Addison Groove combines all the right flavours of Techno, Electro, Jungle & Juke, stripped down drum beats and acid basslines to carve a unique and infectious groove, giving a unique and versatile approach to many genres of underground music.

It's a rare feat for an artist to garner respect in one genre, let alone across most of underground electronic music. Bristol-based producer Tony Williams AKA Addison Groove (formerly known as Headhunter), managed to do so. A Dubstep mainstay active since 2006, he released a multitude of singles for Tempa as well as an album (Nomad) for the label in 2008.

2010 marked his first release (Footcrab / Dumbsh*t) as Addison Groove on Loefah's label Swamp 81 and features chopped up samples influenced by the Chicago Juke/Footwork sound. As cited on The Quietus, he played a significant role in introducing this music scene to the U.K. Bass Music continuum and helped solidify the connection between the two, sealing the deal by collaborating with genre pioneer Dj Rashad, featuring on his album Double Cup (Hyperdub). He has also released on Pinch's label Tectonic, 50 Weapons (Modeselektor) and 3024 (Martyn).

Since 2012 Addison Groove has toured nightclubs, festivals and broadcasters such as Boiler Room, Fabric (London), Berghain (Berlin), Keep Hush and Glastonbury. Besides Dubstep, his exploration of the UK Bass scene allowed him to gain interest from mainstream media platforms such as BBC Radio 1, Dazed, Vice Magazine and The Red Bull Music Academy where he was a lecturer. He has also collaborated with Sam Binga and Drum & Bass veteran DJ Die and released on Pretty Weird, Exit, Worst Behaviour, Hessle Audio, Gutterfunk and Dance Trax.

Since emerging in 2015, Brighton-based DJ and producer Bushbaby has become a driving force in the UK’s new wave of club music, fusing UKG, house and raw rave energy. Known for innovative productions and high-energy sets, he has earned support from Interplanetary Criminal, Chris Stussy, Joy Orbison and BBC Radio 1, as well as co-signs from Four Tet, Disclosure, Jaguar and Sammy Virji.

In 2025 he unveils ‘EVERY TIME’, a 10-track mixtape named after his signature vocal tag, arriving 12 September on Southpoint. The project spans 137–145 BPM and showcases the full scope of his sound, from gritty speed-garage pressure to widescreen, emotional club moments. It is pressed to vinyl and powered by a 40+ date world tour across the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

The mixtape caps a landmark run of singles. ‘Shake & Slide’ ignited on socials, ‘Feel The Rush’ revealed his melodic instincts, and ‘Pumpin Jumpin’ has become his biggest record to date, climbing radio and streaming charts with support from MistaJam on Capital Dance and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1, and heavy club rotation from Skream, Chris Stussy and Riordan.

On the live side Bushbaby’s sets are built for the dancefloor, with 2025 touring in full flow alongside the mixtape rollout. With ‘EVERY TIME’ he distils the last decade of craft into a singular statement and steps into his boldest chapter yet.

A man with a penchant for low-end basslines and dazzling rhythmic patterns, Champion is no stranger to innovation in his productions and made his mark on the UK underground with the breakthrough release of his debut effort, the scintillating Motherboard EP on Terror Danjah’s Hardrive imprint in 2011.

With musicality being the focus of his work it’s no surprise that the East London beatsmith has managed to produce seminal music that touches upon House, UK Funky and Grime with effortless attention to detail and without dilution - as heard on his releases for Butterz (Crystal Meth) and Roska Kicks & Snares (Rainforest EP).

Whilst only in the embryonic stages of his career he can already count tastemaker publications such as The Guardian, Pitchfork, The Wire, FACT, XLR8R, Dummy and The Quietus as firm admirers of his craft. Whilst his DJ peers such as Mark Ronson, Annie Mac, Benji B, Four Tet, Skream & Benga, Redlight and Ben UFO have all been clamouring to fit his latest productions into their sets.

Not content with all the fanfare received from others he has turned his attention to running his own label, Formula Records. The label has been a hub for his much sought-after creations such as Lighter, Sensitivity and Crazy and has earned the label a residency at London’s East Village - where he has invited the likes of Ossie, Funkystepz, Royal-T, Ill Blu and Swindle to join him on his bass odyssey.

