Soundcheck: Sultan + Shepard's Beatport Chart for Lightning in a Bottle

Blending emotional depth with progressive flair, their sound has earned Grammy and Juno nods, global festival stages, and a plethora of acclaimed releases, Montreal duo Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard (aka Sultan + Shepard) have long reigned supreme as kings of the progressive scene. 

Ahead of their performance at the 2025 edition of Lightning in a Bottle, we asked Sultan + Shepard to line up a playlist with a few tracks that have been driving their sound as of late.

"In celebration of our latest Communicate EP, here are some of our favorite melodic and progressive house tunes in the past few weeks. We can't wait to play some of these at our upcoming performance at Lightning in a Bottle Festival." — Sultan + Shepard
