaha's story began with a limited release on D1 Recordings, initially overlooked. Eight years later, Magnetron Music rediscovered the track, sparking widespread acclaim. Despite early mystery surrounding the artist's identity, now known to be a male producer, Fatima Yamaha gained significant attention. Collaborations with Dekmantel and the release of 'Araya' followed, alongside successful live shows featuring sophisticated house and synth performances. Fatima Yamaha is now a prominent figure in electronic music.
Barnt
With over twenty years of experience Barnt is an established name in the industry whilst owning his own record label Magazine at the same time.
Oceanic
Oceanic broke through as a DJ and producer during the final days of club Trouw. After growing up in Goes and studying in Amsterdam, he spent a year in Berlin, where he fell head over heels for the dancefloor. Upon returning, he joined Trouw’s resident crew alongside Job Jobse, Elias Mazian, and Tom Trago, who later transitioned to Amsterdam’s most talked-about club, De School. Oceanic quickly gained a reputation as an original, creative DJ capable of handling both large venues and intimate clubs. He primarily released music on Nous’Klaer, the connoisseur label run by his brother Sjoerd Oberman. Just this fall, the label hosted a stage at Draaimolen, where Oceanic teamed up with Avalon Emerson. And hosting a stage at Draaimolen also means building and carrying things yourself. Oceanic joined in enthusiastically, spending an entire day running electrical cables to all the bars on the festival grounds.
Woody
Woody, a DJ whose life revolves around music, started in Munich's graffiti and breakdance scene in the 80s. He became a well-known DJ and moved to Berlin in 1992 to become a resident DJ at the legendary Planet/E-Werk club. He has witnessed the rise and fall of techno and has always remained true to his passion. Instead of becoming a festival DJ, he founded Heideglühen, a popular underground party series in Berlin. With his years of experience and the success of Heideglühen, Woody now brings his unique "Heide vibe" to dance floors worldwide.
