We’re only a week away from Elements Music & Arts Festival, so it is time to start looking at those set times and locking in your schedule. A few weeks back, we shared our Lift Off article, which detailed all the outstanding updates and new premium options available at this year’s edition. Now we’re back with recommendations for artists to get to know at Elements 2025.
Max Low
While this might sound like the name of a male DJ, Max Low is actually a duo of talented female producers with roots in Seattle and now based in Los Angeles. They make catchy house tunes ready to get the dancefloor moving. Max Low has featured at West Coast fests like EDC Las Vegas and Day Trip LA and toured major cities across the US. You can see them make their Elements debut on Friday at the Air Stage from 6:30pm.
The Illustrious Blacks
We profiled this prolific Brooklyn-based duo last year, but sadly, Friday’s storm rained on their parade. Thankfully, The Illustrious Blacks are back for 2025 with their futuristic funk, hypnotic house, and synth-pop, ready to pulsate positivity across The Poconos. The Illustrious Blacks are more than just music producers; they dazzle crowds with dance moves and eclectic outfits, drawing inspiration from legends like Prince, David Bowie, and George Clinton. Get ready for their fabulous performance on Saturday at the Air Stage from 2:30pm.
Capochino
This rising dubstep producer has been releasing music since 2019 and really stepped up his game after the pandemic. He’s gained recognition from industry heavyweights with recent releases on Liquid Stranger’s WAKAAN, Subtronics’ Cyclops Recordings, Excision’s Subsidia Records, BTSM’s Kannibalen Records, and Insomniac’s Bassrush. He stood out in support for Alleycvt on her “Feel It” tour and made his festival debut last year at Home Bass 2024. Catch this Monterrey native now residing in Austin, TX, when he makes his Elements debut on Saturday at the Water Stage from 4:15pm.
Baby Kush
Familiar to those in the underground bass scene of Los Angeles, Baby Kush is originally from upstate New York. She found her passion for music through small-town campout festivals and brought that energy with her to LA. Beyond her skilled music production, Baby Kush is also the founder of Bass n Babes, a music collective and label that curates and amplifies the reach of queer, femme, nonbinary, and LGBTQ artists in the EDM scene. Baby Kush is fresh on the festival trail this year and makes her Elements debut on Sunday, opening the Water Stage from 12:30pm.
AHEE
With a discography that stretches over 10 years, Ahee is ready to spread his love and light at Elements. His Brain Ticklers EP was released last year and featured a handful of remixes from a diverse range of bass artists. He released his Wubcraft EP on Bassrush in April with 2025 singles on Monstercat and WAKAAN as well. Ahee has played some of North America’s biggest fests, including Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, Shambhala, and Lightning in a Bottle. Now prepare to see him play Elements at the Water Stage on Sunday from 8pm.
To view the full Elements lineup and set your schedule, check out the new-look Elements app. Of course, Elements is still one of the most sustainable festivals in the US and proudly independent from big business event organizers.
On top of the loaded lineup, Elements’ campground Vibe Villages offer both pregame and afterparty programming, so be sure to check in with the numerous renegade stages before and after hours, like @renegade.nyc, @solarsounds.us, @rec.proj, and @420r.ave, to name a few. We’ll be back with our Launch Guide early next week to review maps, logistics, and all the need-to-know information before coming down to Long Pond. Until then, last-minute tickets are still available, and you can hit up Elements’ social media handle below for more info.
