Dorian Lauduique and César Laurent de Rummel comprise the globally renowned French DJ duo Ofenbach, taking the electronic music scene by storm. With hits amassing over three billion streams, including chart-toppers like “Wasted Love,” “Head Shoulders Knees & Toes,” “Be Mine,” “Katchi,” and “Hurricane,” they stand as the most streamed French act worldwide. Dominating Croatia’s Shazam charts for months thanks to their megahit “Overdrive,” Ofenbach has been the country’s most sought-after duo. Founded in 2014, they quickly rose to fame, with “Be Mine” hitting the Billboard and various other global charts in 2016. Supported early on by DJ giants Robin Schulz and Tiësto, they performed at the UEFA Europe League Final opening ceremony in Lyon in 2018. Their debut LP, “I,” released in 2022, features a collection of their biggest hits. Late last year, they returned with the new single “Overdrive,” a collaboration with Norma Jean Martin that samples the ’80s hit “Cambodia” by Kim Wilde. In May 2024, Ofenbach is set to bring its unique blend of house, dance, and pop music to the Stella Maris lagoon, ready to electrify the crowd.
Ian Asher, the award-winning young DJ from Los Angeles, has ascended from opening club acts to headlining sold-out venues in less than a year.

His remixes breathe new life into tracks, showcasing his incredible production skills. Throughout his brief yet meteoric career, he’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Mariah Carey, and Justin Bieber. His remix of “Makeba” dominated streaming platforms last year, and he recently released a remix of Brazilian musician Sérgio Mendes’s classic “Mas Que Nada” in collaboration with Oliver Heldens. Ian Asher is set to take over Tesla Main Stage DJ booth, ushering the Sea Star Festival audience into a fiery summer.
