Countdown to Decadence: Underground Vibes at The Conservatory

If House music is your vibe, Decadence Arizona has you covered! From smooth grooves to peak-time bangers, this year’s lineup is stacked with talent that spans melodic, tech, minimal, and everything in between. If you’re chasing deep grooves, cutting-edge House, and an intimate dancefloor experience, The Conservatory stage at this year’s Decadence Arizona is the place to be.

A brand-new addition to the festival, The Conservatory is curated by Body Language. Focusing on underground vibes and high-quality production, this stage will serve as home to the late-night heavyweights, house music connoisseurs, and unforgettable sets—including a massive countdown performance from Wakyin. Here’s a look at some of the standout artists lighting up The Conservatory this year:


Ben Sterling

British DJ and electronic producer Ben Sterling is known for his blend of acid-house, tech-house, and disco-house influences. His sound draws on his early love of 70s– 80s disco, modern electro, and classic Chicago-house and Detroit-techno roots. Ben Sterling’s sets are atmospheric, emotive, and perfectly crafted. One of my absolute must-sees on this year’s lineup!


BRUNELLO B2B KINAHAU

This back-to-back duo is set to bring a dynamic energy, blending unique styles and unexpected drops to keep the crowd guessing and moving! Brunello is an underground tech‑house DJ/producer known for his mesmerizing grooves and melodic depth. His tracks “Illusions” and “Melted” showcase a blend of minimal and deep‑tech textures that keep dancefloors moving.

Kinahau, a rising Mexican-born DJ and producer, brings tribal-inspired rhythms and emotive basslines to modern house and tech‑house. His standout releases, “Turned Turk” and the legendary Michael Bibi collab “Different Side”, highlight his ability to fuse organic elements with club-ready energy. Together, they represent two distinct approaches to electronic music: Brunello’s moody, melodic underground style and Kinahau’s global, percussive, and journey-like sound. This is a B2B you do NOT want to miss!


Gio Lucca

Rising in the underground House scene, Gio Lucca delivers groovy, entrancing sets that steadily build and captivate the dancefloor. Drawing on his cultural roots, he fuses global influences with modern club energy. This year, he launched his ISO imprint with a standout rework of Laid Back’s “Cocaine Cool”. His tracks have earned support from Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, and Michael Bibi, making him one of the most exciting rising talents in the underground scene.


OMRI.

Known for his deep, driving House beats, OMRI. creates immersive sets that transport listeners and keep the dancefloor energy high. Whether through club nights, events, or studio releases, OMRI. keeps pushing boundaries, blending emotive melodies and entrancing beats for a one-of-a-kind experience.


Riordan

Combining tech and deep House influences, Riordan’s style is both smooth and powerful, ideal for the vibe of The Conservatory. Riordan sets are dancefloor‑driven journeys, weaving groovy basslines, hypnotic rhythms, and peak-time energy that keeps crowds moving from start to finish. With a talent for fusing nostalgic sounds with modern club vibes, Riordan’s Decadence set promises a dynamic, crowd‑focused experience that’s equal parts fun and riveting.


Ky William

Bringing a fresh take on House music, Ky William’s productions and live sets are rhythmic, infectious, and perfectly suited for festival energy. The New York–based DJ/producer brings deep, groovy house and techno to life with rich basslines, captivating percussion, and emotive soundscapes that dig beneath the surface. His sets are about more than just vibrant: they’re carefully crafted experiences that evolve and connect with listeners.  


Michael Hooker

With a knack for melodic hooks and deep grooves, Michael Hooker’s sets promise emotional peaks and unforgettable moments. He brings a refined, worldly palette to his DJ sets, weaving progressive house, deep‑house, and peak‑time club energy. With decades of experience since his origins in the Channel Isles, he crafts sets with musical maturity and attention to flow.


Prunk

Prunk delivers warm, soulful + uplifting house music rooted in the traditions of 80s–90s Chicago and New York house, but with a contemporary twist that keeps dancefloors moving.  As head of his own label, PIV Records, he’s carved out a niche: soulful, funk‑infused house — think jazzy keys, bouncy drums, and sometimes sax lines — balanced by modern production finesse. In a live set, expect an uplifting journey: warm grooves, steady rhythms, and smooth transitions, a vibe that invites dancing but also deep listening.  


Wakyin

Known for his energetic and unpredictable style, Wakyin will also close out the night with a massive countdown set that’s not to be missed. His music blends organic rhythms, rich cultural influences, and dancefloor sensibility — perfect for a set that moves beyond predictable beats and invites collective energy. On stage, Wakyin’s sets promise vibrant energy, cultural fusion, and beats that get both the body and soul moving.


Wax Motif

Whether it’s late-night or peak-hour, Wax Motif brings spellbinding grooves and a signature energy that makes every set feel like a journey. His “after‑dark” sets bring a dirty groove, bass-heavy energy that fuses underground house with swaggering G‑house, disco, and UK influences. Expect rolling basslines, crisp percussion, and enchanting rhythms that ride a vibe somewhere between gritty club energy and late‑night dancefloor euphoria. Drawing on a background rooted in R&B, disco, and global house DNA, his sets often mix soulful grooves with weighty drops — the kind that make you move as much by feel as rhythm. Always love to see him on any lineup!
