EDM festival launches

Nominated for Best Single and Best Video for Rockabye in the 2017 Brit Awards, dance and classical fusologists Clean Bandit headline a new Dubai festival this month. Solis DXB, which promises to combine “some of the best live music and EDM” into a one-day event, will take place on the sand at Nasimi Beach.

With their new album due this year, UK band Clean Bandit are enjoying monumental success at the moment. Rockabye, featuring Sean Paul and Anne-Marie, soared to the top of the UK charts where it stayed for nine weeks, bagging the band a Christmas No 1 in the process.

Having chalked up 4.9 million listeners on Spotify in 2016, German DJ and producer Wankelmut represents the EDM fraternity. Get your ears around his remix of Asaf Avdan’s One Day for a taste of what to expect. February 10
