Alesso returns to our poll for the 12th consecutive year in 2023. The Swedish prouder, born Alessandro Renato Rodolfo Lindblad, is a core part of the EDM scene who continues to play its biggest events. This year, for example, he played Ultra, back-to-back with Martin Garrix at Tomorrowland, and plenty more epic stages around the world.

As well as that, he also had the privilege of playing live at this year’s 2023 UEFA Champions League Final with the likes of Burna Boy. He appeared with Swedish singer Tove Lo and together they performed their 2014 hit ‘Heroes (We Could Be)’, commenting at the time that, “As a big fan of the sport since I was a kid, it is a dream come true to be a part of football history.” Studio-wise, the master of a catchy hook served tunes like his chunky house remix of S3BZS’s ‘Montagem PR Funk’ and the emotive pop anthem ‘Caught A Body’ with American singer and producer Ty Dolla $ign.

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.