With all this wind in his sails, fans of the prolific producer can look forward to landmark releases in 2013 on Digital Soundboy, Hyperdub and of course Formula Records - which are all set to etch Champion’s name in stone as one of the leading lights of the next generation of UK producers.

Christian Löffler is a German musician, DJ and producer known for his distinctive blend of ambient, techno and house. Born in 1985 near the Baltic Sea, his music reflects a deep connection to nature through emotive, atmospheric soundscapes. Starting with guitar and drums before discovering electronic production in his teens, he quickly shaped a signature style influenced by artists like Paul Kalkbrenner.

His debut album A Forest (2012) introduced his melancholic, minimalist approach and earned widespread praise. Albums such as Mare (2016), Graal (Prologue) (2019) and Parallels (2021, with Deutsche Grammophon) expanded his sound, pairing electronic production with acoustic textures and classical reinterpretations. Löffler is also a visual artist, often incorporating his artwork into his releases.

A captivating live performer, he has toured major venues and festivals worldwide. As co-founder of Ki Records, he supports emerging artists while continuing to evolve his own work. In 2024, he released A Life, further cementing his position as a leading figure in atmospheric electronic music.

German producer, DJ, label and record store owner Cinthie has become one of the most sought-after artists in the contemporary electronic scene. Dubbed by many as the Berlin Queen of House, the last decade has seen her touring across the globe to perform at leading clubs and festivals across Europe, Asia, the Americas and beyond.

Cinthie's knowledge of house music's foundations is second to none, as reflected by the vast vinyl collection she has been building since 1995. Her DJ sets cleverly join the dots between the past and the present and plot lines between the swing of New York, the rawness of Chicago and the energy of Berlin.

For more than 20 years her timeless house sounds have come on labels like Heist, Aus Music and her own 803 Crystal Grooves, and in 2020 gave rise to her adventurous and accomplished debut album Skylines - City Lights. Cinthie's DJ-kicks mix in 2022 was another high-water mark.

House music isn't known for its live shows, and even less so for female live artists. But as always, Cinthie is breaking new ground and has recently taken her machines on the road to cult events like Sonar and Mutek. Her influential Elevate.Berlin store is also known for its exceptional taste: every record is handpicked by Cinthie.

Part Miami Bass, vintage house bounce & tribal euphoria, Coffintexts' music is a cocktail of indulgence served straight from the queer underground. When she burst onto the scene in the late '10s, she emerged as part of the city's new guard. Equally influenced by everything from 90s tribal rhythms to Latin American-inflected Club to UK rave. Putting out records on labels including Omnidisc, TraTraTrax, Club Romantico, Club QU, Classico & a forthcoming EP on MARICAS, she has kept dance floors bumping from Miami to Shanghai to Bristol, from Nowadays to III Points Festival to HORST Festival.

If the first thing you know about Craze is that he's the only solo DJ to win the DMC World Championships 3 times over, prepare to get yourself schooled. From day one, every uphill battle that Craze faced was met with intense adversity; every kick while he was down only served to help him rise up even stronger. You want proof? Fine.

His family fled Nicaragua for the US when he was 3 in the midst of a civil war and suffered through Hurricane Andrew in '92. Craze was a total nerd through his teenage years. But while others would chalk this up to a lifetime of hurt, Craze let it fuels his passion. By the age of 20, Craze had won his first DMC World Championship. Two more consecutive wins later, he was (and remains to this day) the only three-time winner of the world's most respected international DJ competition, the DMC World Championship - earning the attention of Time Magazine who proclaimed him America's Best DJ. From Jamaica to Australia, Japan to Nicaragua, Craze has toured the world over, stunning audiences and DJs alike with his top-notch showmanship and masterfully genre-bending sets.

One of those worldwide treks happened to be Kanye West's 2008 Glow In The Dark Tour, where Craze accompanied West as his stage DJ across the globe. Always evolving, Craze founded Slow Roast Records with Kill The Noise, an imprint of the infamous Fool's Gold Records (A-Trak, Kid Cudi, Danny Brown) in 2010. With two releases in 2012 - the Selekta EP and Deeper with Codes, he didn't slow down and instead in April of 2015, released a 4 track EP with the title track called Baby Gurl featuring a young superstar on the rise named Troyboi. The EP also boasted a bonus track with Miami rap legend Trick Daddy called Bow Down. As if that wasn't enough it was also the year, that he brought us one of the most prolific DJ routine videos to date: New Slaves.

