Simon Patterson
Hailing from Ireland, Simon Patterson, or as he is affectionately known by his fans, ‘Psymon’, is one of the flag-bearers of the Team 140 trance movement. A master of the harder styles of trance, Simon has built his reputation around bringing incredible energy and technique into every set he plays. When Simon takes the decks, you can expect a fast paced tour the best of uplifting, tech and of course psy-trance. So open up your mind and take a deeper look at Simon Patterson.
Simon’s career began at the turn of the millennium in England. It was here that he helped to form the trance project Dogzilla, which he was a part of until 2008. As a solo act, Simon found even more success, scoring 11 straight #1’s on Beatport’s trance chart with tracks like “Thump,” “Latika” and “The One.” The last few years have seen Simon touring the globe, playing some of the biggest festivals around the world. His radio show Open Up is currently one of the most popular weekly trance podcasts. He has played to hundreds of thousands at festivals like Tomorrowland and now he’s coming Something Wicked!

Firebeatz
Though Dutch duo Firebeatz have been storming Holland since 2008, 2012 solidified their global reach and fan ship. Their track “Just One More Time Baby,” with Chocolate Puma was a big hit on Beatport and received a massive endorsement from Pete Tong. Topping the Beatport House chart for weeks, they followed that with one of their biggest hits, a collaboration with rising talent Schella titled “Dear New York.” Incorporating a classic sample within a bass-heavy production, “Dear New York” gained massive DJ support and climbed Beatport’s Top 100 chart reaching the #2 position and remained a Beatport Top 10 track for weeks on end.
In 2013, Firebeatz kept churning out club bangers like “Gangster” and their collaboration with Bobby Burns called “Ding Dong,” released on Tiësto’s Musical Freedom imprint. Known for their progressive and techy influences, rhythmic melodies and grimy synths, their current offering, “Wicked,” is the perfect cumulation of all those elements. Teaming up with Schella once again, the track has that signature funky Firebeatz vibe with woven break beats, upright bass lines, groovy vocals and a thick electro drop. “Wicked” will definitely rock festivals around the world, including Something Wicked on Saturday, October 26th at the Sam Houston Race Park.
