Globally renowned brand and the team behind our beloved Saturday night residency, ANTS, is searching for the next big talent in electronic music. The ANTS: NEXT GEN artist program 2026 is dedicated to championing emerging producers from across the world. Now in its fourth year, ANTS: NEXT GEN is a key platform for discovering new artists and offering them a pathway from the underground to the global stage.
The winner will earn a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform for ANTS at Ushuaïa Ibiza on 19 September 2026, stepping onto one of the most influential stages in global club culture. They’ll also receive a support package from Ableton, AlphaTheta, and SoundCloud, a dedicated feature in DJ Mag, alongside a full marketing rollout across ANTS channels and a takeover of the official ANTS playlist.
Last year, DARKHORSE and Grouse won out of 1500 entrants with a carefully crafted collaborative mix. As winners, the Sydney-based DJs stepped out onto our world famous open-air stage for a spellbinding performance last season.
To enter in 2026, submit a 45–60 minute mix composed entirely of original productions, reflecting the distinctive ANTS house and tech house vibe.
The Colony awaits.
