tomorrowworld today, september 27th 2015

The third day of music is a true test to see what the People of Tomorrow are really made of. The generous creators have delivered a massive lineup. Paradise will descend upon the House of Books today, bringing tech and deep house producers like Matador and Jamie Jones. Mythical Frames will make your day with artists like jackLNDN and Flux Pavilion taking you for a wild ride. Thomas Jack and his tropical house friends like Felix Jaehn and Sam Feldt will be transporting you to exotic shores over at the Icon stage before you board the Boat stage

to experience Future Classic artists like Wave Racer and Giraffage. Atlanta’s beloved venue, Terminal West, is making sure the Wind stage will blow your mind with live acts Porter Robinson, The M Machine and more. Finally, a new chapter could not be closed without a jaw-dropping roster of Main Stage legends. Martin Garrix and the trance king himself Armin van Buuren will be the icing on top of a most beautiful weekend.

You are waking up stronger, wiser and with a song in your heart. Your muscles may be heavy and sore, but your soul is still soaring. You have danced, explored and discovered, and you have tasted true happiness and wonder, but the apogee of your story has yet to be written. The Chattahoochee Hills are buzzing with a new energy in anticipation of the pinnacle of this epic expedition. Tap into the infinite collective energy of this mystical world, it’s time to take on the final day and make this chapter the most memorable yet. The sacred spirit and keeper of the Key to Happiness has high hopes for you. You’ve been blessed with the tools to push the doorway

of your dreams wide open and immerse yourself in the beauty you find. Once you leave these anointed grounds, you will be introducing the rest of the world to a new era, a higher thinking and a deeper love for music, people and Mother Nature’s grand design. But before you go, you must realize your full potential as the People of Tomorrow. Aim for connection, creation and transcendence, and you will write a story for yourself and this chapter of TomorrowWorld that will forever go down in history. The world will never be the same.

It looks like you’ve danced the rain away, but the sun will stilll be shy to show its golden face. Looks like you’ll have to bring the heat! But maybe a light sweater as well, just in case.

In the sprawling, awe-inspiring world of Tomorrow, it’s easy to lose track of where you want to go. During the weekend, this newspaper will serve as your guide to TomorrowWorld. Not only metaphorically, but also literally: As an introduction, we’ll show you around the best spots and secret hideaways, so you’ll be fully equipped to explore the grounds. We will introduce you to new hidden spots to explore.

Today will be all about discovering the unknown. After two full days of visiting the Main Stage and surrounding

festivities, it’s time to hike to places you’ve never seen before. Widen your view. It may be the last day, but there’s still so many sites to unearth in the world of Tomorrow. If you’re planning on leaving or running a quick errand on the outside, why bother walking to the entrance? There are jolly rickshaws riding from the shuttle spot, and you’ll be pedaled all the way to the gates without breaking a sweat. Ever seen a fish spit fire? Probably not. Spot the school of artfully-crafted fish swimming around in the lake near the Mythical Frames. Sit down for a sec, drink your drink, talk to the person next to you and relax by the fishies. You plan on staying at the Main Stage? At least

get a great view of the pit. All the way up top, you can seek shelter at the mushrooms and witness history in the making. When you’re here, we recommend having your camera handy and trying to capture the sunset - these shots could easily become your favorite way to remember the mystical Main Stage. For those feeling a bit grimy, freshen up at the hidden Refresh Point behind the Bud Light Magical viewing deck. Stay hydrated and wash the dirt out of your eyes, so you can dive right back into the dance floor. Let’s go! Tomorrow is here, friends, so give it your all!

Goodbye, friendNo, this is not the end

Lift up your headSomewhere we’ll meet again

THE DOORWAYS TO HAPPINESS

For Alan, Thank you for all that you’ve done.


DAWN HAS ARRIVED

Little Red Riding Poncho here is so ready for today! And unlike her Grimm counterpart, this story is bound to have a happy ending. Don’t worry about the wolf, we’ll keep an eye out for you.

