Grammy-nominated artists and DJs Sultan + Shepard have spent over a decade shaping the global electronic music landscape. Known for their emotive melodic sound and captivating live performances, the duo first rose to prominence through collaborations with icons like Coldplay, Madonna, Ed Sheeran, and David Guetta, securing chart-topping hits and earning worldwide acclaim. Their performances have lit up some of the world’s most celebrated stages, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, and EDC, but recent years mark a creative rebirth. With the Circle in Time Trilogy on Lane 8’s This Never Happened label, Sultan + Shepard have returned to the deeply melodic, emotionally driven house music that first defined them, cementing their place as leaders in the genre’s modern renaissance.

 

 

Beyond the stage, their weekly Dialekt Radio show syndicated to over 67 territories and reaching 24 million listeners each month showcases their passion for pushing musical boundaries and curating the best in melodic and progressive electronic music worldwide.

 

From a serendipitous meeting at a Montreal club in 2002, Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard have forged one of dancemusic’s most compelling partnerships. Their career boasts collaborations with iconic EDM artists such as Dillon Francis and Tiësto, and remixes for global superstars including Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, and Madonna. Their contributions to the electronic music scene have garnered critical acclaim, with highlights including a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording (Bruno Mars' ‘Locked Out Of Heaven’) and two Juno Award nominations for Best Dance Recording.

 

 

In 2021, the duo joined Lane 8's This Never Happened label, marking a musical rebirth shaped by raw emotion, introspection, and a renewed focus on storytelling. This transformative chapter culminates with their latest release, Circle In Time, which encapsulates their stunning trilogy of albums: Something, Everything, Forever, Now, and Endless, Dawn.

 

Renowned for their dynamic energy, intricate production, and emotive storytelling, Sultan + Shepard continue to captivate audiences solidifying themselves as forces to be reckoned with in the progressive and melodic house space. With shows spanning the globe at festivals like Tomorrowland, Ultra, and EDC, their performances promise to deliver the same electrifying magic that has cemented their reputation as one of dance music’s premier acts.

 

On April 17, Sultan + Shepard will bring their new album Communicate to China for the very first time, presenting an exclusive Shanghai show. This time, come with the people who matter most and experience a different kind of dancefloor.
