Dreamstate SoCal full lineup
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre — save anything straight to your schedule.
ARTBAT
Ukrainian duo whose melodic techno went from small rooms to main stages on the back of a handful of enormous records.
Paul van Dyk pres Essence Of Acid
One of trance's founding figures, three decades in and still building sets around momentum rather than drops. The Essence of Acid project digs back into the 303.
Vini Vici
The Israeli duo who dragged psytrance onto main stages worldwide — full-on, fast, and completely unashamed about it.
Ace Ventura
Psytrance at its groove-led, progressive end — rolling and hypnotic rather than frantic.
ALPHA 9 + Ilan Bluestone
Arty's ALPHA 9 alias alongside Anjunabeats mainstay Ilan Bluestone — melodic trance from two of the label's most dependable writers.
Aly & Fila + Billy Gillies
Egypt's Aly & Fila — uplifting trance purists — paired with Billy Gillies's harder and much newer take on it.
Andrew Rayel pres Extasia
Cinematic, high-drama trance; Extasia is the alias for when he wants it harder and faster.
Andy Moor
UK producer and remixer whose fingerprints are on a generation of the genre's defining records.
Astrix
Full-on psytrance played with a driving, relentless pulse — one of the genre's most reliable live draws.
BT + Matt Fax
BT — whose production techniques half the genre quietly borrowed — with progressive producer Matt Fax.
Dash Berlin
Built on enormous vocal trance singles — the anthems are the entire point and the set is arranged around them.
Enrico Sangiuliano
Italian techno producer with a sound-design obsession — long sculpted builds and a low end you feel before you hear.
Ferry Corsten + Marsh
Ferry Corsten's three decades of trance beside Marsh's warmer, slower-burning progressive end.
Infected Mushroom
Israeli duo who never sat still — psytrance roots with rock and electronica grafted on, and a live show that leans into all of it.
John 00 Fleming
Thirty years in trance's darker, psy-leaning corner — sets that unfold across hours rather than peaks.
Key4050
Bryan Kearney and John O'Callaghan's joint project — hard-edged, high-tempo trance from two Irish veterans of it.
MaRLo
Dutch-Australian producer trading in hard-hitting, high-energy trance sized for the biggest room available.
Neelix
German producer whose progressive-leaning psytrance became one of the scene's most widely played sounds.
Pegassi
Reinier Zonneveld (Live)
Performs techno entirely live on hardware — acid lines assembled and torn down in front of you, nothing pre-baked.
Solarstone
The loudest voice for 'pure trance' — uplifting, melodic and deliberately unhurried, as a matter of principle.
4 Strings (Classics Set)
Dutch project behind 'Take Me Away' — vocal trance from the genre's commercial high-water mark.
A.N.I.
Aaron Hibell (Live)
UK producer making cinematic, orchestral-leaning techno — closer to a film score with a kick under it.
Allen Watts + Talla 2XLC
Dutch uplifting producer Allen Watts alongside Talla 2XLC, a German DJ whose career predates most of the room.
Animato
Barakuda
BK
Burn In Noise
Chris Metcalfe
Cold Blue
German producer making uplifting trance that leans on melody and restraint rather than volume.
Darren Porter + Sean Tyas
Two uplifting-trance heavyweights back to back, both known for going harder than the label suggests.
Das Pharaoh
David Forbes + Mark Sherry pres Thick As Thieves
David Rust + Olly James
Discovery Project
Not a fixed act — an open-call talent search whose winner takes the slot, so the name behind it changes each time it appears.
Eddie Halliwell + Judge Jules
Two British radio-era veterans back to back — Halliwell's fast, technical mixing against Judge Jules's anthem-heavy history.
FRANKYEFFE
Giorgia Angiuli
Performs techno live using toy instruments and her own voice alongside the hardware — a genuinely unusual stage setup.
GMS
Long-running psytrance project rooted in the sound's Goa origins — full-on and fast, with the history to back it.
Hannah Laing + Marie Vaunt
JOA
John Askew + Simon Patterson
Two British DJs from trance's harder, psy-tinged edge, playing back to back the way they usually do.
KARMÅ
KAUFMANN (DE)
Lee Ann Roberts
Marco V
Dutch producer working the trance-techno crossover since before it needed a name.
Maria Healy
Matty Ralph
Mauro Picotto
Italian veteran whose late-'90s records — 'Komodo', 'Lizard' — are still set staples a quarter century on.
Maximizer
Mirage (Live)
NRG2000
Nu Aspect
Panteros666
Parallel Worlds
Perfect Stranger
Progressive psytrance with a deep, patient groove — closer to a slow tide than a peak.
Phaxe
Danish producer at psytrance's melodic, progressive end — big hooks over a rolling bassline.
Rising Dust
Schrotthagen
Sequence Six
Shay De Castro
Sighter
Steve Dekay
Terra
TH;EN
The Rocketman
VisionV
Warp Brothers
German duo behind 'Phatt Bass' — hard dance with a rave-anthem streak that has aged better than it had any right to.
