Lineup
Mha Iri
Hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland, Mha Iri is one of techno's most compelling rising forces — bold, high-energy, and unmistakably her own. Her sound fuses big-room power with emotional depth, weaving in acid and trance elements alongside her own hypnotic vocals, carving out a lane that's impossible to place in any one box. Since her debut productions in 2018, Mha Iri has climbed to the top of the global techno scene, ranked the #2 best-selling female techno artist on Beatport in both 2023 and 2024, including #1 in Hard Techno and #2 in Peak Time Techno. In 2024 she signed to iconic label PIAS (part of UMG), backing a run of chart-topping releases on Drumcode, Filth on Acid and Trick. Her festival and club resume reads like a wishlist: Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Junction 2, Sonus, Terminal V, Hï Ibiza, Amnesia, Fabrik Madrid and Fabric London, with tracks like "Leader of the Pack" becoming essential weapons for headline DJs on main stages and underground floors alike. 2025 has been her biggest year yet. Her first EP of the year on Drumcode shot straight to #1 on Beatport, followed by the hard-hitting single "Move" and "Out Of Time," a standout collaboration with US talent Marie Vaunt. Her Four Elements series — four EPs themed around Earth, Fire, Water and Air — has racked up millions of streams and defined a new era of high-intensity hard dance and techno. Touring relentlessly across the globe, from a 10-date US run to weekly stops across Europe, Mha Iri has played everywhere from LA to Mumbai without slowing her release schedule. This September, she touches down in Auckland for her only New Zealand date — a rare chance to catch one of techno's most exciting voices up close.
Matty Ralph
Hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Matty Ralph is a dynamic and versatile DJ and producer known for high-energy, emotionally charged sets. Refusing to be pigeonholed, his sound spans Techno, Classic Trance, Hard House and Hard Dance — best described as "banging," nostalgic rave energy built for peak-time floors. 2025 has been a breakout year. He kicked things off with a standout performance at ASOT in Rotterdam, followed by a hugely successful debut headline show in his native Belfast at Limelight, close to selling out. His rapidly growing reputation has since landed him major bookings including Creamfields 2025, Hï Ibiza, Doof In The Park (Dundee), SWG3 (Glasgow), Trance in the Woods Festival, Rong (Malta), and ASOT London — cementing his place among the scene's fastest-rising names. On the production side, Matty scored his first Beatport top ten with "1999" on Ben Hemsley's label Bebe, with upcoming releases signed to Armada, Rave Alert, DOOF, Dreamstate (Insomniac), Polyamor Berlin and SoundCloud all dropping before the end of summer. His tracks have already earned support from industry heavyweights including Hannah Laing, Ben Nicky, Armin van Buuren, W&W, 999999999, Patrick Mason, Patrick Topping, Ben Hemsley, Ben Gold, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Will Atkinson, Blasterjaxx, Schak, Ki/Slash/Ki, Charlie Sparks and Parfait. With Ben Hemsley, Armada A&R James Hiett, and Hannah Laing all naming him their "one to watch for 2025," Matty Ralph is a name on the rise fast — pushing boundaries and captivating audiences wherever he plays. This September, he touches down in Auckland as co-headliner for one night only, bringing his infectious energy and unmistakable sound to New Zealand for the very first time.
