Puts the 'D' in EDM

There'll be enough sounds to keep you going until the crack of dawn – on both days. ZoukOut alumni Nervo return with their melodic yet hard-hitting EDM gold. Likewise, American hitmaker Kaskade will mark his second coming with bouncy, sweeping tunes. And for sweatier incentives to move, look no further than French agitator DJ Snake and Canadian big room bullies DVBBS.

All the major names from every blip in the house universe have been called upon to coax those shapes out of you. From the mainstream, get full- on to the four-on-the-floor of clubland kingpins such as Tiësto, Axwell and Ingrosso and R3hab. And not to be excluded, indie scene-stealers Oliver Heldens, Jamie Jones, Dixon and Deep Dish will sate your more left-field cravings.

Wants a state of trance

Bow before the holy trinity of Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold and Andrew Rayel. Between these gents, there’s a treasure trove of arms-in-the-air riches to beam you into outer space. Imagine ushering in the sunrise with heady cuts like 'Planet Rock' and 'In and Out of Love' coating the stratosphere – it doesn't get more #blessed than that.

As a true EDM spectacle, ZoukOut 2015 also brings together the hard-to-classify genres. Synthpop phenom Porter Robinson, minimal tech maven Paul Kalkbrenner, techno(ish) trio Visionquest and IDM impresario DJ Tennis make up this category of beyond-the-pale musicians.
