Brazilian brothers and feline lovers Lugui and Pedrão are now firmly entrenched in the global electronic music scene. This is their sixth straight year in the poll and it's been another one defined by their endless touring schedule. They cite playing Tomorrowland and EDC's main stages for the first time as "just magical" amongst many other first-time shows in new places all over the world.

All this time travelling the globe has naturally had an impact on their unique house style. "Listening to a lot of different styles and seeing DJs playing has opened our minds to a lot of different sounds we were not used to, and those experiences have been great for inspiring us musically,” they say.

For the first time since the pandemic, their Cat House label party is soon to make a return and next to that the pair promise they have “a lot of awesome tracks and collabs to be released which we cannot talk about!”
