DJ Record, in his capacity as DJ, music lover, and firm believer in turn-tabling has developed to a Globetrotter since his early life. Every week, with his roots in Hip Hop and Rap, he shows with his painstaking played sets that music cannot be categorized in genres anymore. Hardly any other DJ is able to play music this widely varied without losing his “Drive”. That is why his discography sounds like a detailed preface of a best-selling book and that is also the reason why every club books him constantly. He is not only known for his reliability and as a huge advocate for excessive party nights but these attitudes also opened him many opportunities to play in some of the most popular and biggest clubs in Germany. But DJ Record would not be himself, not this successful, and probably not a permanent member of the much renowned “INVADERS Crew Europe” if he was satisfied with his accomplishments and if he was resting on his laurels. His route, just like his sets, is always straight forward. And all that without being out of touch with reality.

Mike Väth, Durchstarter der Clubkultur 2010, haucht einem ordentlichen Schuss feinster technoider Töne und einem Mega-Liveact neues Leben ein. Als Frankfurter Original erlebt er die elektronische Musik und deren Veränderung in der Szene und versteht exzellent etwas davon, was guter Techno ist; auch durch die Verbindung zu seinem Bruder Sven Väth (ohne jemals seinem Fahrwasser gewesen zu sein), mit dem er zu Omens Zeiten lieber tanzend vor den Decks abgefeiert hat. Mit René Walliczek und Paul Schulte, bildet er 1999 – 2000 erstmals mit einen Live Act: „Das Mike Väth Project“. Erst nach Schließung des legendären Omen Club im Jahre 1999 entdeckt Mike die Plattenteller für sich. Nachdem er beim "We are Punks on the Beach"-Festival das Publikum ekstatisch und am Rande der Erschöpfung zurücklässt, bietet ihm Datapunk-Labelchef Anthony Rother spontan einen Handschlag-Deal an. Mittlerweile in Zürich lebend, feiert er große Erfolge. Mit seinem eigenen Label "Gon Records/Zürich" ist eine neue elektronische Ära geboren. Er ist, wie sein treibend unverkennbarer Sound -in seinem Stil groovig, minimal, technoid, seinem Publikum immer angepasst- nicht mehr zu stoppen und als „Club-Artist hinter den Decks, –immer noch tanzend-, kaum mehr zu toppen! Mittlerweile Resident des U60311, beschert er nationalen sowie Internationalen Clubs mit hypnotisierenden digitalen Drums & Beats, einer ständig einzigartigen Performance und mit seinen Liveacts immer wieder schweißtreibende Nächte.

"THOSE people think that I´m a blonde "Barbie" doll, who is trying her hand at DJing; THEY´re the ones who will leave as soon as they get to the entrance because it is too loud for them." It´s true that Anna Reusch does not fit the stereotypical cliché of what it takes to be a serious act on the Techno music scene – she´s young, blonde, a model – basta! However what THEY don´t know is that at just 14 Anna was using the stereo in her father´s rehearsal room so she could listen to her particular style of music. Having tried and failed to play guitar, drums and piano Anna thought she would just have to settle for listening to music, but at 16 she met a DJ who luckily spotted her talent and technique for recognising the beat and At 17 the newcomer was performing as support act on the "Härtegrad Clubnacht" and it didn´t take long before she signed her first recording deal. However, at 18 whilst still at school but also touring throughout Germany Anna decided to throw in the towel as it was all getting a bit too much. Another 3 years passed before she could properly interpret the feeling of itchy fingers which she had been experiencing once in a while, especially when she was out clubbing. At the end of 2008 Anna decided that she would now concentrate on music and she started to learn. The proper teachers, e.g. George Perry and Peter Latino, who were milestones in the Frankfurt music scene, pointed her in the right direction and opened doors to a previously unknown world : the Techhouse/Techno scene. Driving beats and dramatic arrangements aroused her euphoric listeners and really left an impression. Gig after gig she was able to refine her technique and track by track her style emerged for phatt basslines mixed with dry but grooving melodic beats. She succeeds in her goal to get the crowd to "come with me on a trip of pumpin´ electronic music". During 2009 Anna Reusch was able to play a number of great clubs giving her a very respectable list of references, amongst which were U60311 in Frankfurt, Loft in Ludwigshafen, Elektroküche in Cologne, Club Q in Zurich and Festivals such as Summerwave and Nature One. She surprises her listeners with passion, technique and flair. Prejudices are now passé. Her first music productions are in the making – something to look forward to!

