AKURAID
In 2021, I had my first major gig as a DJ, and this was the most important step in my career so far. Starting with Afro-House, it didn’t take long until I ventured into Tech-House and EDM. I already played support for “Jerome,” “East Beat Brothers,” and “T.Noize”. Why i should win? With my music, I’ll take you on an unforgettable journey, bringing you a uniquely exotic experience.

Today, his style is characterized by a unique blend of Deep House, Melodic House, Tech House and Techno.
AVE
Emerging from the streets of northern Italy, AVE is opening doors for Bass House with groovy tunes and heavy baselines. With millions of streams, AVE has gained support from global artists like Timmy Trumpet, Valentino Khan, and Matroda. Their underground vibe and high-energy performances have landed them on major stages in Italy and Austria, including the Electric Love Festival, Nameless Festival, and Crazy Castle Festival.
FABIAN KRAUSE
I’m Fabian Krause, 24 years old, from Germany and music is my second language. I feel music differently as others, I live by music. My biggest dream is to share my emotions with the listerns, create a unique experience and moment with them and make a big impact in the music industry with my sound.
MAROOX
Maroox is a young, German DJ & music producer with over 28 million streams on Spotify. The young DJ shines with a technically strong appearance, good moderation, as well as a track selection that sticks in your head and also contains own exclusive edits and own tracks.

So it will definitely be exciting when you embark on the journey of this young talent.
PAUL ARISTO
Man on a mission who translates his visionary ideas into music and video. He refuses to adhere
to tired formulas or follow the latest trends; instead, he forges his own path. In 2020, Paul
Aristo unveiled their first EP titled 'Together', quickly capturing the music scene's attention.
Paul released his debut album of 2023 titled 'Chainless', a fushion of pop and dance music.
PEAKATRONX
Being a DJ since 2016 I was enthusiastic about the art of combining different tracks in some way and creating my own story with them. Music is the language of emotions and lasting memories for me. It transcends genres and therefore makes me feel at home in so many genres. My credo is: I play what I like to listen to as a dancer on the dance floor myself, bring that with my music selection and energy behind the decks and thus back to the dance floor. I already placed at Lamm Klub, the CSD or the Modular Festival here in Augsburg. Or simply at the dam in Kühtai.
STEPHANIE
I'm Stephanie, a DJ and producer from Hungary. I started my DJ career in 2017. My sets are considered mainstream, bass house and tech house. For 3 years now I have been performing regularly in the surrounding countries on major events, such Austria, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia. Since last year 3 of my tracks have been released and has already more than 1 million streams on spotify. I love to be connected with the audience, playing music for them, dancing together. I would like share my music with even more people.
TOXIC JOY
Toxic Joy stands for groovy Tech House and UK Garage with a touch of filth, deep basslines and his own vocals! Growing up in a musical family of touring artists, he’s destined to follow the footsteps of his parents and grandparents. His sets build up in energy and bring out the hype! You should vote for me if you love high energy music, Groovy beats, and if you love to dance.
XENEA
Xenea forms one of the most promising roles in the Austrian EDM scene. A huge portfolio of self-made IDs, remixes and mashups, combined with his unique multi-deck mixing style, foster the uniqueness of the 21 year old live performer. His sets are well known for his unparalleled energy on stage and 100% self-made live shows. The cutting edge branding, is simple - yet effective. All in all, Xenea brings a new level of performing to the table.
