DiBeat Summer 2025: Meet the Artists Soundtracking Our 18th Birthday

As DiBeat turns 18, we’re not just celebrating a milestone — we’re marking the beginning of a new era. This summer, at the iconic Circle Club in Soverato, we’re bringing together a lineup that reads like a love letter to electronic music. From international legends to underground tastemakers, each artist adds a chapter to a story that spans genres, borders, and unforgettable nights on the dancefloor.

Here’s your full guide to the artists of DiBeat Summer 2025 — who they are, why we love them, and why you’ll want to be front and center.

Friday, July 18

Neverdogs

Veterans of the global tech-house circuit, the Neverdogs (Tommaso and Marco) are a duo that defines consistency and class. With roots in Florence and a career forged in the crucible of Ibiza’s underground scene, particularly through their long-standing affiliation with Music On, their sets balance infectious grooves with sleek minimalism. From DC10 to BPM Festival, their vibe is pure rhythm. Expect a no-nonsense, hypnotic opening night that sets the tone for the rest of the summer.

Da Vid

Hailing from Riccione, Da Vid represents the future of Italian minimal and house. As a resident of Classic Club, he’s spent years fine-tuning his craft in front of discerning crowds, blending warm textures with stripped-back precision. His deep, rolling sound perfectly pairs with Neverdogs — a younger voice in tune with the genre’s roots, but always pushing forward.

Sante Sansone

If you’re into percussive, high-octane house with a Mediterranean edge, look no further than Sante Sansone. With releases on elrow Music, Roush, and Moxy Muzik, his sound is full of bounce, swagger, and sun-soaked party energy. A proud son of Puglia, Sansone knows how to heat a crowd — and his tracks speak the international language of dance.

Gianni Sabato

A foundational figure in Southern Italy’s club culture, Gianni Sabato is not just a DJ — he’s a storyteller. As a long-time resident of the legendary Guendalina and the mind behind projects like Rush? and Beat, Sabato has built stages and memories for over a decade. His selections bridge past and present, always with soul, depth, and undeniable class.

Friday, August 1

Paco Osuna

Paco Osuna is a name that needs little introduction. With over 25 years in the game, the Spanish master of techno minimalism brings a signature style: punchy, precise, and uncompromisingly energetic. Whether headlining Awakenings, running Mindshake Records, or smashing peak-time sets at Amnesia, Paco crafts an atmosphere of pure electricity. Prepare for a masterclass in control and euphoria.

Franky Rizardo

From Defected darling to label head of LTF and host of FLOW, Franky Rizardo has carved out a space where soulful house and peak-time energy collide. His sets are always sunny, optimistic, and expertly paced — the kind that leaves you smiling without knowing why. Expect grooves that make your body move and your spirit soar.

Thursday, August 14 – Ferragosto Warmup

Seth Troxler & DjProtein

Seth Troxler is electronic music’s lovable wildcard — a brilliant selector, sharp provocateur, and co-founder of labels like Visionquest and Tuskegee. His sets are as likely to include Detroit techno as disco, acid house, or a vintage pop curveball — and they always work. Partnering with Italy’s rising groove maestro DjProtein, this Ferragosto Special promises to be bold, genre-bending, and unforgettable.

Friday, August 15 – Ferragosto Edition

Loco Dice

A titan of techno with a hip-hop heart, Loco Dice has spent decades lighting up the biggest stages on the planet. His sound is gritty, bass-heavy, and undeniably stylish — like Berlin and Miami shaking hands on a dark dancefloor. Expect an intense, immersive experience from one of the best to ever do it.

Friday, August 22

Ilario Alicante

Born in Livorno and raised on the sounds of Frankfurt and Ibiza, Ilario Alicante is Italy’s techno export par excellence. A regular at Awakenings, Time Warp, and Ushuaïa, his sets are deep, driving, and emotionally rich. He crafts tension and release with surgical precision — think eyes closed, hands up, and goosebumps at sunrise.

Friday, August 29
