Kicking off Teksupport’s summer season, the daytime show will take place at a TBA new outdoor location offering full views of the NYC skyline.

Pushing the boundaries of traditional nightlife, Teksupport has been the driving force behind some of the most important collisions of club culture, high fashion and technology in recent years.

UK maestro Bonobo returns after his phenomenal, viral Boiler Room set at DGTL ’23, looking to deliver more of the same dance floor-destroying moments. Long-time friend of DGTL and one of the world’s most revered electronic artists, DJ Koze is back and looking to take things up a gear; and riding high on the critical acclaim of her stunning debut album MADRES, Sofia Kourtesis promises to provide one of the must-see sets of DGTL Amsterdam 2024.

Add to the mix hotly anticipated DJ sets from Maribou State and Coco Coquelicot and it’s one hell of an opening night from the DGTL powers-that-be.

DGTL Amsterdam 2024

Saturday’s DGTL lineup is unsurprisingly stacked to the rafters with a blistering array of talent, with lovers of all things electronica absolutely spoilt for choice. Now cemented as one of techno’s brightest stars, Ki/Ki returns to deliver a headline set that fans of the harder sounds won’t want to miss.

Âme & Dixon come together for a very rare B2B set, ARTBAT are back to follow up on their massive 2022 DGTL showcase, Brazilian star Valentina Luz is in the house with her furious selection of house, techno and funk, and one of the most hotly anticipated sets of the whole festival, Dutch melodic mastermind Mees Salomé will perform his first ever live show.

Boiler Room, which now moves inside the vast halls of the NDSM Warehouse, hosts legendary vinyl-only powerhouse Freddy K (who also goes b2b with Blawan), and furious bass moves courtesy of Femme Bass Mafia don DJ Fuckoff.

Sunday, and the energy at NDSM Docklands gets turned up to 11. One of the hottest artists on the planet right now, Marlon Hoffstadt aka DJ Daddy Trance touches down to officially cancel Sunday as a day of rest. WhoMadeWho, who headlined DGTL USA 2023, bring their live show to DGTL’s flagship event, as do DGTL ADE 2022 alumni Worakls Band, and Patrick Mason, who killed it back at ADE 2023.

From South Africa, Amapiano trailblazers Major League Djz look set to bring some serious heat to proceedings, while closer to home, Dutch man-of-the-moment Chris Stussy is on hand to bring DGTL crowds to their feet for a final crescendo of all things house.

On the Boiler Room stage, DGTL Records mainstay Coloray makes his Boiler Room debut, LSDXOXO delivers his first Boiler Room set in five years, while Boys Noize celebrates two decades at the helm of global dance music. Additionally, the iconic Boiler Room stage will be making a return, but this year it’s moving inside, away from the slope outside like last year.

Sinego unveils his latest track ‘Historia De Un Amor’ on CORE Records

CORE Records is thrilled to unveil ‘Historia De Un Amor’ by the talented Sinego, inspired by the cinematic worlds of Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and the adventurous spirit of Anthony Bourdain.

This track is not just a call to the dancefloor; it aims to stir the soul and ignite the imagination, encouraging listeners to visualize themselves riding a horse across the vast expanses of Sonora, Mexico.

Each beat and rhythm in the track is imbued with the spirit of adventure, mystery, and passion, drawn from movies like ‘Kill Bill’, ‘No Reservations’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’. ‘Historia De Un Amor‘ is the first single of the eagerly awaited ‘CORE VA: Tulum 24′ EP, set to release on February 2.

Sinego – Historia De Un Amor

Sinego, a Mexican-Colombian artist, has garnered acclaim for his innovative blend of Latin American traditions with modern electronic sounds. His 2023 album ‘Alterego‘ was a tour de force in this regard, weaving local folk genres with house and techno rhythms.

In ‘Historia De Un Amor‘, Sinego offers a fresh take on the Bolero genre and an old Panamanian love story. Characterized by its intricate lyrics and romantic themes, Bolero has been revered as the quintessential romantic Latin American song genre of the twentieth century.

‘Historia De Un Amor‘ is a track that transcends boundaries, infused with the essence of harmony, love, and beauty – elements sometimes overlooked in contemporary electronic music. Sinego‘s vision for the track is a lush journey through the jungles of Tulum, evoking imagery of horses and the celebrated Charro culture of Mexico. This creation is not just a song; it’s a vivid narrative that pays homage to tradition while appealing to modern electronic music aficionados.

As Sinego continues to leave his mark on the world stage, ‘Historia De Un Amor‘ stands as a testament to his mastery in fusing the old with the new, creating a soundscape that is both deeply rooted and exploratory.

This release is an invitation to experience the romantic and devotional aspects of music, echoing through the heart of Latin America and beyond.

Listen to the track below.

CORE Records is a brand-new boutique record label and dedicated music division within Tomorrowland, founded in May 2023 and deeply rooted in the musical DNA of CORE Festival in Brussels as well as the iconic CORE stage at Tomorrowland, working in partnerships with Virgin Music/Universal Music Group.
