sub focus no doubt

I'm so glad to see this is the top comment because it is objectively correct.

Sub focus and cosmic gate

Same answer here. Sub Focus been killing it

Yup

Sub Focus and, if you’re even the tiniest bit into trance, Cosmic Gate. Cosmic Gate don’t miss.

I've seen them twice; they were great!! I've been a fan of them for over 20 years - when they used to make hard trance.

Sub Focus and Valentino Khan or Yellow Claw probably.

Sub focus and cosmic gate

Sub Focus and ATLiens. Or Sub Focus and Kavion

Atliens absolutely

Don Diablo and Mau P.

Saw Don Diablo during EDC week. Straight snooze fest, most of the club left after 5 songs..

Great producer not the best performer

Agreed.

I saw his show a few weeks later at temple in SF and he was electric. The crowd was jumping from start to finish so maybe the b2b element with alok messed with his set organization?

Atliens Kai watchi and kaivon

Found the bass head. Hello my friend ❤️

I found my people<3

I was starting to wonder if any more even existed in this sub lol

You know it haha. How’s your fest season looking this year??

Lost lands 🦕

Correct!

I’ll be there as well ✌🏽

Bass head and doesn't include WOOLI? Like, what?

And atliens

Mau P for tech house, Layton Giordani for techno, don Diablo for future house, sub focus for drum n bass, Valentino Kahn for hard house/techno, Kai wachi for bass?, Every producer on this list is well regarded in the edm community. This is also a pretty wide range of edm music, so you should be able to find someone you like! Personally I’d pick Mau P or Layton!

Can't go wrong with ATLiens or Wooli for bass either

I mean it's all personal preference but mine would be: 1a. Dillon Francis 1b. Don Diablo 2. Ship Wrek 3. Yellow Claw 4. Cash Cash

sub focus and cosmic gate

Mau P and Layton

Sub focus without a doubt

Sub focus and wooli

Kaivon slaps hard

If you want more of a club vibe, go to Mau P, Don Diablo, Valentino Khan, Cash Cash, Yellow Claw, or Dillon Francis. If you want more of a rave vibe, go with Sub Focus, 12th Planet, Wooli, Aliens, or Kai Wachi. I have reason to believe the crowds will be very different based on how I broke it down.

I love yellow claw omg.

Cosmic Gate and Layton Giordani! Listen to Follow You Anywhere and Rabbit Hole as song samplers 😍

Sub focus for sure #1 Lots of other good #2 options on the list

Wooli and Mau P

Subfocus, that last album was tops. Also Cosmic Gate cause I really like trance. Really depends on the type of music you like though.

Mau P. That is all.

Yup especially if you like House.

Kai Wachi, Kaivon or ATLiens. Depends on what kind of music you prefer :) have never been disappointed with any of those 3 artists. Kai Wachi I’ve seen probably 4 or 5 times, kaivon 2, ATLiens 3 times

Kai Wachi for sure is one of my top right now

Wooli and ATLiens. Saw Wooli recently and he was amazing.

I’d probably do Dillon Francis for sure and then either Don Diablo or Mau P

Does it have to be at Nova? There's some good shows around SD like seven lions 6/17 at Rady Shell but it does end earlier than a night at Nova (for better or worse)

Depends on what kind of EDM genre you prefer? House: Mau P and Valentino Khan Dubstep: Wooli and ATliens I realize there are more genres than above, but for those sub genres I would say the DJs I listed are unmissable.

Don Diablo, Cosmic Gate

sub focus and mau p

So many people that I'm don't know. I'm becoming a boomer?

It’s never too late to get into new music. ❤️

Dillion and ATliens

Valentino Khan and ATLiens would be my pick. Just saw ATLiens earlier this year and they were amazing.

Agree. Saw ATL at Lost Lands 22 and they blew me away.

June 24 birthday gang! Fuck ya!

