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.
Hugely popular in China and rapidly becoming an international draw, Dexter King (real name Longwen Wang) mixes influences from EDM, hip-hop and pop into his chart-friendly productions and club-filling DJ sets. Discovering dance music through the work of Don Diablo and Avicii, he got into DJing in 2008 when his friend let him have a go on their CDJs in a bar, and he’s since been on an upward trajectory.
