The sickest three day festival to ever hit the coasts of Dubai is back for another round, with global headliners, Benny Benassi, QUINTINO, Dante Klein, and YVES V, all at your doorstep.
Benny Benassi
Milan born Italian DJ/producer stalwart Benny Benassi is widely regarded as one of the most charming, down to earth, and internationally respected artists in the music industry.
With over a decade to his illustrious career already, the chart-topping megastar has wholly managed to capture the hearts of multiple generations of EDM fans across the world with his flawless trademark tech/electro/house infused sounds and charismatic performance flair.
Benny was propelled into his star-spangled career by his international hit single ‘Satisfaction’ which was unleashed on the world back on 2002.
Since then he has headlined performances at countless festivals around the globe (Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Movement, UV Nation, Labour of Love, and more); a string of high-profile remixes and collaborations with the likes of Madonna, Kelis and David Bowie; and the most notable being ‘Beautiful People’ with Chris Brown, as well as a brand new radio show on Sirius XM’s Electric Area.
Most noteworthy of all, was the Grammy award he has picked up for his exceptional rework of Public Enemy and the Grammy Skrillex was awarded for his remix of Benny’s masterpiece ‘Cinema’ feat Gary Go.
If we’ve come to learn one thing about Benny Benassi it’s to expect the unexpected.
Quintino
At a young age, Quintino was discovered by house music mastermind Laidback Luke who was impressed by Quintino’s precision and unrivaled ability behind the turntables.
Quintino will always bring good vibes and a lot of energy with his sets. After conquering the Dutch club scene, the young DJ started making big steps.
In 2011, Quintino released ‘Epic’ with Sandro Silva which turned platinum.
This was the start his successful international DJ career. Since then, Quintino’s club bangers have been played all over the world.
In the past two years, Quintino released major hits like ‘Freak’ and ‘I Just Can’t’ together with fellow Dutchman R3hab, which both passed 40 million streams, followed up by great collaborations with Cheat Codes and Nervo.
Dante Klein
With his initial release on Spinnin Records in 2015 “Ertesuppe”, the young DJ/Producer phenom, Dante Klein burst onto the scene.
The track was quickly featured in Pete Tong’s radio show along with those of Avicii, Watermat and The Magician.
Collaborations followed with Sam Feldt, along with remixes for Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike and Kim Churchill.
Dante always had an interest in everything musical. At the early age of 10 he got hold of DJ equipment and and his life’s passion was discovered.
Dante soon followed suit with producer software, and then went on to finetune his skills at the renowned Herman Brood Music Academy in the Netherlands, from which he has since graduated.
Shortly after his highlight performance at Tomorrowland 2015, he was asked to remix “Higher Place”, the groovy number one Billboard dance track by Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike & Ne-Yo.
This was quickly followed by a brooding collaboration with Sam Feldt and Belgian singer Milow, “Feels Like Home”, which became the focus track of Feldt’s EP.
All this has led to the biggest release to date - “Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)” had been secretly gaining global traction on Spotify as an ID track, with more than two million streams before its official “reveal” on 29 June 2016.
