Amber Broos b2b MANDY
Unprecendented things happen at a pre-party as grand as The Gathering. How about this back-to-back by two of the most talked-about upcoming female talents in electronic music? Only a few years into her career, Amber Broos – known for her rave and trance-infused, relentless techno – has already become a Tomorrowland icon.
With Amber’s 2024 Atmosphere hosting still fresh in mind, even thinking about this joint session with Belgium’s uncrowned queen of hard dance MANDY will be enough to make a raver’s heart beat faster. Two styles, one show.
Henri PFR
Energetic, cheerful and inventive are some key words that spring to mind when thinking of Brussel’s Henri PFR. Now 29 years of age, Henri started releasing music from the tender age of 14.
Among his first fans was the great Armin van Buuren, who put out the track ‘Tarida’ on his Armada imprint. Henri’s most recent single ‘Run’ features emotive vocals by Ragdall and has already filled up global dance floors within seconds.
A set by Henri PFR equals forgetting about your day-to-day concerns while you dance to infectious grooves topped off by catchy vocals.
Odymel
Switzerland-born, Belgium-based selector and producer Odymel is as eclectic as the selection of DJs he’s part of today. Effortlessly mixing house, trance, eurodance, and techno is every weekend’s business for him and so is reading his crowds.
Odymel’s breakthrough moment was in February 2024, when he released ‘Gucci’, an ultimate floor filler and worldwide festival classic. We would be very surprised if this one didn’t make it to his digital record bag this year as well!
The catchy interplay between rhythm and melody that defines ‘Gucci’ is a hallmark of Odymel’s DJ sets in general, making for sunny vibes no matter the weather!
