Eight Emerging Artists On Our Radar: June 2026
Welcome back to On Our Radar, Beatportal’s monthly roundup of the DJs and producers we can’t get enough of.

Asna
Asna makes music that's all about pulling it back toward the drum, the body… the source. The Ivorian DJ/producer, now based in Paris, exports club music where West African rhythm doesn’t sit politely on top of techno. It drives the whole thing. Her new EP Bring Back Rave In Town is self-released, and that matters. After dealing with labels that she says didn’t understand or properly value African artists, she built this one on her own terms. “Djeka” hits like a warning shot: raw percussion, locked-in pulse, and “Co Energy” brings forward a bassline that will leave you reeling. Glastonbury, Fusion, ADE, Rec-Beat, Scopitone, Paléo – all stages she’s hit with purpose and magnetic energy. Asna is on the rise and ready to take the circuit by storm.
Bryson Hill
London-via-Sydney DJ/producer Bryson Hill has been gaining speed through big, high-impact sets and tracks that go straight for the bloodstream. Chloé Caillet, Interplanetary Criminal, KETTAMA, Sam Alfred, and MALUGI are already in. His CLUB GUDU 009 EP on Peggy Gou’s imprint put a proper stamp on the year, then came an Ibiza debut at Hï alongside Dom Dolla. Now there’s “Cassette 97” with Emma B: synthlines flashing, drums rolling, bass climbing, and primo vocal cuts that all come together for wide-eyed club-focused electricity. Bryson Hill is on a mission and the momentum is impossible to ignore.
deBasement
The LA queer/trans hybrid live duo deBasement brings together Margo XS, the Grammy-nominated producer tied to Kim Petras and Zara Larsson, and Alli Logout of Special Interest. It’s nasty, fun, sweaty, overdriven club-pop with bass music rattling across the floor. Since forming in 2024, they’ve hit Berghain, Primavera Sound, Homobloc, TUNNEL, A Club Called Rhonda, Wide Awake Festival, and plenty of rooms where subtlety goes to die and self-expression thrives. Bambii, Kim Petras, A.G. Cook, Juliana Huxtable, u.r.trax, and Nikki Nair have all been playing the tracks. Their project HARDBODY arrives next month, with Nikki Nair, DJ ADHD, Miss Bashful, and more pulled into the blast radius. Zero chill. Full contact.
Firungi
The Brooklyn-based artist Firungi – whose name means “foreigner” in Hindi – makes long-form, percussion-led club music that sits in the mess of identity, movement, and being hard to pinpoint (in the best way possible). His tracks treat the floor like ritual: bodies first, explanation later. Through his Fly Foreign Records imprint and releases across Black Book, MoBlack, and his own orbit, he’s building some serious buzz. His latest track “Putaria” is proof: a hot-to-the-touch club weapon with Brazilian Funk vocal chops, beefy bass and loose percussion collide at full speed. His forthcoming three-track EP The Foreigner sharpens that language even further, moving through Afro-Latin longing, desert tension, lively percussion, and more. Across it all, Firungi sounds most at home between worlds.
HU
HU has done big things in the Italian pop circuit. Now she’s back in the rave with the voltage turned up. The producer, singer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist has moved through Jäger Music Lab, Spotify Release Radar, Sanremo Giovani, and the Sanremo Big Festival, so this isn’t some tidy “new artist” arc. It’s stranger than that. Her current sound throws her voice into fast BPMs, trance lift, emotional techno and melodic passion. Releases on Rave Alert, Exploited Club, and HYPERDREAMS show the range and commitment to the craft. Her new album Pop in the Morning, Rave by Night is out now, right before a summer run heading to Tomorrowland.
Mike Momburg
Cologne producer and DJ Mike Momburg pulls from ’90s house, hard house, progressive, and trance, then tightens it for modern rooms without killing the sweat. His debut on Tiësto's Musical Freedom imprint, “I Need A Miracle,” dropped recently and went straight to No. 1 on Beatport’s Trance chart. The track is massive and severely festival-ready, picking up support from the likes of DJ HEARTSTRING, Morgan Seatree, and more. That tells you enough. In addition to releasing on labels like Dansu Discs, Shall Not Fade, and Belters 4U, he also runs SOUND SOUND, a label and event platform linked with artists like Kolter, Dennis Quin, and Entasia. Dance floors like PollerWiesen, Nibirii, La Terrrazza, Lofi Amsterdam are all expecting him soon – the calendar looks busy. The momentum looks earned.
PIGMNT
PIGMNT makes body music with a brain behind it. Heavy, rhythmic, and wired into the London underground. The North-West London producer pulls from UK Funky, Gqom, Amapiano, Tribal, grime, dubstep, and bruk, and it all feels like someone who knows exactly which drum, bassline, or swing pattern will make a floor buckle at the right second. His Ginseng EP for Create Define Release’s Pathways programme links each cut to a holistic herb, partly inspired by MF DOOM’s Special Herbs series, the catalogues of iconic London labels like Hyperdub and Night Slugs, and partly by the idea that a sound system can actually do something to your nervous system. Ikonika, DJ Polo, Jamz Supernova, Pearson Sound, Shy One, and Bok Bok are already listening. So should everyone else.
YUNG PRADO
YUNG PRADO makes club music for people who still want the night to be ridiculous. Thank god. The Barcelona artist’s new album GUFI is 23 tracks of bouncing, chaotic, sexy, emotionally fried electronics built against the dull parts of dance music: the gatekeeping, the uniform, the need to look bored at 4AM. Prado pulls from Tiga, Ralphie Rosario, 00s Euroclash, Latin club energy, and then turns it into something bright, sticky, and unserious in the best way. “Quieren Tu Estilo,” “Nos Hemos Conocido Ahora,” and “Pensando En Ti” are all standouts from the LP, all of which move with heat, scrappy synthlines, warped bass charm, and a grin you can hear.
