1. CHYL
CHYL has been making quite a name for herself over the last couple of years. With massive releases on DIM MAK and Monstercat, her signature speedhouse style brings energy wherever she goes. From a fan-favorite EDC set to her song “Fool Me” being recently added to the Rocket League soundtrack, we’re certain this is just the beginning of CHYL’s empire! If you need some tireless dancing, this is where you should be.
2. It Hz (Chee x Jon Casey)
Two of the most exciting names in bass music join forces this weekend! Jon Casey and Chee are debuting their new duo project It Hz, named after their 2017 collaboration “It Hertz, Doesn’t It.” Both artists are known for their experimental sound design skills and high-octane performances, so this pairing just makes sense. If you love crazy bass and heavy drops, this set is for you.
3. Sippy
Australian dubstep icon Sippy has been turning heads everywhere she goes. After conquering the Australian circuit, she’s brought her fire to the US. With some huge tracks under her belt, and previous appearances at Lost Lands, HARD, and other major festivals, she’s no stranger to throwing it down for her fans. Headbangers everywhere, you’ll want to be here!
4. Chuwe
Any fan of Latin house should know Chuwe. His tracks are as energetic as they are infectious. With support from some of the top DJs and worldwide radio play, you may love his songs without even knowing it! Between his numerous awards and steady stream of releases, he’s ready to put on the show of a lifetime this weekend; if you want a pounding kick drum to groove with, Chuwe is where we’ll see you!
5. Emo Nite
Starting from a small group of friends in LA, Emo Nite has grown to one of the largest gatherings of emo music fans in the world. They’ve been throwing weekly parties all around the country and beyond, bringing sounds of the 2000s back to the forefront. Their new collaboration with Insomniac, Grave Rave, is set to be one of the most exciting shows of the summer! If you’re looking for a change of pace this weekend, this is where you’ll find it.
