WELCOME NEW YEAR WITH LOST FREQUENCIES

DJ promises joy, unity, and a special surprise to close out the year

- 

We caught up with Lost Frequencies ahead of his New Year's Eve set in Dubai — aka the most extra night on the party calendar — to talk about high-pressure countdown crowds, genre-bending dance floors, and the surprise new music he's dropping to close out the year. Here's what he had to say:

You're performing in Dubai on New Year's Eve - does playing on a night like this change the way you approach your set?

For sure! I always want to bring the end of the year crowds together with a set that uplifts and there is no better time to do that than on New Year's Eve!

I'm super excited and actually have a new release coming up to close out the year as a special surprise to my fans, so I feel it will be the perfect time to play that out in Dubai...

NYE crowds come with huge expectations. Do you feel pressure, or is that energy which excites you most as an artist?

There can be pressure with every show or festival, no matter the size, so for me, it's just about uniting an audience through music and bringing that joy to the dance floor - especially for new year's.

Dubai has one of the most diverse audiences in the world - how does that affect the way you read the crowd live?

I think playing in Dubai really allows me to be a bit more unconventional with genres as I know the audiences are happy to go on that journey with me! For this show, I'll be bringing lots of new music and some super special edits, so we will see where the night takes us!
