At the mainstage you will listen to the best techno music you’ve ever heard from famous techno superstars like Jeff Mills, Stingray and Octave One. At the smaller, more intimate stage, the style is more Tech-House minded with Dutch heroes like Prunk at the decks. You’ll hear the international sound of Berlin, Amsterdam and Detroit. We have collaborations with the legendary techno club Tresor 31, Berlin and PIV Records to make that happen.

Esther Dune

Handmade
B2B Esther Dune!
An integral part of the Tresor resident team since 2009, Handmade earned his stripes in the rocky terrain of the Berlin nightlife. Little by little he developed his pumping original mix of superior and timeless dance styles that have particularly influenced his experience. However, this was not developed entirely in the German capital on the Spree River but rather near another large body of water: Lake Michigan in Chicago.
He spent a few months in Chicago but that was clearly enough to lose himself in one of the richest dance music narratives of the planet, by listening his way through entire record stores and checking out the local scene. The combination of abundant sexiness and spiritual depth, etched into the vinyl of Trax, Dance Mania and Cajual, seemed to parallel a core basic human instinct about the experience of fun.
Prunk
Cuartero
Award-winning Spaniard Cuartero has quickly made a name for himself. In 2015 he was titled Best Newcomer DJ at the DJ Awards and then in 2017 he won Best Tech House Artist and Artist Of The Year at the Vicious Music Awards. Recent performances at Elrow Festival, Music On and Pyramid/Amnesia Ibiza.
Anil Aras
Anil Aras has been a rising star behind the decks the last couple of years, playing at Glastonbury Festival, Ibiza and all over the European mainland, as well as getting worldwide appreciation for his own productions. As an artist, he is utterly dedicated to please every inch of the room he walks into.
Aron Volta
Aron Volta came crashing into awareness from relative anonymity in 2019 when he became one of
the bestselling deep house artists seemingly overnight. Leading up to this moment were stellar
releases on Blind Vision, Madtech and Pusher Records.
PIV frontman Prunk and label manager Chris Stussy gave the Northern Dutch producer a platform
after being blown away by his demo. In the year that followed, Aron Volta became an oracle to many
of the PIV artists and even worked as an engineer on some of the music.
With one of the summer’s most memorable tunes ‘Bocado’ under his belt, Aron Volta has started to
secure international gigs, the first of which was playing the closing set at Egg LDN.
The future is looking bright for the humble Dutchman with releases confirmed on vinyl only imprint
Doppel Audio, a remix for Alex Ranerro on the mighty King Street Sounds.
Noumé
B2B Aron Volta!
Originating from The Hague, Noumé is experiencing the nightlife from different angles.
Started in her early 20’s while organizing and attending lots of electronic music events, now
she’s behind the decks spreading her deep underlying love for music.
She is hosting her own show at the London based radio station ‘The Underground Sessions’
by the well-respected DJ Caspa and has graced line-ups with artists such as Prunk, Sidney
Charles and Chris Stussy.
Her soulful mixture of sounds goes from house with more groove to deeper levels with a
minimal touch. Not one to conform to one genre. Currently she is working on her first
productions in the studio. Make sure to keep an eye on her in the nearby future with new
exciting music on the way!
