Insomniac Events is shining a light on rising underground artists to showcase their talents at EDC Orlando 2023.

For its twelfth consecutive year, EDC Orlando will be making its triumph return to Tinker Field. Insomniac Events has brought an interesting round-up of underground house and techno artists. 

Here is Exron’s take on the artists you must put on your priority lists if you want to discover an array of different sounds inclusive to those who like to get outside their comfort zone.

Thunderpony

Starting strong, Miami is coming in hot to EDC Orlando with Club Space Miami’s DJ Resident, Ricardo Mogollon, better known by his stage name Thunderpony. The Colombian-born, Miami-bred DJ has an exclusive sound that infuses elements of disco, electro, house, and funk & soul. You never know where the night will take you riding a Thunderpony set. 

JOYRYDE

English DJ and producer, Jon Ford has wrapped up his life of producing music since he was just nine years old. Since 2015, JOYRYDE came to life to bring his audience a bass-heavy influence to house music with an influence of psychedelic trance.

MODAPIT

Despite just popping into the scene, Modapit has gained a cult following with their mysterious identity only adding to his allure. This set is sure to remind you (and your knees) that the power of music at EDC Orlando can bring you the energy you thought you did not have.

Franky Wah

Franky Wah will captivate your soul beyond measure with his eclectic style of trance and house. His influence of techno and breakbeat will keep your body flowing and grooving under the EDC stars, while simultaneously evoking the emotions needed to be released through the magic of dancing.

Miguelle & Tons

Once again, Club Space Miami is coming in hot and heavy for EDC Orlando. Miguelle & Tons have quickly climbed up in the scene with their resident debut at Club Space Miami. Their Spanish influence on house music is designed to have the crowd dancing, shaking, jumping, and singing their hearts out.

ben Sterling

Ben Sterling has been climbing up as one of the scene’s most-in-demand rising names. There’s no going back once you feel the rhythm of his sexy bass crawling up to your hips and back out of your heart. 

CHELINA Manhutu

Amstredam-born, Ibiza-based producer DJ Chelina Manuhutu is one of the most exciting names in the underground music scene right now. Chelina’s opulent, robust, and exotic feminine force is what keeps her music alive on the dancefloor. There is no doubt that this set will keep you dancing from beginning to finish (with Shazam working overtime) at EDC Orlando.

Azzecca

Azzecca has a special gift for bringing the darker sides of house and techno onto the dancefloor with her enigmatic force. The Chicago-based artist has a distinctive style when it comes to commanding the dancefloor with her eclectic library of house and techno. Get ready to lose your mind, and feel sexy while doing it.

Tini Gessler

Spanish-bred artist Tini Gessler brings a high-energy, groovy house sound that is unmatched in the underground music scene. Following her touring success at Elrow’s resident DJ, Gessler’s immersive set is a must-see at EDC Orlando.

Chris Stussy

Label boss Chris Stussy has a “cloud 9” essence that will transport you into a different dimension under the EDC Orlando stars. Stussy has a long-standing love and understanding of jazz, disco, and Chicago style that feeds into his unique sound.
