Dutch DJ/producer Maddix is known for his techno sound, inspired by the old school rave scene and infused with trance.

Starting producing his new core sound in 2018 with the first release Ecstasy in 2019, he continuously refreshed the landscape with hard techno kicks, '90s sounds, and acid. He organically evolved his sound even more towards techno and trance. Most importantly, Maddix brought the rave back to the club and festival crowds.

After Maddix' hit singles Heute Nacht and My Gasoline, his audience has grown into a truly global collective. His growth has led to appearances at major festivals and mainstages such as Ultra Music Festival, EDC Las Vegas, Dreamstate, Tomorrowland, and headlining tours and club shows around the world.

Maddix’s brand new record label Extatic (XTTC) was launched in 2023. Alongside achieving 500 million+ streams, reaching 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, multiple #1 spots on Beatport, the DJMag Top 100 DJ list entry in 2023 marked a major milestone and collabs with Armin van Buuren, John Summit, Oliver Heldens/HI-LO, Hardwell, Umek, Space92, we can say Maddix has created a movement that is changing the electronic dance music scene.

In 2025, Maddix will have his own summer residency at Amnesia Ibiza with his Extatic events. Maddix has already hosted multiple sold-out all-day raves, where he played b2b sets with various artists in Amsterdam and Miami, such as Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Lilly Palmer, Oliver Heldens, Fatima Hajji, Space92, Hannah Laing, and Will Atkinson, to name a few. Maddix continues to push the boundaries of his collaborative shows, he played face to face with Armin van Buuren at A State of Trance, and at Ultra Miami, he performed his first B3B set with Armin van Buuren and Oliver Heldens. His music and passion are breaking through genres, and Maddix will continue to push his limits globally.

To listen to Billy Gillies is to capture true joy, because every song he produces and DJ set he performs radiates pure passion and vibrant spirit.

 

The Northern Irishman’s blend of quirky Eurodance synths, uplifting trance grandeur and hard-hitting bass rhythms goes beyond catchy melodies and expert timing, as breakout hits “Lagoon” and “Youth” tap into the very essence of what makes a night spent on the dancefloor with your best mates such a special experience.

 

That’s why he’s earned more than 145 million views on TikTok, filled a Creamfields tent with thousands of ravers at 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and why he’s managed to get an official remix of Madison Avenue’s 1999 hit “Don’t Call Me Baby” after ripping the iconic vocal off the internet.

 

Crowds chant his name from Taiwan to Texas because Billy Gillies dares to do something different; something unique to himself. Now, Billy Gillies is the next superstar-DJ-in-the-making, poised to take over the world.

 

Billy’s musical obsession started in the 2000s when his older sister started buying Clubland compilation CDs and dating a local DJ. One night, the boyfriend came over and brought his decks, but when the couple left to go dancing, 11-year-old Billy snuck into his sister’s room and started playing with the turntables.

 

“I was like, ‘what is this music? I love this,’” he laughs. “On the Christmas list for that year was a set of decks.”

 

His mom delivered with his first set of Kam belt drives, and Billy’s been mad for mixing ever since. Each Saturday, he’d head out of the house with a five Pound note and spend it on a new record (Tiesto’s Traffic being particularly influential). In turn, he’d spend the next week learning to mix that record in and out of his steadily growing collection.

 

When he was 17, he got his first taste of true Clubland. A year underaged, he caught an hour-long bus from Belfast to Banbridge and talked his way into a club called Coach. Japanese DJ Yoji Biomehanika and the UK’s own Lisa Lashes dropped heavy hard-house records all night, and Billy started dreaming of his own chance to rock a crowd, proper.

 

He knew that if he wanted to be an in-demand DJ, he’d have to come up with some original songs. In 2011, he locked himself in his bedroom with a copy of Ableton Live and didn’t come out until he’d mastered the basic trance sound.

 

He fell in love with music production and started sending his tracks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, who played them on his show every Friday night. For 19-year-old Billy, there was nothing better.

 

After spending much of his 20s as a self-described “party animal,” 28-year-old Billy once again locked himself inside his bedroom and churned out a ton of original tunes. The result? A spot on the lineup of Luminosity 2019 alongside major trance legends Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery and more. He played a set of all-original material, and when a recording was posted to Soundcloud, it earned more plays than any of the headliners.

 

“I’d brung a fresh sound into the trance scene,” Gillies says. “Everyone was making the same type of thing, where I just look back at my influences growing up and crammed it into the main trance style.”

 

International booking requests flooded in, sending him to Argentina to Australia—and then COVID struck. Many of his peers saw no point releasing music to a locked-down crowd, but Billy saw a chance to experiment.

 

“People need music in hard times, not just for clubs,” he says. “The music I was making around that time was proper emotional melodies, and it was resonating with everyone.”

 

He’d share each tune in a rough clip to Facebook or TikTok, and every post brought shares in the thousands. His fan base wasn’t just growing, it was ballooning, due in part not only to his masterful skills in the studio but also his effervescent personality that spills into each tune.

Modest from his core, yet exceptionally passionate when it comes to performances and creating music, Adaro is unquestionably one of the most ambitious artists within the Hardstyle genre. As a DJ, Adaro has the look and feel of a true entertainer–his undying energy and widespread knowledge of music are just some of his greatest assets on stage.

Adaro’s sound can be simply described as a sophisticated and diverse approach to Hardstyle, as this pioneer thrives on blending in a range of different sounds and influences. With his taste ranging from melancholic melodies right up to underground, hard-hitting tracks, Adaro loves to create energetic Hardstyle under a broad spectrum.

