It’s tricky to define Enzo is Burning, the minimal tech-house musician whose artistry is anything but the genre’s status quo. They’ve DJ sets under their belt for seminal brands such as Defected, Elrow, Kaluki and ABODE and iconic festivals Boardmasters and Hideout, plus a sold-out Night Tales headline set. Add his cutting-edge, addictive productions affirming a close connection with his fanbase – all in just a year of the musical project since its rebranding – and you can confirm that Enzo is Burning is not your run of the mill producer and DJ.
Initially known for his remixes - the cult-favourite edit of Aaliyah’s ‘Give It Up’ particularly comes to mind - which elevated the musician from a bedroom artist to firmly on the club circuit, we are now experiencing a shift whereby Enzo is Burning’s dedicated community can indulge in his own original work. Such tracks are already being played in fabric, Amnesia Ibiza and Space Miami to name a few with fans already including Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, FISHER, Peggy Gou and Sosa.
Looking forward, there’s a debut US and Australia tour locked in, DJ sets across The Warehouse Project and Drumsheds to name just a few, plus a mysterious new concept in the works. Whilst more intel on that is yet to be revealed, Enzo is Burning promises its embracing of his sentiment of reinforcing a message alongside music, aligning with charity work close to his heart.
There is a delicate, nuanced beauty in the presentation of music, whether through productions or DJ sets. It is within this space where Enzo is Burning thrives, articulating his deep-rooted love for the art form of music – precisely, that is, on his own authentic terms.
Flaurese the London-based DJ and producer known for his diverse and fresh approach to dance music. With a blend of influences and a passion for breaking away from conventional norms, he aims to add something unique to the club scene.
His musical journey started with discovering various genres through Rinse FM, his brother's music collection, and video games like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Studying music tech and DJing at university exposed him to postdubstep artists (TEED, SBTRKT, Dirty Projectors) and sparked his interest in genre fusion and sound creation. Flaurese has gone on to receive recognition from key supporters for his guest mixes and notable features from publications such as Notion, Hunger Magazine, DJ Mag and many more. He released his debut EP on Boston Buns 'Circa 99' imprint which gained recognition from the likes of Pete Tong among other selectors in the industry. Flaurese followed this first release with his single ‘Silk Robe', on Monki's label '&Friends', where she highlighted him as her 'one to watch' for the future.
The latest project, EP 'Over My Shoulder,' showcases his versatility and storytelling ability. Incorporating vocals and drawing inspiration from catchy melodies, disco, and soul records, he aims to create tracks that stick in listeners' minds and move the dancefloor. He believes that music should evoke a personal response, whether it's relaxation or contemplation. Besides music production, Flaurese also explores visual representation and co-created an award-winning music video. His ultimate goal is to create a long-term artistic narrative and bring back the uninhibited spirit of the '90s rave era, making people dance and express themselves freely.
Flaurese's mission is to make everyone move with his unique sound and energising performances.
One of the most requested producers to emerge onto the scene within the last 12 months and UKF's ones to watch in 2022, Ghoulish is causing a ruckus within the UK club scene with his pristine productions and awe-inspiring sets.
Ghoulish stormed onto the UK music scene in 2021 with his intricate, unique and powerful dancefloor shaking productions. In less than a year of releasing new music, Ghoulish received widespread support from industry titans such as Skream, Seth Troxler, My Nu Leng, Dusky, Holy Goof, Jackmaster, Sammy Virji, Notion, Jaguar, Shosh, I. Jordan and DJ Q just to name a few within the long list of unbelievable talent.
His impressive production style caught the eyes of many in which he blurs the lines between genres, Ghoulish coins his own style as genreless as the young producer and DJ loves all spans of music, from euphoric dance all the way to the depths of dubstep. This outset allows Ghoulish to craft music and DJ sets that are an enigma to say the least, the young producer loves to show his creative prowess with his unique selection of sounds and track selections at any given time.
Further to his quick rise, the youngstar was asked to do official remixes for Skream, Jackmaster, Hamdi and Logan with many exciting tracks on the way with his track On Sight peaking at the Number 4th position in the Beatport bass music chart.
Route 94, real name Rowan Jones, represents the very best of British, London’s beat flows through his veins. The city’s rich musical history informs all of his work, giving him his unique fingerprint. Cultivating his sound for years, Rowan first got to grips with music production when he was 13 years of age. In the 13 years that have passed since, the Londoner has performed all over the world from Mexico to Miami, Amsterdam to Dubai, Sydney, Ibiza to name but a few.
Route 94’s sound is distinct, and evident in his diverse range of productions, moving from deep, emotive cuts to more dance floor-orientated material with ease. A whirlwind few years early on in his career has seen him go from hitting the No.1 spot in numerous countries around the world’s charts with “My Love”, to performing at the most-respected clubs on the planet, but he’s unaffected by the attention, keeping his head down in the studio and injecting his energy into a series of projects that allow him to maintain his creative flow with panache.
Naturally-gifted, musically astute and a total studio hound, Route 94 has already assured himself a place in the history books, where he goes from here is all in his own hands.
As one of the UK’s best-loved selectors, Skream has enjoyed the kind of consistency most DJs and producers can only dream of. His passion for collecting and playing music is unrelenting; disco, house, techno and everything in between - it runs deep into his core and he lives it every single day. Still only in his early thirties, Skream has achieved more in the last 16 years than most people do in a lifetime, yet his hunger and enthusiasm is akin to that of a man who is only just getting started.
Over the last few years, Skream has been showcasing the depth of his musical knowledge at his ‘Open To Close’ parties, playing all night long at venues around the world; every step of the way he played at sold-out clubs that were packed out with people who were there just for him. Skream’s name is now so synonymous with delivering quality in any genre he chooses that ravers will happily pay for a ticket to see him play all night simply because they trust his ability to entertain them for eight hours or more. For Skream, this is a dream come true, the epitome of success.
To achieve that kind of trust from the dancefloor is rare and to maintain it is even more extraordinary, but Skream is no ordinary artist and his commitment to music, and his fans, is unparalleled. “There was never any other option,” he says, and that is why he will continue to be one of the UK’s most treasured electronic music artists keeping the legacy of UK rave culture alive until the very end.
The rise of online radio stations with their unrestricted musical policies has been a perfect blessing for Tia Cousins. She is a collector with a passion for in-between sounds, for experimental genres and niches both old and new. Frankly, she has a collection that belies her young years, but one that has won her plenty of recognition in underground circles, from NTS to Balamii, the Tate Gallery to Brilliant Corners.
Tia's extensive knowledge reaches well into jazz, synth-pop and post-punk. But she can just as easily join the dots between EBM and cold wave on the radio as she can lay down heavier techno, breaks and chugs in the club. So far her dizzyingly eclectic but well-sequenced selections have turned heads on radio stations across the country, most recently landing her on Bristol's Noods Radio for a new monthly residency.
The past year has seen her join Overmono on their UK & Ireland tour as the sole support, debut at festivals like Field Maneuvers and Love international, make appearances at prolific clubs such as fabric, Corsica Studios and The Beams alongside acts like Optimo (Espacio), Vladimir Ivkovic, Ruf Dug and Helena Hauff.
