There is no denying that Dutch turbine Laidback Luke has truly established a name for himself. His dynamic fusion of hyper-drive-house-step & ghetto-jack-trance-bass is the sound of now and has been for the past decade – and there is no sign of it slowing down!
Born in the Philippines and raised in Holland, Luke van Scheppingen, aka Laidback Luke, without a doubt is the reference point of the dance scene for thousands of clubbers these days. Blasting your speakers with blockbuster beats, stirring things up with his hybrid house styles and his unlimited energy, brightly results in both stunning live sets and ongoing anticipated studio hits. The Dutch heavy weight house master is loved all over the globe: his Super You&Me events sell out wherever it goes to and they ranked him 20th place on by-all-means-wanted TOP 100 DJ lists.
2012 is an eventful year for Laidback Luke. Slated to perform at the most popular dance/electro festivals such as EDC, Electric Zoo, Ultra, Tomorrowland and Creamfields, he is ready to destroy international dance floors with new party anthems. His latest productions and collaborations featured artists such as Wynter Gordon, Martin Solveig, Chuckie, Example, Norman Doray and Arno Cost. Luke’s remixes have also had their highlights with Madonna’s – Gimme All Your Luvin’, Chris Lake’s – Sundown and Aaron Smith feat. Luvli’s – Dancin’. Performing and producing relentlessly and innovating musically as an artist like nobody else, tracks like "Show Me Love", "Step By Step", "Hey", IDMA winning "Leave The World Behind", "Till Tonight", "Natural Disaster", "Turbulence" and "Speak Up" became all-time favorites on the dance floors.
Laidback Luke’s exposure rate has increased drastically on the back of his North American “Speak Up” bus Tour. His seven-week tour brought Laidback Luke and his Mixmash cohorts Oliver Twizt and GTA to cities of all sizes. Never one to shy away from an edgier sound, Laidback Luke injected a high dose of energy to “Speak Up” with a stomping build-up throughout the first half of the track that leads to a softer, suspenseful melody, supported by Wynter Gordon's vocals. Luke launches into another intense, aggressive build up to see the track through to the end.
After “Speak Up” Laidback Luke created another heavyweight anthem to knock everyone down. The massive production “1234”, with Chuckie and Martin Solveig on vocals, has all the chances to blow up charts and dance grounds in no time! This tune comes with a quirky video which was viewed more then 50.000 times in the first 24 hours.

Hailing from Reggio Emilia, Italy, Benny Benassi rose to worldwide fame with the 2002 release of his enormous chart-topping hit single “Satisfaction.” It was with that tune that he initiated a new genre of music dubbed as Electro, which earned him the crown “Godfather of Electro.” The demand for Benassi as a DJ is incredible and he headlines major festivals and venues around the world, including performances at this year’s Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival festivals and major North American clubs including Pacha in New York and Government in Toronto. Benassi’s previous album releases include 2003′s Hypnotica (featuring “No Matter What You Do” and “Love is Gonna Save Us”) as Benny Benassi presents The Biz, 2004′s Pumphonia (whose singles “Illusion” and “Hit My Heart” became massive European hits) and 2005’s …Phobia as the Benassi Brothers, and 2008′s Rock N Rave (featuring Iggy Pop, Black Box, and Mia J). Benny Benassi’s new album Spaceship will be released in 2011 on Ultra Records.
