Often we hear that prevailing narrative that Singaporean DJs can’t make it big on the global stage. But every now and then, naysayers are humbled by unexpected stories of success – just like the feel-good tale of Toska. Belgium’s mecca-status festival Tomorrowland has recently revealed its staggering international lineup, and believe it or not, you’ve got a Singaporean name in there. Toska announced his performance slot on the second weekend of Tomorrowland, and whether you’re into mass-appealing electronic music or not, you can’t brush off the historic significance of this big-time victory from a small-city protagonist.

Squint hard enough and you’ll find Toska’s name in there

If you can’t quite put your finger on how you’ve heard the name Toska, let us give you a recap. While still a young-un in the industry – he’s only been making music for three years – Toska drew the scene’s attention back in 2023 when he started throwing his own “Boiler Room-styled” parties, commoditising the renowned concept with his own spin. He would continue the hype with his Toska & Friends series, packing venues with genre-flipping programmes spanning electro house, EDM, jersey club and drum & bass. He’d also use these gigs as a launchpad for his own original productions, giving attendees a glimpse of this future star’s talent.

Following the career trajectories of other homegrown prodigies like Foxela and Myrne (who was the first Singaporean to play Tomorrowland in 2018), Toska possesses a production portfolio that’s impressive. From beastly bass-driven offerings to cuts of deep vocal house, Toska’s range of singles have also charted in Mexico and Portugal. The rising high-flier is also a graduate of the Martin Garrix JBL Music Academy – representing Singapore as one out of 20,000 applicants – where he worked with industry leaders in Amsterdam to sharpen his craft.

So keep tabs on this Singaporean export. Tomorrowland certainly is.
