An intergenerational meeting on the D&B scene. On one side, Friction, an artist responsible for running labels like Shogun and Elevate, and a veteran with over two decades behind the decks. On the other, Lens, a rising star of the genre, who in five years has reached such a position that she has just become a BBC Radio 1 resident. We know it will be energetic, we know there will be a cross-section of drum & bass subgenres, but who knows what surprises we can expect, as Friction has had excursions into brostep, and Lens recently released a garage track.

Mischluft is one of the main artists riding the wave of bouncy techno and modern trance. He willingly incorporates vocals and song structures. He boldly references eurodance, NRG music, and electro house. In short, he does everything to make you feel warm and pleasant on the dancefloor, wrapped in a nostalgic cloud of longing for the carefree days of the 2000s.

Nico Moreno is the chief bad boy of the hard techno scene. The Frenchman has been showing for several years now what an insolent rave should look like today. He plays hard, fast, and the tracks he selects feature echoes of various hardcore subgenres, the galloping bass of psytrance, and industrial sounds. And although he wreaks havoc on stages worldwide, he built his position not only by captivating crowds on the dancefloor but also by letting the audience behind the scenes. Nico regularly shows what the life of a traveling DJ looks like, and it turns out that despite great success, one can remain a cool, humble guy. And that is something that is valued immensely.
