How to Create Your Wave with LAMMER & Kyle Starkey
Speakers: LAMMER (Artist), Kyle Starkey (Artist)
Level: Foundation
What does it take to turn momentum into a lasting career in today’s electronic music scene? In this conversation, two of dance music’s fast-rising names, LAMMER and Kyle Starkey, sit down to share their experiences of breaking through, building a signature sound and navigating the challenges that come with growth.
From Rotterdam’s underground to playing a closing slot at Lowlands, LAMMER has rapidly become a force in European nightlife, with sold-out marathon sets and support from tastemakers across the spectrum. With his debut EP on the horizon, he is carving his place with a raw blend of 90s rave, trance and house. Kyle Starkey, meanwhile, has won over dance floors worldwide with his genre-blurring approach, threading rare 90s cuts with modern productions that capture both heritage and innovation.
Together they will reflect on the steps that shaped their journeys so far, from breakthrough tracks to packed touring schedules, and discuss what it takes to sustain growth in a constantly evolving industry. This session offers practical insights and honest advice for aspiring DJs and producers who want to shape a career that lasts. After all, both LAMMER and Kyle were once aspiring artists, just like you!
