He’s worked with icons such as <b>Justin Timberlake</b>, <b>Usher</b>, <b>N.E.R.D.</b> and <b>Lenny Kravitz</b> to name just a few. His performance on <b>ULTRA South Africa’s</b> main stage in 2016 blew the crowd away; expect Dash to bring energy levels to a peak at <b>ULTRA </b>in February.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>KSHMR</b> (pronounced Kashmir), real name Niles Hollowell-Dhar, was awarded "The Highest New Entry" on <b>DJ Mag's Top 100 </b>DJ list, and has since moved up 11 places this year to the No.12 spot.

Anyone who watched him on the <b>RESISTANCE</b> stages around the world or was at the legendary Space Ibiza closing party will know exactly how good this British DJ and producer is at getting a dance floor going, and keeping it going long into the night.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joining Nic on this year’s <b>RESISTANCE </b>program is <b>Black Coffee</b>.