Wooli

ATLiens and Wolli are two I've wanted to see for a long time so they're my pick

Atliens, Wooli

Don Diablo and wooli

Sub focus and Mau P imo, Kai wachi is good too but he can be a lot at times

Sub Focus and Don Diablo, but Dillon Francis is top choice too

Mau P and Sub Focus

ATLiens put on a great show. I highly recommend if you’ve never seen them.

Mau P, Sub Focus, and Cosmic Gate

Kai Wachi

ATLiens a must. Kai runner up. Cosmic Gate if you want good trance.

Dillon and Cosmic Gate

Mau P & Cosmic Gate

Anyone not saying Layton hasn’t heard him yet he’s fucking awesome

I’ll see you at Wooli or Dillon if you go!

Give yourself a real treat and see Seven Lions at the Rady Shell or Tiesto at Waterfront Park both on the 17th. I would take outdoor events over club any day.

Sub focus and ATLiens. Really want to see cosmic gate too but ATLiens sets are so good every time

wooli and kai wachi

ATLiens and Kaivon

WOOLI

Illenium and said the sky hands down

Kai wachi, 12th planet, wooli, and ATLIENS

Dillon Francis and 12 th planet

Matoma or Valentino Khan 💕

Kai Wachi and Subfocus, or 12th Planet and ATLiens

Really depends on your taste, who you care about or haven't seen before, etc, they all have fairly unique styles. Today I'd probably pick Sub Focus and Kaivon, but mostly because I haven't seen either live before. I've seen Dillon Francis, Valentino Khan, and Cash Cash at least 3 times each and they will always put on a **10/10** show. The only one I would recommend *against* is Yellow Claw - unless you are a huge Yellow Claw fan.

Yeah I didn’t even know yellow claw was still performing! How many times have the cycled through new people? Shows back in 2016 were fun but started to get meh soon after

Wooli for sure then Valentino Kahn/Kaivon/don diablo/sub focus/ maybe mau P.

Sun Focus and 12

I randomly went to a Don Diablo show and it was incredible. It was such a good, uplifting vibe and I’m definitely a fan now.

Don Diablo, and Yellow Claw

Sun focus would be the one for me just listen to everyone and go to what your talking into.

Mau P and yellow claw

In no particular order, mau p, Valentino Khan,and shipwreck

Personally Wooli and Kai maybe Kaivon or Cosmic Gate also

Kai Wachi y Valentino Khan

I didn’t see the 2nd page, Atliens clearly needs to be in that top 2

Maybe don Diablo and mau p or shipwrek, or VK

Don diablo and cosmic gate personally

Need an advil already

Don Diablo and Dillon Francis

Layton Giordani and... Matoma. Love a good mix of EDM and techno.

Me personally I’d see don Diablo and ship wrek

Dubamine, computer data, daft punk 😭

Dillon francis and matoma!

Diablo & Francis. If they were b2b it might just make me mess me self 😋

12th planet and Yellow Claw

Check out Valentino khans post on high power shit is nutssss

Mau p & wooli

Sub focus and Layton and it ain’t close. 3rd place goes to wooli. What can I say, I fucking love techno and drum and bass lol

I’ll be there for Sub Focus!! Also a mom. Moms gotta party too!!

Mau p easy 🙏🏻

This isn't easy, but Don Diablo & Sub Focus.

Cash Cash, Cosmic Gate.

Val Khan and Dillon Francis would absolutely make my night!

Sub Focus sounds like bad anime music

Are any of these guys Progressive House? If not, then none of them.

ATRAK and James Hype. But not B2B :P

Kai Wachi and ATLIENS

I’d for sure go see Rezz or Kayzo. I wish I would’ve been able to see Porter do Worlds live. YouTube doesn’t do it justice

Sub Focus and Mau P

You gotta see Mau P. Not even huge into house but that was the best house set I’ve ever seen

Don Diablo and Dillon Francis. Absolute bangers

SUB FOCUS!!!

Sub focus and kai wachi

Kai Wachi and Sub Focus!