Always double-check to make sure you look your best. For a sec, we thought it was a very large iPad. Turned out to be a mirror.

She suddenly popped out of her tent with the biggest smile. You go girl, keep giving off those positive vibes. Take that smile

into the festival and spread the happiness!

Oh man, Friday was a blast. What an epic day of music, and the afterparties at DreamVille were never-ending. No wonder it stayed quiet a little longer on the campsite yesterday morning. A lot of you decided to huddle up in bed for as long as possible, and right you are! You should enjoy this look back on DreamVille Saturday morning staying cozy and dry. This weekend is all about following your heart’s content. Mother Nature wasn’t exactly welcoming in these early hours, but she has finally calmed her tits. Even though the sun was a bit shy, there were enough die-hards up early yesterday morning so we could spot their tired but happy faces as we went for another stroll around the City of Dreams.

05

You think she’d realize at some point those socks don’t belong together? Ah well, it was still very early in the morning. We also have trouble putting our pants on the right limbs at dawn.

Want to watch the aftermovie in style at home? Get an official TomorrowWorld chair, put up a projector, get your crew over and

sit your pretty ass down in your new favorite chair. Get yours at the District Houses in DreamVille for $20.


06

Charlie Brown once said “Goodbyes always make my throat hurt. I need more hellos.” So come say ‘Hello’ to this guy repping Charlie B.

Hello is the first step in every friendship!The sun may have been hiding behind grey skies, but with a smile like that, who needs the sun?

Keep your spirits high, your crown of flowers pretty and all will be awesome!

He didn’t choose the scrambled egg life, the scrambled egg life chose him.


07

WEAR TOMORROW TODAYThe last day’s here. It does sound a bit sad if you think about it, but sadness has no place in the world of Tomorrow and the heart of its People. In order to make that post-TomorrowWorld depression a little easier to handle, there’s an excellent selection of beautiful merchandise still available at the official merchandise store near the Main Stage. So when you’re home gazing in the distance and the memories are flooding in, do it in your very own TomorrowWorld apparel. Dress up, blast the aftermovie in your room and dance like nobody’s watching! Head on over to the official TomorrowWorld fashion collection can be found opposite of the Main Stage.

UBER GROOVESUber is the way to go nowadays. Literally. Forget shabby cabs, why not ride in style? For a lucky few the Uber ride to TomorrowWorld took an unexpected turn. By ordering an Uber with the special code ‘UberCHOPPERTW’ on Friday, they got a ride not in a nice SUV, but in their very own helicopter. They shared it with a featured artist for a ride more exciting than the back of a car driven by Jason Statham. And even though you may not have won, you’re always a winner when you have the right tunes coming out of the car speakers! Take an Uber using the TomorrowWorld code “TOMORROWWORLD” and receive $20 off your first ride. Then you can ask your driver to play the anthems that take you back to the beautiful world of Tomorrow.

Austin and Ryan Kelly (Florida): “‘Show Me Love’ by Sam Feldt is definitely the song I’d want to hear during my ride home. It would take me back to what I’m doing right now -- dancing in the rain!”

Gustavo and Martin (Argentina): “‘Summer’ by Calvin Harris is our choice. We hope our Uber driver will dance with us!”

Margaux Bouckaert (Belgium): “‘The Hum’ by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike is the song that will come to mind when I think of TomorrowWorld. It puts me in the mood for a good time!”

WATERPROOF WIFIWhere would we be without wifi? It may be a bit much to say that modern society would collapse, but it would sure be a pain in the buttocks. All T-Mobile users are cordially invited to come up to The Pool Un-Leashed by T-Mobile, the provider’s sanctuary looking out over the Main Stage. Cleanse your dirty self in the pool, float around with a drink and realize that you’re in paradise. Bring a friend if you’ve T-Mobile service, as your +1. Maddie from Colorado: “I went straight for the Pool Un-leashed the moment I came in. I must have been there a dozen times by now. Why? Honestly, to get away from the turmoil and to get the full 5 bars on my phone.”