His hard beats are notorious for getting fans going on the dance-floor and his diverse and addictive sound has drawn in a remarkable number of listeners worldwide. Adaro is best known for major hits like “Haunter Of The Dark,” “No Time To Sleep,” “For The Street,” “The Sky Is The Limit” his official remix for Marco V’s “Godd,” “Flame Up High,” his Intents Festival 2017 anthem “Circus Of Insanity” with Digital Punk and of course, “Touch A Star” with B-front feat. Dawnfire, which came in at #4 in the Q-dance Top 100 of 2018.

Performance-wise, Adaro has brought his undying energy to Hardstyle’s most eminent podiums, with performances at Hard Bass, Defqon.1, Amsterdam Dance Event, Reverze, X-Qlusive, Rebirth Festival, Intents Festival, WiSH Outdoor (The Netherlands and Mexico), Dominator, The Qontinent, Decibel Outdoor Festival, Q-BASE, Loudness, Origins and many more. Internationally, this Hardstyle legend has toured countries like The United States, Taiwan, Chile, Mexico, Australia, Finland, Sweden, Czech Republic, Scotland, Ireland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and more!

From humble beginnings to a long-lasting, serious career as a musician, Adaro is recognised as one of the strongest full-package leaders in Hardstyle music. Not only focused on his solo career, but Adaro is also one who continuously supports the next generation by offering advice, collaborating with youngsters and showcasing their music on large podiums. His musical legacy is based on productions that shine with impeccable sound design and technique and his down-to-Earth attitude towards the industry makes him one of the most inspiring artists that Hardstyle has to offer.

His journey has been nothing short of inspirational and proves that hard work, passion and devotion can bring you a long way. All pieces of the puzzle fit together; from his top-tier productions to his performances and image, Adaro isn’t just a DJ and producer, but an artistic innovator.

Electronic music lovers know Dimitri and Mike Thivaios as the monolithic brotherly duo "Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike". The brothers are superstars in the electronic music scene that earned the adoration of crowds around the globe. From becoming the first-ever duo to win the World #1 DJ's crown at the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll in 2015 and 2019, the twosome has continued to stand firm and stay in the top 5 positions in the Poll since 2014.

Collecting more Gold and Platinum records than they can count, Dimitri and Mike have won the hearts of icons across genres collaborating with heavyweight hitters like David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Natti Natasha, Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Ne-Yo, Wiz Khalifa and many more. An invite from Disney Records led the brothers to work with Hans Zimmer on a big room flavour of the film's lead score 'He's a Pirate' for the fifth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise Dead Men Tell No Tales. They also created the theme for Mortal Kombat 11, the latest instalment of the iconic video game series.

After a stellar rise in the scene for many years, their monumental single 'The Hum' starring Jean Claude Van Damme and Charlie Sheen in the music video scaled new heights. Netting the #1 spot in their native Belgium, the single went platinum, with the music video receiving over 200 million views online. The brothers repeated their magic touch on the Ne-Yo collaboration 'Higher Place', which spent ten weeks atop the Belgian singles chart and secured the #1 Billboard Dance Chart spot. They claimed the #1 spot again with the release of their Diplo collaboration 'Hey Baby' and then again when 'Selfish' featuring Era Istrefi secured the #1 position on the Billboard Dance Chart. Their summer 2017 single 'Complicated', with David Guetta and Kiiara, became one of the year's biggest hits with over 165 million streams on Spotify and 88 million YouTube views. The duo joined forces with W&W on 'Crowd Control', the sonic representation of their iconic dance move. Their involvement on the All-Star collaboration 'Instagram', which included David Guetta, Afro Bros, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha, gifted the scene with one of the biggest songs of the summer in 2019 and which currently sits at more than 280 million streams on Spotify. In 2020 they released this monster hit Do It! together with Kimberly Loaiza and Azteck. The single has received more than 235 million TikTok views and over 80 million total streams.

The launch of their yearly homecoming arena concert in 2013 was another example of their enduring appeal. Nearly a decade later and after 25 sold-out concerts, welcoming more than 500,000 fans, Dimitri and Mike had firmly brought the madness of the biggest annual arena show to Antwerp's Sportpaleis. However, it's their position as the ambassadors of the worldwide phenomenon Tomorrowland which has seen them grow to an unprecedented level of stature, playing their part in the incredible rise of the world-famous Belgian festival.

Dimitri and Mike are locking up more than 30 million fans on social media, combined with billions of music streams and video views. In the meantime, they tour the world, selling out stadiums and arenas with immersive live performances.

With a globe-trotting tour schedule while running one of the most iconic record labels in the scene and producing some of the biggest electronic records of the past decade, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have proved that together, they have what it takes to dominate the scene as they persistently strive to give their global fan base the best experience and memories feasible.

DJ, producer and live instrumentalist, Timmy Trumpet is undoubtedly the most explosive name in the electronic music scene. An award-winning, multi-platinum selling recording artist, Timmy’s discography boasts of over 3 billion streams on Spotify alone, and includes collabs with artists like Armin Van Buuren, DV&LM, Alok and many more. His breakout single “Freaks” has clocked over 1 billion streams globally, becoming the highest selling single of all time on Ministry of Sound Australia. 

Famous for his high-octane live sets, Timmy Trumpet’s Tomorrowland performances sit among the most viewed on the world-famous festival’s YouTube channel.
