DE SLUWE VOS: BREAKING MUSICAL CONVENTIONS
With an insatiable curiosity and unstoppable drive, Robert Vosmeijer, better known as De Sluwe Vos, has been a pioneering force within the Dutch electronic music scene for over a decade. Known for his raw energy, relentless urge to innovate and independent vision, he moves effortlessly between house, techno and hip-hop. In doing so, he breaks musical conventions and shapes a distinctive, dynamic sound that is constantly evolving.
10 SHOWS, 10 CITIES
With the 10×10 Tour, he made a statement in 2024 and 2025: club culture must remain accessible. Ten shows, ten cities, ten euros, a concept that redefined the essence of nightlife and guided a new generation back to the dance floor.
FROM GLASTONBURY TO LOWLANDS
His track selection and lightning-fast mixing skills set every dance floor ablaze. But live, De Sluwe Vos pushes boundaries even further. His Kontra live show, featuring a full band and guest artists, merges electronic music and live performance into a hybrid experience. This approach garnered international attention and took him to stages such as Glastonbury, Lowlands, Pukkelpop and Awakenings.
STUDIO WORK
He continues to push limits in the studio as well: in 2025 he released Repeat with Dutch hip-hop legends Rico and Willie Wartaal, and earlier collaborated with artists including Sticks, Mula B and Lucky Fonz III, partnerships that underline his role as a connector of genres and generations. In 2024, De Sluwe Vos released his third studio album Now I Understand, on Carl Cox’s label, a milestone that expanded his sound to a broader international audience.
BUILDING BRIDGES
When he’s not digging for rare old-school gems, Vosmeijer can be found in his hardware-filled studio working on new projects and aliases (Such as Intercity 106 with fellow synth-nerd Sjamsoedin). In short: De Sluwe Vos is more than a DJ or producer; he is building bridges between genres and generations and is a driving force behind the ongoing evolution of Dutch electronic music.
Personifying the underground London house sound in every way, you need only listen to a handful of East End Dubs’ releases to understand the deep impact that the city has had on him and his music. Fusing subtle throwbacks to acid-tinged warehouse raves with the groove of UK Garage, his music captures a feeling that can be traced back through the decades as he presents it to a new generation packaged with tight, rolling basslines and the precision drums which have become his production calling card.
His carefully curated Eastenderz label and events brand has cemented his place as a respected tastemaker in London, providing a platform for supporting new homegrown talent, as well as mainstay underground heavyweights. With over a decade of releases, Eastenderz now sits amongst some of the scene’s most respected imprints and looks set to develop into an integral part of the electronic music scene for years to come.
Constantly innovative, in the last years he took the label’s uncompromising party ethos to cities like Berlin, Barcelona, and Paris, selling-out venues like fabric, Watergate, E1 and Input among others. He then naturally followed with a summer in Ibiza, where he took Eastenderz to the terrace of Amnesia, followed by a monthly residency at Cova Santa, while in between shows he would be playing regularly at Amnesia for Paradise, as well as DC10 and Pacha for Music On.
With the summer finally over, there is still no rest for East End Dubs as he delivers his newest venture of ‘ExtENDed’. A project aimed at reconnecting with the journey of DJing, through longer, uninterrupted sets without musical limitation. Giving both the audience and East End Dubs time to solidify their connection. This concept will be hitting all the usual European hot spots, while also hopping across the Atlantic to be homed by Space, Miami, and Stereo, Montreal.
EED has put his stamp on proceedings with a focussed ambition and dedication to his craft, using 2022 as an opportunity to further develop his sound and prepare a stack of new material ready to road test, preparing for a debut album release in 2023. The label is yet to be announced but expects something fresh and original, that will depict the next stage of this prolific artist’s journey.

Frank Storm is a chameleonic character in the booth and the studio, but always remains true to his roots. The foundation of everything he does is groove and slick drum programming, but he is able to adapt to every situation he finds him in. As someone who first heard dance music in his uncle’s car, the joy and excitement he felt back then has never left him, either through years spent as a dancer on the other side of the booth, or now as the party commander in chief.
Eventually moving to Ibiza to follow his love of music, Frank soon became a regular at places like No Name Club and began to make a mark on those who know. Keen to curate the whole night with his own vision, he started his now critically acclaimed Unusual Suspects party with a residency at Sankeys Ibiza in 2015 and hasn’t looked back since. The night quickly became known for its devotion to the underground rather than big names or obvious ticket sellers. It built up a community of serious music lovers who appreciated the quality soundtracks provided by top guests like Cassy, Chris Liebing, DJ Sneak, Enzo Siragusa and Sonja Moonear amongst many more.
