Kraków and Ostrava share a mission! This triple threat from the south hitting the Hybrid stage is a powerhouse collaboration between Shandrill, Beaty, and Mila207, DJs who haven’t just been performing across Europe for years, but actively co-creating its scene. You might know Shandrill from the Neurodydaktyka series and her previous Audioriver appearances. Beaty is a key figure at the Beats for Love festival, and together with Mila, she co-organizes the Trident parties held in Žilina, Slovakia. Quite the CV, right? It’s immediately clear we’re dealing with true experts in broken beats.

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!

There are legends of electronic music – and then there is The Prodigy. “Breathe,” “Firestarter,” “No Good (Start the Dance),” “Smack My Bitch Up,” “Voodoo People,” “Diesel Power”… Liam Howlett’s talent for building dystopian creations from oftentimes shocking samples is unmatched. The project emerged at the creative peak of rave culture and became a bridge between the underground of British dance music and the rest of the world. Its unique sound on the border of hardcore, jungle, techno, hip-hop, and rock music made the band an icon of alternative culture, no matter which subculture you belonged to. In the 1990s they were synonymous with rebellion and futurism. Their incredible live performances allow them to maintain their status to this day. The Prodigy will be one of the headliners of the 20th anniversary edition of Audioriver Festival.
