Returning bigger than ever, here’s why you should be there.
A line-up you shouldn’t miss
This year, the festival unveils a line-up that gathers some of the region’s most compelling talents, each prepared to elevate the night into something extraordinary. Headlining is Wujackers, the high-voltage collaboration between Bassjackers and Wukong – a union that fuses Western big-room EDM firepower with Eastern-inspired intensity.
Bassjackers, the Dutch duo behind festival anthems like Crackin’ and All Around the World (La La La La La), are known worldwide for their explosive, hard-hitting sets on the main stages of festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra. Wukong, hailing from Singapore, brings a unique “oriental rave” vibe – blending traditional Asian motifs and mythology with electronic dance music, creating a sound that’s as primal as it is futuristic.
Together as Wujackers, their performance represents only the second public appearance of this collaboration – a rare live event that promises to deliver custom visuals, electrifying drops, and a fusion of stylistic influences designed to set the night apart.
Adding further depth to the line-up, the festival spotlights rising Asian and local talent: Malaysia’s own Yihuik – whose music has reportedly amassed billions of streams – delivers atmospheric vocals and emotional gravitas. And South Korea’s Suvin – former K-pop idol turned global-stage DJ – will bring her own brand of dynamic energy and cross-genre flair to the stage.

To complete the experience, the festival also includes a carefully curated roster of local artists: homegrown favourites such as Exclusive Pete (2023 Swift Talent Quest winner), DJ Nina, DJ Reeve, and last year’s champion DJ Svggy will bring hometown energy, raw mixing skills, and festival-ready vibes that embody Malaysia’s thriving scene. Topping off the lineup, MC Chan and MC Dnesh will also be driving the evening’s energy from start to finish.
Swift Talent Quest grand finale
On top of performances, attendees will witness the grand finale of the festival’s DJ competition, the Martell Noblige Swift Talent Quest 2025, now in its third year as one of Malaysia’s premier platforms for emerging DJ talent. The six top-performing DJs – K1, Novern, Saucie J, TZ, X, and Yeow – earned their spots through rounds of performances and audience engagement, including online votes and live crowd reactions.
This year’s edition introduces a new twist with surprise format challenges revealed at each round, from collaborative sets to genre flips and regional rave interpretations. Participants were evaluated on DJing skill, creativity, and crowd command throughout various rounds of performances at Martell Noblige Swift Nights, creating an engaging and unpredictable journey for both the DJs and the audience.
On the festival stage, one standout DJ will be crowned champion. The winner, chosen by both a regional panel and the crowd, will take home RM30,000 in cash along with prizes totaling RM128,000, all designed to advance their craft and support their journey forward. As Liew Pooi Wan, Head of Marketing at Pernod Ricard Malaysia, says,
“We are proud to see the Martell Noblige Swift Talent Quest evolve into a credible platform that empowers local DJs to dream bigger and push their craft further. Bringing the Surreal World of Martell to this year’s festival allows us to reimagine what nightlife can be – a space shaped by creativity, discovery, and the spirit of going beyond.”