Accordingly, Unusual Suspects became in demand around Europe and has since held showcases at EGG London, IPSE Berlin and OPIVM Bali just to name a few. Of course, this has also meant Frank himself has built up fans all over the world and now plays everywhere from ADE to Space Ibiza, Output New York to Pacha Barcelona via his ongoing residency at Amnesia Milano. Frank likes to look into the eyes of his dancers, to make that personal connection, transmit his passion and enthusiasm and head off on a journey with his dancers – a journey into atmospheric house, sleek and slick tech and plenty in between, always with a sense of fun, and preferably for extended periods of time so he can really tell a story. Fast grooves and warm, saturated sounds with chopped up samples of the past and a soul-infused vocal always litter his sets and inform his style in the studio.
Frank’s breakout release came with ‘Gimme the Honey’ on Hot Creations, and he followed it up with a dynamic selection of club-friendly but characterful EPs on Get Physical, Serialism and Decay Records, with massive remixes of Dana Ruh, Guido Schneider and Yusef showing another side to his skills. The next chapter finds Frank start his own label, Crunch, where he insists he, his friends and favourite producers will be “free to create whatever they want without any restrictions”. It will be another fascinating development in the career of one of dance music’s youngest, hungriest and most unique artists.

debut ‘Whippin’’ in 2018. The release hit No.1 on the Beatport charts and has been followed by releases on Play It Say It, Desolat, Hottrax, Saved, Knee Deep In Sound and many more, including their own Whippin label. Launched in 2019, Mason’s label Whippin has been home to their own releases, as well as securing releases with the likes of Max Chapman, Daniel Orpi, Neverdogs, Mason Maynard, Luke Dean and many more. The outlet has allowed all three Mason Collective members to build on their desire to cultivate community, forming strong bonds with the artists they sign, and nurturing the careers of up and comers.
A further “MVSON” label will be launched in May 2024 to showcase their own music and host an array of world class producers. Mason Collective’s recent releases have found immense success, dominating the charts and each one collecting a vast number of online streams. Single, “A Little Affection” has almost surpassed 600,000 Spotify streams since its release last year under Defected Records Limited (DFTD). Similarly, their recent Water (Remix) with rising talent, Fletch, has been well-received by Soundcloud listeners.
All three members of Mason Collective met in their late teens, finding common ground in their tastes,
outlook, and ambitions. They realised that they could achieve a lot more than collectively than
individually and with their shared vision, joined forces and cut their teeth as young promoters with their MVSON parties. MVSON first found a home at Sankeys, hosting a wide range of top-tier artists from the worlds of house and techno.

With house, electro, techno, or dance music as a whole, there’s a specific sweet spot where a tune can just as easily be rinsed on a hazy dancefloor as it can be received like a looping spiritual mantra, bridging a most unique gap between celebration and therapy.
Rezident, the project of emerging 26-year-old producer David Roif of Karlsruhe, the city in Germany’s southern Baden-Württemberg state, demonstrates that electronic music best sustains itself when these separate entities interlock. Citing a consistent flow of Deadmau5 which influenced him growing up, and taking notes from progressive canons like Bicep, Rezident’s 2025 is warming up—fast.
Like his counterparts growing up in the technologically-accessible 2010’s, Rezident downloaded various music programs on his Windows PC laptop at the age of 12, eager to concoct his own melodies after hearing a ringtone his sister’s friend composed on her Nokia cellphone. There, he gathered essential production techniques, like layering, streamlining, and learning when to walk away from a track for a while.
Today, at points in his intimate but expanding discography, reverberating chords informed by deep house accents whirl in and out, only to have sharp hi-hats and intermittent whooshes sober the ethereality. Such instances mark Rezident’s desire for a more minimal and honest approach to track- producing, one which contrasts from his earlier school of beatmaking, self-described as “commercial,” trusting the project and himself.
2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Bedford-born producer and DJ Sam Girling, whose emotive, club-ready sound is turning heads across the global electronic music scene. Blending euphoric textures with dancefloor grit, Girling’s music thrives in that sweet spot between emotional resonance and kinetic release—a sonic space where introspection meets hedonism.
His self-released debut EP came in 2022, earning nods from tastemakers like Lauren Laverne (BBC 6 Music), Jaguar (Radio 1), and Jack Saunders (Future Artists). But it was 2023’s viral club anthem Ankerklause (Is The Feeling Only Strong?) that truly shifted gears, garnering widespread acclaim and ultimately being crowned the Future Dance Track ID on BBC Radio 1.
