While EDC New York is taking place over at MetLife Stadium, Mysteryland's U.S. debut will be a little different; it will be held at New York's Bethel Woods, aka the site of the 1969 Woodstock festival. Talk about properly bridging the hippie/EDM aesthetics. Mysteryland is a huge hit overseas, and looks to be dropping their take on the festival experience right in our laps. Competition is fierce, but they've made sure that a grip of talented acts are on the bill, with an interesting array of special tents and side stages to boot. We've picked 10 acts that jumped out to us on the lineup, and we hope that if you made Mysteryland your choice, you get all that you bargained for.

Oliver Heldens

Not Available Interstitial

When are they playing?: Saturday, May 24 (2PM - 3PM), Main Stage

Heldens is another young Dutch producers that's making his name in the EDM scene these days. Something about his style that has us interested. He's fresh enough to get snapped up pretty quickly by Spinnin Records, but he also offers a deeper sound. It's big house music, but has a way of getting under your skin, really grooving you. He's already remixed "Animals" and had tunes signed to Tiesto's Musical Freedom. See what the fuss is NOW before he's a real problem.

Jeremy Olander & Fehrplay

When are they playing?: Sunday, May 25 (3PM - 4:30PM), Sunday School (The Big Top)

Dope solo DJ/producers in their own right, these two Pryda Friends know how to rock a party. They've toured on their own and with their big homey across North America, and are set to attack the Big Top during the Sunday School mini-fest on Sunday! Should be a real treat, especially if you like your house progressive.

Ryan Crosson

When are they playing?: Saturday, May 24 - Sunday School (Spiegeltent)

Saturday's Spiegeltent is hosted by the Visionquest camp, so alongside Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Eric Volta, and company you'll find Crosson bringing a brilliant array of house and tech vibes. He has a keen ear and a great selection of gems, trust.

Lindsay Lowend

When are they playing?: Saturday, May 24 (2PM - 3PM), The Boat

DC's Lindsay Lowend has been a staple of our playlists since we caught wind of his Symbols EP, Wind Fish. He has a unique style of production, and while he wears his influences on his sleeve as a producer, his sets are even more diverse. Could be one of the more feel-good sets of your weekend... and 2014.

Josh Wink

When are they playing?: Saturday, May 24 (11PM - 1AM), Sunday School (Vinyl Only)

Josh Wink is an American electronic music legend. This Philly boy will be hitting the Vinyl Only stage for what will be a special two-hour, 20 year anniversary set for his beloved Ovum imprint. It's a sound that will provide house that's soulful and techno that's intriguing. Not one to miss!

Dillstradamus

When are they playing?: Sunday, May 25 (1AM - 2AM), The Boat

While Dillon Francis and Flosstradamus are scheduled to drop their own unique sets, it'll be dope to see what magic they provide when aligning as Dillstradamus. Most might classify them by their huge trap leanings, but we have a feeling this set will be more than a gang of 808s for an hour. Plus, all three of these guys love having fun. Be ready for anything.

Justin Martin

When are they playing?: Sunday, May 25 (7PM - 8:30PM), Sunday School (Spiegeltent)

You HAVE to have some dirtybird if you're at a festival. Justin Martin's bass-fueled 90-minute set is going to be a highlight, no doubt. Don't even try to front - you need this in your life!

Crizzly

Not Available Interstitial

When are they playing?: Sunday, May 25 (7:30PM - 8:30PM), The Boat

Young Crizzly has been someone we've championed since we went live, and since then he's taken his talents to festivals all over the U.S., bringing his crunkstep sound with him whenever he touches down. For that proper blend of bass music and hip-hop, don't look any further!

Moby

Not Available Interstitial

When are they playing?: Sunday, May 25 (10PM - 11:30PM), Main Stage

Moby's a legend; he's done so much for the electronic music scene, and has gone from being influenced by dance music producers before him to incorporating more instruments into his sound. We're not sure what his main stage, but word is he actually asked to play the festival, so we have a feeling it'll be something special.
