DEKMANTEL ANNOUNCES 18 ADDITIONAL ACTS FOR ITS RADAR STAGE
Dekmantel just dropped 18 new names for its Radar stage, and things are shaping up nicely for this year’s edition. Returning for its third year, the Radar arena has quickly become one of the festival’s most essential stages, and once again, the full three-day program will be broadcast live from the Amsterdamse Bos from August 1 to 3.
Among the new additions: Raptor House pioneer DJ Babatr, the ever-electrifying Eris Drew, Japanese techno legend DJ Nobu, and Quest, known for digging deep into the vinyl crates. There are also live sets from Shed and Om Unit — the latter presenting a special version of Acid Dub Studies, which, if you know, you know. They’ll be joining previously announced acts like Djrum, Fadi Mohem, and JakoJako.
This year’s Radar line-up reads like a snapshot of electronic music in motion: new voices, underground staples, and genre-spanning performances that don’t necessarily fit neatly into one box. Exactly what you’d hope for from a stage that feels more like a curated conversation than a festival slot.
With an approach like this, it comes as a no surprise that Dekmantel 2025 is already looking stacked. Across the full program, names like Jeff Mills, Four Tet, and Avalon Emerson sit alongside festival debuts from Richie Hawtin and Honey Dijon. Floating Points is also back, this time reimagining the Greenhouse stage as Sunflower Sound through a custom hi-fi experience.
