Born in Newcastle (AU), now based in London, Mall Grab has evolved his sound from hazy lo-fi textures into high-octane techno and rave-ready house. A co-founder of Fragrance Records, his work builds alongside a crew of talent. His DJ sets bury genre lines with nuance and relentlessness. From warehouse floors to global stages, Mall Grab continues to carve new shapes into club architecture.

Joining from the US is Boston DJ Armand Van Helden, creator of the infamous “Barbara Streisand”.

Hailing from the UK is multi-platinum selling artist D.O.D, known for feel-good hits like “Somedays” and “Still Sleepless”. Also headed to the slopes from the UK is electronic heavy weights Gorgon City and blk.. 

From the home of electronic music itself, there are a handful of European artists joining the Snow Machine festivities. Dublin DJ duo Belters Only, comprised of friends Bissett and Robbie G, are renowned for making tracks that are, well… belters only. Serving up talent from all corners of Europe, Ukranian DJ Korolova, Scottish techno powerhouse Hannah Laing and Belfast native Mark Blair have their flights to Japan booked.

Here to help the Aussies feel at home is Sydney duo Flight Facilities and viral sensation Cyril. Breaking through with their 2010 single “Crave You”, Flight Facilities have become an integral part of the Australian electronic scene. Hailing from rural Australia, Cyril has surpassed 1 billion streams with tracks “Stumblin’ In” and his remix of Disturbed’s “Sound of Silence”, collaborating with renowned artists like Teddy Swims and Dean Lewis. Joined by local legends Bag Raiders, Uberjakd and Mashd N Kutcher, Australian talent will be well and truly on display. 

Offering unmatched Japanese hospitality, Snow Machine attendees get to experience the latest in Japanese electronic music with Yuuki Yoshiyama, house music collective CYK Toyko and more.

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE CULTURE 

The rich tapestry of Japan’s culture is enchanting – the history, the traditions, the food, the harmony between nature and human existence. When it’s time to hang up the skis, you can immerse yourself in the Japanese way of life from a soak in the therapeutic onsen baths, to observing the snow monkeys, to indulging in yakitori delights and smooth sake, the essence of Japanese artisanal craftsmanship. 

PARTIES AND EVENTS 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Snow Machine without an abundance of side parties and events to supercharge your week-long adventure. More details are on the way, but expect a mix of happenings across Hakuba Valley’s mountain resorts, the village, and beyond!
