Interplanetary Criminal b2b Main Phase | Boiler Room Festival Berlin: SYSTEM
I was supposed to see Interplanetary Criminal live in Montreal a few weeks ago, but there was a tropical storm, and the power cut out. We all had to go home, which was a huge bummer. I’d been waiting for this one for months.
Thank God I have the Interplanetary Criminal b2b Main Phase set from Boiler Room 2024 to bide my time until they come to town again. It’s an absolute must-watch. This set is a seamless blend of old-school garage vibes with modern bass-heavy rhythms, creating a dancefloor frenzy that’s impossible to resist.

Hudson Mohawke b2b Nikki Nair | Boiler Room Festival Berlin: SYSTEM
I remember seeing Hudson Mohawke DJ-ing in Montreal with Lunice in the pre-TNGHT days. Yep, that’s how old I am. One thing I know about him—he likes to surround himself with creators who do dance music differently.
Hudson Mohawke and Nikki Nair’s back-to-back set is a sonic rollercoaster that pushes the boundaries of genre and sound. Known for their eclectic styles, the two EDM provocateurs take the audience on a wild ride through hard-hitting beats, glitchy synths, and unexpected drops that keep you on your toes.

In one of the most talked-about Boiler Room sets of 2024, Logic 1000, DJ Plead, and Big Ever join forces for an epic b2b2b session that’s as diverse as it is electrifying.
The trio brings together their distinct styles, weaving between deep, percussive rhythms, techno beats, and hypnotic grooves that keep the crowd moving from start to finish.

Charli XCX | Boiler Room & Charli XCX Presents: PARTYGIRL
The night Brat Summer was born.
It might seem like this happened a million years ago, but it actually took place in 2024. Back then, the Kamala campaign was just a glimmer in Biden’s eye.
Charli XCX’s Boiler Room set is also the source of many memes, including the one where Charli keeps “scratching” her nose (at least that’s how I explained it to my mom).
Charli XCX’s Boiler Room set is a bold and boundary-pushing performance that blends pop, hyperpop, and experimental electronic music into a high-octane experience. Known for her genre-defying approach to pop music, Charli XCX brings that same energy to her Boiler Room set, delivering a performance that’s as fierce as it is fun.

Boys Noize | Boiler Room x DGTL Amsterdam 2024
Not to make this all about me, but I saw Boys Noize at Piknic Électronik, and it nearly blew my toupee off my head. Something about those thundering drums, the edgy basslines, and the minimalist energy of his new stuff just really connects with me. He’s one of the few blog house-era artists who just got better with time.

Martyn Bootyspoon | Boiler Room: Montréal
I didn’t go to Montreal’s Boiler Room this year, but I heard it was cool. Too bad, I missed Montreal’s not-so-well-kept secret weapon, Martyn Bootyspoon. But that’s okay (I mean, I’ll get over it eventually) because I’ve seen him since, and he DJs every third party in Montreal.
His Boiler Room set is a funky, booty-shaking extravaganza that blends house and G-tech into a non-stop party.
Known for his playful approach to electronic music, Martyn’s set is full of infectious grooves, cheeky samples, and basslines that hit you right in the hips. He’s all about having fun and letting loose, with tracks that make you want to move and smile at the same time.
Martyn Bootyspoon’s ability to keep the energy high and the vibe light makes this one of the most enjoyable Boiler Room sets of the year.
DJ BORING b2b salute | Boiler Room x AVA Festival 2024
In the past year, anytime I needed some cool background music, I would listen to salute’s b2b set with Barry Can’t Swim. A euphoric journey into disco-infused tracks, augmented by a delicious swirl of chemistry between the two. The bromance is palpable.
I was pretty excited when I saw that salute would share the decks with DJ BORING at AVA… And I wasn’t disappointed! Their back-to-back Boiler Room set is a perfect blend of deep house, UK garage, and breaks, creating a dynamic and fluid journey through the sounds of the underground.
DJ BORING’s signature groove house vibes mesh perfectly with salute’s vibrant, bass-heavy tracks, resulting in a set that’s as varied as it is cohesive. The duo’s chemistry is evident as they seamlessly transition between tracks, keeping the energy levels high and the dancefloor packed.
This set is a great example of how two artists with different styles can come together to create something truly special.
