On March 28th, Dots Bay House brings together two artists who represent distinct but equally powerful house movements: Maqossa and Wildealer, going back-to-back for a special extended session in Sri Lanka.
Representing the Netherlands, Maqossa has built his reputation on groove-led, thumping house rooted in the foundations laid by Chicago and Detroit. His sets blend classic house sensibilities with a distinctly Dutch swing — percussive, driving and designed for full-body movement. Over the years he has played at globally respected institutions including Music On, Burning Man, BPM Festival, Sisyphos, Mysteryland and Loveland Festival.
During the pandemic, a spontaneous illegal photo-studio party evolved into Qlub, now a record label, event series and festival concept under his direction. With appearances from artists like Archie Hamilton and Richy Ahmed, Qlub has grown into a recognisable platform centred on rhythm, community and high-energy dance floors.
Joining him is Thailand’s Wildealer, one of Southeast Asia’s most compelling house exports. A resident at Circoloco Thailand and Baba Loop, Wildealer’s sound fuses Thai-rooted rhythm with international club propulsion — psychedelic touches, rolling basslines and sharp percussive drive. His trajectory has taken him from the Solar Village stage at Wonderfruit Festival to Ibiza institutions like DC-10 and Hï Ibiza, sharing booths with artists such as Seth Troxler and Dennis Cruz.
Opening the night is Sri Lankan artist Sturdy, representing the Sick Leave collective — a crew that has been steadily shaping the country’s underground with raw energy and forward-thinking selections.
This back-to-back brings Dutch groove and Southeast Asian energy into direct dialogue — a night focused on extended transitions, rhythm-led progression and dance floor connection from start to finish.
