Inside the can’t-miss emerging talent at Hulaween 2026

Hulaween is returning to Suwanee, Florida this October, and the lineup is filled with some soon-to-be major names in dance music. Who are they?

Returning to Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park from October 22-25, Hulaween’s 2026 lineup brings Pretty Lights, Excision, My Morning Jacket, Geese and three nights of The String Cheese Incident to Live Oak, Florida. In the swamp, this year’s lineup also has some hot new artists footing the flyer. From house to bass, these artists are marking their territory one track at a time. Here are some emerging artists worth discovering at Suwannee this October.

Steller

Steller has steadily carved out her place in the next wave of bass music with productions that favor deep grooves with a touch of psychedelia. Steller’s trippy sound might have been destined for the overarching vibe of Hulaween, where you never know what strange being is around the corner. Whether that be a fellow festivalgoer, an immersive exhibit, or a stage. For bass fans planning to wander beyond in the deep end, Steller belongs high on the list. 

AHEE

AHEE approaches bass music from its weirder edges with a crazy SoundCloud catalog. Moving with bass-heavy sound design that marries funk, dubstep, and experimentation but cannot and will not settle into one lane. That unpredictability is exactly what can turn an afternoon discovery into one of the weekend’s most talked-about sets.

Dean Turley

Fueled by the breakout success of “Actin’ Tough,” Dean Turley has quickly become a name to know in house music. The Melbourne producer landed on Hulaween’s 2026 lineup as a later addition, arriving at Suwannee with serious momentum behind one of the year’s standout club records. “Actin’ Tough” has multiple remixes by house and bass artists and has found its way into sets by major selectors.

RUDASHI

Rudashi returns to the Spirit of the Suwannee, this time on the lineup. The rising artist has been a Hulaween mainstay for years, working with the Incendia group. Having performed the last few years at the DEF Off Limits Stage to close out the festival, his name is on the main lineup. Especially fitting artist to watch as he highlights Hulaween’s ability to bring emerging talent to the forefront as their careers continue to develop.

EFFY

Effy arrives from a UK scene currently blurring the boundaries between house, techno, and garage. Her sets thrive on movement and tension, like some of her inspirations, such as The Prodigy and Pendulum. Rather than staying loyal to a single genre, she is paving her own sound, which makes her a strong fit for Hulaween’s increasingly adventurous talent bookings.
