Jamie Jones

From:UK

DJ style:House

Best known for:“Nasty house music.”

One of last year’s DJ Mag cover stars, Jamie Jones is a DJ who shines brightly in the scene having worked his way up from the London underground club circuit into peak-time festival headliner. DJ, producer, label boss of Hot Creations, and the man behind the Paradise parties worldwide, Jones does it all. Paradise returned to Amnesia for another exceptional season in Ibiza this summer, this time with a tropical jungle concept, Night Of The Jaguar, where Jamie played alongside the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Joseph Capriati, Apollonia, Loco Dice and many more. Hot Creations has been on a roll too, firing out releases from the usual suspects such as wAFF, Amine Edge and DANCE as well as budding new producers like Cassi and Manda Moor. This year he’s been working hard in the studio on his next album that will be released next year, plus some exciting collaborations on the way. “I had a second baby daughter, so have been spending a lot of time with my family and prioritising raising my children, so a little less touring in summer 2023,” Jones tells DJ Mag. This year he also launched a new project, Other World, a semi-live show revealed for the first time at Coachella.

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.
