cinch Presents TRNSMT Festival’s iconic Boogie Bar returns this summer season, giving festival revellers the opportunity to shed their inhibitions and dance into the night to some of Scotland’s biggest up-and-coming DJ acts, from TRNSMT veterans BETH, K4CIE and Dan South, to newcomers Nico Balducci and Frankie Elyse.
After an unforgettable debut last year, The Boogie Bar is back, better than ever, offering an eclectic mix of old-school rave bangers and razor-sharp contemporary beats, there will truly be something for everyone. Dan South is making his cinch presents TRNSMT Festival return, fresh off supporting Kasabian in Aberdeen, he has been a staple in the underground DJ scene since the early noughties, with this year seeing him open the 2022 Boogie Bar, performing a collection of rock-tinged electronica, he is sure to get the crowd on their feet and excited for the day ahead.
Nico Balducci is up next, after releasing mixes on several record labels including Circus, Under No Illusion and Safe Music, the Glaswegian DJ is one of the most exciting up-and-coming artists working today. His reputation precedes him, with legendary live performances already under his belt in such iconic venues as Sub Club, SWG3 and Elrow, he has a busy summer ahead of him performing in Ibiza, London and Manchester. K4CIE follows, on a career-high after winning Best Hip Hop Artist at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards, she is influenced by both the UK and US music scenes, channelling a unique mix of grime and trap beats into her sound, she is an enigma on the scene, and certainly, one to watch. Recently, K4CIE launched her own music studio in Glasgow; 644 Studios, releasing ‘Baby Sky Hook’ in 2021 to plenty of buzz and radio play, landing Track of the Week on BBC Radio 1Xtra.
BETH will close out the day, returning to TRNSMT following her biggest year yet which saw track ‘Check It’ picked up by the BBC, played by Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Jaguar; The Glasgow-based DJ has cemented herself as a regular feature in some of Scotland’s leading venues including SWG3, with a residency in Edinburgh’s Fly Open Air. It’s no surprise BETH’s profile has grown exponentially, as her ability to add production to an already flourishing DJ career makes her stand out, but there’s plenty more to come.
BETH is ecstatic to be back playing on home turf after a string of international appearances, saying “I’m absolutely buzzing to be back at The Boogie Bar this year, especially after an amazing time last year. Expect a lot of house music and also a lot of new music as well! I’ll see you all on the dancefloor!”

Following him will be local showstopper Elisha, with her passion for house and disco, she has a powerful ability to transition through genres and decades in a single set, keeping her audience on their toes. From intimate VIP events to large-scale performances, she’s the go-to girl to get the party started. AISHA is making her highly anticipated return to The Boogie Bar, bringing her intoxicating brand of high-energy techno to the TRNSMT audience. With her residency in Glasgow’s Animal Farm, she is a fast-paced, high-energy performer and has released several EPs on Soma Records and German imprint Drec. Hayley Zalassi is last up on Saturday, a prominent name in Glasgow’s underground music scene, her undeniable stage presence and magnetic energy, paired with her funky, feel-good beats and big vocals, make her a DJ powerhouse.
