Australian DJ Anna Lunoe is a popular producer, singer, and songwriter known for her dance-oriented, electronic pop sound. One of the first women to mix for Ministry of Sound, Lunoe broke through in 2012 with the EP Anna Lunoe & Friends, featuring Flume and Touch Sensitive. Along with high-profile appearances at Coachella, TomorrowWorld, and Electric Daisy Carnival, she scored dance hits like "Real Talk," "All Out," and "B.D.D. (Bass Drum Dealer)." In 2019, she released the Right Party EP. Following a brief hiatus, Lunoe returned in 2022 with a tour and the Saturday Love EP, before delivering her full-length debut with 2024's Pearl.

A native of Sydney, Lunoe started playing music in her teens, initially on piano and guitar. However, after leaving school she began experimenting with DJ'ing and computer production. After working for FBi radio, she began producing the popular Clubbers Guide mix compilations for Ministry of Sound, one of the first women to DJ for the global house music brand. Several of the compilations topped the internet dance charts and went gold in Australia. Around 2012, she relocated to Los Angeles and gained wider attention with the release of her Anna Lunoe & Friends EP, which featured guest spots from Flume and Touch Sensitive. She continued to build her fan base with numerous live appearances, including DJ sets at Electric Daisy Carnival, Coachella, Ultra, and TomorrowWorld. More well-received singles followed, including 2014's "B.D.D. (Bass Drum Dealer)," 2016's "Radioactive," and 2017's "Bullseye." Also in 2017, she toured with Diplo and the Weeknd, launched her own Hyperhouse brand, and gave birth to her first child.

In 2018, Lunoe delivered the single "Blaze of Glory," followed by the Right Party EP in 2019. However, 2020 proved a difficult year for the DJ, who gave birth to her second child while fighting an ear infection that left her deaf, first partially in one ear and then fully in both, for several months. She relocated back to Sydney, a move that happened to coincide with Australia going into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unable to tour and still recovering from her pregnancy and health issues, Lunoe briefly considered quitting music altogether.

She eventually regained her health and in March 2022 returned with single "Double Dip" with Madison Rose. An EP, Saturday Love, followed that October and featured appearances by Lulu Be. and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. She also embarked on her first U.S. tour in over two years.

In October 2024, she delivered her full-length debut album, Pearl. Co-produced with Jack Glass, the album found Lunoe drawing upon all of her musical and emotional experiences, crafting sparkling, hyperkinetic dance anthems. Heralded by the title track and "Real Love," the album featured guest appearances by Shanique Marie and Iglew, along with collaborations with J.O.S.H.U.A., Y U QT, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. ~ Matt Collar

British producer, DJ, and songwriter Orlando Higginbottom chose the moniker Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs because it couldn't be confined to a specific, fleeting music scene destined to be abandoned once the hype cycle runs out. True to form, his music doesn't fit into a specific style, but it can generally be described as melodic, club-ready dance-pop with playful synth textures and sincere vocals. Drawing from Chicago house, U.K. garage, funk, indie pop, and more, he made his full-length debut with the acclaimed Trouble in 2012. Production work for artists such as Banks, Mark Ronson, and SG Lewis followed, as well as collaborations with the likes of Bonobo (2020's Grammy-nominated "Heartbreak") and Porter Robinson, and a pair of solo EPs by the time he delivered his second album, 2022's equally diverse When the Lights Go.

Orlando Higginbottom is the son of Professor Edward Higginbottom, a highly respected choral conductor, organist, and former director of the Choir of New College, Oxford. Orlando sang on some of the choir's recordings as a youth, and attended the Junior Royal Academy of Music in London. After getting into electronic music as a teenager, he began uploading demos of his tracks to MySpace in 2007. He later signed to Greco-Roman, co-founded by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, and released his debut EP, All in One Sixty Dancehalls, in 2009. Its 2010 sequel, All in Two Sixty Dancehalls, included TEED's breakout hit, "Garden," which attracted attention from BBC Radio 1.

An additional Greco-Roman EP, Household Goods, appeared before TEED signed to Polydor, which re-released "Garden" as a stand-alone single in 2011. Higginbottom also participated in the Damon Albarn-helmed DRC Music project, producing and co-writing several tracks on the Warp-issued Kinshasa One Two album. TEED's full-length debut, Trouble, appeared in 2012, and peaked in the Top 40 of the U.K. album charts. Casablanca handled the record's American release. Higginbottom co-founded Nice Age, and began releasing material through the label. TEED issued the mixed double-CD Get Lost VI on Crosstown Rebels in 2013, and his collaboration with Eats Everything, "Lion, the Lion," was released as a single. He also collaborated with Dillon Francis on the Mad Decent-issued "Without You," and Anna Lunoe on 2014's "Feels Like." He produced several tracks on Banks' 2014 debut Goddess, and also worked on album tracks by Mark Ronson and Boys Noize.

After a four-year absence from releasing original material, TEED returned in 2018 with several Nice Age-issued singles, including "Body Move" and "Energy Fantasy." He produced or co-wrote songs by Kelsey Lu, Shura, and SG Lewis (including "Impact," featuring Robyn and Channel Tres). TEED released an ambient solo EP, I Can Hear the Birds, in 2020, and collaborated with Bonobo on breakbeat house tracks such as the Grammy-nominated "Heartbreak" and "6000 Ft." TEED co-produced Porter Robinson's 2021 single "Unfold," then released the vocal-driven EP The Distance in 2021 before presenting his second long-player and his first in ten years. The 17-track When the Lights Go appeared on Nice Age in September of 2022. ~ Paul Simpson