That same year saw Girling make an ambitious leap from label owner to party promoter, launching Club Attacca—a DIY party concept born from his desire to inject new life into his underrepresented hometown of Bedford. “Attacca acts as my own paradisiacal world,” he explained. Since its inception, the event series has expanded to Liverpool and London.
Unreleased but widely circulated tracks soon followed, with support pouring in from underground heavyweights including Young Marco, DJ HEARTSTRING, Ben UFO, and Palms Trax.

Groovy. It is the only word that accurately describes Kyle Kinch’s music, presence, and persona. With a deep rooted obsession of jazz and disco, Kyle finesses these influences to blur the lines between house, disco, and techno.
Kyle has featured releases on Gorgon City’s Realm Records, Sonny Fodera’s Solotoko, Nervous, and EMI; his undeniable and uncanny sound has been felt at Ultra Music Festival, Printworks London, and numerous dancefloors across the world.
In late 2018, Kyle linked up with powerhouse duo Gorgon City to be the first artist on their label, Realm (other than the duo themselves). The Manchester EP sparked the rise of his signature sound and gained support from heavy hitters such as Camelphat, Fisher, and David Guetta. Following this success, Kyle reached new heights by making the front page of beatport, features on Forbes, and remixing top-selling artist Duke Dumont.
With his productions powering his performances, Kyle Kinch captivates audiences on both the club and festival stages. Kyle creates a unique vibe that few can imitate. This energy brought him to the famous Brooklyn Mirage, Tobacco Dock London, Electric Daisy Carnival, and premier clubs across the US.These events included sharing the spotlight with Claude Vonstroke, Kaskade, Chris Lake, and Gorgon City. Named one of Dancing Astronaut’s “Artist to Watch”, it’s clear that everyone will experience Kyle Kinch very soon.
In 2014, a 14-year-old Justus Schipper watched as legendary Dutch artist Afrojack brought the Ziggo Dome arena to its knees. Witnessing the explosive energy of an all-out, topflight electronic artist in full flow in front of a crowd of thousands was a revelation for the teenager. In that moment, amid the frenzy, underneath the lights and lasers, he swore to himself that he’d return, only this time he’d be the one on stage.
Less than a decade later, stepping onto the Ziggo Dome main stage for Don’t Let Daddy Know at just 23, Justus had done exactly that. That, and much, much more.
It’s been a stratospheric rise for the talented young producer, by any measure. After his Ziggo Dome experience watching Afrojack, Justus threw himself into electronic music with 100% determination. With six years’ practice on the drums under his belt, an innate understanding of rhythm and groove had already imprinted itself. Taking that and channelling it into music production and beatmatching, Justus proved a natural both in the booth and in the studio. In 2017, he took a bet on himself. Leaving school behind, he threw himself 100% into his music.
It was a move that more than paid off. By 2018 he’d scored multiple tours across Asia, Middle East, and Europe, dropping incendiary sets at some of the world’s most revered clubs. In 2019 he signed a publishing deal with influential Dutch publishing house Cloud9, leading to a run of major releases on Spinnin’ Records. It came as no surprise to industry insiders when, in 2022, the EDM goliath made an official move on Justus, signing him to their roster as one of the scene’s most exciting and explosive new stars. The home support continued to flood in, this time in the shape of none other than Armin van Buuren. Arguably electronic music’s most iconic superstar, Armin called on Justus to open for him at his 2022 summer residency at Ibizan mega-venue Ushuaïa. The result was so electrifying, Armin extended the invitation, asking Justus to close out the year with him at his NYE spectacular in Dubai. Crowds of thousands caught the young star in action, winning him legions of new fans from all over the world and catapulting his profile to unprecedented levels.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Mau5-sized ears were turning Justus’ way. As his club sound began to mature towards a more techno-orientated direction with single ‘Speed’, bad boy of electronica Deadmau5 swung in with major support, as did heavyweight peers Kaskade and Zedd. Playing the single non-stop in their live sets, Deadmau5 signed Justus to an EP deal, while Kaskade bought the Dutch talent into the studio, resulting in their seismic 2022 banger ‘Dance With Me’. Signing to legendary Dutch booking agency David Lewis Productions in the summer of 2022, Justus’ tour diary began to stack up just as heavily as his production calendar. Tomorrowland, Balaton Sound, Saga Festival, Dreambeach, Ushuaïa, Creamfields; one after another the world’s biggest event brands came knocking on his door, introducing Justus to new fans across the planet.
