GG Magree
Girl boss and all-round BAE is how the majority of the world refer to Australian DJ/producer and vocalist GG MAGREE. Hailing from Sydney Australia, GG MAGREE has been named Australian artist to watch for 2016 by Spotify. GG’s energetic performance delivers TRAP, HIP HOP, Twerk and the occasional JB for her own personal kicks. When GG gets behind the decks be prepared for a 10/10 booty popping performance, the chance of a surprise celebrity shows crasher and one hell of a show.
Amtrac
The name Amtrac has become synonymous with many titles – producer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist & sometimes vocalist – yet if there’s one defining ethos behind Caleb Cornett’s burgeoning Amtrac project, it’s a relentless commitment to authenticity.
Wuki
Wuki is the genre-blending solo project of Los Angeles-based producer Kris Barman. Influenced by the sounds of Detroit ghettotech and Chicago footwork scenes, Barman’s ability to seamlessly mix booty, breaks, electro, and house into hard-hitting club-shakers has become a trademark of the Wuki sound. The Mile High City resident has earned releases and remixes for notable imprints such as OWSLA, Main Course, Fool’s Gold, and Ultra – not to mention support from the likes of Knife Party, Skrillex, and Rolling Stone Magazine.
Dack Janiels
Dack Janiels better known as Tanner Chung was born and raised in the bay area of Northern California. Dack comes from a background of semi pro/sponsored skateboarding and listening to excessive amounts of gangster rap as a rebellious youth. After discovering bass music, Dack set out to craft his own blend of crushing basses and gangster vibes. Dack is also co-owner/founder of the 40oz Cult a group of young Proskaters, and Djs that put music, host parties and also make clothing.
Kasbo
When Carl Garsbo landed in Gothenburg at end of 2015, the Swedish producer couldn’t sit still. Riding high from a recent trek with his Counter Records labelmates ODESZA and the success of his Umbrella Club EP and single ‘World Away’, he didn’t waste any time. He got right back in the studio.
Ookay
One of the most impressive young leaders of the American dance music scene, California-based Ookay (pronounced “okay”) exploded onto the scene when both his freshman and sophomore releases on Ultra Records charted in the top 10 on Beatport. Since then, he’s shown no sign of slowing down, working with some of the greatest producers in electronic music while developing a signature style that weaves across genres, reflecting influences as varied as Borgore, Diplo, DJ Snake, Showtek, Deorro, TJR, Boaz Van de Beatz, Valentino Kahn, Waveracer, Cashmere Cat, Lindsay Lowend, Skrillex, Lido, and Wiwek while always returning to a hard-hitting trap beat.
Dom Dolla
2019 is a break-out year for Dom Dolla, named as one of this years ‘rising stars’ by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and featured on Billboard Dance as one of ‘April’s one’s to watch’ following the release of his beatport #1 single ‘Take it’ – a hypnotic house anthem, amassing 22 million streams across all platforms with support from house music elite Eric Morillo, Chris Lake, Sonny Fodera & Duke Dumont.
Blanke

Black Caviar
Quickly cementing a global fan-base with their richly distinct and dynamic sound, the birth of popular electronic duo Black Caviar stretches back to a chance meeting between Troy Hinson and Jared Piccone in Reading, Pennsylvania. The pair bonded over their mutual love of the PA hardcore music scene and searched for the unacknowledged truth about extra-terrestrial biological entities.