With greatness at the forefront of all Craze does, in 2016 he started a DJ super group with Four Color Zack called 2¢ with the primary goal of creating and presenting the most exciting DJ show on the planet. Since then they have been taking their brand of witty wordplay and impeccable DJ skills to the masses through their mixtapes and live shows which can be summarized as a true tour de force.

This year has already seen the release of his EP entitled K.O.S. Knowledge of Self on Slow Roast Records and his Master Class routine video for Serato, I Got The Juice where he revealed not just his DJ skills, but his comedic chops, which begs the question, is there anything Craze can't do? Always humble and putting the performance above all else, Craze has earned his place as an international ambassador of the art of real djing. So when someone asks you Whatchu know about DJ Craze?, feel free to let them know a thing or two.

A DJ and seasoned digger of over 20 years, Dane has been fortunate enough to spread his passion for music across countries and continents. He is a Vancouver resident and the host of Dane's Dance Emporium.

In 2011, Dan Snaith aka Caribou, looking for an outlet for more dancefloor influenced output, began releasing music under the name Daphni. He has released 3 studio albums under this alias – Jiaolong (2012), Joli Mai (2017) and Cherry (2022) on his own record label, Jiaolong. When appearing as Daphni, Snaith performs as a DJ, having played repeatedly at clubs, including Panorama Bar, Printworks, Fabric, Plastic People, Space Ibiza, Trouw, Nitsa, Nowadays, and festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury, Dekmantel, Primavera Sound, Field Day, Melt, Rainbow Disco Club, Junction 2, amongst many others.

Hypho is a British producer, DJ, and founder of Manuka Records, a cutting-edge label launched in 2018. Known for blending dubstep, UKG, breakbeat, and techno, his sound fuses dark textures and percussive energy into a genre-bending signature.

Named “One to Watch” by UKF, Hypho continues to push bass culture forward through his label, touring, Rinse FM monthly show, and relentless commitment to innovation.

Ivy Lab, now the duo of Gove Kidao & J. Fogel, emerged from North London’s bass scene blending hip-hop, leftfield bass, and UK sound system culture. Founders of the acclaimed 20/20 LDN label and club night—hailed as “ultra-innovative” (TimeOut) and a “London standout” (Mixmag)—they’ve earned honors like DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough Label. Their albums Death Don’t Always Taste Good and Infinite Falling Ground cemented their global reputation, with performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, and Red Rocks. In 2025, Ivy Lab return to their Drum & Bass roots with new club releases and tours across the US and Europe.

Originally honing his craft and making his name as a DJ and producer within Bristol’s early Dubstep scene, Kahn has since gone on to forge his own path within, and leave his mark upon, the world of sound system music. Alongside his musical partner Neek, the duo found themselves at the forefront of Dubstep’s new wave of artists throughout the 2010s, as well as being an instrumental part of the Grime revival of the same period.

In 2012 they started their own record label, Bandulu Records, as a means of self-releasing their music and giving a platform to other artists from within their community. Combined with a string of releases and collaborations with staple record labels within the scene such as Deep Medi, Keysound Recordings, Butterz and Terrorhythm; Kahn & Neek became synonymous with a style that incorporated the raw, darker side of Dubstep and Grime music with ranging influences from Dancehall to Goth and Punk.

In 2016 the duo would be invited to curate the 90th edition of the esteemed Fabriclive series, before then featuring on the iconic Essential Mix programme on BBC Radio 1 the following year.

Following a slew of solo and collaborative releases including remixes for internationally renowned record labels such as Warp Records, False Idols, Exit Records and One Little Indian; 2023 saw the release of Lupus et Ursus, the debut Kahn & Neek full length album project that introduced a whole new breadth of range to their music whilst remaining true to their foundational influences and featuring key collaborators from their journey so far.
With over 80 records under his belt and having toured around the world extensively throughout the last decade, Kahn has launched into the 2020s full of experience and renewed purpose. Continuing to explore and innovate with a signature sound steeped in Bristol’s rich musical heritage and sound system culture.

