Spring in Motion with Foundation Series—Disclosure Sets the Tone, Charlotte De Witte and Peggy Gou Finishes the Journey at Open Radius

By Ryan Hayes

From the very beginning, Blueprint’s Foundation Series has thrived on a simple mission: earn trust, reward curiosity. The flagship house music platform has gradually guided fans toward the deep end, cultivating a welcoming, open-minded community around the genre. Year three of Open Radius, returning May 16-17th, now feels like the clearest expression of that philosophy. If Charlotte de Witte and Peggy Gou serve as the emotional anchors of the weekend, the rest of the lineup shows that confidence runs far deeper than two headliners.

With 22 artists across two days, Open Radius isn’t chasing excess—it’s refining a curated experience. The balance of pressure and play, tension and release, is perfectly executed, with headliners setting the tone and the wider lineup shaping the weekend’s journey.

Find out why Charlotte de Witte and Peggy Gou are a headliner masterstroke. To read my extensive piece of Charlotte De Witte and Peggy Gou’s impact at Foundation, click here.

Day One Preview Highlights:

Eli Brown stands out immediately. His industrial, high-octane techno sits perfectly in Charlotte’s world. With dark, driving basslines and the relentless pacing of tracks like Be The One and Diamonds On My Mind, he is the ideal primer for De Witte.

The energy continues with Layton Giordani, whose collaboration with Eli Brown, When I Push, is another techno masterclass—seamlessly anchoring the day’s soundscape.

Playing off Giordani’s more melodic, progressive edge, Salute brings a fast-moving, emotionally charged sense of euphoric energy to his headlining spot at the Propagate Stage. One of the most exciting bookings on the entire lineup, Salute deviates from the expected, delivering a unique flavor of UK garage, house, and festival-ready energy—it’s time to let a new artist sneak up on you, because his tempo and groove may end up defining your weekend.

Further down the bill, 49th & Main offer texture and variation, bringing a live-leaning, indie-dance crossover feel that adds a different emotional tone to day one. Their genre-fluid, atmospheric house acts as a palate cleanser from the heavier techno styling of the night.

Day Two Preview Highlights:

If day one’s programming largely leans into pressure, day two playfully opens things up. Prospa B2B Josh Baker is a groove forward pairing—two artists dialed into the modern global house movement with an ear for rhythm-first selections. Their collaboration represents a push and pull between classic rave sensibilities and minimal-house groove. Together the forgo the stereotypical rise and fall of mainstream acts favouring a steady, hypnotic climb that keeps crowds locked in a state of constant motion. A spot-on pairing for open duties leading in to Peggy’s infectious sense of joy.

Max Styler & Omar+ are set to sink everyone into the vibe, lift the energy, and get day two flowing. Styler’s recent run of groove-forward, tech-leaning house productions (Every Night, You & Me, & One More) have positioned him as one of the scenes most reliable crossover acts right now. Most importantly—he is undeniably effective in a festival setting. Omar+ is the tone-setter for the night crafting a steady rhythm empowered by nuance. Dail in with Back of the Club, Open Your Eyes, & Back It Up.

If you’re looking for a splash of Euro energy at a higher BPM MALUGI has you covered at the Propagate stage. Progressive, playful, and laden with hooks he brings just the right amount of mainstream energy while maintaining— well earned—underground club sensibilities.

This year Open Radius feels extremely intentional. The Propagate stage has taken a massive step forward in curation and artistry. There is no filler. Every artist has a role, and that is exactly what you want to see at a Foundation Series branded event.

Setting the Tone: Disclosure Returns

Before Open Radius even kicks off, Disclosure are bringing a DJ set to the PNE Forum on April 18th, alongside AYYBO and bushbaby. The duo needs little introduction, at this point their status proceeds them and this one is a guaranteed sell out.

Disclosure were a personal defining act of FVDED 2025—their set was effortless, groove-driven, and deeply communal. Their latest single, The Sun Comes Up Tremendous is a breath of fresh air in the dreary rainy months. Light, effervescent, and oozing warmth it feels destined for heavy summer rotation.

Show up early for AYYBO, a self-taught Tik-Tok era producer packing dark-driving tech house that he artfully infuses splashy playful hooks.

As a prelude to Open Radius, Disclosure feel perfectly at home, and it is surprising it has taken 13.5 outings to bring them into the Foundation fold.

Over three years in and Foundation Series is Blueprints most consistent brand. Built on mutual trust and a loyal fanbase of growing house fans it guides you in, then let you discover the rest. Disclosure & Open Radius are the perfect one two punch to get springtime moving.
