line-up 2025

  • As an artist Ran-D represents his crowd in more that one way: he comes from their ranks. Starting as a visitor on the same events as where he now performs in front of them. And he shares their enthusiasm, knowing exactly what they need and to go beyond that, topping everyone’s expectations. Respect for his fans is something that grows from within; a deeper understanding what hardstyle truly is about. “I share the same passion for music as my audience, that is what drives me.”

    That specific emotion Ran-D gives to tracks comes from his own voice and mind. Not only does he write every single line of text, he eventually sings every word. With love for edits, small details in a track, this guy takes great care of his productions. “I set high standards for myself, so it is a challenge to improve yourself and to come up with a unique product every time, I’m really a perfectionist.” A good sound designer creates unique and original sounds, that’s what makes Ran-D’s tracks distinctive to the public. Ran-D ´s impressive list of performances is an enumeration of major hardstyle events. To name a few: Qlimax, Hard Bass, Defqon.1 Festival, Decibel Outdoor Festival, Thrillogy, Reverze, Q-BASE, X-Qlusive and The Qontinent. At the first two events, he even got involved as a partner in crime with Gunz For Hire.

  • Smashing through the barriers of the conventional and carving a path for himself, Macky has turned the heads of some of the industries biggest players; to become one of the most promising and spectacular artists in drum and bass music today.

    Having learned the art of mixing at just ten years old, Macky relentlessly practised mixing in his bedroom, cultivating that undeniable passion to one day, be a main stage artist. At 16 he got his first gig in a small club and this fuelled his thirst to forge a career in music.

    From weekly radio shows to playing gigs around the UK and Europe, Macky wanted to carry on building on this creative vibe and soon found himself going to college to study Music Production learning his craft and honing his studio skills to give him both the desired confidence and knowledge to push forward making his own original tracks which would eventually change the sound of Drum & Bass.

    These new found skills lead to Macky releasing a whole list of dancefloor bangers which culminated into ‘Sway’ an album released in 2016 which went into the top 20 of the charts across the UK and Europe. The support for Macky from the general public was nothing short of amazing, something he will cherish forever. With support from DJ’s on Radio One, 1xtra, Kiss FM and Rinse Fm, his music is really making waves, not just in the clubs but over the airwaves.

    If that’s not enough, Macky is one of the members of the biggest act in DnB right now, SaSaSaS, which has been causing a major storm in the festival world and selling out club shows across Europe. The group have an upcoming USA & Australia tour amongst a solid club and festival schedule, so all in all, the kid with dreams of making the main stage have become a reality but only down to hard work and progressing and forming his own unique style and sound which music lovers have been drawn too.

  • From a young age, Coone has been mesmerized by music in all it’s different shapes and forms. The creation of his successful label Dirty Workz was a huge step in this young man's carreer, allowing him to take his music beyond even his own expectations and also giving new talents within the Hard Dance scene a respectable platform to launch new and exciting sounds into the scene.

    By the age of 24, Coone was able to lay down an almost impossible feat; completely selling out one of Belgium's largest venues with over 10.000 Hard Dance fans for an exclusive event- Coone & the Gang. The event has certainly become one of Coone's most memorable moments, a clear pillar in his life which marked the beginning of big things to come and completely opened the Hard Dance scene in Belgium, boosted by national tv and media coverage. As collaborations with some of Hardstyle's biggest names rolled in, Coone was able to impress the world with his unique sound within Hardstyle, imprinting a distinct signature sound into his productions. His experience has lead him towards a new "Challenge"; to create an album in 30 days including collaborations with some of the Hard Dance scene's superstars. The album was met with great support in the scene, catapulting Coone to new heights. Coone's success within Europe has opened up many doors for him as his eyes are fixed on the horizon, towards the international Hardstyle scene in countries such as Australia and the United States, with a World Tour already in the making. Without a doubt, Coone lives and breathes Hardstyle. His passion shared by thousands of like-minded souls all over the world, each speaking a universal language. Music. A binding force uniting us all.

  • Martin Jensen is one of the biggest DJ names in the world and one of the few Danish DJs who have managed to achieve true international success.

    The 32-year-old DJ and producer from Silkeborg knew from an early age that performing and making music was the path he wanted to follow in life. In 2015, he released his first single, "Si", built around the world-famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic celebration. The single marked the beginning of Martin Jensen's journey towards stardom, and with the release of the follow-up, "Night After Night", in the same year, he was well on his way. The single "All I Wanna Do” cemented his position as one of the leading hitmakers in the nordics, as the release received a platinum certification in all the Scandinavian countries.

    However, it was the megahit "Solo Dance" that catapulted him to the international charts and made it clear that the world of DJ’s had a new superstar. The single reached a position as no. 25 on Spotify's Global Top 50 chart. With Top 20 rankings in 17 countries and a no. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, "Solo Dance" gave Martin Jensen his international breakthrough. At its peak, the track had over 1 million daily streams.

The single now has more than 750 million streams on Spotify.

    The combination of Martin Jensen's ability to deliver spectacular live shows, an enormous global fan base, and the talent to create hits with international potential was recognized by the world’s biggest club music magazine, DJ Mag, where he entered the annual top 100 DJ ranking. He first appeared on the list in 2016 as number 83, in 2017 he was number 70, in 2018 number 54, and in 2019 he reached his highest position so far as number 45. Being on the list for four consecutive years is an achievement no other Danish DJ has ever accomplished before.

    The enormous popularity led to Martin Jensen performing at the world’s biggest electronic festivals and clubs such as Tomorrowland in Belgium, Ushuaïa in Ibiza, Lollapalooza, Marquee, and the world's largest party venue, World Club Dome.

    In 2021, Martin Jensen created ME MYSELF ONLINE, an inventive concert concept born during the COVID-19 pandemic. The show in Aalborg reached an audience of 1.5 million, making ME MYSELF ONLINE the most-watched online stream in 2021.

    Martin Jensen has released music with some of the biggest artists on the planet, such as Rita Ora, Ava Max, Sigala, Katy Perry, Cardi B, Jason Derulo, James Arthur, The Vamps, Timmy Trumpet, and Ed Sheeran. “Nobody” with James Arthur has gained more than 239 million streams on Spotify, and the remix of “Day ‘N’ Nite” with Stefy De Cocco and Ben Hamilton has over 96 million streams. Martin Jensen’s songs has surpassed – extreme - 5 billion streams in total on Spotify.
