1. GTA: Friday - 10:15 p.m.
“Death to genres” is the motto, and the Miami-bred duo proved that working theory with its debut album "Good Times Ahead." GTA got experimental with Vince Staples, sexy and slick with Tinashe, and trapped into wonky groove with Iamsu! These dudes always bring the fire live, so don't miss it.
2. Nicole Moudaber B2B Chris Liebing: Friday - 1:45 a.m.
Carl Cox named Nicole Moudaber as the most underrated DJ in the world. She's since risen to large fame in the underground house and techno worlds. Chris Liebing has been a leader in the Frankfurt techno scene for decades. Together, they will take the party deeper and darker than EDC has ever gone before.
3. Slushii: Friday - 4:25 a.m.
Equal parts rainbow sprinkles, tooth-aching bass, hyphy rhythms, and future flows, Slushii is the head trip you can't afford to miss. He's one of Marshmello's best friends, so if you feel those ooey-gooey vibes, get ready for the sugar rush of a lifetime.
4. Autograf: Saturday - 8:45 p.m.
This Chicago-based trio breathes new life and heightened energy the into the dance music festival world with fully live performances. Chill melodies create beautiful atmosphere over funky bass designed to get bums shaking.
5. Louis The Child: Saturday - 10 p.m.
This duo caught a lot of buzz as co-writers of The Chainsmokers' mega-hit “Closer,” and those who dig into the solo catalog are taken aback by the alt-pop chops. The Chicago boys have tons of energy on stage, too. Catch them on the set now before they take over the world.
6. Rüfüs Du Sol: Saturday - 11 p.m.
Drifting melodies that conjure strange, luxurious lands. That's what this Australian trio brings in droves. A Rüfüs live set is one of the closest things this Earth has to real magic. Even through the screen, you'll be absolutely spellbound.
7. Mr. Carmack: Saturday - 3:15 a.m.
Hip-hop and dance intersect beautifully in the soul of this Honolulu-based producer who marries the two sounds into something so much deeper than standard trap. He's not afraid to get weird, and his willingness to experiment leads to world-clashing mixes and mash-ups that'll leave you stunned — but never too stunned to dance.
8. Mija: Saturday - 4:30 a.m.
FKAGENRE is more than a rallying cry when this cool kid takes the decks. Representing the OWSLA crew, Mija has the respect of some of the best DJs in the business for her deft beat-juggling skills. She can work from drum'n'bass into happy hardcore, drop some future on your face, then twist into some gnarly dubstep faster than you can say, “Damn girl! Don't hurt 'em.”
9. K?D: Sunday - 8:30 p.m.
It's pronounced “kid,” but the identity is a delicious mystery. What's even tastier is the synth-laden, echo rhythms of his '80s inspired electro pop. Fans of Porter Robinson and Madeon will fall in love with the K?D, head over feet.
10. Rezz: Sunday - 10:40 p.m.
Signed to deadmau5's label mau5trap, this young gun puts a new edgy spin on dark techno. Elements of electro and industrial blend into an eery, mechanical style. It's the soundtrack of your nightmares turned into the music of your dreams.
11. Trippy Turtle: Sunday - 5:15 a.m.
Imagine you took Jersey Club and covered it in candy paint, smacked it on its ass, and told it to break something. Trippy Turtle is a mystery man taking your favorite hip-hop songs and turning them into fired-up, swirly versions of themselves. He's a rare sight, so let it soak in.