Wer in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten in Deutschland in der elektronischen Tanzmusik unterwegs war, ist an Harry Nash garantiert nicht vorbei gekommen. Harry Nash ist gleichzusetzen mit der Legende unter den Afterhours in Deutschland - die Toy Afterhour in Stuttgart. Harry Nash gehört zu den Menschen, die Geschichte geschrieben haben und deren Name Programm ist. Die Toy Afterhour hat über die letzten zwei Jahrzehnte jedes Wochenende pro Tag runde 500 Gäste rein durch Local DJs angezogen, an Feiertagen oder mit spontan eingeladenen Top Acts wie Chris Liebing wurden es weit über 1000. Anfang der 80er Jahre steht Harry das erste Mal in einem Club hinter den Decks. Nicht etwa, weil er einen Traum hatte und täglich stundenlang dafür geübt hätte, sondern weil er eben Kühn heisst und genau das auch eine seiner wegweisenden Charaktereigenschaften ist. Zwei Stunden vor seinem Debüt erhält er eine Einweisung wie Plattenspieler und Mixer funktionieren. Sein Gefühl für die richtige Platte zum richtigen Zeitpunkt retten ihn über die erste Nacht und wird zu einem weiteren Markenzeichen. Bis 1993 spielt Harry Nash mit unterschiedlichsten Künstlernamen wie beispielsweise Harry Hawai in vielen Clubs in Baden-Württemberg, u.a. hatte er auch als einziger weißer DJ eine Residency in einem Club mit ausschließlich farbigem Publikum, was sein musikalisches Können beeindruckend unter Beweis stellte. Bis zum Sommer 1993 war Harry Leitmotiv: Wunschtraum: 8 Wochen Hawai – Albtraum: 8 Stunden Techno. Die Tribal Gathering in München und das Set des Stuttgarter Kollegen Marco Zaffarano änderten sozusagen über Nacht das komplette Umfeld: Innerhalb kürzester Zeit mixte Harry unter dem Namen H-Ray so manchen Kollegen an die Wand, spielte als einer der ersten mit drei Decks und entdeckte seine Vorliebe für Afterhours. Das Trance in Stuttgart war seine erste Afterhour-Station, nach dessen Schließung zog er 1994 ins Roxy um, was nach dem Umbau 1996 in Toy umbenannt wurde. Rechnet man seine Afterhour-Playtimes über die letzten zwei Jahrzehnte zusammen, wäre er sicher Inhaber diverser Weltmeister Titel. Trotzdem Harry Nash nur ausgewählte Gigs auf Festivals oder Clubs neben den Afterhours wahrnehmen konnte und bisher keine eigenen Produktionen veröffentlicht hat, hat er weit über die deutschen Grenzen hinweg eine Fanbase erarbeitet, die sonst nur internationale Acts erreicht haben. Der Respekt und die Treue seiner Fanbase wie auch seiner Kollegen basiert auf den ureigenen Charaktereigenschaften von Harry Nash: Mut und Neugier für Neues, Leidenschaft für die Musik und die Künstler, sein Gefühl für die Crowd auf dem Floor und Bescheidenheit zur eigenen Person. Mancher internationale Top Act hat im Toy als Newcomer angefangen und spielte sich unter Harry Nashs Fittiche aus der Heimat raus. Er zählte zu den ersten in Stuttgart, die auf ein digitales Setup umgestiegen sind, die Möglichkeiten intensiv nutzen, mit einer Symbiose aus mehreren Jahrzehnten Musikgeschichte und neusten Undergroundsounds die Crowd zu jeder Uhrzeit rockt und heute zu den besten Electronic Music Artists zählt. Das Ende der Toy Afterhour bedeutet aber garantiert keinen Abschied von Harry Nash. Ganz im Gegenteil: Jetzt erst recht! Im Sommer 2013 stehen die Zeichen auf Ruhe vor dem Sturm und Beginn einer neuen Zeitrechnung. Und die läuft fast forward Richtung 30 Jahre Harry Nash. Stay tuned – you’ll be flashed!

The YellowHeads was formed by two musicians who quickly discovered a key common denominator that unites them: a strong passion for music. What came next was a merging of their styles, different but parallel, as their musical roots come from the same place, and they formed the duo The YellowHeads.

Für ein Stück Lebensfreude und Befriedigung in dem langweiligen anderen Leben ! Eine Weisheit von der PLACEBA!!!!ThXXXXX...Wenn wir nicht Gestorben sind...dann Feiern wir noch heute...TOY/ in ist----wer drin ist!!!!Als charakteristisch für Afterhours gilt eine besondere Ausgelassenheit, häufigere körperliche Nähe und intensivere Kommunikation als auf anderen Techno-Veranstaltungen. Auf Grund erhöhter körperlicher Belastungen der meisten Gäste während der vergangenen Nacht, wird zudem weniger Wert auf Outfit und äußere Erscheinung gelegt. Da die Partys meist nach einer längeren Nacht tagsüber in verdunkelten Techno-Clubs stattfinden und teilweise bis in die folgende Nacht andauern, wird das Zeitgefühl der Besucher oft beeinträchtigt.

