They run in the same orbit as Matisse & Sadko, Don Diablo, Third Party, 3LAU and Oliver Heldens, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Bassjackers and Bucks Fizz, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