KiNK has become one of house music’s most in demand producers and remixers: his tracks easily stand out in any club night and they are second to none in the most competitive environment electronic music has ever seen. His abilities in finding the ‘sweet spot’ of new machines and even of sounds considered ‘classic’ and to reshape them into totally different beasts would be totally enough to justify the phenomenon. Yet this barely touches the surface of the story.

Arguably the world of dance music has not witnessed anyone else rising so clearly from bottom to top just by the centrifugal force of sheer talent. Being based in Sofia, Bulgaria, without a support network, a campaign or any media hype, his music alone – live and in the studio – created a momentum whose end we have yet to see.

Having met Neville Watson over the internet, he first gained recognition with the duo’s collaborative releases on Amsterdam’s Rush Hour. “Inside Out” and “Full Flight” were huge records in 2008 already, but it was an unassuming video of KiNK tweaking a drum machine at home that landed him a gig at Berlin’s ever emblematic Panorama Bar. By today, he has played the world several times over.

Thus, KiNK’s live sets hold the key to understanding how he creates unparalleled enthusiasm on stage and through his studio output. By now, a guy with a laptop has become the most common sight in a club. Yet the visual discrepancy between the dynamics of sound and the statics of a mouse click has driven most ambitious live acts to sideshow tricks: visuals, LED screens, compensatory dancing – smoke and mirrors. By contrast, KiNK’s live sets simply take the hood off – strictly in terms of sound. A small set up of machines and controllers is all there is, but every knob turned produces an audible result. Often he will pass a machine to the audience and incorporate their input in real time. This happens at mind-boggling speed. Hyperactive, yet holding down grooves to kill for. KiNK’s ability to nail smash beats on the fly, well visibly and audibly, that most people couldn’t program in weeks of studio work – this ‘credibility of sound’ right where it matters is what sparks the love everywhere he visits.

As a Detroit native, Lauren Flax was immersed in the freedom and sonic tapestry of the 90s Midwest rave era. She relocated to Brooklyn years ago, but still brings that Midwest energy and diversity to her DJ and live sets, fusing cutting acid lines with the bounce of Chicago jack and Detroit grooves. An in-demand DJ and producer, Lauren’s extensive and unique discography includes remixes and collaborations with a long list of world-class talent like Grammy-nominated artist Sia, Little Boots and Tricky, and a worldwide tour as a member of the successful trip-hop project CREEP. Her releases on The Bunker NY, Truncate’s WRKTRX, a split EP with Posthuman, and The Sweat EP on Super Rhythm Trax showcase her prowess with techno, house, acid, and electro, while her Out of Reality EP on 2MR dives into more melodic, emotive explorations.

Some DJs burst upon the scene like a supernova, fading just as quickly. Others take years, even decades, to make their way—but those are the ones who make the most impact, thanks to a lifetime of accumulated musical wisdom. Mike Servito is a prime example of the latter. His career is one that’s defined by a slow and steady rise to upper ranks of the deejaying realm—and along the way, he’s perfected a jacking style that equal parts house, acid and techno, a sound that pays homage to the past while being very much of-the-moment.
A Detroit-area native, Servito got his early education by tuning into the Electrifying Mojo and the Wizard (Jeff Mill’s radio moniker). By the early ’90s, Servito was primed to try his hand at the deejaying arts, “I was just kind of cocky about it,” he says. “I knew I could do it.” And he was right—in the DJ hotbed of Detroit, internalizing knowledge gleamed from the likes of Mike Huckaby and Claude Young, he kept working at it until he established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Motor City circuit, eventually becoming a member in good standing with the inner circle of Ghostly International.

But Servito felt the need for a change from the sometimes insular environment of Detroit. By the late ’00s, he was living in NYC with no real game plan in place. As it turned out, he didn’t really need one—he soon fell in with the city’s premier techno party, The Bunker, becoming one of its mainstay residents. Around the same time, he was beginning to make his presence known on a global scale, packing dance floors with gigs around the States and around the world. But it was a hometown festival snub in 2014 that really got things going.

