This year, Beatport proudly introduces the 12 artists shaping the Beatport Next Class of 2025:

Emerging UK electronic artist Suncream invites listeners to the dancefloor with his latest single ‘Move,’ set for release on 31st January 2025 via Allotment Records. Aptly described as “organic dance music for the soul,” ‘Move’ showcases Suncream’s infectious, sun-kissed sound that has already gained support from BBC Radio 1 and Spotify’s Fresh Finds Dance playlist.

Funky, soulful, and unapologetically fun, the track is a smooth invitation to let loose and embrace the groove. Already a highlight in Suncream’s recent DJ sets, it’s a dancefloor-ready gem destined to resonate with fans of timeless electronic music.

Drawing on a background as a guitarist in bands before transitioning to electronic music, Suncream combines live instrumentation with programmed beats to create warm, textured soundscapes that push boundaries while maintaining a comforting sense of familiarity.
With ‘Move,’ Suncream continues his mission to blend lo-fi electronic exploration with funk, disco, and uplifting energy. Get ready to dance to this soulful anthem as it drops on 31st January 2025.

Quicche
30 January 2025 - Dan Prince
Introduce yourself, who exactly is Quicche?  Quicche is Marc. What first inspired you to become an artist? When I started making music, as a teenager, it was certainly, even if it doesn’t sound particularly romantic, just a tool to make friends – at least that’s what I hoped. As I grew older, I realised how much strength one can draw from one’s own creative work and how important it is for my own processing. So the drive has turned 180 […]
