Charlotte de Witte

Belgian-born DJ Charlotte de Witte has become one of the most sought-after names in contemporary electronic music as a result of her meteoric rise to fame.

De Witte’s dedication has been recognized with prestigious honours like Best Techno at the DJ Awards in 2019 and a prominent residency at BBC Radio 1. But what really motivates her is her unrelenting quest to push both her and electronic music’s boundaries.

FIZZ Stage – Saturday May 27 @ 8pm

Green Velvet

Green Velvet (real name Cajmere) was exposed to the vibrant culture and way of life of house while studying chemical engineering at the University of Illinois.

A few spins of this may be enough to convert someone to house if you happen to be a fan who has tried in vain to do so without success. The most distinctive feature of Green Velvet’s tracks would be his monologues and skit-like happenings, at least to the ordinary electronica fan who has been restricted to genres like big beat and trip-hop.

Fizz Stage – Saturday June 3 @ 6h30pm

Anjunabeats

Produced by Above & Beyond’s Paavo Siljamäki and Jonathan “Jono” Grant, Anjunabeats is a British record label. It began releasing house music with a trance edge in 2001, when it was still simply a trance music label. The family has grown of the years reaching over 25 members producing and djing under its entity.

Fisher has gone from being essentially unknown to becoming a star on the global stage. The tremendous crossover success of the Australian DJ/producer’s song “Losing It” has been a major factor in his quick ascension, but his contagious energy and upbeat demeanour behind the turntables and in videos have also been significant factors.
