There’s no denying that this year’s lineup for Elements Festival 2025 boasts some of the biggest names in house, techno, and bass music. But one of the things we love the most about lineups like this is the brilliance of the undercard.
While names like Tipper, Pretty Lights, and deadmau5 are all can’t-miss headliners, below are the undercard acts that every fan should make an effort to see.
Ace On Earth
Fresh from dropping his latest dubstep single “Daybreak” on Psychocybin Recordings this past January, Ace On Earth blends mind‑expanding bass with the calm of a meditation guru—an uncanny mix of aggressive wub and inner peace. His 2024 “777” EP showcased fractured halftime rhythms and ambient interludes, and he followed it with a slew of singles released over the course of the last few months—the perfect prelude to his midday Water Stage headlining set.
Ahee
Ahee’s latest track, a collaboration with Liquid Stranger titled “Space Whip”, dropped just last month, and already it’s circling bass playlists everywhere. He’s become known for turning humble festival stages into neon shock chambers, where the bass doesn’t build—it detonates. His late-evening set promises hybrid trap vengeance—dark, precise, and electrifying.
Fresh off a Vital Signs remix collection, Maddy O’Neal will bring Colorado‑style soul-hop to the Earth Stage on Friday afternoon. She most recently lit up Coconino Campout, warming her up for Elements, where she will showcase her groove-inflected flare to open the weekend right. We firmly believe that her expertly curated sets push standard DJ energy into visceral live funk territory.
Mikayli
Brooklyn’s Mikayli is a rising force in experimental bass, fusing grime, halftime, and glitch hop into raw, genre-bending sets. With his recent remix of mythm & Rakjay’s “Rough” on Deadbeats and alongside the 2025 Ushi BopEP, he’s carving a lane that’s both cerebral and heavy. Check out his 2024 Infrasound set below for a sample of his surgical mixing and unpredictable drops. Catch him Saturday on the Water Stage—this one’s for the deep bass heads.
Michal Menert
Current member of the Pretty LightsLive band, Michal Menert, is a veteran producer to say the least. Beloved fans of his are constantly raving about his live arrangements, which mix live instruments with off-kilter electronic edits. Definitely try to make it out for his set on Sunday at the Earth Stage, where he will be channeling vinyl warmth and instrumental improvisation into a one-of-a-kind performance.
OkayJake B2B STVSH
Opening the festival with a Thursday night hybrid bass assault—STVSH’s glitch will meet OkayJake’s aggressive bass antics for an incredibly unique B2B performance. Their debut back‑to‑back at Hulaween last October set a new bar for early-week tornadoes on the dance floor. Catch them early, and you’ll see the show that many consider the true “ignition switch” for the entire weekend’s energy.
Equipped with a wide discography that features a haunting blend of indie electronica and pastoral soul, Villager will take the Air Stage on Saturday for a set that is sure to be filled with surprises. His sets feel like mystical folk tales turned into head‑nod velvet, with early listeners saying he’s created a whole new flavor of emotional electronica. If you’re looking for music that blends acoustic instrumentation and glitchy spatial production in an unsettlingly beautiful mix, this is a can’t-miss act.
Wax Motif
A house music stalwart with recent club banger “Push Up,” Wax Motif walks the Air Stage on Friday with disco-inflected basslines and smile-fueled jams. His set is guaranteed hip motion and moral compass spin. His live energy often turns the crowd into a congregation— so expect celebratory dancefloor vibes driven by groove rather than guest appearances.
These artists don’t just play—they materialize on stage, each a distinct alchemical formula. Whether you find yourself dancing in Fire’s heat, drifting through Water’s waves, wandering Air’s suspended dreamhouses, or planted at the forested Earth Stage, this is your guide to 8 of our most anticipated acts for Elements Festival 2025.
