LINE UP (in alphabetical order)
Alex Wann
Meet Alex Wann, the Parisian DJ and producer who has taken the electronic music world by storm.
His record ‘Milkshake’ was the kickstart, one of the hottest IDs of summer 2023, the afro house record became a truly global moment off the back of strong support from the Keinemusik crew. The demand for ‘Milkshake’ has been unprecedented, with artists such as Diplo, Pete Tong, John Summit, Carlita and Blondish all notable supporters.
For Alex this was just the beginning. This year he has firmly established himself as a formidable selector, with his blend of afro and melodic music establishing his DJ credentials. With a first US Tour (including performances at Teksupport and Factory Town) already under his belt, Alex will now embark on a series of landmark shows including performances at festivals Cercle, Panorama, Moga and Brunch Electronik. Alongside that he will debut in Ibiza b2b with Pete Tong at the legendary Dalt Vila for IMS before key dates at Pacha and a host of notable EU clubs.
The touring will be accompanied by a series of powerful music releases including a remix of ‘Beyond Us’ by Adriatique and Eynka on the much lauded Cercle Records and an eagerly awaited remix of Route 94’s celebrated ‘My Love’ on EMI Records.
Major League DJz
Hailing from South Africa, the Major League DJz are cultural icons and trailblazers in bringing Amapiano to the world. The duo consists of Bandile and Banele Mbere, identical twin brothers with huge, infectious personalities.
Their uniqueness and versatility shine throughout their catalog packed with standout collaborators including Major Lazer, Diplo, Tiwa Savage, Patoranking, Black Coffee, Abidoza, and more. The Major League DJz are also known for their Balcony Mixes (live DJ sets) which showcase the true power of African Dance music and their ability to command stages across the world. Each release pulls in millions of viewers and their audience is only getting bigger.
In an industry inundated with artists and sounds, the Major League DJz are truly ones to watch and are keen on separating themselves from the pack, one set at a time.
Niiomi
Step into the world of DJ Niiomi, a musical nomad whose beats traverse borders, echoing the pulse of a true world citizen. Born into the vibrant tapestry of Cuban and Dutch heritage, seasoned with the eclectic rhythms of Zurich, Switzerland, and enriched by the influence of a Lebanese stepdad, Niiomi’s sonic journey is a celebration of cultural diversity and global connectivity.
Niiomi’s music is a testament to her diverse roots – a harmonious fusion of Tribal, Afro House & Tech, Melodic Electronic, interwoven with the spirited rhythms of Latin and the exotic allure of the Orient.
Her artistry is a symphony of sounds, each note resonating with the echoes of her multicultural upbringing, creating a unique auditory experience that transcends geographical boundaries.
Her sets are a sonic expedition – a passport stamped with beats that take the audience on a rhythmic journey through the diverse landscapes of her influences.
Beyond her role as a DJ, Niiomi’s background as a professional dancer infuses her performances with an innate understanding of movement and rhythm.
Her infectious energy is a call to celebration – an invitation to lose oneself in the joyous rhythm of the moment.
Niiomi is not merely a music curator; she is a storyteller, weaving tales through beats that resonate with the heartbeats of a global audience.
Her music transcends boundaries, creating an inclusive space where everyone is invited to dance – connecting people through the universal language of music.
Niiomi is rapidly making waves in the electronic music scene. With her first release “Gemini”, she recently opened a sold-out Labyrinth event in London for Alex Wann, played a speakeasy set in Morocco for the Caprice Festival, and performed at ADE, including an opening set for Uncle Waffles.
Supported by artists like Amémé, Shimza, Karyendasoul, and Alex Wann, Niiomi is poised to make an impact on dance floors worldwide.
Unxpected
The duo Alvaro J and MJULA form the musical collective Unxpected. With their unique sound and back-to-back sets, they create a one-of-a-kind vibe that has quickly established them as a staple in the Afro House scene in Düsseldorf and beyond.
Alvaro J is a perfect example of how diverse influences can give your sound a distinctive identity. His sets have wowed audiences at events like Fischmarkt, ESCAPE, and Inner Circle. His performances at Hideout Festival, Fresh Island Festival, and Euphoria were absolutely magical. On November 16th and 17th, he was part of the Echoes of Pandora lineup — the first concert in Germany by DJ giant Mahmut Orhan.
Vibe. Vibe. Vibe. The energy that MJULA brings to his sets is unmatched. He engages his audience like no other and transforms music into a true experience. This year, he played the first rooftop set at The Zipper and became the ultimate vibe-creator at events like ESCAPE, Constantly Weird, Gateway Gardens Ocean Club Frankfurt, Gaia Frankfurt, and the Pitaya series. He also performed at the first edition of Echoes of Pandora on November 16th and 17th, taking over 3,000 guests on a musical journey.
Together, Unxpected have shared the stage with headliners like Sama, Faul and Wad, Niiomi, and the 2Nomads.
