nearly two decades of individual experience in the scene, their partnership is built on drive, precision, and raw emotional intensity.

Robert Curtis 🎧 Tech Trance Producer & DJ Hailing from Cleethorpes, UK, Robert Curtis is a rising force in the underground trance scene, specializing in hard-hitting tech trance, hard trance, and psy‑trance fusions designed to ignite the dancefloor. His productions have earned growing recognition across the global circuit, with a standout moment being when Amelie Lens dropped his track “The Butterfly Effect” live at Tomorrowland, exposing his sound to tens of thousands of listeners on one of the world’s biggest stages.
DJ and producer Guy Johnson from Grimsby UK has built a brand centred around Trance. From Progressive to uplifting Melodic he has created with huge tracks on Vandit Alternative, Ballistic Records & Of Course Rated Records. An Artist to watch we think.
Dave Barnett is one of those names that’s been quietly circulating in the Grimsby scene for years — the kind of DJ who’s put in the hours, read the rooms, and built a reputation the proper way: behind the decks. Now, he’s stepping into a new chapter, turning that experience toward production — and it’s already paying off.
His debut release on on Rated with Blacklisted, 11:11, made an immediate impact. There’s a confidence to it that doesn’t feel like a “first attempt” — tight, focused, and clearly shaped by years of understanding what works on a dancefloor.
What stands out is how naturally he’s made the transition. Dave’s early output suggests he’s got what it takes.
Still early days, but the signs are strong. With 11:11 setting the tone and more on the way, Dave Barnett is firmly in that “one to watch” category — not just locally in Grimsby, but potentially much further afield if he keeps this momentum going.
