The show will go on for Beyond Wonderland.

Where the ongoing novel coronavirus fears have led to the cancellation of South by Southwest and postponement of the Coachella Music and Arts and Stagecoach festivals, Insomniac’s Beyond Wonderland team indicated on social media that the dance music festival, scheduled for March 20 and 21 at NOS Events Center, will move forward as scheduled.

As well, a spokesperson for the NOS Event Center confirmed that Beyond Wonderland would proceed.

The Beyond Wonderland team also noted that they will be setting up more stations where guests can wash or sanitize their hands. Attendees will also be permitted to bring their own, sealed hand sanitizers and wet wipes into the festival.

This year’s festival offers five stages bringing together Insomniac’s varied brands, from the underground techno of Factory 93 to the hardcore beats of Basscon, and a stacked line-up that includes familiar names for festival crowds, like Dubfire and Lee Foss, and relative newcomers like Gerard Not Oscar Gerard.

Below, we’ve picked out ten highlights from this year’s event.

1. Dubfire

A true trailblazer in dance music, Dubfire spent much of the ’90s and early ’00s as half of the Grammy-winning production duo Deep Dish. As a solo artist, he digs into the dark sounds of the techno and house underground, wowing crowds across the globe. His latest single, “Lotus,” a collaboration with iconic Detroit techno producer Carl Craig and vocalist Kate Elsworth, is a sublime slice of deep house. Dubfire plays Saturday.

2. Nastia

Nastia is a DJ’s DJ. The Ukrainian performer emphasizes the art of the mix over producing music, and her sets are all the more adventurous for it. Techno is the backbone of what Nastia plays, but she takes it into unexpected directions, playing with rhythm and melody, seamlessly working in styles like drum and bass, bridging together the vibe of the ’90s rave era with the modern underground. Nastia plays Friday.

3. Mija

In late February, the Arizona-raised, L.A.-based DJ/producer and singer Mija released her debut artist full-length, “Desert Trash,” showcasing an eclectic mix of influences, from house to jazz. Similarly, Mija’s DJ sets cross the stylistic boundaries of dance music and blend into a sound that is uniquely her own. Mija plays Saturday.

4. DJ Dan

DJ Dan is undoubtedly a familiar name to multiple generations of California party people. This stalwart of the West Coast dance music community’s work history coincides with the rise of raves in the region. Offstage, he has released a slew of quality club cuts and remixes. Most recently, he dropped “The Crowd Said Dance,” a disco-inflected house jam that plays with Eric B. & Rakim’s “Follow the Leader,” in collaboration with Block & Crown. DJ Dan plays Saturday.

5. Chus & Ceballos

Earlier in March, Spanish DJ/producers Chus & Ceballos dropped their remixes of Alex Newell’s single “Boy You Can Keep It.” With their “club mix’ and “dark mix,” the duo radically transformed the soul banger from the former “Glee” star into peak-hour tech-house full of rousing beats and manipulated vocals. They excel in the space that exists between the heavy, moody synths of techno and the disco groove of house. Chus & Ceballos play Saturday.

6. Lee Foss

Lee Foss has garnered an international reputation with his traveling party Repopulate Mars and the cult favorite record label, Hot Creations, that he founded with Jamie Jones. His production work runs the gamut from hip-hop (“Trap Money” with Mal Rainey and SPNCR) to nu-disco (“Swipe” with Lee Curtiss and SPNCR) to electro-techno (“Lies, Deception, and Fantasy” with Chris Lake). Lee Foss plays Saturday.

7. Benny Benassi

Back in 2002, when ’80s-influenced electroclash was all the rage, Italian DJ Benny Benassi released “Satisfaction,” which would go on to become a monster club hit. Since then, Benassi has generated oodles of high profile work, including a Grammy win for his remix of Public Enemy’s classic “Bring the Noise” and recent remixes for Madonna and Sean Paul. Benassi plays Saturday.

8. Deborah De Luca

For Deborah De Luca fans, and she has a lot of them, the Italian DJ’s set at Beyond Wonderland couldn’t come at a better time. “She Sleeps,” her forthcoming album, is due out in May and De Luca has been dropping teasers of heavy-hitting techno tracks, like “Deeper” and “Sugar,” on her socials in recent weeks. Will she give the crowd at Beyond Wonderland a sneak peek? You’ll have to wait to find out. Deborah De Luca plays Saturday.

9. Soothslayer

Originally from North Carolina, Soothslayer relocated to Los Angeles over a decade ago, where she’s been carving out her niche in drum and bass. Focusing on fast and heavy beats, this DJ/producer can make your head bang has your fists pump and your feet try to keep up with the beats per minute. Soothslayer plays Friday.

10. Gerard Not Oscar Gerard

Gerard Not Gerald is a co-founder and resident DJ for L.A. promotion team Incognito. Oscar Gerard is also an Incognito resident, as well as a promoter for local party Bāzəl. Together, they form Gerard Not Oscar Gerard and produce driving techno. Gerard Not Oscar Gerard play Saturday.
