Alphones
Goal for 2025:
In 2025, I’m focused on continuing to refine my sound and push the boundaries of house and tech house music. I want to keep experimenting and find new ways to connect with my audience. I also plan to collaborate with more artists in different genres and work towards releasing some really exciting new tracks.
Message to Fans for the New Year:
Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year. Your energy and feedback keep me going. I’m looking forward to sharing more music with you in 2025, and I promise to keep working hard to bring you the best of what I’ve got. Here’s to another great year together!
Musical Prediction for 2025:
I believe 2025 will see a continued evolution of house and tech house, with more focus on blending traditional sounds with new, experimental elements. I think there will also be a growing interest in live instruments being incorporated into electronic music, which will bring a fresh vibe to the scene.

Goal for 2025: Touring!
Message to fans for the new year: You make everything possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Musical prediction for 2025: I’m very focused on the Akai MPC Key 37 as an upgrade to my live rig. I’m dying to play that thing!!! I’m also very invested in the Progressive House genre and I’m always digging around, finding artists who are putting so much expression into their tracks. It’s absolutely mindblowing.

Hotboxx
Goal for 2025:
Keep Building on the momentum, play more international shows and release a ton of music!
Message to fans for the new year:
All I can say is get ready for some of the best music I’ve ever put out with some huge collabs, the release schedule will be jam packed this year, so I look forward to bringing that to my fans as well as unique show experiences not only through my sets which I can promise will be special this year, but also through the curation of my party “Vice City” in collaboration with some amazing venues like Night we Met Nashville and with amazing talent.
Musical prediction for 2025:
Honestly, I see a shift to some of the more groovy Disco sounds, Tech House will still be big but I can see soulful House and some of the groovy Minimal stuff really making a big leap this year and becoming a sound that many people will begin to identify with and love.

Jacob Colon
Goal for 2025: Expand my music catalog and explore new sounds not commonly heard with Dance music.
Message to fans for the new year:
I’ve been spending more time crafting my sound this year and I’m happy to say I’ve learned a lot. Next year I’ll be putting out a new sonic tone that I hope will resonant with my fans.
Musical prediction for 2025: (what trends, sounds or genres you think will be on the spotlight next year)
For me, I’m looking to set my own trend. There aren’t a lot of artists blended and merging sounds the way I do, with credit due to my knowledge as a piano player. There’s a lot copy and paste but when you’re able to craft something new it becomes the trend setter. I create vibes which I enjoy myself, like Hip Hop, Latin music, Trap and others. 2025 will be a big year.

Lady Decibel
Goal for 2025: Play our first festival as Lady Decibel
Message to fans for the new year: Happy New Year ahead! We can’t believe it’s already 2025—our second year as Lady Decibel, and we’re just getting started. Last year was an incredible journey of finding our sound, connecting with our earliest fans, and discovering what makes us us. Now, we’re ready to dive even deeper.
We’ve officially locked in our style and sound, and it feels so right. This year, we’re all about pushing Rave culture forward—celebrating the music, the energy, and the community that makes it so special.
You can expect a ton of new music coming your way, from original tracks to remixes we can’t wait for you to hear. We’ll also be super active on social media this upcoming year, sharing behind-the-scenes moments, exciting updates, and performances that bring the rave straight to you.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your love and energy mean everything, and we can’t wait to see where 2025 takes us—together. Let’s make this year unforgettable.
Musical prediction for 2025: We believe Techno, particularly Hard Techno, will continue to gain momentum. Another high-BPM genre poised for a full resurgence is Drum & Bass. The younger generation craves high-energy, fast-paced music, and we anticipate genres with tempos of 140 BPM and above will see significant growth. These styles are emerging from the underground and becoming increasingly mainstream.
What excites us the most, however, is the potential for a broader spotlight on new artists exploring the “Euro” style sound. Marlon Hoffstadt, aka DJ Daddy Trance, has been leading the way, inspiring a wave of fresh talent over the past few years. The amount of incredible music being released in this style is astonishing. So many new labels, especially those based in Germany are championing this sound, and we’re thrilled about the opportunity to introduce it to audiences in the U.S.!

Nonduality
Goal for 2025:
I’ve wanted to put out a vinyl record for a long time. I’ve also been thinking about starting a record label. In 2025, I’d like to get everything in place to finally put out some music on wax.
Message to fans for the new year:
Stay healthy, drink water, and get plenty of sleep!
Musical prediction for 2025: I’ve been obsessed with 90’s/00’s Garage House recently, and people seem to be getting down to it at my sets. I could see that becoming more popular.

Synthesis
Goal for 2025:
To keep on recording some worthwhile music and to see what opportunities open up for me moving forward.
Message to fans for the new year:
When something is important enough, still do it, even if the odds are not in your favour.
Musical prediction for 2025: The use of AI in music will explode in 2025. I have actually used it on one track already. Anyone for a mid-80s New Romantic revival in 2025? All that Human League and Gary Numan stuff still sounds great even today.
