22Bullets

Not many producers could have a club hit via a despondent mouldy-oldie made famous, decades ago, by both Nancy Sinatra and Cher. But then again, 22Bullets, the artist who collaborated this year with Fedde Le Grand on that addictively bouncy version of ‘Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)’ is not your average artist. (Yes, Guetta’s covered it as well.) It’s all in a day’s work for the man born Varun Sony, who’s made something of a speciality out of working on big-ticket collabs, with recent work with Timmy Trumpet and Dash Berlin also making waves. They’re just two of the latest entries in the Thailand-based DJ’s burgeoning discography, and they won’t be the last: he promises more “mega-collabs, especially with Asian pop stars.”

VIZE

Since bursting onto the music scene in 2018, German duo VIZE have established their own genre ’slap house’. The term reflects the sound of DJ Johannes Vimalavong and music producer Vitali Zestovskih, aka VIZE, each of whom broke out under the VIZE alias after their interpretation of The Wanted’s ‘Glad You Came’ hit on Kontor Records.