WIN YOUR WAYTO BRAZIL!Bud Light has something for you. Whatever it may be, take a chance at the Garden of Whatever. Placed right smack in the middle of the Marketplace at DreamVille, at the giant globe, you have a shot at a bunch of awesome prizes provided by Bud. You can win a pass to Tomorrowland Brasil next year or a helicopter ride today during the festivities. Get a special Bud Light TomorrowWorld can and enjoy a cold one as you become a living steampunk masterpiece in the awesome environment that is the Garden of Whatever. Are you up for anything? Then you’re at the place you’re meant to be!

Beauty lies in the eye of the beerholder. Come taste the best beer in the world at the Belgian Beer Café at TomorrowWorld. There’s a cold one just begging for you to drink it on top of the Main Stage. Leffe, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, you’ll never want to go back to the average brews at your liquor store at home. Oh, and where there’s beer in America, there’s sports. Want to see your team beating those other guys by a mile? Then head up to the Café and take a little break from the madness. Cheers!

A BEER WITH A VIEW

ARE YOU AWARE...THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WITHOUT

A ROOF ABOVE THEIR HEAD OR WITHOUT CLOTHES,THAT YOU CAN HELP THOSE PEOPLE BY BRINGINGYOUR TENT, SLEEPING BAGS OR CLOTHES TO YOUR DISTRICT HOUSE INSTEAD OF LEAVING THEM JUST

BEHIND ON THE FIELD?

REMEMBER, WE ARE ONE WORLD.

Brooke: “TomorrowWorld is the only festival of its kind we host at Chattahoochee Hills. The rest of the year we primarily focus on equestrian events, an expensive word for all kinds of sports including horses.”

Carl Bouckaert, the owner of the property, is a two-time Olympic rider himself. Nowadays the hills are host to over 20 events, ranging from dressage to jumping, and many of the horses and their owners are top-level athletes, as well. The Icon Stage for instance, next to the Main Stage, is a jumping ground for horses (instead of music fans) most of the year.

“It’s his own little piece of paradise. He has

owned it for about 20 years now and has built it from the ground up. At dusk, the incredible sunsets set the sky ablaze and in the morning the sounds of the native woodland critters like deer, foxes, otters and coyote nicely break the silence. It’s a true shrine to Mother Nature.”

It is indeed hard not to fall in love cruising over the endless hills. The home of TomorrowWorld is only about a third of the total terrain. You can get lost for days and still have not seen everything.

“The reason TomorrowWorld is such a great fit for us, is the magical fairytale they’re telling. The way the stages are dressed up,

FOR ONE WEEKEND A YEAR, THE PEOPLE OF TOMORROW UNITE AT THE MAGICAL CHATTAHOOCHEE HILLS. YOU’VE BEEN WANDERING AROUND THE GREEN ROLLING HILLS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS NOW. HAVE YOU TAKEN A MOMENT TO REALIZE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE TERRAIN YET? FROM THE PRISTINE FOREST TO THE SOFT GRASS AND IMMACULATE LAKES, THE NATURAL APPEAL OF THESE GORGEOUS GROUNDS IS A MAJOR PART OF THE MAGIC OF TOMORROWWORLD. IT’S A SANCTUARY, CREATED SOLELY FOR GETTING AWAY FROM THE HECTIC PACE OF MODERN LIFE. A GROUP OF PASSIONATE PEOPLE HAVE DEDICATED COUNTLESS DAYS, WEEKS, YEARS TO HELP SHAPE YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME. WE TOOK A MOMENT AND TALKED TO ONE OF THESE HARD WORKERS, BROOKE, WHO OVERSEES DAY-TO-DAY LIFE IN CHATTAHOOCHEE HILLS.

