Heatbeat

Argentinean duo Heatbeat have blasted onto the global EDM scene over the past 5 years. With a cutting edge, futuristic sound, they routinely fuse multiple genres together to create new, trance-based sounds for the future.

Signed to the legendary Armada Music, their productions such as ‘Extra Bacon’, ‘Rocker Monster’, and ‘Roses Never Cry’ have topped download charts and playlists worldwide, picking up plays from a diverse range of DJs from Armin van Buuren & Paul van Dyk to Porter Robinson, Gareth Emery & Tiësto, and they have been asked to remix for and collaborate with some of the world’s biggest headliners, including Armin van Buuren & Richard Durand.

Their DJ sets incorporate this musical diversity with unique mash-ups and bootlegs (forged in the Heatbeat studios) to keep the dance-floor packed. On stage, the duo spends as much time entertaining as they do educating!

With their touring schedule going into overdrive, this group has gone global. They’ve performed in Australia, Canada, Europe, Russia, and Asia under the world’s biggest brands, including A State Of Trance, Godskitchen, The Gallery and many more. Even still, it’s in South America where Heatbeat are the biggest EDM stars, touring regularly and hosting their very own sellout event ‘Heatbeat Night’ in their native Argentina.

This huge popularity resulted in their debut entry into DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs at No. 81 in 2012, increasing their worldwide demand even further. In 2013 they released a string of massive singles, including ‘#BOOM’, ‘Nasty’, they mixed ‘Trance World Vol. 17’, and rocked Armada events around the globe. Early 2014 had them remixing Aly & Fila, proving yet again Heatbeat are the sound of the future!

Protoculture

Only a few South African producers enjoy the success that DJ and Producer Nate Raubenheimer (better known to most as Protoculture) has had over the last 8 years. Sucked into the art of music production at a young age, he made the leap to pursue a music career professionally after completing his studies in Audio Engineering at the age of 20. His career began by immediately taking the international psy-trance scene by storm with his first artist album, ‘Refractions’ and trademark melodic and uplifting sound.

A slew of international performances followed, seeing Nate travel to all four corners of the globe. From London to Tokyo, Sao Paulo to Moscow. Nate has rocked dance-floors everywhere, most notably at festivals such as Glastonbury and Glade in the UK, Universo Parallello on the beaches of Bahia, Brazil, and also in clubs and super clubs alike, such as Ageha in Tokyo. Nate has also played alongside a diverse range of international heavyweights like Paul van Dyk, Sasha, John 00 Flemming, Orbital, Future Sound of London, Juno Reactor, and Sander van Doorn, to name but a few.

The last year has seen a new direction for Protoculture, with collaborations with Max Graham, releases under Armada Records, and support from DJs such as Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Christopher Laurence, and John 00 Flemming. Nate strives to work outside the borders of regular genres whilst maintaining the signature uplifting style. He received a nomination for a SAMA (South African Music Award) for his remix work on Goldfish’s smash hit, ‘Cruising Through’ on Pacha Recordings, and released his third studio album ‘Love Technology’ in 2010.
