LINE UP
DJ Diaki
Nyege Nyege legend DJ Diaki’s hard thumping live electro balani show is the quintessential African rave sound, the one that can wake even the dead, drawing comparisons to shangaan, singeli and acholitronix as well as drum n bass and footwork. DJ Diaki’s style of balani show is a live performance on laptop, mic and drum machines. With influences of coupe decale and soukous, Diaki delivers an atomic blend of traditional balani electrified with all the West African candence! Diaki has perfected his craft over the last 30 years, and risen to fame after his Boiler room set at Nyege Nyege festival 2019 where legendary DJ-and WORM friend – DJ Marcelle called him “The discovery of the Century”.

Shaun D
Shaun D, born and raised in The Hague, was introduced to the vibrant world of bubbling at a young age, thanks to his Caribbean mother and Dutch father. Shaun started making bubbling tracks with a group of friends using MadTracker and FastTracker. These mixes were shared across platforms like Hyves, PP2G, Fiestainfo, YouTube, and MSN Messenger, gaining notable attention in an era before smartphones and social media dominated. This was a time when going viral was almost unheard of—you wouldn’t even know if your work had gone viral. Yet Shaun’s music organically spread, capturing the energy and imagination of listeners across the Netherlands. Inspired by Chuckie and nAffie, Shaun D took bubbling to the next level by blending it with house music, a bold innovation that resonated deeply with the youth at bubbling parties. Through this fusion, Shaun D also gave birth to the name "Bubbling House," cementing his role as a pioneer in the scene.