CHATTAHOOCHEE HILLS FACTS• The terrain is 8000 acres big.• There are over 250 competition stables.• A full 12 miles of Chattahoochee River run through the terrain.• There are 8 lakes within the hills.• And even though it seems a world away, the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport is only 15 minutes away.• Want to experience the Hills for yourself? They also host the Tough Mudder Mud Run once a year. Look it up!

the People of Tomorrow themselves and the good vibes they bring along, it complements the grounds as much as the grounds are an essential factor underlining the story of TomorrowWorld. The guys behind the festival also take it upon themselves to give back to the terrain as much as possible, to limit the impact of the festival wherever they can. This includes recycling, protecting the grass, the overall effort they make to leaving the place just as it was when they arrived.” Leave no trace behind, a philosophy that has earned

TomorrowWorld a place in the heart of Chattahoochee Hills’ guardians.

Want to see how the intimate and intricate dance between TomorrowWorld and the Chattahoochee Hills comes to life? We’ve lined up all the stages for you on the next pages. What, you thought they were just put in a random place? Silly you. The creators of this world thought of everything.

A mixture of trance and bass awaits all that can find the secret stage tucked deep in the woods away from it all. One of the farthest stages from the entrance, the Forest stage is found via a windy road that traverses water and leads music-seeking souls deep into the Chattahoochee’s enchanted forest. At the end of the road, you will find one of the most spellbinding stages naturally constructed of majestic trees moving with the sounds of deep and dark bass and uplifting trance. DJs work their magic right from the trunk of a giant tree as the leaves rattle and shake with the music and the dancing and jumping of the joyful People of Tomorrow. It’s here in the Forest that nature herself will impart the wisdom allowing you to be as deeply rooted in dance music as these magical trees.

You can’t forget to get your daily dose of knowledge over at the Book Stage. Tucked away behind the great lake and the Boat Stage, the Book Stage can only be reached by those geeked fans willing to cross the long bridge and enter the forest where the real wisdom lies. Featuring towers and shelves of leather-bound books creating a secret library of sound, the Book Stage schools its students each day with massive beats. Of course, your professors are only EDM’s most discerning beat scientists and scholars. You better pay attention to their musical lessons! You will be tested, and the only way to pass is to dance your brains out! So, People of Tomorrow, are you ready for your next assignment? Good. Hit the Book Stage and get busy!

In one of the most abstract designs on the TomorrowWorld grounds, the famed Mythical Frames stage is a marvelous collage of framed LED screens, designed to capture and reflect breathtaking visuals as well as you and all of your favorite moments at the festival. Mythical Frames bends the rules of time and space to create a surreal viewing experience for everyone who comes to spectate. Tucked into the woods of Chattahoochee Hills and with the sparkling lake as its backdrop, this stage is absolutely worth the long journey, not just for its crazy design, but for the level of talent performing there, too. Similar to the Main Stage, Mythical Frames spends two days as its own stage, which allows the personality of its unique production to shine through. The People of Tomorrow have been celebrating the return of the Mythical Frames stage by coming here to make memories and discover new favorite artists.

Leave the dry land behind as you venture out onto the water to enjoy a sonic voyage on a beautiful boat made by Mother Nature herself. This intimate stage is but one port in the mythical TomorrowWorld journey to happiness. Raised just a few feet above the water and surrounded by the lake of hidden treasures, the Boat Stage is formed of leaves and stems that lead into a vibrant red flower housing the DJ deck. With large exotic leaves as its sails, this boat will take you places through amazing music, but remember - it’s all about the journey not the destination! At night, this stage serves as more of a lighthouse than boat, guiding the People of Tomorrow home to the sounds of drum n’ bass and more. Be sure to drop your anchor (and drop your booty) here a few times before the weekend comes to a close.

The Icon Stage is - as its name implies - the most iconic production you can find in the world of Tomorrow. The dance floor is shaped as the seminal symbol of Tomorrowland, and the stage boasts tall towers that engulf the crowd in blankets of sound. The stage is raised high above the crowd as pools of water surround the booth and the crowd of music-hungry dancers. At the DJs queue, great pillars of fire spring from the booth, making everyone go completely mad. The first stage you see as you enter the grounds from DreamVille, the Icon Stage sits comfortably behind the main stage and unites all the People of Tomorrow over the quintessential logo reminding us of the magic and wonder this festival brings. Meet us in the middle of it all, as we join together to celebrate and honor the fairytale world that brought us together.

