A Denis Sulta set can be like taking a rollercoaster at your local fair, exhilarating and frantic in equal doses. Hailing from Scotland’s dance music capital Glasgow, Sulta fine-tuned his craft working in the Rubadub record store, eventually landing himself a residency at the world-renowned Sub Club. This was followed by a record deal with Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, his debut Sulta Selects Vol 1 project, and his 2015 single ‘It’s Only Real’., all turning the heads of industry moguls Jackmaster, Optimo, and Four Tet. When you pair that with an AVA Boiler Room set which has now clocked over 1.6 million views, a DJ Award for Best Breakthrough Producer, as well as landing the #26 spot in Resident Advisor’s last ever Top 100 DJs poll, Denis Sulta’s is undoubtedly one of the world’s most sought-after acts.

HAAi is a London based Sydney ex-pat who has the music industry in the palm of her hands. Known for her longstanding, but now defunct, weekly residency at London’s Phonox nightclub, HAAi spent 6 hours every Saturday night honing in on her sound which fuses psychedelic worldly beats with hard-hitting house, techno and breaks. Having played back to back sets with The Black Madonna, Midland, Daniel Avery, Mall Grab and Denis Sulta, HAAi proved herself to be an extremely talented and versatile selector, a point she proved when she was awarded the 2018 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix of the Year. If she is not curating her Coconut Beats imprint, HAAi is stunning global crowds at festivals including Glastonbury and Nuits Sonores. Her presence at Let Them Eat Cake this Year will be a highly anticipated one.

There is no way that anyone is standing still when Honey Dijon takes to the stage. Her sound is rooted in jackin’ Chicago house and Detroit techno, a sound she adopted from the predominantly black and queer parties she inhabited in her formative years. You could also argue that her keen sense for dancefloor dynamics could’ve been taught to her via an early friendship and mentorship with house icon Derrick Carter, a relationship that unfurled in her a longstanding love affair with dance music. Having graced some of the world’s biggest stages from AVA Festival, Kappa Futur, Dour, DGTL, Primavera and Melt, Honey Dijon has earned a reputation as a raucous party starter. From soundtracking catwalks for Louis Vuitton fashion shows to guest slots at Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar, no one quite lives and breathes the many iterations of house music’s influence as Honey Dijon.

The music of Jon Hopkins sits at the intersection of electronic, ambient, and techno.

His last studio album, 2018’s ‘Singularity’, was a critically acclaimed success and also nominated a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic album. With many of his recent ‘Singularity’ world tour shows selling out, we cannot be more excited to have this living musical auteur back at Let Them Eat Cake for a highly exclusive DJ set.

In recent times the Danish artist has become a bona fide international DJ, spending most of his days playing globally at venues like Rex, Fabric, Robert Johnson and Sankeys alongside festivals including Amsterdam Open Air Festival and Organik Festival.
