ABOUT POLO LILLI

POLO LILLI appeared as if from nowhere in 2019, and since then, his music has become a staple of fast, fun and euphoric DJ sets all over the world.

More recently, POLO has released music on Hooversound Recordings, Hardcore Energy, Super Sonic Booty Bangers, All The People and Trax Haven. After contributing to Boiler Room’s Hard Dance series, POLO’s edit of 138 Trek was officially signed by DJ Zinc, and was named one of the best tracks of the year in 2023 by Mixmag. Known for his electrifying DJ sets, utilising hip-hop and open format mixing techniques to span a huge range of styles within a single set, POLO has performed to crowds of thousands at festivals including Boomtown, Outlook and Bangface, and headlined multiple International shows including two tours of India.

ABOUT HANKA

HANKA has invaded planet earth on a mission to re-inject the dance with fun vibes and upset Music Enjoyers™ everywhere, armed with stacks of multi-genre Breakbeat nonsense, badmxn Jungle, pull-ya-pants-down bootlegs an endless supply of miscellaneous subversion heaters and loads of them weird 6G flavoured 3-D glasses that make you see sound.

Hanka (which is their actual name - they panicked) started their DJing trollercoaster journey in August 2022. No fucking about, their first booking was Bang Face Weekender 2023, and they have since caused trouble at Balter, Boomtown, and underground raves in San Francisco to name a few. With track selections often driven by the ADHD musical equivalent of ‘ooh, shiny!’ that cannot be contained by a single genre, Hanka’s sets have been described as ‘a fidget toy for your brain’.
