The Reverend:
Catchy hooks, melodies that touch the soul, and powerful chord progressions supported by *phet* beats and driving, growly, groovy basslines.

Born and raised in Paris, Raphaël first took interest in music production at the age of 16, finding musical influence in the hip hop and lounge genres. Over time he began to explore the more electronic side of music, finding inspiration through artists such as Mango and Dinka, which eventually led him in the direction of producing melodic and progressive house. Once finding his stride, he soon decided on the alias of James Woods, a simple combination of two names that have stuck with Raphaël over the years and seemed a fitting alias to go by, thus James Woods was born. Releasing his first track in March of 2011, James quickly began signing new productions, gaining a solid amount of followers and support in what most would consider a short amount of time, thus firmly establishing himself in the progressive house community. Since March of 2011, James has had over 50 releases on multiple different labels, spreading his signature melodic sound far and wide to all corners of the world. Currently James’ true signature sound lies within the progressive house genre, delivering a strong trademark style that delves deep into the melodic and emotional aspects of this universal genre. On top of his passion for progressive house. With so much amazing support and so many great things on the rise for this amazing talent, it’s not hard to see why James Woods is a name that many recognize as a leading purveyor of quality melodic sounds  in the progressive house community.


Tristan Casara is that rare thing in the world of dance music: a musician who understands the world of melodies just as much as he understands the power of the kick drum. He was just a teenager when he began producing music, releasing his first single, Feel the love, in 2005. Since, he has been releasing a steady stream of original tracks and remixes, including Amour, his latest tune signed on Sony & Serial Records.

To see Tristan wind a room into frenzy is something special. Technically he's one of the most impressive DJs in the house scene. Almost remixing records live by playing Keytar, he makes loops, slams tracks together that you’d never think would go and uses vocals over other instrumentals. His sets are so dynamic that at times it’s difficult to see how he can keep the energy up. To put it simply, Tristan Casara creates moments. 

After the amazing achievements of the past few years, some may be forgiven for thinking the future could not get any better for Tristan but his ambition, not to mention talent, show no signs of abating. 

His mission is to make the world a party planet.

Most DJs play music. Kareem Raïhani creates experiences—deep, powerful and ecstatic, each one profound, electrifying, and never quite the same. No matter how many times you’ve danced to his sound, he’ll always take you somewhere new.
Often hailed as the "Shaman of Dance”, he is one of- if not, the most influential Ecstatic Dance Pioneer, he wasn’t just part of the birth of the Ecstatic Dance movement; he helped shape it. Bringing Ecstatic Dance to countless countries, he has been a key role in spreading this freeform dance experience across the globe. Kareem is widely considered as the founder of the European Ecstatic Dance sound, a signature fusion that has influenced not only Europe but ecstatic dance communities worldwide.
Born with Dutch/Moroccan roots and trained as a professional contemporary dancer in Amsterdam, Kareem first spoke through movement. But when he shifted from being on stage in theatres to leading the dance floor through sound, he found his true calling. For over two decades, Kareem has traveled the world, spreading the essence of Ecstatic Dance, being a driving force in the global conscious dance scene and setting dance floors ablaze with music that is unmistakably his. Many of his remixes have become essential Ecstatic Dance anthems, played by nearly every Ecstatic Dance DJ on the planet. Many dj’s have been inspired and influenced by his groundbreaking way of mixing diverse genres into one seamless, hypnotic flow. With his exceptional talent for mixing sounds, rhythms, and moods, Kareem has established himself as a true master of Ecstatic Dance embodying the movement in every cell.
And if you ask anyone who has danced for the first time to his sets, they’ll tell you most of the time the same thing: “We’ve done many Ecstatic Dances, but this... this was something else... beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.” His music isn’t just played—it’s felt. It’s a full-body, heart- opening, soul-shaking journey where deep tribal beats, futuristic rhythms, electrifying grooves and hypnotic melodies that feel like they were made just for you, merge into something truly authentic and often mentioned as transformational.
Kareem continues his mission: to dissolve boundaries, ignite transformation, and guide music and dance lovers to that sacred place where music, movement, and spirit become one. Always reaching for the moment the trance kicks in and the dancer becomes the dance. So if you ever find yourself dancing like never before, dissolving in the music yet more present than ever, you just might have been locked into the magic of Kareem Raïhani.
