The lineup for the 90s session includes Grammy-winning DJ and producer Danny Tenaglia, one of the most influential figures in tribal house and techno, renowned for his global underground compilations and global anthem “Music Is the Answer.”
He’s joined by Brandon Block, a true UK clubland icon and 1990s superstar DJ whose cheeky charisma and larger-than-life energy made him one of the era’s most recognisable figures; Darren Emerson, a seminal UK DJ and producer, well known as a key member of Underworld from 1990 to 2000, contributing to their rise as one of the most influential live electronic acts of the era; and Altern 8, legendary rave pioneers, whose hardcore rave and acid techno soundtracked the explosion of British rave culture in the early 1990s.
Leading the 00s sessions are Germany’s Booka Shade (Live). The Berlin-based pioneers of melodic house and techno are renowned for shaping the sound worldwide, known for key tracks such as “Body Language” and “In White Rooms,”.
They’ll be joined by Crookers, a defining part of the late-2000s blog house and electro movement, best known for the global smash “Day ’n’ Nite (Kid Cudi vs Crookers)” and the iconic “Salmon Dance (Crookers ‘Wow’ Mix)” for The Chemical Brothers; Riva Starr, a driving force in global electronic music, well known for his collaboration with Fatboy Slim on the global anthem “Eat Sleep Rave Repeat”, and a catalogue that bridges underground and mainstream dancefloors worldwide; and Sinden, a pioneer of the fidget house and bass-driven club sound that defined late-2000s electronic music, celebrated for his work with Switch and the influential FabricLive.50 mix.
