With three decades of experience and appearances in over 35 countries, German-born, Greek-rooted Kosta Athanassiadis—better known as XDB—is an artist who lets the music do the talking. An avid vinyl collector since childhood, Kosta cut his teeth in the early ‘90s, eventually launching his revered Metrolux record label in 2006. While his early productions hooked listeners with shimmering dub techno, his legendary 3-deck DJ sets defy easy categorization. Drawing from a seemingly infinite record collection, XDB is a master of pacing, letting tracks breathe and delivering plenty of those head-scratching, "what the hell is this track?" moments. It’s this innate, low-key brilliance that has made him a beloved staple at some of the world’s most discerning festivals, from Japan’s Labyrinth to Houghton, Waking Life, and a cherished residency at Wales' Freerotation. Expect a masterclass in selection, spanning the absolute highest quality of electronic music. Setting the tone for the night is Lucents, the Hong Kong-based, UK-hailing duo of Ryan Doherty and Andy Smith. Known for their dynamic synergy in the booth, Lucents are masters of building atmosphere, playfully feeding off each other’s energy to deliver raw emotion to the dancefloor. Whether they are weaving through rare 12” disco cuts, classic tech house, or Detroit techno, their sweet spot always remains in deep, soulful, and cinematic spaces. With their highly anticipated debut vinyl release dropping later this summer in 2026, Lucents are on a mission to create transcendental moments where darkness meets light—uniting the dancefloor through a shared, higher vibration.
