One of the biggest draws of this year’s event is the inclusion of several festival debuts, including performances from legendary acts like The Orb, Steevio & Suzybee, Sega Bodega, Two Shell, DJ K, and IDMT. Live performances from iconic artists such as British Murder Boys, Mark Ernestus, Polygonia, and Roza Terenzi will further elevate the festival’s immersive experience. Other live shows include Paranoid London, Ayesha, The Ragga Twins, Blawan, and Arsenal Mikebe & Valentina Magaletti.
Fans of unique back-to-back sets will also be in for a treat, with performances from Anz & Pearson Sound, Coki & Joker, Elena Colombi & Lena Willikens, Miss Kittin & DJ MELL G, and Spekki Webu & Woody92. These exciting pairings promise to push boundaries and showcase some of the most inventive talents in the scene.
In addition to the debuts and live shows, the festival will feature a stellar lineup of other top-tier artists, including Zip, CCL, Four Tet, Yaeji, Sugar Free, Ogazón, Skee Mask, Kia, Joe Claussell, Kampire, and Call Super. These names will add to the eclectic mix of sounds, making Dekmantel 2025 one of the most exciting and diverse festival lineups in recent memory.

The announcement follows the release of the first 20 artists on the bill, revealed on January 20th by Resident Advisor. Highlights from this initial list include Loidis, Erika de Casier, Avalon Emerson, Shanti Celeste, Leftfield, dBridge & Donato Dozzy, and Sasha & Young Marco. Blawan will also be performing live, alongside Steffi & Virginia.
Perhaps one of the most eagerly anticipated performances is Richie Hawtin’s DEX EFX X0X show, a modern reimagining of his 1999 classic mix album Decks, EFX & 909. This performance is sure to be a standout moment for fans of Hawtin’s pioneering approach to techno.
As if that wasn’t enough, Dekmantel 2025 will also feature exciting festival debuts from Honey Dijon, Djrum, and Objekt, who will perform their first-ever back-to-back. Floating Points and Palms Trax are set to play together for an all-day set, while The Sabres of Paradise—once composed of the late Andrew Weatherall, Jagz Kooner, and Gary Burns—will honor Weatherall’s legacy five years after his passing.
