This time, the lineup is even stronger, featuring global artists such as the revolutionary figure of the world techno scene, "Victor Ruiz," Japan's techno treasure, "KEN ISHII," along with "Indecent Noise" and "Tao Andra"!
Victor Ruiz is a DJ/producer who has taken the world by storm with his sound rooted in Brazilian rock/trance, fusing psychedelic grooves and emotional depth into peak-time melodic techno. In addition to releases on world-renowned labels such as Drumcode, Noir Music, Suara, and mau5trap, he has also remixed legends like deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin, and MOBY. His edits of legendary tracks like The Prodigy's "Breathe," Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts," and Massive Attack's "Teardrop" have electrified dance floors worldwide, and he continues to headline at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Time Warp, and Awakenings. His own label, Volta Records, ranked 4th globally in Beatport techno label sales in its first year.
Challenging Victor Ruiz is KEN ISHII, known as the "Techno God of the East." He debuted in 1993 on Belgium's prestigious R&S Records, topping the UK NME Techno Chart. His music video for the single "Extra" won MTV DANCE VIDEO OF THE YEAR, and in 2004, he was recognized as the world's best BEST TECHNO DJ at the DJ Awards, solidifying his status as Japan's techno treasure. He continues to evolve, with appearances at Tomorrowland, producing the entire soundtrack for the Netflix anime "Yakitori," fusing techno with traditional performing art "Noh" in "TECHNOH LAB.," and performing in front of over 12,000 people at the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
Further intensifying this night is Indecent Noise from Warsaw, Poland. He has swept the world with energetic live sets that combine Rave, Acid, Techno, and Trance, releasing tracks on global labels such as Armada, Future Sound of Egypt, Outburst, Subculture, and Grotesque. He has been continuously commissioned for remixes by top artists like Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, and Solarstone, conquering world-class festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Burning Man, and A State of Trance. His own label, Mental Asylum Records, boasts over 100 releases.
And not to be forgotten is Tao Andra. Her track "Gracias a la Vida," released on Victor Ruiz's Volta Records, was played by Indira Paganotto on the Tomorrowland MainStage, sending shockwaves through dance floors worldwide. Her latest work, "Rave In Progress," also delivers a peak-time stimulating hit from Volta.
Supporting this stellar lineup is RYOHEI, whose evolution continues with his residency at WOMB's party series "NEURON," where he has performed with top domestic and international artists, the launch of his own label ONE'S MUSIC RECORDINGS, and appearances at ULTRA JAPAN RESISTANCE STAGE.
