London born DJ, producer and broadcaster Farius has stamped his mark in the world of dance music - with releases on renowned labels such as Anjunabeats, Armada, Enhanced, Future Sound of Egypt to name a few, live shows with leading brands including Ministry of Sound, A State Of Trance, Insomniac and more, he also has found himself at the forefront of dance music radio, having covered regularly on Kiss FM UK and hosting on Nexus Radio in the US.

2025 saw Farius rise to new heights; supporting Above & Beyond on select dates on their album tour, playing alongside Gareth Emery at the iconic Brixton O2 Academy in London, he also made major appearances at renowned festivals including Mysteryland, A State Of Trance in London and Rotterdam, Captured in Malta and more. Alongside his in-demand show diary, he also took things back to his roots where it all started for him - launching his queer trance day party ‘QTS’ in London, selling out the first event and giving the community he grew up in a new sonic experience with a clear vision for the brand.

His signature sound has continuously turned heads in the electronic music world, with celebrated acts such as Audien, Andrew Bayer, Gabriel & Dresden and Tritonal all asking him to remix their music. He has gained the interest of fans around the world with his consistent melody-led, euphoric sound, garnering regular support from industry heavyweights Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, David Guetta and more in their shows and DJ sets, as well as radio support from BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM UK and more around the world. 

Alongside continuing to turn out new music, his natural, seasoned talent for radio and broadcast continues to shine - hosting Nexus Radio (US) events from Miami to Amsterdam interviewing some of dance music’s most prolific artists, providing multiple guestmixes for Sirius XM in the US, and closer to home in the UK covering Friday nights on Kiss FM (UK) - spotlighting his effortless strength behind a microphone and fulfilling his tastemaker prowess as he showcases the best in progressive house and trance, a rare find on UK radio.

Farius’ continued success has proved time and time again he is here to stay - and the next chapter promises to be his most exciting yet.

While it was essentially inevitable that Eloi El would become a musician, the type of music he’s made his name on is something of a surprise. Born Eloi Muhoranimana, the pop/electronic producer was born and raised in the Rwandan capital of Kigali as part of a musical family lead by El’s father, a renowned guitar player who worked across genres including rumba and Afro-Jazz. Together with his siblings, El tinkered in the family’s small recording studio and by age 13 was performing live — playing guitar and singing in the Rwandan language of Ikinyarwanda.  But El’s musical output and life path changed suddenly in 2018 via an unlikely influence: Kygo. Upon first hearing the superstar producer, El redirected his efforts from hip-hop and afrobeat productions to a style of dance music parallel to the Norwegian powerhouse’s. El honed his skills via YouTube tutorials on tropical house, deep house and chill house production. But with these genres having not yet caught on in Rwanda, El knew he had to go global. He dropped his debut song, the darkly bumping “Frozen,” in 2020 and after hustling to get 25 of his tracks released via an array of worldwide imprints, soon became the biggest dance artist in his country. In 2021, destiny stepped in when an A&R from Kygo’s Palm Tree Records got in touch, asking if El had unreleased music. He sent it over a few tracks and a week later was signed to the label founded by his idol. “It was just so insane,” El says. “It was unreal. I was speechless.”
