Above & Beyond

Armin Van Buuren

This is a man driven by an unbridled and relentless passion for music. Armin van Buuren is a born perfectionist, striving to stay on top of the scene he’s helped build. As the flag-bearer of the trance movement, he’s one of the most influential figures in EDM worldwide. Even though he lives an extraordinary life as one of the world’s most popular DJs, he has always remained a down-to-earth guy. Armin van Buuren is constantly on the move, whether creating music in his studio or en route to his next high-end club or festival show around the globe.

Armin: “It’s not just love for music, it’s my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby. It’s about a way of living. Music is essential to my life.”

For more than twenty years, the Grammy-nominated Dutchman has been living to the rhythm of his own international success. His five-time number one position in the critically acclaimed DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll has been the result of his loyalty to fans, his creativity in the studio, the perseverance with which he hosts his weekly radio show ‘A State of Trance’, and the energy he brings to the crowds in front of him. Despite the heavy pressure that comes with being one of the world’s most popular DJs, Armin has always kept his focus on the music. And that’s exactly what keeps him going.

Fisher

Australian tech-house producer Paul Fisher (aka Fisher) brings a sense of carefree fun to his productions, which strip away pretenses to focus on serving the dancefloor. He came to the public's attention in 2018 with his brassy single "Losing It," which was certified platinum in his home country and was nominated for a Grammy. The follow-up "You Little Beauty" was also a success, and Fisher continued releasing upbeat club material such as 2021's "Just Feels Tight," 2022's "It's a Killa," and 2023's "Take It Off." Fisher was born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, where he pursued a career as a professional surfer for many years. The lifestyle came with its fair share of parties, incentivizing Fisher to take up DJing in 2005, although it wouldn't be until 2011 that he turned his hand to production. His initial tracks were released as part of Cut Snake alongside fellow producer and surfer Leigh Sedley. Fisher eventually went solo in 2017, going on to issue a string of singles such as "Ya Kidding," "Stop It," and "Ya Didn't," all on Dirtybird. In 2018, he released his breakout track, "Losing It," this time via Catch & Release. The song went to number one on the Australian and American club charts, and was certified gold or platinum in Australia, Italy, Germany, and the U.K. It was also nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. Fisher followed the success of "Losing It" with the Loleatta Holloway-sampling "You Little Beauty," which similarly topped club charts and was nominated for an ARIA Music Award. The double A-side "Freaks"/"Wanna Go Dancin'" appeared in 2020, followed by "Just Feels Tight" in 2021. Fisher teamed up with Shermanology in 2022 on the floor-filling single "It's a Killa" and landed a pair of club hits in 2023 with "Atmosphere" featuring Kita Alexander and "Take It Off" featuring Aatig. ~ Liam Martin & Paul Simpson, Rovi

Lost Frequencies

Lost Frequencies, the Belgian DJ and producer, also known as Félix De Laet, has soared to success in the international music industry over the past decade. A decade on from his global smash ‘Are You With Me’, which saw him flip an Easton Corbin, Country-style classic into a pop-meets-dance dose of originality, firmly cementing his name on the global stage. The super producer boasts over 32 million monthly Spotify listeners and also achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing one billion streams on Spotify, marking the second time in his career alongside ‘Where Are You Now’ – a remarkable double achievement that marks him as the first Belgian musician to do so and landing him the debut cover of Forbes Magazine Belux.

As well as consistently climbing charts across Europe and the Billboard Top 100 in the United States, ‘Are You With Me’ would secure the #1 spot in 18 countries and see Lost Frequencies become the first Belgian artist to hit #1 in the United Kingdom. Where Lost Frequencies earned his first Brit Award nomination for his ‘Best International Song’ for the global hit with Calum Scott ‘Where Are You Now’, as well as scoring #1 on the Top UK 40 and Ireland Top 50 singles charts after becoming the most-played song in the UK, the single would also achieve Platinum status across 14 territories worldwide.