Continuing the tradition of fantastical, larger than life production, the Main Stage of TomorrowWorld is the crowning jewel of the festival. The magnificent machine was unlocked by the Key To Happiness, revealing three full days of madness led by the guardians of the key - dance music’s most revered headliners in the world. The mechanical gears and cogwheels of the multi-story steampunk machine are powered by blazing kilns and a powerful water wheel, which are all maintained by loyal craftsmen. The main stage is a symbol of our willingness to dream, to gather and create a place where cultures collide and the People of Tomorrow can unite as one under the majestic spirit who watches over us at TomorrowWorld. This year’s Main Stage is celebration of true happiness, complete with the most beautiful sounds you’ve ever heard and the most spectacular fireworks you’ve ever seen!

TomorrowWorld’s Wind Stage will literally blow you away! Free from the forces of nature and rather powered by its own, this tent is filled with fans of every size and color to keep the vibes cool and ever-flowing. Underneath the big top is a playground of eye-popping lights centered around a massive LED screen to draw you in. The Wind Stage pushes the boundaries and isn’t afraid to bring the power and heat with its pyrotechnic displays. This tent has been bumping all weekend with its sonic breezes and gusts of energy as it pumps out the best in deep house and trance from all your favorite artists. Today, the Wind Tent brings not just DJs, but artists, performing with full bands, amazing vocalists, and some of the most spectacular visuals TomorrowWorld has ever seen. It’s here that you can go where the wind takes you and navigate to your happy place!

Nestled in the lush forest of the Chattahoochee Hills, the mythical Grand Theatre provides a majestic stage for artists to showcase their talents and perform the best sets of their careers for the People of Tomorrow. Designed after the classic Vaudeville theaters from the early 1900s, the Grand Theatre is a small but stately stage with a graceful design that frames artists in the best light. The production packs a huge punch with brilliant lights and a mighty sound system, making the Grand Theatre feel like the Grand Ole Opry in the middle of the forest. Some of the world’s most promising acts will bring down the house, showcasing their music to an eager and active audience. The vibe at this stage is the perfect synergy as artists woo the crowd with musical performances featured nowhere else on the magical journey of TomorrowWorld.

THE KANDI KONNECTEDMANY OF THE PEOPLE OF TOMORROW ARE DECKED OUT IN THEIR NEON BEADS, AKA KANDI BRACELETS, COVERING THEIR WRISTS AND FOREARMS. YOU MAY BE WEARING ONE WITH A CUTE ANIMAL OR CATCHY PHRASE AROUND YOUR WRIST RIGHT NOW. WE THOUGHT YOU ALL LOOKED PRETTY AWESOME WEARING THEM, SO WE ASKED WHAT SPECIFIC PIECES OF KANDI MEANT TO SOME OF THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF TOMORROW.

STELANIE CHIRGOTT – AKRON, OHIO “The bracelets are a great way to connect with other people at festivals. I make about twenty per festival. If I see someone having a bad time, I’ll give one of my bracelets. I will give a bracelet away even if I see someone having a great time! It’s about gifting, and you get what you give.”

KYLE – CHICAGO “I trade bracelets because it’s a good way to get to know people and start friendships. I remember the first time I got a bracelet. A woman asked me to trade bracelets with her. I didn’t have one to give, but she gave me a bracelet and a big hug anyway.”

JORDAN – LOS ANGELES“I’m wearing the first bracelet I ever got. It was given to me at a Monster Massive show in 2007. All of the paint has fallen off so now it looks black. I wear it on my right arm with all of the bracelets with personal meaning that I won’t give away. I’ll only give away the bracelets I wear on my left arm.”