When Lukas started visiting Techno parties at the end of 2008 he directly knew that this sound would take a big part in his life…after one year PARTY PARTY PARTY he felt that it wouldn´t be enough only to celebrate the techno sound…HE WANTED TO MAKE IT ON HIS OWN!!!! With a small controller which was a present by a friend he started to learn every day and realized very soon that he has got some kind of talent… for earning more skills he decided to buy some used and old cd-players on ebay…with success!!!! His first sets in the Butan Club Wuppertal at the beginning of 2011 were mixed this way. Starting with Minimal his sound became harder and harder until today….now it´s real banging Techno sound. In summer 2011 he began his first producer steps and a few weeks later he joined the internet radio "Bunker TV". His first release has been in february 2012 on "Berlin Aufnahmen"… other releases with more and more banging Techno sound followed on labels like "Subwoofer Records", "Sound of Techno" or "HitMusik"… some kind of honor was the publication of the track "Dark Space" by Philipp Centro and Lukas Freudenberger on "BassTech Vol.2"…a Mix CD by Torsten Kanzler! In spring 2013 he bacame member of Mike Maass´Black Circus Crew!

Audiomotor is the alias of the ´94 born young and uprising artist Lucas Haarmann. Lucas has been in love with music his whole life and before he discovered techno at the age of 15, he played in bands of various genres from punk to death metal and had been producing music since he was 14. He started the project Audiomotor together with a friend back in 2010 and has been in love with techno ever since. Soon they played their first gigs and until 2013, they already had played in clubs such as the Palazzo in Bingen, the U60311 in Frankfurt or the Butan in Wuppertal. In 2012 they found their musical home with their residency at Vollgaaas Entertainment in Wiesbaden and in the fall of 2012 they also started releasing their own productions and remixes on labels such as Brachial Kontakt and Sound of Techno. In late 2013 Dennis and Lucas split up and Lucas continued Audiomotor as his solo project. He then joined the Black Circus, an uprising Event & Booking Agency and is now working on the further development of his sound which is best described as driving, atmospheric and emotional.

DIE FASZINATION VON ELEKTRONISCHER MUSIK Marco Bastone verbindet nicht nur die Leidenschaft zu anspruchsvoller Musik auf höchstem Niveau, die sowohl Partypeople als auch jung gebliebene in ihren Bann zieht. Mit viel Gespür für die Crowd und der richtigen Platte zum passendem Zeitpunkt beweist er immer wieder auf´s neue sein Feeling für gute Musik. Seine Bandbreite enthält neben klassischen House, Deep & Tech House, des öfteren Einflüsse aus Südamerikanischen, Afrikanischen & Orientalischen Elementen, welche unabhängig vom Alter oder Musikalischem Geschmack immer wieder Begeisterung auslöst. Das ist nicht nur seiner 15 Jährigem DJ Erfahrung zu verdanken, sondern besonders seiner Offenheit auch anderen Musik Genres gegenüber. So kann es auch passieren, dass er einen Abend mit jazzigen Klängen beginnen lässt und über Latin eine Brücke zu Soul und Funk bauen wird, um dann ein paar Klassiker zu servieren. "Du bist was du warst und wirst sein was du tust!! Musik drückt aus, was nicht gesagt werden kann und worüber es unmöglich ist zu schweigen..."

Die Stuttgarterin überzeugt mit innovativen Sound & treibenden Sets, welche sie in zahlreichen Club-Dates in Stuttgart, so wie überregional mit Liebe zum Detail zum Besten gibt. Ihre Gigs sind ein Garant für elektronische Musik mit ungeahnter Bandbreite, wo sie mit rollenden Beats und weiblichen Charme punktet. Zwischen Tech House, Deep House und Techno jongliert sie souverän durch die verschiedenen Genres und spielte sich so in kürzester Zeit in Clubs wie z.B. das "Climax", "Stereo","Finca", "Hype", "Zapata", "Zollamt" oder "Toy" und so nicht zuletzt in die Herzen des Publikums. Mit ihrer langjährigen Leidenschaft für elektronische Klänge und Freude am Auflegen, bringt sie in jeden Club eine geballte Power "Meow"!

(Shake it right)" kletterte auf #4 der Deutschen Black Charts und das in Tampa/Florida gedrehte Video zur Single schaffte über 10.000 Views auf Youtube in den ersten 24h.Dj Rapture´s Sound ist sehr vom amerikanischen Süden geprägt: harte Bässe, catchy Melodien und eingängige Refrains sind das Markenzeichen.

