Bootyspoon, Odile Myrtil, Toronto selector Bambii, Portugal's DJ Marfox, TYGAPAW and Total Freedom.
The focus will shift to house and techno on September 23, with a 13-hour, two-stage marathon featuring sets from Borusiade, Carla Dal Forno (live), Carlos Souffront b2b Derek Plaslaiko, Courtesy, Jayda G, Umfang and Volvox.
