1. Amelie Lens
The Belgian techno artist of the year, Amelie Lens has been blowing up all around the globe, especially after what she did at Time Warp this April and of course her revolutionary set for Circle at Atomium. Now she makes her way stateside and people could not be more thrilled to get a taste of the raw, authentic experience she offers.
2. Richie Hawtin
Mounting over 1 million followers on facebook alone, Richie Hawtin could probably sell out the Waterfront Park by himself. With almost twenty years of DJ experience, Hawtin has headlined some of the most prestigious festivals and events in club culture to date and continues to define rather than follow musical trends. His minimal techno makes for an extremely special occasion, but you never know what style of techno he will throw down. All you can be certain of is being in awe over his absurd control of the decks.
3. Artbat
The Ukranian duo Artbat has a standard of excellence that would make a pop fanatic understand techno. Their clean production has been recognized and implemented into sets by leading names like Richie Hawtin, Solomun, Tale Of Us, Pete Tong and more. Their break through single was, “Mandrake” on Definition Music and if you haven’t seen their Cercle set at Bondinho Pão de Açúcar, then do that now.
4. Kevin Knapp
With music for the body and mind is house producer and vocalist Kevin Knapp. By taking a bottom up approach to creating music, Kevin Knapp is notorious for house music with urgency that grabs the hips while treating listeners to intellectual intricacies that simulate the mind. Currently based out of Berlin, Knapp has been fine tuning his chops playing for the snobbiest of techno crowds and without falter has emerged within the electronic music scene as a favorite. Get to know Knapp a little better through our exclusive interview.
5. Kaskade (Redux)
It would be a montrousity to not mention such a monstrous name as Kaskade (Redux). Usually, offering fans a titillating EDM performance, for CRSSD Festival fall 2019, Kaskade (Redux) will adjust some nobs to offer a deeper sound. A lot of eyes will be on him to see what versatility he can show, which will likely bring him a huge new wave of loyal fans that formly may have questioned the dynamics of EDM.
