Most headline slots

The names printed in the biggest type, trusted to send everyone home.

  1. 1Charlotte de Witte4KNTXT founder and the most visible face of modern hard techno, relentless, acid-inflected, absolutely locked in, and headlining the global boom she helped create.
  2. 2deadmau53The mouse head outlasted every trend it was supposed to date with. Joel Zimmerman builds progressive house like architecture: long, patient, cold-edged, and unbothered by the drop.
  3. 3Sven Väth3Frankfurt techno institution behind the Cocoon label and its long-running Ibiza parties, known for marathon vinyl sets that stretch well past sunrise.
  4. 4Underworld3Karl Hyde's stream-of-consciousness vocals over Rick Smith's builds, with 'Born Slippy' only ever the doorway into a much stranger catalogue.
  5. 5Eric Prydz2Progressive house's perfectionist, with HOLO visuals, Pryda melodies, and drops engineered like Swiss watchmaking.
  6. 6Holy Priest2Masked, anonymous German hard techno producer whose high-BPM sets run on heavy bass lines, with 'No Balance' and a hard techno 'Gangsta's Paradise' among his biggest tracks.
  7. 7Indira Paganotto2Spanish DJ and producer who drags psytrance's acid-soaked momentum into hard techno rooms, with high-BPM sets built on hypnotic, coiling arpeggios.
  8. 8Sara Landry2Hard techno delivered with genuine showmanship: one of the fastest rises in the genre in years, industrial pressure with headliner presence.

Most places played

Whose year reads like a world tour that happened to be made of festivals.

  1. 1KETTAMA14Irish rave-house heat with big-room energy and underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, and Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.
  2. 2Boys Noize11Alex Ridha's brand of electro is abrasive by design: hardware-driven, distorted, and consistently ahead of whatever is fashionable, two decades running.
  3. 3¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U10Osaka-born cult selector Yousuke Yukimatsu (genre-shredding DJ sets that went from viral clips to worldwide bookings) brings anything-goes technique with total joy.
  4. 4I Hate Models9French producer pairing brutal industrial techno with unexpectedly romantic melodies. Heartbreak at 150 BPM, warehouse catharsis with an unexpectedly soft center.
  5. 5Ben UFO8The selector's selector, with Hessle Audio's omnivorous ear and no productions needed; a world-class reputation built purely on what he plays and how.
  6. 6Charlotte de Witte7KNTXT founder and the most visible face of modern hard techno, relentless, acid-inflected, absolutely locked in, and headlining the global boom she helped create.
  7. 7Indira Paganotto7Spanish DJ and producer who drags psytrance's acid-soaked momentum into hard techno rooms, with high-BPM sets built on hypnotic, coiling arpeggios.

  9. 9Tiga7Montreal's arch electroclash survivor, with deadpan vocals, filthy synths, and a sense of humor most techno lacks, 'Sunglasses at Night' included.
  10. 10Underworld7Karl Hyde's stream-of-consciousness vocals over Rick Smith's builds, with 'Born Slippy' only ever the doorway into a much stranger catalogue.

  3. 3Daniel Avery (Live)The 'Drone Logic' architect live brings strobe-lit techno with a shoegaze heart, walls of texture that blur the line between club and gig.
  4. 4KETTAMAIrish rave-house heat with big-room energy and underground credentials, breakbeats and pianos at full sprint, and Galway-to-warehouse momentum fully underway.

  6. 6Avalon EmersonAmerican DJ who spent a decade on widescreen club techno, then made a synth-pop record under her own name and kept doing both.
  7. 7Charlotte de WitteKNTXT founder and the most visible face of modern hard techno, relentless, acid-inflected, absolutely locked in, and headlining the global boom she helped create.
  8. 8I Hate ModelsFrench producer pairing brutal industrial techno with unexpectedly romantic melodies. Heartbreak at 150 BPM, warehouse catharsis with an unexpectedly soft center.
  9. 9KasablancaMelodic techno with actual vocal hooks, built for the moment the lights come up over a field and performed as a live duo rather than a DJ set.
  10. 10Boys NoizeAlex Ridha's brand of electro is abrasive by design: hardware-driven, distorted, and consistently ahead of whatever is fashionable, two decades running.
