A graduate in graphic arts, and a Spaniard born in Paris, Romain Garcia has always drawn on his many influences, whether cultural or artistic. A DJ since he was 15 and a fan of techno, particularly melodic, during confinement he sent a demo to Ben Böhmer, who immediately fell in love with his soaring style, imbued with exotic sounds, distorted voice samples, layered on danceable anthems , hypnotic. This artistic love at first sight gave rise to a collaboration and thus was born “Cappadocia”, the first track by Romain Garcia released on Cercle in 2020. This was followed by the release of a single, “White Flag”, on the German label Ton Topferei. Recently spotted by the management of NTO, with whom Romain shares many stages, he signed with the prestigious English label Anjunadeep.

A next generation electronic artist and DJ/producer blending new-school RnB vocals with bumping house and 4x4 UKG flavours, Omar+ is intent on carving out a lane all of his own making. Growing up just north of London and influenced as much by classic RnB stars like Brandy and SWV as he is by the art and world-building of Tim Burton, as well as more contemporary influences like PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake, Omar also dials into his Punjabi and Gujarati heritage for inspiration. With early co-signs via everyone from Lancey Foux to Josh Baker and plenty of new music on the horizon in 2025, too, it feels like just the start for Omar+ — a hyper-talented, ambitious and conscientious artist to watch

Devault makes his Spybar debut after his blistering release "Feels Like Us" on Experts Only.

Devault is an artist in the true sense of the word. Rather than latching on to a genre (or indeed, medium), he is in a constant state of becoming. Obsessions with Depeche Mode and A$AP Rocky inform his dance productions but he also emphasises the importance of the visual aspects of his art. “I’m able to showcase various arts to my audience beyond sound that can convey my thoughts and past emotions. The world I’m creating is vast but specific. Dark emotion and vibrant energy in perfect sequence, and as time presses forward, it will only become more narrow and focused.”

There is a line where the dark fuses with the light, the surreal with the sublime, the graceful with the powerful; it is within this line that Tara Brooks has carved out her truly distinct sounds. Whether playing an intimate club, an underground warehouse, festival or a sunrise deep in the Burning Man Playa, Tara's music envelopes the crowd, stirring them with deep grooves, hypnotic & trippy rhythms, acidy, soulful, techno & haunting melodies.

When not touring, you can find her locked in the studio. Rather then focusing on genre or style, Tara is sonically inspired by personal experience and connection with her environment. Always striving to translate a specific feeling or moment, Tara creates a sound that is all her own: Compelling, sophisticated, haunting and healing, piercing your heart and invigorating your soul.

Disguised as a trash collector, eighteen-year-old KinAhau ran up behind Michael Bibi with a letter and a USB — music that within days echoed across every major festival and led to their collaboration on “Different Side.”

The sudden momentum around “Different Side” pushed him into view, leading to early shows at DC-10, Fabric London, Space Miami, and Mayan Warrior in Istanbul and Mexico. On those stages, he shared lineups with figures like Luciano, Damian Lazarus, and Dennis Cruz, artists who had long defined corners of the underground he was only just stepping into.

His work has grown away from the novelty of profane club culture into something more honest, introspective, and confessional. It doesn’t settle neatly into genre or function — instead, it blurs into a mirror for the world around it.

KinAhau’s music isn’t so much a sound as it is a reflection of youth coming of age in the same online spheres.
