Glittered with international artists day one features the Ukrainian pairing of Artbat and the Grammy nominated dynamic duo Camelphat. Paul Kalkbrenner will be unleashing his very own live production alongside the signature progressive sounds of Finnish artist Yotto.

For those who prefer more euphoric-induced sounds, John Hopkins is also set to perform. Rounding off the phase 1 lineup for Saturday is Detroit kingpin; Jeff Mills.
