The 2024 Coachella lineup boasts a variety of dance music headliners, including Justice, Everything Always (comprising John Summit and Dom Dolla), Anyma, Bicep, and more. Still, Coachella’s small but mighty Yuma Tent tends to generate some of the major festival’s best programming, and even some of it most memorable moments. Presented and hosted by Framework, the 2024 Yuma bill exemplifies a stellar cast of in-demand DJ talent. Gorgon City, ANOTR, Kevin de Vries, and Reiner Zonneveld, in addition to a plethora of scene shaping acts, will tend decks in the confined dance space this month. Fans of deep house, melodic techno, and progressive dance music can fulfill their four-on-the-floor fantasies in the Yuma Tent all weekend long. Dancing Astronaut has compiled a list of certain can’t miss acts in the Yuma tent this year—read them below.
Adam Ten and Mita Gami
Prepare for a groovy journey as Adam Ten and Mita Gami take the stage for a back-to-back DJ set. Drawing from Adam Ten’s early influences in industrial and new wave music, the joint set promises a fusion of dark, atmospheric house while also pulling from Mita Gami’s emotive and melodic soundscapes. Both named Dancing Astronaut Artists to Watch in 2024, the DJ pair will endure a monumental moment for Israeli-born artists at Coachella 2024. Last year, Ten and Gami’s infectious remix of Parallelle and Nicolas Masseyeff‘s “Renegade” proved to be one of Ibiza’s most popular tracks of 2023.
Kevin de Vries and Kölsch
Get ready for an unforgettable Coachella moment as 2023 Dancing Astronaut Artist To Watch Kevin de Vries, alongside German tastemaker Kölsch, join forces for another back-to-back set. Kevin de Vries has quickly become one of Afterlife‘s most notable artists, boasting hits “Dance With Me”, “Metro”, and “Tokyo Nights”. His experimentation with varying sub-genres, inspired by Berlin’s underground music scene, has allowed de Vries to carve out a globally resonant niche, one between the sonic themes of both Afterlife and Drumcode. Kölsch’s emotive melodies and storytelling will evoke a dynamic and emotionally resonant joint performance. The duo previously collaborated on Gate/Masterplan EP, streaming via Kölsch’s Ipso recording imprint.
Adriatique
Swiss duo Adriatique are no strangers to the global electronic music scene, and their Coachella performance should be nothing short of spectacular. Drawing inspiration from Switzerland’s beautiful landscapes, the outfit’s repertoire evokes grandeur and raw emotion, distinguished by tatsefully intricate melodic rhythms. Adriatique has become a household name in dance music, credited to their unique transfusion of melodic techno and deep house. Their co-founded X imprint has gained traction as a noteworthy audio-visual production that cannot be missed. And while their Yuma tent performance will be less focused on the visuals, Adriatique remains a must see act. Stream recent hit “Miracle” below.
ARTBAT
Ukrainian duo ARTBAT have made waves in the electronic music world for years. Known for pulsating bass lines and hypnotic rhythms that capture the spirit of underground dance culture, ARTBAT has crafted their own sonic lane somewhere between future rave and melodic techno. In expanding from the underground scene, ARTBAT’s collaborations with John Martin, David Guetta, and Armin Van Buuren have cemented their status as Coachella-worthy talent. ARTBAT’s Yuma Tent performance will likely occur toward the end of the festival, an ideal way for dance music fans to close out the weekend.
Miss Monique
Last but not least, Ukrainian DJ and producer Miss Monique should not be overlooked this year. Quickly rising to global prominence, Miss Monique has gained immense popularity with her YouTube DJ sets in picturesque locations. Now an esteemed producer with her Siona record label, Miss Monique continues to provide high energy DJ sets backed by a growing original catalog. Filling her tracklists with a mix of melodic techno, progressive house, and tech-house, the Ukrainian DJ will take the crowd on a journey led by these diverse soundscapes. Boasting releases on Tomorrowland Music, Cercle Records, and Armada, Miss Monique maintains an ever growing fanbase across the many sectors of dance music.
