As anticipation builds for its return to paradise, Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) today unveils its Phase Two lineup for the 2025 edition, adding another wave of global heavyweights and cutting-edge talent to its most breathtaking festival experience yet. Following the landmark Phase One reveal – featuring Calvin Harris, Charlotte de Witte, Fisher, Skrillex, Steve Angello, and HUGEL – #DWP2025 continues to expand its vision of music, art, and connection on the Island of the Gods.

Each December, the festival transforms GWK Cultural Park – one of Bali’s most iconic and spiritually charged locations – into a living, breathing celebration of sound and unity. Nestled among towering limestone cliffs and presided over by the colossal Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, the venue offers a panoramic vista of ocean and sky that shifts from golden sunset to starlit wonder as music fills the night air. The setting is more than a backdrop; it’s an integral part of the experience where ancient Balinese heritage meets the cutting edge of global electronic music culture. Surrounded by nature, energy, and artistry, DWP at GWK has become a place of pilgrimage for dance music fans from around the world, blending spectacle with spirituality in a way only Bali can.

PHASE TWO LINEUP

Leading the Phase Two announcement is Sammy Virji, one of the UK’s most electrifying electronic talents. A trailblazer of the modern UK garage movement, Virji’s infectious energy and masterful production have made him a global sensation. His DWP debut will be a landmark headline moment, lighting up the Bali night with pure euphoria.

From France, Space 92 brings his signature fusion of driving techno and melodic depth to the GWK mainstage. With countless Beatport chart-toppers and a reputation for high-impact performances across Europe, Space 92’s set will be an immersive journey into the heart of modern techno.

Australia’s Odd Mob, one of the most talked-about names in dance music, also makes his Bali debut with a genre-bending performance that defies convention. Known for viral anthems like LEFT TO RIGHT and his fearless approach to mixing house, bass, and breaks, Odd Mob is set to deliver one of the festival’s most explosive moments.

From Switzerland, Gil Glaze adds his sleek and uplifting sound to the lineup. A master of crossover house and melodic grooves who has graced stages from Miami to Mykonos, his performance at DWP will bring sophistication and warmth to the Bali mainstage.

Also joining the international roster, Romanian duo Lukas & Frank will deliver a standout performance that blurs the line between live and electronic. Incorporating live saxophone and cello within their Afro and melodic house sets, the pair’s unique blend of rhythm and musicianship promises a soulful and unforgettable experience beneath the Bali stars.

REGIONAL SPOTLIGHT: CELEBRATING ASIA’S RISING TALENT

A cornerstone of DWP’s philosophy has always been to provide a global platform for regional and local talent; celebrating the creativity, diversity and innovation of Asia’s thriving electronic scene.

Representing Southeast Asia, FVDER from Singapore brings his forward-thinking blend of house and bass music to the festival, delivering a set that bridges underground edge and mainstage energy.

From Indonesia, LTN returns with his globally recognized trance and progressive sound. Known for his emotive productions and dynamic stage presence, his performance will capture the passion and depth of the region’s melodic movement.

Also from Indonesia, XYRA makes his long-awaited DWP debut, showcasing his rise as one of the country’s most exciting new voices in electronic music. His performance embodies DWP’s mission to spotlight homegrown artists with international potential.

Vietnamese DJ and producer Sphinix brings his raw textures and edgy sophistication to DWP for the first time, adding cultural depth and a distinctive sonic identity that continues to define Vietnam’s evolving dance landscape.

Closing out the Phase Two announcement with a powerful collaboration, Japan’s YAKSA and TJO unite for an exclusive back-to-back where they’ll perform a special 2000-2025 party anthem set, merging high-intensity styles and raw energy.

FINAL WINNERS REVEALED AT THE DJ AWARDS ICONIC IBIZA CEREMONY

The DJ Awards 2025 lit up ROTO Club in Ibiza Town with a suitably spectacular and proudly independent ceremony celebrating the very best in electronic music culture. The night was full of special, end of season, energy and the winners of this year’s publicly voted genre-specific awards were officially unveiled to represent the voices of true fans all around the world.

This year’s ceremony marked the 24th edition of the DJ Awards and continued its mission as an independent, authentic and globally inclusive celebration of electronic music. With support from partners including YouTube, Skiddle and Suntory at the intimate and edgy ROTO Club, the awards brought together leading artists, industry figures and fans for a night to remember.

The winners reflect the diversity of today’s dance music scene, from genre pioneers to fresh voices redefining the sounds of now. The inclusion of newly launched categories like Balearic and Hard Dance/Bounce shows the DJ Awards’ ongoing evolution in celebrating emerging movements and communities.

This year’s ceremony was also a night of giving back. In response to the devastating floods in Ibiza, the DJ Awards announced that a portion of the event’s proceeds have been donated to the Spanish Red Cross (Creu Roja) to support recovery and aid efforts on the island.

Since its founding in 1998, the DJ Awards has been the longest-running international celebration of DJ culture, and it remains proudly independent. In its second year since relaunching, the 2025 edition proved once again that recognition in dance music doesn’t need to be bought. It should be earned, respected and celebrated by the community, and once again the DJ Awards 2025 closed out the Ibiza season in style.

Andy Grant, DJ Awards owner, says “It’s been incredible to see the DJ Awards come together once again for a second year since returning. This ceremony truly celebrates the heart of our culture, the artists who have inspired dance floors all around the world, and those in the industry who come together to make it all happen. What makes it even more special is that these accolades come directly from the public’s independent votes, honouring the DJs who’ve genuinely moved the people and dance floors this year.”