‘Where Are You Now’ also secured a Top 30 US chart position and, to date, has received billions of streams. An unmistakably classic in Lost Frequencies catalogue is his global hit ‘Are You With Me’, which earned him Echo Awards for ‘Dance International’ and ‘Hit Of The Year’, beating the likes of Adele. He has also received numerous MTV EMA and IDMA (International Dance Music Awards) awards, including ‘Best Belgian Act’, also having been awarded an MIA Award for ‘Best Dance’, for the fifth time in his career recently, as he also places regularly in the upper echelons of the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll currently standing at #20.

Throughout his illustrious career, Lost Frequencies has collaborated with artists such as Justin Bieber, Ellie Goulding, Bastille and more recently he collaborated with British artist Tom Odell for his take on ‘Black Friday (pretty like the sun)’, recreating the original with his signature sound that has almost 250 million streams to date, as well as fusing jump- up breaks and racing rhythms on his Bomfunk MC’s collaboration of the classic ‘Freestyler (Rock The Microphone)’.

The ‘Alive & Feeling Fine’ album preceded the announcement of his first full-live tour, Lost Frequencies Live, which saw Lost Frequencies joined by a band of live musicians and vocalists, bringing his whole body of music to life in a live environment. Continuing to the tail-end of 2022, Lost Frequencies Live toured extensively to sold-out dates throughout North America and Europe with 20 shows over three months, accumulating in a dazzling show at Brussels Forest National Stadium. Lost Frequencies’ third artist album, ‘All Stand Together’, hosted collaborators old and new across 11 sensational tracks. From the international hit #1 ‘Where Are You Now’ with Calum Scott to recent solo release ‘The Feeling’ and a title track that set the scene alight, Lost Frequencies put a pin into the musical map of where the multi-platinum maestro currently stands in his career, from uplifting house and tropical sounds to influences of folk, acoustic instrumentals, and dancefloor- ready anthems.

As a touring DJ, Lost Frequencies continues to rack up countless air miles. Pre-pandemic, he was the most-booked festival artist of any genre, making 49 appearances over the summer season that year, numerically beating names including The 1975, Lizzo and FOALS. Fast-forward to today, Lost Frequencies continues to dominate festival mainstages and tents worldwide, appearing at every major event, from Coachella to Lollapalooza and EDC Orlando to Creamfields, plus an honourable set at Rock in Rio to close out the mainstage after Justin Bieber and for BBC Radio 1 in Malta this summer to a rapturous reception. His residencies also glitter amongst the scene, holding down the fort at TAO GROUP at OMNIA and MARQUEE. With a plethora of new music, plus a run of international DJ shows, the future ahead looks set to continue illuminating Lost Frequencies’ presence worldwide.

Level Up

LEVEL UP aka Sonya Broner feels most at home behind the decks. Born in Los Angeles, California she got her start in music as a battle DJ. Moving to Brooklyn, New York she studied with master turntablist Rob Swift. Traversing the boroughs as a battle DJ, Sonya was often

lugging her vinyl records to and from shows to out-scratch her competitors. Her inspirations include legends DJ Jazzy Jeff, Funkmaster Flex, and Grandmaster Flash.

After four years of turntablism, LEVEL UP decided to take her musical career a step further and pursue DJing electronic music, the genre she felt the most connection to. She was drawn to dubstep from the moment she heard Rusko, Caspa and Skream.

On the live front, she was mesmerized by Porter Robinson and his ability to evoke emotion. Soon after discovering bass music, LEVEL UP dove into music production. Continuously crafting her sound is what makes her feel the happiest and is her truest form of self expression.

While at the beginning of her journey, she has already gone on to release music on Deadbeats, GRVDNCR, and Buygore, with much more in the pipeline.

A theatre actress in her youth, her storytelling ability is evident through her music: unfathomably heavy wubs and wobbles, and tricky doubles leave the audience energized and ready for more.

She has since gone on a national tour with Subtronics, and graced the stages of Lost Lands, Electric Forest, High Caliber, and more.
