You can catch sets from artists like Green Velvet, Odd Mob, Sammy Virji, Kaskade, Fisher, and so many more. As well, this year Decadence adds in an additional stage dedicated to the sounds of the underground brought by Body Language. This stage is set to bring three additional house artists to the lineup, including Wakyin, Riordan, and a special “after dark” Wax Motif set.

The Melting Spirals of Bass

For those of you who are looking for heavier sounds, Decadence has a massive list of artists from a variety of dubstep and bass heavy genres. For some headbanging and pounding bass check out Level Up, Subtronics, and a special Kai Wachi B2B Sullivan King set. For the wubz and experimental beats you can hit up Hamdi, GRiZ, and Tape B. Finally for all my drum n bass fans, legendary UK duo Chase and Status will be bringing the rapid basslines to Decadence this year.