Servito had played Movement once before, in 2011. “And between then and 2014,” he recalls, “I had been playing so many Bunker parties, playing so many great gigs and my profile was rising—so I was sure they would book me again.” The invite never came. Instead, he booked himself at every Movement after-party he could, one of which was the annual No Way Back, a legendary throw down hosted by The Bunker New York and Detroit’s Interdimensional Transmissions label. The set, a riotously sweaty bleeps-and-beats affair, was recorded for posterity; unexpectedly but deservedly, it garnered a nod as the year’s No 1 online Mix of the Year on Resident Advisor.

That was the spark that set Servito’s career aflame, the push that took him to the top. Since then, he’s cemented his status as one of the most respected spinners around, regularly manning the decks at such hallowed halls as Berlin’s Panorama Bar, London’s XOYO and Tokyo’s Contact, not to mention the world’s best festivals—including, of course Movement. And to this day, his approach to deejaying is refreshingly simple: “I really don’t think about it,” he says, “When I’m playing, I just dive in, and I’m OK.” He’s far more than okay—he’s one of the best around.

Opiuo is a genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses. Born in 1984 in rural New Zealand, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held. This extremely formative growth surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa’s electronic music scene exposed him to the celebration of life through self-expression, dance, and giant sound systems. These experiences shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today. Positivity and movement at the core of the project, his music is an infectious electronic based blend of funk, soul, psychedelia, and booty-shaking bass.

Now calling Australia home, Oscar tours his party-starting music throughout the globe. Having spent more than a decade performing at some of the world's most renowned festivals and venues including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Coachella, as well as selling out Colorado’s famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre multiple times, he’s performed his music in an unimaginably large array of formats. From self-built Orchestras, to collaborating with symphony choirs, touring his own Opiuo Band, and as an immersive solo audio & visual show, his live creativity is limitless.

Taking home the New Zealand Music Award for Best Electronic Album in 2014, his catalogue is vast. Having released 6 full-length albums, 10 EPs, and a myriad of singles and remixes over the last 14 years. In his own words, he is still just getting started!

The essence of rave comes alive in Paul Woolford's music, whether he tackles thundering breakbeats, ecstatic piano house, or spring-loaded techno, with a prolific stream of ebullient, floor-filling house - Apple Music.

Originally from Leeds, Paul Woolford began going to raves during the early 1990s, and eventually became a resident DJ at Back to Basics, a legendary techno night that took place in his home city. He gradually taught himself how to produce tracks, and by the end of the decade, he began releasing tech-house records with Tony Senghore, eventually calling themselves The Wackdaddies. In 2000, Woolford signed to 20:20 Vision as Bobby Peru and began releasing house records infused with funk and electro, making his full-length solo debut with 2002's Death of a Player. He additionally released material under short-lived monikers like Hip Therapist and Skip Donahue, and first used his own name on the Subliminal-issued 2002 release “Without You/Only the Wild.” His mid-2000s output, including records titled “Jack Factory” and “The Jackford Files,” paid homage to classic Chicago house, while the three-part Modernist EP series in 2006 was inspired by Detroit techno.

The Bobby Peru single Erotic Discourse was also released in 2006 and became one of his most widely played tracks. In the same year he won the award for “Best Newcomer” in DJ Mag’s lauded end-of-year awards. Woolford launched his Intimacy label in 2007, with the EP Body Double, and his second Bobby Peru album, The Truth, arrived in 2008. In connection with his popular weekly residency at Ibiza's Space club, he mixed the first disc of the Ministry of Sound-issued We Love Space 08. Another mix, Renaissance: Platform, appeared in 2010, the same year he was voted “Best DJ” in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards. Woolford collaborated with Psycatront on that year's Cocoon-issued Thunder single, followed by 2011's Stolen, his first release for U.K. bass label Hotflush. He also released well-received records on Planet E (Achilles) and Phonica (Can't Do Without), and reunited with Mat Playford (whom he previously worked with as Snow Monkeys) for a single as Ford Inc, issued by Throne of Blood.

