“Weird, chugging and groovy” is how J. Worra describes her bass-loaded house. Born in Chicago and now based in LA, her live sets – which she’s played at Printworks and Coachella – swirl together elements of deep house, funk and euphoric techno. Named as DJ Mag’s breakthrough producer of 2019, J. Worra has remixed tracks by Zhu, SOFI TUKKER and SIDEPIECE, and has released music on Deadmau5’s label Mau5trap.

Deep house duo RUZE releases are full of rolling grooves, minimal beats and feel-good rhythms. The pair exploded onto the global house circuit following their 2021 Chapters EP on PIV, followed by their 2022 Hardwire EP on Pitch Records. The pair has a knack for creating music that feels equally at home deep in the dance floor or on an Ibizan terrace. RUZE has played Tomorrowland, Pacha Barcelona, Womb Tokyo, Fabric London and more, and their latest LP is a beautiful showcase of the dynamism of their production style. Now, they’re the best-selling artists in Beatport’s Minimal Deep Tech genre, and their 2024 LP was the number-one release just five days after it dropped.

LA-based artist and producer Yung Bae heralds the rise of Future Funk, stewarding the sub-genre from the underground into a cult-like phenomena. Throughout his extensive catalog, now spread across 6 albums, Yung Bae immediately grabs his listener with a sound design that spans between smooth jazz, funk, old school hip-hop, to Studio 54 disco.

More recently Yung Bae had partnered with Apple Music to launch his new radio show, Groove Continental Radio, on Apple Music Hits. The weekly show celebrates the culture of funk, disco and soul, by highlighting classic hits and lesser-known gems from over the decades—connecting them through the lens of his music, friends, and album collaborators. In a short span the radio show has hosted artists such as Jungle, Nile Rodgers, Madeon, UPSAHL, bbno$, Elderbrook, MAX and others.

Eyes Only

A truly contemporary artist, Franky Wah’s music epitomises the exhilarating power of club culture. Born and raised in Yorkshire, Franky has an intuitive understanding of emotion, dance floor energy and catchy hooks culminating in a sound that resonates with both the underground and more commercial ends of the dance music spectrum. A series of chart-topping releases have catapulted him into the public eye, where he’s picked up a dedicated fanbase, as well as backing from his peers and idols. Franky's broad palette employs influences from progressive house, breakbeat, afro-house and beyond to create a sonic identity that sits at the apex of what modern dance music is all about: diversity, unity and a progressive outlook. Franky also runs his own label, events company and clothing brand under the name “SHÈN”, which provides a liberating space for him to release new music, as well as giving his support to other artists.
