The Gaslamp Killer
The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose electric style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Get ready for anything BYO Gaslamp
Deetron
Switzerlands number 1 electronic export. Been producing seminal techno for years, a cross between Detroit mood and 4/4 dancefloor bombs. Think Joris Voorn meets Adam Beyer or Marco Carola. A legend.
EDX *
Enormous Diverse Xample (of a genius) might not be an accurate but for sure a possible interpretation of the three letters EDX. Productive and successful for more then a decade, Italian native Artist, Producer, DJ, and multi-talent EDX, has been and still is a well known name in the dance since in and outside of his home base Switzerland.
Jochen Miller
Bringing a visionary, never-heard-before crossbreed of progressive, electro& trance to his musical activities, Holland’s Jochen Miller embodies thenew decade’s freeform, Big Room sound. From his earliest turntable days he’s disregarded traditional EDM borders to bring countless global dancefloors to critical mass.A spinner without parallel, he’s comprehensively conquered his home-country,playing tent-pole events including Trance Energy, Mysteryland & Dance Valley before venturing abroad.
Arty
Russias Arty is a trance superstar on the rise. Do yourself a favour trance fans and don’t miss this guy, badass.
Yousef ***
Recording for Sven Vath’s Harthouse label, Yousef won the Muzik Magazine competition back in the 90s as a bedroom DJ. Since then he has taken the world by storm, aligning with Carl Cox with his heavy UK accent, and rocking the place with his big room sound techno and electronic funk. Check his productions!
Peter Van Hoesen ***
Peter Van Hoesen is a DJ, live act and producer of rare quality and consistency. Between running his label “Time to Express”, releasing his debut album and holding down residencies at Fuse and the annual Labyrinth Festival Japan, Van Hoesen is one of the most talked about acts in techno circles at the moment.
Myon & Shane 54
Think 2 Many DJs! Except, for trance and progressive. Myon and Shane 54 are exciting, fresh and present a new approach to trance music. Interesting to say the least.
Destructo **
Destructo (Gary Richards) began DJing and producing undergrounds in the early 90s in Los Angeles, most notably creating RaveAmerica at Knotts Berry Farm.. After carrying his success to the metal world with No Name Mgmt, Destructo returned to his roots in 2007 by creating HARD. HARD events such as the HARD Haunted Mansion have become synonymous with cutting edge electronic music and unforgettable experiences, where the talent rosters reflect Destructo’s own impeccable DJ sets.
Acid Jack Live *
Check the major DJ’s charts over the few months or openings in Ibiza and many of the new tunes from Acid Jack (not plural) has been dropped. Ant has been an integral part of Stereosonic from day dot and even co-directed our viral video/TVC this year.
Jon Rundell ***
Intec (Car Cox’s label) label manager and head honcho, mainly produces quality dancefloor techno and fusion sounds. Recording for Intec after a long stint on Paul van Dyk’s Vandit LABEL. 4th time to Australia and commanding quite a following.
Shockone
Perth probably isn’t the first place in the world you’d expect to experience a drum and bass explosion, but that’s exactly what’s happened. Leading the charge is Karl Thomas – better known as ShockOne – whose melody-infused drum and bass feels just as home on the dance floor as it does on the radio.
Beni
For someone so young, it has been a long journey whether it be one of the founding members of “Thee Bang Gang” or “Riot in Belgium”, Beni has always been ahead of the back. Now a solo artist, backing it up with alot of touring and partying. We can’t wait for Beni to rock Stereosonic this year.

DJ Stretch, from Holland is the legendary voice many know from those amazing Dutch events. Cmon!
