Still deciding who to add to your Goldrush Music Festival itinerary? We’ve picked six artists that you should definitely check out while there!
Goldrush Music Festival has become one of the most revered events from Relentless Beats, and 2025 is shaping up to be one of the best editions yet. It’s returning to Rawhide Western Town & Event Center in Chandler, Arizona on September 12-13, and attendees are ecstatic to see the festival come back to this venue after being held at the Phoenix Raceway the past three editions. With its wild west theme out in full force, fans are ready for “the return to the west.”
The lineup is no joke either. As it leans heavy on the bass side, festival-goers will be able to catch the likes of Excision, Crankdat, Eliminate, Getter, DRINKURWATER, INFEKT, William Black, and Kompany at the show, along with a first-ever back-to-back set from ILLENIUM and Zeds Dead. For those craving the harder styles, Showtek and Sub Zero Project will be supplying the hardstyle beats, while Wilkinson will be offering hearty drum and bass.
There’s something for everyone on the lineup, though. If you’re a fan of techno or house music, swing by sets by the likes of Kyle Watson, Destructo, Disco Lines, HI-LO, LF System, Roddy Lima, Wax Motif, Iglesias, or Rinzen to get your fix. Additional heavy hitters include Dillon Francis, Major Lazer, and Benny Benassi.

Six Artists You Need to See at Goldrush Music Festival
Getter
Getter is returning after a years-long hiatus, and fans are over the moon to finally see him back in action. His last body of work, 2021’s Some Creature EP, left music lovers yearning for more in his absence. This summer saw Getter embarking on his Revival Tour with stops across the US and Canada, making his grand comeback to the scene.
You won’t want to miss his Resurrection set at Goldrush this year. For a dose of his signature trap, dubstep, rap, and more, be sure to swing by his performance on Friday.
Ninajirachi
Australian producer Ninajirachi’s meteoric ascent is backed by a signature sound she calls “girl EDM.” A blend of electro-house, progressive house, electro-pop, and other elements reminiscent of early 2010s EDM, she’s drawn inspiration from influences like Porter Robinson, with whom she even went on tour in Australia. Her debut album, I Love My Computer, just dropped, and she’s returning to North America for her own tour beginning this September.
Her nostalgic, feel-good music combined with glitchy, emotive moments and unique storytelling make Ninajirachi one to watch. For a performance you won’t soon forget, be sure to visit her set on Saturday at Goldrush.
Space Laces
A bass pioneer, Space Laces has been ushering in new elements in the scene over the past ten years and more. From classics like “Throwin’ Elbows” with Excision to recent favorites like “RELOADED” with DJ Snake, this genre-bending producer has stood the test of time. Recent collaborations with MUST DIE! and Kayzo as HIVEMIND have also resonated among fans through intense, hard techno releases.
Nearing the end of a summer slew of shows around the globe and gearing up for his Vaultage 004 mix debut in Denver this November, Space Laces will touch down at Goldrush in just a few weeks. For a chance to satisfy your inner headbanger, seek out his set on Saturday.
Wilkinson
For a hefty dose of drum and bass, you’ll want to catch Wilkinson at Goldrush. This London-born producer has taken the DnB universe by storm for longer than a decade. Standout performances this year at events like Ultra Music Festival and Glastonbury have only propelled him further in the industry.
With an upcoming North American tour this fall and hot off the release of his latest single, “Come Down,” Wilkinson is set to continue satiating the appetites of drum and bass lovers. Stop by his set on Saturday at Goldrush for fiery, high-octane beats.
Wax Motif
Put on your shuffling shoes and get down to Wax Motif at Goldrush this year. The Australia-born, LA-based producer’s infectious odes to house, disco, and R&B never fail to get fans on their feet. His debut 2022 album, House of Wax, made waves in the community by showcasing his range. Meanwhile, his imprint, Divided Souls Records, continues to put out heaters.
With a summer of shows at events like Day Trip Festival in Long Beach to all-night marathons at Space Miami, Wax Motif knows how to keep a crowd going for hours. Catch him and all his energy on Friday at Goldrush.
Steller
Steller is carving out her own space in the bass community, winning over fans with her wonky and grimy beats. Launching onto the scene in 2020, she’s quickly gained support from artists like Subtronics, Zeds Dead, Excision, Wreckno, and Mersiv. 2025 has seen her continue the momentum, launching her first headline tour with over 15 North American stops and playing festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge.
This Florida-bred producer is on her way to taking over decks worldwide. Before she propels further, swing by her performance at Goldrush on Friday.
