Nicky Romero

From:The Netherlands

DJ style:“Progressive, electronic.”

Best known for:“’I Could Be The One’ with Avicii, and my record label Protocol Recordings.”

The world’s top dance festivals hosted Nicky Romero in 2023. Ultra Music Festival in Sao Paulo, S20 in Bangkok, Parookaville in Weeze, Germany, World DJ Festival in Seoul, and EDC Mexico City were just some of his global stopovers.

He’s also been hard at work in the studio, releasing tonnes of new tracks. ‘All You Need Is Love’ was a poppy collaboration with Nico Santos and Jonas Blue, but other hits, such as ‘Give In’, ‘Mahoya’, and ‘Turn Off The Lights’ were geared very much to the dancefloor. ‘Mahoya’ embodies his new Nightvision sound: a deeper, progressive house side of his repertoire. “Over the past year, my focus has been on evolving my club sound, and defining the unique Nightvision sound,” Romero says.

Romero plans to bring Nightvision to the stage with his first solo live show, taking place at AFAS Live in Amsterdam on 2nd December. The DJ/producer tells us he’s been “diligently working behind the scenes” to develop the show, which promises to be spectacular, with special guests, new music and plenty of the biggest tracks from his discography over the years. After that, he’ll be heading to London to play Ministry Of Sound on 8th December.

Le Shuuk

From: Stuttgart, Germany

DJ style:“Hard dance / electro / hardstyle / techno / EDM.”

Best known for: “The tracks ‘Sandmann’, ‘Toast Hawaii’ and ‘Konje’, as well as being a resident and face of WORLD CLUB DOME Festival.”

A mainstay of the electronic scene for almost 20 years now, Stuttgart native Le Shuuk is no stranger to the rigours of touring. In the last 12 months, he decided to overhaul his lifestyle, committing to exercising regularly and abstaining from drinking during his shows. As a result, the DJ and producer, who is a favourite of the German festival circuit, says that he is having more fun on stage than ever. He credits these changes with allowing him to connect on a deeper level with his audiences, as well as redefine his career goals and look with renewed focus to the future.

The new healthy habits clearly agree with him. As well as recently performing at festivals and clubs across Europe, and holding his own Le Shuuk & Friends parties in his home city, he continues to build on the momentum of tracks like 2020’s peak-rave, German language tune ‘Sandmann’ and 2021’s hypnotic ‘Goodbye’ (featuring Xillions). This year he had another star turn with the explosive ‘Konje’, a collaboration with B-Stylezz that combined modern techno and EDM with the traditional elements of Bulgarian folk songs, with the track receiving big support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Amelie Lens, and Joyhauser.
