Luke Dean has emerged as one to watch on the UK underground scene, infusing the spirit of 90s Chicago house with classy, contemporary flair. With hooking, bouncy basslines, and irresistibly catchy vocals, Luke’s sound channels the energy and groove of classic house while propelling it into the modern dancefloor. Inspired by luminaries of the genre, he found resonance in the works of pioneers like Derrick Carter, Cajmere, and Marshall Jefferson. Drawing from these influences, he crafted a sonic identity that pays homage to the golden era of house music while carving out his distinctive niche.

Having honed his craft in the studio and behind the decks, Luke has made his mark with numerous releases on esteemed labels such as Polydor, neXup, Belief, South, and MicroHertz. His tracks, characterised by their chunky grooves and engrossing musicality, have garnered acclaim from critics and fellow artists.

In an industry often dominated by carefully curated social media personas and gimmicks for the sake of virality, the producer and DJ known as Brunello is a refreshing anomaly. He isn’t chasing fame, and he isn’t trying to fit into the aesthetic of the underground or the high-gloss polish of the mainstream. Instead, he is building a world – a Mellow Circus – rooted in a decade of experimentation and a restless, nearly monastic dedication to his craft.

While Brunello pulls from a global palette of influences now, the foundation of his sound was built upon the energy of American dance music culture. “House music is my love,” he admits, “but I grew up loving all genres of electronic music, and some of the most formative experiences actually came from American bass music. Not because of the actual ‘sound’, necessarily, but the mere fact that this music exists and so many people love it. That’s what gets me excited.”

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 2026, too, it feels like just the start for Omar+ — a hyper-talented, ambitious and conscientious artist to watch.

In 2011, Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene as Dam Swindle. Since then they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, as well as in their studio. House might be the root of the Dam Swindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music.

CRi, aka Christophe Dubé, is a significant player in the Montreal electronic scene with his distinctive sonic palette characterized by pulsating house synths, intricate syncopated snares, and forward-thinking basslines. CRi gained recognition with his EPs 'Tell Her' and 'Someone Else' on Young Art, TOKiMONSTA's label. His breakthrough came in 2018 with a Juno nomination and the release of the mini EP 'Me and My Friends.' Debuting on Anjunadeep in 2019, his debut album, 'Juvenile' (2021), he became the first electronic music act to win breakthrough artist at L'ADISQ and to headline the mainstage of the prestigious Montreal International Jazz Festival. In 2023, CRi released his second full-length album, 'Miracles'. Notably, he collaborated with artists like Charlotte Cardin, Bob Moses, Half Moon Run and Daniel Belanger.

A true celebration of connection and friendship, AMi brings together CRi and his guests for a collective performance where music becomes a universal language. The concept is simple: typically a 1-hour opening set, a 2-hour CRi DJ set, and the potential for a special B2B or guest appearance when the moment and city make sense. While not every stop will feature an AMi collaborator , the tour creates space for unique encounters.
