About: I-F

Den Haag's Ferenc van der Sluijs - better known as I-F - has shaped electro and Italo disco from the underground up, with his 1997 single "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass" still cited as the record that lit the fuse on electroclash. Behind the Viewlexx label and Intergalactic FM radio, he remains one of the most distinctive selectors in European club culture.

About: Nightmares on Wax

George Evelyn's Nightmares on Wax project has spent over three decades shaping the downtempo and trip-hop sound on Warp Records, blending dub, soul and hip-hop into sets that work equally well on a festival stage or in a late-night club. His 2025 mixtape Echo45 Sound System and a sold-out Royal Albert Hall show in March 2026 confirmed he remains one of the UK's most vital electronic acts.
