Psyko Punkz

Psyko Punkz are a force to be reckoned with. From the early days of meeting at the Matrixx Nijmegen(2004), they started talking about their production skills and about doing a track together. It took a couple of years before they started and bought their first studio together. After playing the keys together (February 2008) they felt that something magic happened, PSYKO PUNKZ were born. In the new generation of hardstyle, Psyko Punkz are ready to make the world Psyko.

Tiësto

Tijs Michiel Verwest (born January 17, 1969 in Breda, The Netherlands) is better known by his stage name Tiësto. He started out DJing professionally at school parties, and then moved on to become a resident DJ from 1985 to 1993 at several clubs in The Netherlands. It was at a club called 'The Spock' where things really took off for Tiësto; he stopped producing hardcore/gabber tracks and started to produce his own sound from 10pm until 4am on weekends. In the mid 1990s, Tiësto started to produce trance and the rest, as they say, is history.

Big Freedia

If “gay rapper” is an oxymoron where you come from, how to get your head around the notion of a gay rapper performing in a sports bar? What in most cities might seem plausible only as some sort of Sacha Baron Cohen-style provocation is just another weeknight in the cultural Galapagos that is New Orleans. Sometime after midnight on the sweltering Thursday before Memorial Day, the giant plasma-screen TVs at the Sports Vue bar (which “proudly airs all major Pay Per View events from the world of Boxing and Ultimate Fighting”) were all switched off...

Ameon

Michael 'Ameon' Sena began pursuing music back in 2008. Since then, purchases of keyboards, synths, programs, cables, microphones and a whole lot else has helped him develop skills and talents in the area of creating great dance music. The origin of his name? His computer pseudonym has always been meo, and his strong Christian faith is the backbone of not only his life, but also his music. What better way to combine the two then in the equation meo + amen = ameon?

The Paper Scissors

Sydney, Australia.
2005-present The Paper Scissors have gone from party band du jour, off the back of We Don’t Walk and Yamanote Line from their 2007 debut Less Talk More Paper Scissors, to now being one of the solid forces in Australian music. The Sydney based lads built a snowball from their live shows and high rotation radio play on Triple J and community radio, as well as a leg up from high profile spots on TV ads and major network shows. They toured relentlessly, with headline spots of their own and major festivals such as Falls, Playground Weekender and Southbound.
