Introducing the man who needs no introduction but deserves one anyway: the inimitable, the influential, the epic – Flume. Darling of the triple j airwaves and winner of two Hottest 100 countdowns, this Aria, Apra and Grammy-guzzling producer has reset, reshaped and redefined the sound of Aussie electronica for more than a decade and counting. Constantly evolving to make his shows bigger and bolder than ever, both fresh ideas and old favourites from Flume are guaranteed gets you moving.
Dom Dolla slings bigroom party house with catchy hooks, bouncy rhythms and basslines too slutty to meet the parents. He’s been an Australian festival fixture for years but lately our boy has come, seen and conquered the global dance scene. Now approaching 1 billion streams, Dolla is topping charts, winning awards, selling out the biggest venues in the world and in-demand as a collaborator with industry A-Listers from Nelly Furtado to MK. Somehow we get the feeling he’s still warming up…
Atmospheric indie dance rock that makes you want to jump around in the sun with your mouth open – aka the infectious formula of one of UK’s biggest exports, Foals. Touring the world for almost two decades, this multi-award-winning three-piece knows its way around a festival mainstage, striking a seasoned balance between the effervescence of indie pop and a crashing rock’n’roll intensity.
Creators of one of the most iconic logos in dance music, Bicep pack the punch they advertise. With unbridled passion for crate digging and a habit of producing era-defining modern classics, their shows are an expertly curated all-sensory onslaught of epic. Headlining Glastonbury, selling out London’s 10K-cap Alexandra Palace in 5 minutes, producing an anthem like Glue… it’s all in a day’s work for this legendary Belfast duo.
Picture this: you’ve been at the top of your game for decades; a household name in dance music and a master of the three-deck DJ set. You’ve helmed one of the longest running club nights in Ibiza, played every major dance floor in the world (and plenty of freaky little ones too), dominated dance music media and even developed a trademark catch phrase – what do you do next? Introducing Carl Cox’s ‘Hybrid’ set, where the legendary selector crafts new music live with drum machines, synths and more whilst weaving in a classic DJ set at the same time. Epic sounds, awe-inspiring skills and a whole new frontier for a bonafide living legend. Oh yes, oh yes!
Once the juicy little Wild Strawberries of the Australia’s electro golden era, award-winning Sydney trio PNAU has only become wilder and sweeter with age. Now producing five-times platinum hits like Changes and Chameleon like it’s no big deal, they’ve most recently reached stratospheric new heights with their globe-dominating remix of ‘Cold Heart’ with Elton John and Dua Lipa. If it pushes the traditional boundaries of music, societal constructs and consciousness itself – but also is a funky banger – it’s probably PNAU.
Back in 2009, two brothers from the Beaches did the world a favour and started a band. Adding a playful coastal blend to a post-Strokes rock sound, Lime Cordiale slowly graduated from backyard jams to selling out Sydney’s Hordern and London’s Electric Ballroom, one great gig at a time. Familiar fixtures at Lost over the years, we’ve watched them win Arias, dominate countdowns and even land an Idris Elba collab. Don’t let the laidback sound fool you, Lime Cordiale brings huge party energy to the stage, with horn sections, dance breaks and a feral sense of humour.
From pop-rock to r’n’b to indie electronica, we just keep coming back for the latest evolution of Brissie four-piece, The Jungle Giants. Splashed across the pointy end of the Aria and triple j charts for over a decade, the band – and its half a billion global streams – can safely be dubbed Australian indie-rock royalty. Expect a big live sound with plenty of oomph added to The Giants’ trademark nimble guitar licks and bouncy choruses that sets that drink in your hand sloshing right out of its cup and onto the punter next to you. Ahh, festivals!
Limber up for a delicious blend of uplifting pianos, disco drums, irresistible rhythms and smooth basslines: a Jayda G set pays tribute to the dancefloors of the past whilst still sounding fresher than a glass of OJ. Thanks to the mid-pandemic piece of perfection that is Both Of Us, an artist already making waves on the global scene suddenly took it by storm. If you’ve seen her in action, you’ll know that ecstatic, unbridled dance floor joy is inevitable.
One of the biggest dance music duos of all time is en route to Glenworth, packing big, boisterous house bangers with hooks so good they refuse to rust after decades of play. These giants of the noughties – responsible for the classics Where’s Your Head At, Red Alert, Good Luck and Romeo – know their way around a party anthem, yet always prioritise the eccentric and unexpected. They’ve produced with the greats, banked a Grammy and reconfigured their hits into lush orchestral works; yet their hearts belong where it all began – the sweaty centre of the club.
