After a successful first night last weekend, the STORM Electronic Music Festival is back today with a full slate of DJs. That's Online previews some of the can't-miss acts for tonight.
Axwell
As a 13-year old, Axel Christofer Hedfors swapped his drums for a computer. It was a wise move. He's been on the top of dance charts since his 2004 hit 'Feel the Vibe' and was one-third of the EDM super group Swedish House Mafia that helped push progressive house into the mainstream. Since the collective's massive farewell tour, Axwell has released two Beatport chart-topping singles, ‘Center of the Universe (Remode)’ and ‘I Am’ with Sick Individuals featuring Taylr Renee. He will be headlining the Messier stage from 9.30pm to 10.45pm.
Zedd
Russian-born and German-raised Anton Zaslavski is a classically trained musician that started producing dance music after listening to Justice’s †. In less than five years, he’s performed with Skrillex at South by Southwest, remixed The Black Eyed Peas and produced three songs on Lady Gaga’s new ARTPOP album. He will be spinning on the Messier Stage from 6.05pm to 7.20pm.
Headhunterz
A former choir singer, Willem Rebergen has become the face of hardstyle – a Dutch concoction of hard techno, hard house, hardtrance and hardcore. He’s a staple at major EDM festivals and was the first hardstyle DJ to make DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ in 2010 and placed 11th in last year’s list. He will be spinning on the Messier Stage from 4.30pm to 5.45pm.
Compuphonic
The Internet has been kind to this Belgium producer. His 2006 song “Jupiter” was one of Beatport’s most downloaded tracks and new single “Sunset” has over two million YouTube views. His highly anticipated debut comes out this year and he will be playing the Markarian Stage from 4.30pm to 5.45pm.
DJ Fresh
As part of the drum & bass supergroup Bad Company, DJ Fresh co-wrote “The Nine”, a track voted as the greatest d&B track of all time by the readers of Knowledge Magazine. His 2006 debut album Escape from Planet Monday reached No. 24 on the UK charts while his single “Louder” was the first dubstep single to top the charts. He will be playing the Messier Stage from 3.15pm to 4.30pm.
