Amy Wiles

The rising star from Essex, England grew up in a family that already loves the genre of electronic music. As a result of that love, the artist kickstarted her career at the age of 16 and got to learn from one of the world’s best trance labels, Anjunabeats. She was a resident DJ for the label in 2018 and since then, her career has skyrocketed to great heights, especially after featuring alongside the likes of Above & Beyond, Oliver Smith, Grum, Gabriel & Dresden, Seven Lions, and more at events such as Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and The Warehouse Project.

Following up on the success of her latest EP, Here I Am, Amy Wiles just released her latest single on February 28 titled, ‘Heard It All Before’, released via Anjunabeats. The track featured Leena Punks and flowanastasia and is a hypnotic track that laid the foundation of the track on emotional chords and melodies. The release of the track also follows up on her recently starting her latest residency at London’s well-renowned E1 and she is also undergoing her tour across Europe and the U.S., including at Dreamstate SF itself.

Cristoph

The British DJ and producer, born as Cristopher Costigan, has earned numerous accolades for the past several years after dopping plenty of nice bangers. The bangers that Cristoph has dropped featured on prominent imprints such as Pryda Presents, Bedrock, Defected, Last Night On Earth, Truesoul, Knee Deep In Sound, Yoshi Toshi, and Selador. From featuring in some of Ibiza’s must-visit residencies to headlining the world’s top music festivals, Cristoph continues to showcase his talents as one of the best progressive house producers worldwide.

On this past weekend, Cristoph released his latest track, ‘String Thing’, which will feature on his upcoming album that is set to come out this year. Furthermore, this vibrant track from Cristoph is his first release of 2025 and it came out on his very own label, Consequence of Society Recordings. Many people who plan to attend Dreamstate SF 2025 will for sure enjoy the electrifying emotions that Cristoph plans to bring out at his set.

Nifra

The Slovakian DJ and producer, born as Nikoleta Frajkorova, grew up already being in love with the electronic music genre. When she approached her teen years, Nifra continued to enhance her craft and her dedication to producing innovative tracks caught the eye of Markus Schulz and in 2014, she joined Schulz Music Group, which then lead her to gain prominence in North America (and later the rest of the world).

Since then, she has graced numerous headlining techno and trance stages at international events like ASOT and Beyond Wonderland. A couple weeks ago, Nifra released her latest up-beat jam, ‘Access Code’, via Revealed Recordings of Hardwell. The track wonderfully connects big-room beats with hard techno soundscapes that aim to unleash the dynamic vibes that will amplify the surroundings of the dance floor. The track will also be an absolute top musical piece that will lit up the whole atmosphere of the Cow Palace.

Ben Hemsley

The rising star from Newcastle upon Tyne is magnifiying his presence as a recognizable name in the U.K. trance and techno industry right now. He started off his career conducting phenomenal sets at under-18 events in his local hometown to headlining residencies in Ibiza and Creamfields. Ben Hemsley also increased his fame after producing a fantastic 2-Hour Essential Mix on Pete Tong‘s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix show back in October 2022.

In 2023, Ben Hemsley won in the ‘Best of British Best Producer’ category of the DJ Mag ‘Best Of’ Awards. For a producer who has featured on the likes of Repopulate Mars, Ministry of Sound, and bebé, Helmsley officialy joined the BBC Radio 1 Residency series back in April of last year and he hosted his first show on the series on June 6th, his birthday, and dedicated his show to Ibiza. The weekend of April 4-5 at the Cow Palace will definitely allow everyone to see why he is going to be one of the best British names in electronic music for many years to come.

Maddix

Born as Pablo Ridnt, the Dutch DJ and producer is winning over many fans worldwide with his innovative style of music that seamlessly bridges the pulse-pounding sounds of techno and trance alongside the energetic rhythms of big room and hardstyle. Maddix is becoming a world-class icon in electronic music after putting on masterclass sets at festivals such as Ultra, EDC, Parookavaille, World Club Dome, and Mysteryland. Maddix has also solidified amazing partnerships with some of the great names in the industry like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Umek, KSHMR, and Timmy Trumpet.

In fact, at the most recent ASOT 2025, Maddix conducted an unforgettable F2F (feature-2-feature) set alongside Armin himself that got the world of music talking. Following up on the grand success of that F2F set, Maddix released ‘Hellfire’ with Gabry Ponte on his Extatic Records imprint and the release is an addicting techno track with a four-to-the-floor style that brings an oustanding melodic power that aims to reverbrate throughout the entire dance floor. Dreamstate SF 2025 is going to be the perfect spot for Maddix to show fans there that he is continuing to bring out the firepower that he had brought out at the historic F2F set.
