Known for consistently providing the greatest acts in house and techno, Body Language Music Festival is back and better than ever this year! Body Language will be headed to the Phoenix Raceway this February 16 & 17th with one of its best lineups to date. Here is our official guide and headliner breakdown that is full of your must-see sets and more!
Body Language Music Festival: Day 1
Starting off our two-day escapade are headliners Eric Prydz, SOFI TUKKER, Martin Ikin, Dombresky, OMNOM, Shermanology, Kream, and more! A day full of legends, the opening day for Body Language 2024 is set to make history. With a chance to see some of today’s biggest acts in dance music, here are some of our must-see sets for Day 1!
Eric Prydz
The man, the myth, the legend. For over a decade, Eric Prydz has flawlessly produced some of the industry’s greatest progressive house hits. You’ve definitely danced to his tracks “Call On Me” and “Opus,” or maybe his remix of Empire of the Sun’s “We Are Mirage.” With live performances that take you on a visual journey, this platinum-selling producer has created some of the most technically stunning live performances of any touring artist. Seeing him live is a rare opportunity that you don’t want to miss!
SOFI TUKKER (DJ Set)
GRAMMY-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER always provide a good time! These two best friends know how to give an electrifying performance full of vibrancy, feel-good tunes, and community-driven positivity. They are sure to set the tone for the weekend with their high-energy DJ set. It’ll be the biggest house party you’ve ever been to! I would go listen to their tracks “Drinkee” and “Purple Hat” to get you started.
Martin Ikin
Since 1991, Martin Ikin has gained recognition as one of the world’s best producers and top-selling tech house artists. Martin’s versatility and in-depth knowledge of music production have led him to create hits like “Burnin’,” “Headnoise,” and “Make U Sweat.” His set will provide soul purpose and raw emotion.
Dombresky
Get ready to move and groove at Body Language with the disco don himself! Dombresky has become one of the most in-demand DJs in EDM, and for good reason too! His sets are like a tropical beach party meets an underground disco rave. Vibes are always immaculate.
OMNOM
You’ll be “Losing Control” at Body Language during OMNOM’s set! In the last couple of years, OMNOM has released and helped produce some of the industry’s biggest bangers. This house music icon has consistently shown why he’s one of the most promising stars in dance music. With his excellent sense of humor, OMNOM also carries what we refer to as “EDM Twitter”; you can see his X (aka Twitter) here. You should also check out his latest remix of Snakehips and LAUREL’s track “Bringing Me Home.”
State of Mind Stage Takeover
A new installment at this year’s Body Language is the Mirage. On Day 1, the Mirage will feature an official stage takeover by the hypnotic sounds of State of Mind. The stage takeover will have headliners: Calussa, Dennis Ferrer, Dombresky, Dubfire, Martin Ikin, Shermanology, and DXNTE.
Body Language Music Festival: Day 2
With headliners like deadmau5, Layton Giordani, Chris Avantgarde, Sammy Virji, MEDUZA, and more, Day 2 is serving up the most iconic lineup for house and techno! Day 2 will also provide an official stage takeover by Adam Beyer’s very own Drumcode Records. Here are some of our must-see sets for Day 2 of Body Language 2024!
AC Slater
For more than 10 years, AC Slater has been at the head of the Bass House movement. He was largely responsible for the subculture’s beginnings through both his artist project and his label Night Bass, which continues to pioneer the genre today by putting out some of the most genre-defining records in the scene. His set will showcase the best house, bass house, and UK garage you’ve ever seen.
deadmau5
I mean, do I even have to say it? One of the biggest pioneers of electronic music, deadmau5, is an obvious yes for this year’s must-see sets at Body Language! This six-time GRAMMY-nominated world-renowned producer (whew) has an epic and enigmatic stage presence that you need to witness. His journey is nothing short of extraordinary, and his music and epic visuals help tell the story.
MEDUZA
MEDUZA will steal a “Piece Of Your Heart” at Body Language. This Italian electronic supergroup will take over the mainstage with funky basslines, infectious vocal samples, and catchy melodies. They have successfully perfected the combination of deep house and tech house. You’ve probably heard them on the radio or any of the hottest EDM playlists of the last couple of years thanks to their self-titled mega-hit debut album, MEDUZA.
Sammy Virji
The energetic UKG and bassline king is a must-see! Sammy Virji is one of my most anticipated sets to catch at Body Language this year! Known for his “feel-good garage anthems” like “We’ll Be Alright” and “Find My Way Home,” Sammy Virji has carved out a niche space in captivating listeners with a distinctive fusion of UK garage, bassline, and grime. His sets always have major boiler room vibes.
HUGEL
HUGEL is for the culture! This multi-gold and platinum-selling artist started the Latin House movement with his hit song “Morenita.” His relentless beats (no pun intended) are sure to get you dancing on the Body Language dance floor!
Drumcode Stage Takeover
Get ready to hear the beats from the underground with an official stage takeover by Drumcode! Delivering a techno odyssey, Drumcode Records, founded by the legendary Adam Beyer, is set to take over the Mirage on Day 2! Drumcode will feature iconic techno artists Charles D, Chris Avantgarde, Layton Giordani, Marco Faraone, Melania Ribbe, Natalia Roth, and Disco Zombie! The Mirage stage takeovers are an absolute must for both days at Body Language!
Body Language is more than just a music festival. It’s a place for like-minded people to join a community that is based on the pillars of peace, love, unity, and respect. Dancing your heart out to some of the world’s best house and techno is also a major plus. Start off your 2024 festival season the right way and get your festival passes here. Let the countdown for Body Language 2024 at the Phoenix Raceway commence!