KIM – ORLANDO, FLORIDA “I make bracelets with my mom and little sister. I make fifty for each festival and leave with about half that amount. Politeness is what makes me want to give a bracelet away. We’re all being pushed around when we’re dancing, so it’s about who has a good attitude! My favorite bracelet I’ve ever been given was from a security guard here at TomorrowWorld.”

ARMIN VAN BUURENThe one and only Armin van Buuren will be performing the closing ceremony at this year’s TomorrowWorld! The King of Trance has had an illustrious career as the head of his own label Armada Music and as the host of the world-renowned A State of Trance radio show. In the course of over two decades, he has released five artist albums and countless compilations including the critically acclaimed Universal Religion and A State of Trance. The ultimate fan experience, a 5-hour live show called Armin Only, which features dancers, circus performers, and vocalists from his most famous songs is absolutely legendary. Armin has been a trailblazer for dance music across the world, from performing at the coronation for the King of the Netherlands in 2013, to holding the title of the #1 DJ in the world for 3 years in a row (2007-2009). As if that wasn’t enough, he also went on to obtain his law degree after dropping out of school to pursue his dream of making music! Tonight, Armin will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to perform on the night of a lunar eclipse that will turn the moon red - a magical event that hasn’t happened in almost 15 years! He is the perfect DJ to provide the finale for this annual gathering of TomorrowWorld as his unique talent for euphoric, harmonious trance is unparalleled. Fans can certainly look forward to hearing his latest masterpieces like his “Off the Hook” collab with Hardwell and his single “Another You” featuring Mr. Probz from his upcoming album, Embrace. You’re invited to join in at the Main Stage as we dance, laugh and sing to the sounds of Armin van Buuren, an artist that represents the spirit of TomorrowWorld.

As seasoned as he is a talented musician, the Toronto-based producer & songwriter, Shaun Frank, puts quality music above all else. “My focus has always been writing memorable melodies, timeless lyrics and putting as much energy and passion as I can behind the production,” he says outlining his artistic intentions. Beginning his music career at the age of 14, Shaun Frank front-manned his previous bands, toured the world over, and in the past year he finds himself transitioning fully into the world of Electronic Dance Music. It was one single in particular that put Frank on the map - the collaboration “This Could Be Love” with Borgeous featuring Delaney Jane. Released at the end of 2014 on Spinnin’ Records, “This Could Be Love” held its position in Beatport’s Top 10 chart for over two months and received airplay on dance music radio stations across the globe. Shaun is not solely concerned with making music that sells, but songs that cut to the soul.

BAKERMAT

If you can, how would you describe the appeal of the fairytale Tomorrowland tells? What makes it a special place for you?“Last year and this year, I hosted the Bakermat & Friends stage at Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland is something very special for me, back when I was a bit younger I used to go as a visitor, dreaming of being able to play there, and now I’m hosting my own stage every year! The great thing about Tomorrowland is that it’s more than just a festival, it’s an experience and a story. Two years ago I talked to the organizers of Tomorrowland about the festival, and we agreed that deep melodic house deserved its own stage. They asked me to host it because I’ve been making this kind of music since 2012, and I know a lot of the melodic guys. This year the stage was once again packed all day. I think people just really feel attracted to different kinds of house music than always the same EDM stuff. They want to explore the genre a bit more. Melodic house is kind of the opposite of the big room EDM sound, because it’s not about big build ups, epic drops and synths, but about melody and real instruments. I think that’s why it’s so popular at the moment.”

When is a track ‘done’ for you? Are you searching for something specific? What goes through your head when you finally or suddenly ‘get it right’?“A track is done for me if the arrangement is perfect and it has all the elements I want in it. I always have an intro, break, chorus and outro, and I always try to find a way to arrange them in a way that the track remains exciting the entire time. I also never want to make something ‘basic.’ I always try to find a way to make the track special or different than all other songs there are. That’s very challenging to always try to remain original and fresh, but it’s the only way to stay on top and be considered a tastemaker. I wouldn’t be proud of myself if I just made copies of other styles, genres or tracks. The moment I ‘get it right’ is almost always when I’m messing around with a melody and a chord progression, cause that’s the main element of every song I make. When I find a great combination of melody and progression, I can feel it right away, and I can listen to it like a thousand times. It’s pure euphoria! Then I start building a track around that melody progression combination.”

