Illenium

Since his 2013 debut with his eponymous EP on Prep School Recordings, Illenium has racked up an impressive discography including three artist albums and a series of Billboard Dance Chart top ten placings. He’s also turned his production skills to his peers, remixing artists like The Chainsmokers, Flume and Marshmello. He specialises in an epic and melodic version of the dubstep sound which also draws on influences from trap, hardstyle and future bass and which has proved hugely popular. Illenium seems to be able to turn out massive, catchy choruses with ease, as showcased on his Big Beat release from March, ‘Hard To Say Goodbye’ featuring Chloe Angelides. He then kept the pressure up all year with a stream of emo-bangers, with further Big Beat releases and EPs on Astralwerks before moving to 12Tone Music.

Marco Carola

Marco Carola has been synonymous with what has become known as business techno for the last decade. He’s one of Ibiza’s biggest draws thanks to his own Music On night, and is just as big in the festival game given that he hosts his own Music On weekender in Amsterdam each May. This year, of course, it was postponed, as was his full Ibiza season, leaving fans desperate for some of that stripped back, rolling minimal techno that is known as the Neapolitan sound.