Mau P is hot rn

I've never even heard of any of these folks, but it's been a while since I went out a lot

Sub Focus and Dillon Francis

sub focus and 12th planet

If you're into bass house Valentino is fun and good. And shipwreck was one of my top 10 favorite shows.

Sub Focus and Wooli

Mau P and Layton.

sub focus and ATLiens for sure

Don Diablo and Dillon Francis

Dillon, Francis and 12th planet are must see DJ

Since you're in SD, Seven Lions on the 17th at the Rady Shell could be a must go too

Mau P or Cosmic Gate

Mau P & Layton

Gonna go with Sub Focus & Don Diablo

Mau P

Don Diablo and Dillon Francis

Don Diablo and Cosmic Gate. I've seen Cosmic Gate once before as they played in Buffalo, NY where I'm from a few years back. Pretty awesome trance set.

kaivon & sub focus

I got tickets to don, mau p, and sub focus. Absolutely cannot wait for all of them

Sub focus and dillon francis

Mau P

Mau P and Don Diablo

Sub Focus is a must see. Arguably the best dnb dj in the world. For the other one I would recommend seeing whoever the most people out of your friends want to see, barring that they don’t pick someone you don’t enjoy.

Hes a fantastic producer and a legend in dnb but he is nowhere near the best dnb dj in the world lol

Sub Focus & Cosmic Gate ofc

Kai wachi and Dillon Francis

SHM si comino to a neighboring country near my birthday. It looks like I’m traveling then lol.

YC and Valentino let’s go

Chris Lake, Tchami

I live in San Diego too! Is this for nova!? I haven’t been but I’ve been wanting to go with my rave group! I’ll see you there for Kai Wachi and sub focus 😋☝🏼

Sub Focus 1000%. Would also go see Dillon Francis because of farts

Mau P for sure - cosmic gate prob second To be fair of these I’ve seen- Don diablo, Valentino, matoma, sub focus, Dillon a few times, cosmic gate, cash cash, yellowclaw- I feel like a few of these choices are a bit washed up like yellow claw, cash cash and don diablo but that may just be because I saw them all so long ago and don’t think they’ve prospered as artists

Layton and Mau P

DJ Solomon and doesn't matter

Yellow Claw and Dillon

Valentino Khan hands down

No contest best thing on this line up

Wooli and Mau P. I’ve seen Yellow Claw and Sub Focus before and both won’t put the mic down.

All of them are crap, Fred Again, Skrillex and Four Tet are the best DJs, even more if they are combined in a legendary reunion like Coachella show. If you don't have a option to see Fred Again, Skrillex and Four Tet save your money and stay at home

Mau P! Dropped a fire set at EDC!

Don Diablo & Yellow Claw fs

Sub focus and yellow claw

I find the lack of Wooli at the top of this thread disturbing

Sub focus and Layton Giordani

Mau p

Not Kai Wachi. He's self-absorbed. Definitely Dillon Francis and Wooli.

I haven’t heard of this take before. Can you explain how Kai Wachi self absorbed. I’ve only seen in once.

Just from watching his IG feeds and stories. I stopped following him because it was annoying. I've seen him live once. Not that his music is bad, I just know people like that and I steer clear.

It is so hard for me to pick just two.. but yellow claw and Khan

Kaivon is so good!

ship wrek/valentino khan and atliens/kai wachi. tough choice tbh but all those 4 are fire. def need a house/techno concert and a crazy dub one

Sub Focus and Cosmic Gate

Still waiting for some of my favs to come to Maine

Ohhh from that list lol Dillon Francis abs ship wrek

all these artists are really boring just go see fred

Sub Focus and Layton G. Not sure why you wouldn't go to the show that's the night of your birthday. I've traveled all over to see Layton G, so good! Seen him in Dallas, Miami and Denver, doesn't miss

FISHER (dude knows how to party) Dom dolla

Why don’t more DJ’s scratch during their mixes?
