L.ZWO
Berlin trance DJ with a 2026 single and ADE club slots. His documented material points to trance and harder club pressure, not soft-focus melodics. Every release we can confirm is from 2024 or later, and we found no label. Plays 3 times this week, so you have more than one chance.
For fans of Marlon Hoffstadt, Ki/Ki, Hannah Laing
RIØ
Munich DJ pushing progressive house and trance-leaning grooves. Driving house with rolling basslines, tight percussion, and trance-shaped synth lines. Every release we can confirm is from 2025 or later, and we found no label. Plays 2 times this week, so you have more than one chance.
For fans of Klaudia Gawlas
Panteros666
French eurotrance and hard house selector. Fast, glossy, and hooked on big Euro melodies, with hard-house bounce and trance lift. Every release we can confirm is from 2026 or later, and we found no label. Plays 2 times this week, so you have more than one chance.
Sylvie Miles
Hamburg techno DJ who sings on her own productions. Her tracks sit between chunky house drive and vocal techno, with pop-shaped hooks and trance lift. Every release we can confirm is from 2024 or later, and we found no label. Plays 2 times this week, so you have more than one chance.
For fans of Tiga
Enigma State
UK trance producer behind modern vocal and acid-leaning cuts. Bright, melodic trance with big breakdowns, clean lead lines, and a hard-driving kick. Every release we can confirm is from 2023 or later, and we found no label. Plays 2 times this week, so you have more than one chance.
For fans of Armin van Buuren
Bryan Kearney
Tech-trance DJ and Kearnage founder. Kearney’s sets are driving trance built on hard kick drums, big melodic lifts, and the sharper tech-trance edge that sits just above pure uplift. Every release we can confirm is from 2026 or later, and we found no label.
Aaron Hibell
Cinematic trance and techno with orchestral sweep. His sets sit in the lane between trance and techno, with big synth lifts, hard kick pressure, and orchestral framing around the drops. Every release we can confirm is from 2024 or later, and we found no label.
BOY&GIRL
Belgian trance-electro DJ duo. BOY&GIRL’s own uploads tag the project in trance and electro, and the ADE programme places them in a night promising trance, techno and a hint of electro. Every release we can confirm is from 2026 or later, and we found no label.