Why do you set the emphasis on live instruments in your music? Has it to do with your family and background? “Because live instruments bring a bit of a human touch to dance music. When it’s just synths and digital beats, there’s almost no chance for a little imperfection here and there. For me personally the music is great if I can hear that it’s been made by a human being, with little imperfections and improvised parts. With the live instruments I add that human touch to my own tracks. My mother is an opera singer and I used to go to all her concerts, so that definitely had its impact. My parents didn’t raise me to be a musician at all, they both wanted me to study (which I did), and told me to keep music as a hobby. When I got my first hit, they changed their mind (haha!). My mom has a huge influence, because she is always the one that hears a new track or project first. She’s very honest, and I think she has great taste in music so I take her criticism very seriously. I would love to make a track with my mother, I would have to find a way to mix opera with melodic house!”

Reeeemix! This unique trio changes the electronic dance music game with a live show that involves an explosive live analog setup. If you have yet to see a Keys ‘n Krates performance, you’ll find that it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen before. They re-invented the art of remixing, taking it to a whole new level. Each band member does his own thing, but together they are the perfect mix. Adam Tune is the drummer, they’ve got David Matisse on the keys and World Champion Jr. Flo for the turntables. These talented musicians brilliantly combine live instrumentation, turntablism and live sampling right before your eyes. They remix a wide range of music genres, but hip- hop is always their jumping off point, as it lends a certain street vibe that has become a signature of their performance. While they’ve been previously labeled as a trap band, it doesn’t do their diverse and refreshing sound justice. From jazz-influenced DJs mixes to glitch-hop scratches and sweeping bass, this EDM band will blow your mind!

Klingande is a French tropical house DJ that is changing the game with his refreshing sound. Don’t expect typical big room drops during his set; what separates this DJ from the rest is a sound that is overflowing with soul. Klingande will take the People of Tomorrow on a journey with a slower tempo and a casual, feel-good vibe. He’s been dubbed Saxo Deep House as saxophone and piano are often at that forefront of his tracks, but Cédric Steinmyller describes his music as ‘melodic house.’ The track “Jubel” was the big break trough for Klingande. It reached the Top 5 of the French singles chart and was eventually certified gold or platinum in seven countries. Back in the days, Klingande was a duo: Cédric Steinmyller and Edgar Catry. The two friends started producing after they were inspired by the music of Swedish House Mafia. So inspired that they chose a Swedish name; Klingande, which is Swedish for “chimes.”

Flux Pavilion has a long and storied history that begins way before his rise to fame. As a young music lover, his passion for producing was ignited after seeing Rusko perform at a small club in his hometown.

As one of the founders of Circus Records based out of the UK, Flux Pavilion has been privy to advancements in sound design, style and composition among all levels of bass music.

Sometimes everything just falls into place. For the Belgian duo Wolfpack, that moment occurred during their debut at Tomorrowland in 2011. With a smashing set, they sweeped Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike off their feet, leaving them wondering where the hell these two guys came from. It didn’t really matter because as soon as they could, Dimitri & Mike signed Wolfpack on their label imprint Smash The House. It’s years later, and Wolfpack is still going as strong as that special first performance. They’ve released club hits like “Rising Moon” and “Miracle,” and collaborated on the TomorrowWorld 2013 anthem “Ocarina” with their guardian angels Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. After leaping into DJ Mag’s top 100 DJs list and establishing themselves as Ibiza favorites with an Amnesia residency, Wolfpack has expanded the scope of their sound to match their vast ambition with their latest release “Drop the Smiley.” With this and their recent domination of Tomorrowland Brasil’s Main Stage, we can’t wait for Wolfpack to take over TomorrowWorld’s Main Stage today!
