Joy Orbison
Joy Orbison (Born Peter O'Grady) is a DJ and producer based in London. His style is generally accepted as a coalescence of Dubstep, UK Funky, UK Garage, House & Jungle. O'Grady achieved underground éclat with his debut single, "Hyph Mngo/Wet Look" released via Hotflush Recordings in October 2009. O'Grady credits his uncle Ray Keith with introducing him to jungle and UK garage at a young age. At 13 he took up DJing and eventually moved into production in his 20s, using Fruity Loops to create 8-bar grime loops before developing his sound combining house, disco, and dubstep. He cites influences as diverse as J Dilla, My Bloody Valentine, GG Allin, Josef K, and The Beach Boys.
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.
