Le Twins

From:Mexico

DJ style:“Tech-house / psy-trance / big room techno / singers / songwriters.”

Best known for:“The massive energy on stage, plus the fusion of singing live over Tracks and doing the live act with drums.”

Mexican DJ duo Le Twins, aka Karen & Karla de la Garza, stormed into the Top 100 DJs poll for the first time last year and it’s clear that the only way is up. They’re chiefly known for their charismatic stage presence, performing together and encompassing live vocals into their sets that cruise through bass music, trap, EDM and tech-house with a Latin touch. Right now they’re still riding the waves of their single ‘Takata’ on Spinnin’ Records off-shoot label SPRS, released at the beginning of 2023 — their biggest hit to date. Their newest single came on Mixmash Records, a collaboration with producer Angemi called ‘Entre Tu Y Yo’ — meaning ‘between you and me’ — which is a bass-heavy banger. They’ve toured across Europe, Asia, India and Mexico, and have been on the festival circuit with gigs at EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and more. “We have been focused on perfecting our own new sound, writing lyrics in Spanish for electrónica tracks as we are singers and songwriters as well,” the twins tell DJ Mag.

Hero of 2023: “Skrillex, Peggy Gou.”

Fave tune of 2023:“AnymaEternity’.”

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.