2012 saw the release of Woolford's ambitious double-CD mix The Lab 04, as well as the Pursuit single on Halo Cyan. Woolford also began releasing white label 12s as Special Request in 2012, taking influence from breakbeat hardcore and jungle. Houndstooth signed the project and issued the full-length Soul Music in 2013; its CD edition came with a bonus disc featuring tracks from the earlier singles and remixes, including his notorious mix of Lana Del Rey 's Ride. Woolford 's second Hotflush single, Untitled, became another major club hit, and was picked up by Ultra Records/Sony (with the subtitle Call Out Your Name) in 2014. Hotflush released a pair of remixes of Erotic Discourse, followed by the 2015 single Orbit. As Special Request, Woolford issued the three-part Modern Warfare EP series on XL Recordings.

He continued using the moniker for his more experimental work, including the ambitious, cinematic double album Belief System (2017), as well as his Fabriclive 91 mix. His more club-friendly output was released under his own name, including the piano-heavy Forevermore on Running Back, as well as more spiritually inclined material such as the Aus Music-released Father, Son & Holy Ghost and Heaven & Earth. As Special Request kept pushing jungle and breakbeat to the limits with releases like 2019's Vortex and Zero Fucks, Woolford released some of his most successful mainstream club material under his own name and won both DJ Mag’s “Best Producer” and “Best Album” for Vortex.

He worked with Chicago house diva Kim English on the 2018 FFRR single Hang Up Your Hang Ups and Newcastle singer/songwriter Karen Harding on You Already Know, issued by Positiva in 2019. Since then, the output under both his eponymous Paul Woolford and Special Request aliases has become what could easily be described as at breakneck speed. Between 2023 and 2024 he’s had 34 individual releases including originals and remixes with Allison Goldfrapp, Lewis Thompson and MNEK, Sonny Fodera and Ella Henderson, LF System and Shayan, Aluna, and Novelist, as well as the much-revered Portals four-volume series, and the recent STREET ANTHEMS self-released LP which coalesced at the end of last year.

Hailing from North London, 30 year old DJ turned Producer Gove Kidao aka Sabre has risen through the ranks of the global electronic music fraternity since his emergence back in 2002; Securing as he goes a reputation as a twisted yet soulful thinker, bringing a grittier sound to the deeper spectrum of Drum & Bass and experimental electronica.

After having spent his earliest years in the Seychelles, Sabre moved to the UK in 1989. Awed by the richness of the early 90’s UK Music scene; he initially started off as Hip-Hop DJ, switching focus in 1995 to the exciting homegrown movement that was Jungle Drum & Bass.

In the years since those first forays into the scene, Sabre has grown to emerge as a key member of a new generation of Drum and Bass producers; set on evolving the scope of the genre – In the process collaborating with artists such as Noisia, Goldie, Alix Perez, Jenna G, Breakage, Icicle, Sam Frank, Rockwell & Ulterior Motive – but to name a few.

Spanning many styles, this initially dancefloor-orientated catalog has evolved to include a more experimental outlook, showcased in his 2010 debut LP, but perhaps best represented in his contribution towards the score for the feature film “Black water Transit” – Directed by Tony Kaye of “American History X” fame.

Currently resident in Thailands’ bustling capital Bangkok, Sabre continues to produce from his base in this Asian mega-metropolis, returning to Europe throughout the year to tour his residencies and collaborate with his fellow Ivy Lab members.

From DJing, to producing, promoting, labels, and management - there isn’t much that Australian born, London based Surusinghe isn't involved in. Experimenting with bass, reggaeton, broken-beat and techno, Surusinghe keeps her mixes fast and unexpecting. Surusinghe's releases to date have been put out by some of the most essential tastemakers in the game — AD 93, Steel City Dance Discs and TraTraTrax amongst others. She's played b2b with a stellar cast of scene-leaders, from HAAi to Bitter Babe and Moktar. The whiplash momentum of her gig schedule has carried her across continents, from Nowadays in New York to Drumsheds in London, Unsound in Krakow to Boiler Room in Naarm. While her sound on this new EP is tooled for the peak time, it's also subtle and supple enough to look beyond obvious ear candy tropes and delve a little deeper into what a dancefloor actually needs.

Surusinghe's duty of care for the rave manifests in everything she does. She co-founded multifaceted platform Drifting to put on seismic club line-ups and revive music-first blog discourse with heavyweight guests such as Bicep. When she's playing on a multi-room bill, she actively works to offer a musical counterpoint to whatever else is happening in the club.