As his profile soared, so did his recognition from clubland’s biggest stars: Tiësto, Gordo, Diplo, Benny Benassi, Timmy Trumpet and Acraze swiftly lining up alongside Deadmau5, Kaskade, Zedd and Armin van Buuren to drop his music in their collective sets. Justus’ remix of Benassi’s seminal single ‘Satisfaction’ was dropped by Gordo on Tomorrowland’s main stage, resulting in a staggering 350 million views (and counting!) across TikTok and other platforms. And in another major seal of approval from van Buuren, the ASOT icon confirmed at the end of 2023 the first musical collaboration between the pair, ‘Make It Count’.
The influence of techno firmly cementing itself within Justus’ dance floor discography, the producer is evolving once again, flexing his muscles in a different direction. Beginning to develop a more high-tempo, pop-influenced style, his work immediately caught the attention of A&Rs at major label Sony Music. Signing to a multi-track record deal, his first single with Sony – ‘Years’ – closed out 2023, followed by 2024 collaborations ‘Dance To The Beat (Pitchin’)’ (Gabry Ponte and Hi-Gate, Spinnin’ Records), and TikTok viral sensation ‘Man In Finance (Blue Eyes)’ with Girl On Couch.
As Justus continues to grow, evolve, and increasingly influence the electronic musical landscape, the spark that came to life almost a decade ago is on course to become one of the brightest of his generation.

A guiding light. A common language. A connection. All those things epitomize AVIRA’s approach to dance music and the effect he has on his global following.
Tickling the sweet spot between left-field melodic techno and genuine dance floor appeal, his music exudes a sense of purpose that appeals to casual listeners and purists alike, making the Canadian creator one of the most exciting acts in dance music today.
Born in Kuwait, raised in Egypt and bred in Canada after moving there when he was eight years old, AVIRA wasn’t remarkably obsessed with music throughout his formative years. That is, until he got tasked with creating a short-movie soundtrack as an assignment in high school and discovered Tiësto’s ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ series on a local radio station in Toronto. The combination of those two things struck a chord in him, pushing him to sit down at his computer and spend every bit of spare time on his new-found interest. He hasn’t gotten off that computer since.
“Music completely changed my life”, AVIRA explains. “As I started taking more and more steps into this amazing new world, I began to understand the effect music can have on people’s lives. And to me, that’s exactly what music is about. It’s about emotional release, about making an impact. It’s the perfect medicine for the mind, and I feel like everyone in the world needs a little bit of that. If I can get as many people into a room as possible and have them open up to my ideas, it can be a healing experience that brings people closer together.”
Recent tracks such as ‘The Worship’ (feat. Diana Miro) and ‘Hollow’ (with Armin van Buuren), which AVIRA singles out as his best work to date, are built on that notion. “With these two records, I feel like I’m finally finding my voice. I’ve been making music for almost two decades now, and I’ve had my records played on A State Of Trance as Assaf for nearly eight years. Coming from that background, I feel that my records will always bear a hint of Trance euphoria, and shifting the focus from Assaf to AVIRA has allowed me to connect with an even wider audience. What matters to me is that I can be the person they go to when they want to feel something, that I can be the captain to their musical journey and a global ambassador for dance music. And if my music can inspire them as others have inspired me, if it can help them find their way just like it helped me find mine, I’ll have fulfilled my own purpose as well.”

The album proved successful and claimed the #5 spot in the iTunes chart. Topic was 21, and suddenly a career in music seemed possible. Topic left his job and has never looked back.

To Joachim Pastor, music isn’t about the hypes, trends or the weekly special. The French DJ, producer and Hungry Music founder has been casting aside music world mania in favor of a timeless sound since first breaking into the scene, and the upcoming release of his debut album sees the recent Armada Music signee push into a new chapter with that exact trademark.
A true perfectionist when it comes to the quality of his product, Joachim Pastor studied at the Versailles conservatory between the ages of 4 and 15.
Near the end of his time at the conservatory, when his hopes of playing guitar in a band had started to grey out due to the sheer impracticality of it all, he started downloading music software with the intention of creating his own virtual band to play guitar with.
That one thing led to another, and Joachim Pastor’s music has been sporting an electronic edge ever since. Inspired by the works of seminal artists such as Daft Punk, Sonata Arctica and Jean-Michel Jarre, Joachim Pastor’s melodious brand of electronica offers a sense of sophistication not easily found in today’s music world.
