Countdown to Decadence Arizona 2024!!
Get ready to ring in the New Year with unparalleled energy at Decadence Arizona 2024! Set against the dynamic backdrop of Phoenix Raceway, this premier electronic dance music festival is poised to deliver an unforgettable experience for all attendees. I have attended Decadence AZ since 2019 and each year gets better and better! From stage production to artist lineup to insane lasers, they have ONLY the best this year!
This year, Relentless Beats has outdone itself with an incredible lineup that is both well rounded and also filled with huge headliners. With that being said, we all know it’s always a process picking the lineup of artists you and your group want to see! With so many incredible acts to choose from, it can be hard to narrow it down. I’ve picked out an equal blend of house and bass that your whole group will love, and I hope you enjoy my top recommendations for both nights.
To start it all off with Day One the first set on my list is Tchami b2b Malaa. If you’ve experienced Tchami or Malaa individually, you already know the absolute vibes they bring. But together, their “No Redemption” b2b set promises to be on another level. I’ve seen them separately and loved every second, so imagining their styles meshing live—Tchami’s future house grooves paired with Malaa’s dark, gritty vibes—has me beyond excited. I was supposed to catch this set at Beyond Wonderland this year but missed it so I am so excited that Relentless Beats is bringing us this fire set.
Brace yourself for headbanging madness because next on my list is Wooli who always delivers some of the hardest music. I’ve caught his sets a handful of times, and they’re consistently packed with high-energy drops and euphoric melodic bass moments. One of my favorite memories of seeing Wooli was at Nova in San Diego and he brought out a wooly mammoth behind the DJ booth, it was truly insane and I will never forget that.
Dom Dolla is one of my all-time favorite artists, and his sets never disappoint. His infectious house beats, paired with his ability to read the crowd and keep the vibe alive, are what make him a standout. With new music dropping recently, I can’t wait to hear what surprises he has in store for Decadence. More specifically when he plays his “Stephanie” remix I will be going crazy!! Overall his set will be a groove-heavy, feel-good experience you won’t want to miss.
Closing out Night One, Excision guarantees a mind-blowing finale. His jaw-dropping visuals and chest-rattling bass make his performances legendary. I’ve seen Excision a handful of times but in my opinion, his best sets are on stages that have massive screens. He is known for his visuals and he truly never disappoints. At my very first EDC he played circuit grounds and his T-Rex visuals were so insane you do not want to miss what he is about to bring to Arizona! The energy and production Excision brings are simply unmatched, making his set the perfect conclusion to an epic night.
We are going to start Day Two off right with Zeds Dead!! They played Decadence 2022 and it was an unforgettable set that was packed with lasers and when they played “Ecstasy of Soul” it was just too good. Zeds Dead consistently delivers dynamic sets that blend dubstep, house, and everything in between. Their ability to shift from emotional, melodic tracks to heavy-hitting drops keeps their sets engaging from start to finish. They’re festival legends for a reason, and Decadence is the perfect stage for their signature sound.
If you’re into hypnotic, tech-house grooves, Mau P is the artist to see. Known for HUGE TRACKS, Mau P has a knack for crafting beats that transport you to another world. The first time I saw Mau P was at Beyond Wonderland 2023, and we stumbled upon his set completely by accident. It turned out to be an unforgettable experience—his euphoric performance deepened my love for house music even more! With so many iconic house bangers, Mau P always delivers an incredible vibe, guaranteeing a fun time and some seriously sick drops. If you’re a house head like me, his set is the place to be!
Next on the list is this fire b2b from Dr. Fresch and Bijou! I’ve seen Bijou countless times and his sets are always so fun. It’s a bouncy house vibe that never fails and I can’t wait to see what he can do with Dr. Fresch as a duo!
Now to the highlight of the festival – NYE COUNTDOWN SET. This one was a no brainer for me because, in my opinion, there’s no better way to start 2025 than with John Summit. His music is the perfect blend of uplifting and energetic, making him the ideal artist to ring in the New Year. I love that John Summit has the ability to play all kinds of different genres which makes his sets always a surprise. His infectious energy and crowd connection will make the ball drop moment unforgettable, setting the tone for an incredible year ahead.
I can’t believe Decadence is only a few days away! I can’t wait to be back under all the confetti and balloons with my best friends! You all know which sets I’ll be at! I hope I have helped you pick your sets for the festival and come find me on the dance floor!
