Decibel Open Air announces 2023 lineup feat. Peggy Gou, Michael Bibi and many more!

Decibel Open Air is back in Florence from 9-10 September 2023, after the recently sold out Easter Edition and last year’s event gathering fifty thousand attendees, with thirty percent coming outside of Italy, the legendary electronic festival is revealing the first names of their incredible lineup.

Decibel Open Air 2023 offers one the best of the electronic music acts with Moderat (live), Paul Kalkbrenner (live), Peggy Gou, Michael Bibi, Amelie Lens, Salmo (live), Lazza (live), Boris Brejcha, Loco Dice B2b Jamie Jones, Camelphat, Meduza, I Hate Models, Folamour, WhoMadeWho, Nico Moreno, Trym, 999999999, Indira Paganotto, Charlie Sparks, Klangkuenstler, Anfisa Letyago, Adiel, Daria Kolosova, Raven, Amémé, Honey Luv, Brina Knauss, Luca Agnelli, Dov’è Liana, Pôngo, Mattia Trani, Speaking Mind and many others. A huge line up with best live and dj sets, an excellent mix of techno and house and other eclectic sounds.

Paul Kalkbrenner comes back to Decibel Open Air for the third time. Coming from the golden age of techno and turning twelve when the Berlin Wall fell, he spent his teenage years raving, before starting to DJ and collect records as electronic dance music’s first tidal wave spilled throughout the city. He realized early that DJing wasn’t for him, and has focused on producing and playing his own music live ever since.

Sitting somewhere between Detroit, London and Berlin in sound, Peggy Gou dj sets are an assured, kinetic combination of dark, pulsing house and techno, broken beats and abstract compositions.

Michael Bibi is a name that resonates with many. His sound and productions (Solid Grooves) are instantly recognizable: thanks to them he has soundtracked nights and events across the globe in Ibiza, London, New York, Buenos Aires and Tulum.

Decibel Open Air is going to be very much strengthened thanks to a huge line up and many novelties. Most of all, a new location: an area of over hundred thousand square meters, able to improve services and logistics. All the details will be revealed very soon.

Henri PFR is breaking the silence with his new track ‘Tiger Style’

Henri PFR is releasing his brand-new single ‘Tiger Style’! The young DJ & producer from Brussels has quickly become one of the hottest sensations in the Belgian dance scene, making a name for himself in recent years with several radio hits and the golden hit single ‘Until The End’. His new single ‘Tiger Style’ is the first result of his search for a defining sound and the beginning of a fresh start and collaboration with Tomorrowland.

Henri PFR started studying music theory from the age of 6 and took classical piano lessons for the next nine years. In 2017, he won 3 awards at the D6bels Music Awards, winning ‘Hit Of The Year’ for ‘Until The End‘, as well as the awards for Dance/Electro and Solo Man. The year after he again won ‘Hit Of The Year’ for his single ‘In The Mood‘. With more than 300 million streams on Spotify, 180.000 followers on Instagram and 65.000 on TikTok, Henri PFR has fans across the world.

And yet it has remained quiet lately around Henri Peiffer, as the DJ & producer’s real name goes. An artistic search for the right songs and a signature sound went through ups and downs. Working under the radar brought him piece and new creative ideas. ‘Tiger Style‘ is a danceable song with infectious beats and an energetic drop, combined with catchy vocals and guitar riffs, clearly made for the dancefloor.

Henri PFR – Tiger Style

Here’s what Henri PFR had to say about his new track:

“‘Tiger Style’ is a song that’s very close to my heart because the lyrics are very personal. I’ve had more ups and downs than I’d like in the past two years and sometimes there was a little dark voice in my head that held me back from enjoying things to the fullest.

‘Tiger Style’ is about the moment when you decide to take control of your destiny and live life to the fullest. To create and get things done, rather than hoping and watching what happens. For the sound I looked for a more modern touch of the hits I loved a few years ago, with a slightly melancholic touch. I’m very happy with the result and I think people can enjoy it at festivals as well as when working out or listening to it in the car.”

A second single will follow after the summer and in between he will also release a club track. With a lot of music in store and the support of One World Artists, Tomorrowland‘s management & booking agency, Henri PFR is ready to spread his wings again.

Henri PFR is known for his energetic performances and happy vibes, most recently at the Tomorrowland Winter Mainstage in Alpe d’Huez. In July, Henri will once again enter the iconic Mainstage of Tomorrowland for a legendary performance.

“In the same way the quieter moments on our albums have always been a major part of Above & Beyond, the bigger dancefloor moments have also been a hallmark of our sound,” says the trio.

The full 5-track EP, ‘Tranquility Base Vol. 1’, arrives May 25, and is available for pre-order now.

Above & Beyond will headline The Gorge Amphitheatre on July 21-23 for the biggest iteration yet of their Group Therapy Weekender festival, alongside label stars from Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep, and Reflections. Tickets are on sale now!