Designed to make listeners feel with every fiber of their being, his music is an expression of emotion with a danceable twist, endorsed by hundreds of thousands of fans on Spotify alone as well those who witnessed his performances at the likes of Dour, Tomorrowland, Paleo, Olympia, Solidays, DGTL, Pleinvrees and more. Now on the verge of presenting his first-ever album, Joachim Pastor continues to produce the music he wants to.
And if the initial response is anything to go by, that album provides exactly the kind of music that will withstand the test of time.
His life-long dedication to the scene has earned him a Grammy® nomination for ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ (feat. Trevor Guthrie) and critical acclaim for global hit singles such as ‘Blah Blah Blah’, ‘Great Spirit’ (with Vini Vici), ‘Leave A Little Love’ (with Alesso) and ‘Music Means Love Forever’ (with Steve Aoki). Additionally, he claimed the number one spot in the annual DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll for an unprecedented five times, contributing to the twenty consecutive top 5 spots to date (the most recent being a #3 in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll of 2021).
His two-hour radio show, A State of Trance (ASOT), is broadcast weekly from his own radio studio in the Armada Music HQ in Amsterdam to over 44 million listeners in more than 80 countries, as well as online via audio and video live stream on YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. ASOT, which surpassed the milestone number of 1000 episodes in January 2021, has grown from a small radio show into a complete dance music brand with stages and events across the globe.
Armin van Buuren has launched several ‘Armin Only’ world tours throughout the years, including the ones based on his albums (‘Imagine’ in 2008, ‘Mirage’ in 2010, ‘Intense’ in 2013 and ‘Embrace’ in 2016) and ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ in 2017. In 2022, two years later than originally planned due to the Corona pandemic, Armin van Buuren will play his most personal and intimate live shows yet through four sold-out shows in the Ziggo Dome: ‘This Is Me’. In addition to all of this, Armin van Buuren is the co-founder of Armada Music, the biggest independent dance music label in the world. The Amsterdam-, NYC- and London-based record label, which was founded in tandem with Maykel Piron and David Lewis, is acclaimed internationally for releasing music across the electronic music spectrum, was voted #7 in Mixmag’s “Label Of The Decade” poll in 2017, and is the six-time winner of “Best Global Record Label” at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami, the sixth of which was won in 2018.
As a performer, Armin had headlined countless shows at leading festivals and venues around the world, including Electric Daisy Carnival (Las Vegas, New York), Ultra Music Festival (Miami) and Tomorrowland (Belgium) plus residencies at Hï Ibiza, in Las Vegas and numerous others.
On December 16, 2019, Armin van Buuren joined forces with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to motivate millions of people to join the movement and fight against plastic pollution. As a Global Oceans Ambassador, Armin will contribute to the worldwide #BeatPlastic campaign: www.arminvanbuuren.com/beatplastic. To date, Armin has seven full-length artist albums to his name: ‘76’ (2003), ‘Shivers’ (2005), ‘Imagine’ (2008), ‘Mirage’ (2010), ‘Intense’ (2013), ‘Embrace’ (2015) and ‘Balance’ (2019).

„MUSIC IS FREEDOM… freedom to express, process and transform your emotions while creating a bond with the audience. For Lilly there’s no better way to initiate this bond, than with sending her audience on a musical journey with her DJ sets and own productions. It’s as simple as that, electronic music just has been her passion ever since.”
Born and raised in Germany, Lilly’s real musical journey started in Zurich, where she spent a lot of time with the great and thriving underground scene. Her dedication to music grew stronger and stronger, eventually leading to the decision to fully immerse herself in the world of the underground in 2015! Now happily living on the coast of the Netherlands with her husband, Egbert, Lilly’s sound and style have evolved to new dimensions. Her versatility and savvy definitely brought her sound to higher spheres and Peaktime Techno has become her signature sound.
Through her productions, she adds her personal touch to each set and often, as with her Mainstage set at Tomorrowland 2023, the majority of the tracks she performed were her own.
With authenticity and focus being two of her most prized attributes, needless to say she spends almost every free minute working full steam ahead in the studio to create and develop her own sound. The only time out from the crazy world of music is when she finds time with her horse in the dunes on the Dutch coast. People who know her closely state that she is definitely the “hardest working woman” in show bizz”.
Lilly is living her dream and enjoying the freedom she’s gained through her music and she’s just getting warm! It wouldn’t be a real journey with Lilly if she didn’t present her emotions with her own music and win the hearts of ravers worldwide with her performance.
