Sometimes you have to wait for your moment. Parisi is a duo of two brothers from Italy who, over the past few years, have been somewhat in the shadow of their collaborators. They worked on tracks released by Swedish House Mafia, Fred Again.., Anyma, Elderbrook, and Skrillex. They could probably retire now, chilling on the beach just from the royalties of “Turn On The Lights Again…”, but they are now stepping out of the shadows to make a name for themselves. They are coming to Audioriver with a beautiful live act presenting their vision of dance music, where the boundaries between house, techno, and bass music are epically blurred, and you can’t dance without your hands in the air.

Rusko is one of the most important figures on the dubstep scene. The mix he released for Fabric nearly twenty years ago, which he mixed alongside Caspa, became a milestone for heavy bass sounds and a launchpad for his success. The Briton’s sound lies on the border of the most interesting elements of bass culture. On one hand, respect for soundsystems and dub roots, and on the other, a huge dose of very British naughtiness and mischief. This is the guy responsible for popularizing tearout sounds and he still captivates with his sets to this day. Now, wake the fuck up!

Shimza is one of the biggest stars to emerge from South Africa. He started as a modest DJ from Tembisa, near Johannesburg, and today he plays on the world’s largest stages while remaining faithful to the Afro-house and Afro-tech sounds rooted in the language and traditions of his home country. As a producer, he has collaborated with the likes of Aloe Blacc, Camelphat, and Elderbrook. As a DJ, he is renowned for his dramatic sets, where enchanting melodies meet folk vocals and dense polyrhythms. Very soon at Audioriver, we will hear Shimza weave these sounds into a captivating whole!
