Scenestealer: ZoukOut 2013

Afrojack
Trance and techno is always a favorite with the crowd. Times are yet to be confirmed, but if previous years were anything to go by, this headliner who ranked number 9 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list will play from 3am till the sun comes up.
Afrojack plays Dec 13.

Example
A live act this one, with the critically lauded Brit rapper-singer-songwriter performing alongside spinmeister DJ Wire. This is the kind of collaboration that’s been missing from the bigger tents so far.
Example performs Dec 13.

Alesso
The young Swede’s interpretation of summer dance anthems are almost legendary in the circuit, having worked with the likes of Armin van Buuren and Tiesto.
Alesso plays Dec 14.

Danny Avila
Another young gun to look out for, Spain’s Avila’s scorching sets are a must for those seeking the latest trance anthems.
Danny Avila plays Dec 14.

Seth Troxler
The purveyor of house and techno will drop his always infectious and trendy prog-houe tunes, inspired from his stint at the BBC Radio One.
Seth Troxler plays Dec 14.

Solomun
The Singapore debut of underground figure turned superstar producer Solomun is another reason to hit the sand. The latest name in progressive and disco-house was recently named DJ of the Year by Mixmag, and it’s his meticulously constructed dance mixes that we’re really looking forward to.
Solomun plays Dec 14.

Kölsch
A live techno DJ set in the vein of Richie Hawtin and Sven Vath. Kolsch’s debut here, off the back of a rich discography under different monikers on the Kompakt label, is a good place to start if you’re all about IDM (Intelligent Dance Music).
Kolsch plays Dec 14.