More and more the world of dance music is changing every year; it is complemented by new names, new characters, new styles and trends. In this impetuous flow it is very important for an artist not to lose the guiding line that once was a start of a wonderful DJ’s and sound producer’s life. Precisely this distinguishes Spartaque among many names, and his name has been a matter of respect and admiration for hundreds and thousands of clubbers and other artists for many years. It does not matter which city, which time zone, who are the people around him and what language they speak, what time of a day, has Vitalii slept before or has been awake waiting for his flight, he will come to the DJ place and perform his set as if it is the best party of his life. Exactly for this quality, for this shine in his eyes and for this true energy lovers of club music are waiting for his performances. Perhaps that is why Vitalii has one of the most busy tour schedules of all DJs of the CIS. And certainly this is the reason for full dance floors on his parties. Back in 2007 the unknown Spartaque first gained access to the big stage, performing at the first major festival in Ukraine - Global Gathering. Having conquered the audience with his energy, he became a resident of this event, every year delighting people with his explosive sets. And this festival was not the only one for him - people at such iconic events like Love Parade, Kazantip, MayDay, and many other big events on both sides of the Atlantic could see personally that Spartaque knows his onions, as he leaves a piece of himself on the dance floor every time! But don´t forget that the real success has many components, and it is influenced by many factors. It´s not a secret that one of the most important elements of an artist’s popularity, and in particular a DJ, is his regular podcasts and radio shows. Spartaque succeeded in this - Supreme radio show first appeared on the radio station in 2007 on the waves of Kiss FM, at that time a cult radio station not only in Ukraine but also in the CIS. It has become a guide to the world of Minimal Techno for true dance music lovers in the post-Soviet territory. Years were passing, popularity was increasing - in 2009-2010 Supreme became the best mix show in Ukraine according to TOPDJ.UA. Since 2011, this nomination has been removed from the list, but it does not prevent the podcast in gaining its popularity. Supreme by Spartaque has been holding his position as the most demanded radio show about the techno culture in the CIS for the past 5 years according to the results of a prestigious interactive rating PromoDJ.ru. Its army of fans is growing around the world and since 2012 it has got into the distribution network Syndicast UK - the world´s leading provider of techno podcasts from Britain, whose clients are such icons of the genre, as Carl Cox, Umek, Marco Bailey and many other prominent DJs. Also in 2012 mix show changed Ukrainian production on the British, and jingles for podcast since then has been recorded by some of the best English-speaking voices of our time. Currently Supreme is a real machine, locomotive, carrying the unrestrainable energy to techno fans from all corners of our planet. More than 50 radio stations from around the world are rotating Spartaque´s shows on their waves. Performed podcast has about 10,000 listeners using various resources in the first day after downloading to the network. But most important is the fact that, regardless of how the trends are changing, each Supreme from the first to the most recent episode has always its traditional feature - the uncompromising selection of the tracks for the show. Perhaps the principle that each episode should contain the freshest and most qualitative material has become a key moment in the rapid popularization of the podcast and continues to lead it and its creator to conquer new heights. An important point in the development of any DJ is the fact of composing music. We have passed the time when these two professions were separate, and now an electronic musician without DJing and a DJ without his own tracks and remixes simply can´t exist. Many DJs, realizing this fact, grabbed their sequencers in panic. Spartaque´s situation was exactly the opposite. “When I was 15-17 years old, I just wanted to compose music and be an electronic musician, occasionally performing at venues. And only when I was 18 I realized that I can feed myself working in this area, if I start DJing. That is how a career of DJ Spartaque has begun", - says Vitalii in one of his interviews. Indeed, being completely unknown, but very ambitious young artist, writing his own tracks brought a lot more fun than walking with friends and flirting with peers. Friends, sometimes, even against their will were compulsory critics and listeners of extremely many-sided Vitalii’s art, who was scattering them the cassettes with another new track, written earlier in the morning. Nevertheless the dream of becoming popular seemed distant, until one cold November day in far 2005, Vitalii had received a call from the CEO of the largest company in the Ukrainian club culture Virus Music, Dmitry Feliksov. It was a proposal to release the track “PassWord” on the disk TOPHIT TOPDJ, as well as a recommendation to come to Kiev from Kharkov in order to shape the track up in a regular studio office. It is not necessary to explain how much remarkable event was the very first trip to Kiev for a 19-years old Spartaque. Very difficult to express in word those emotions experienced by the musician, holding the official CD with his work released for the first time. Over the years much has changed: now Spartaque has more than 300 releases on 80 labels, remixes for the world´s top artists, including the legendary Moby, 3 own labels behind and the preparation of the new one. It is not so much free time to catch a muse, as much more time is needed to spend on management than on creativity, hereby the board of aircraft has become the main place of writing tracks. But the most important is remained, and this is the sincere belief that the DJ is, first and foremost, a musician. Touching upon the labels, it should be noted that in 2008 thanks to DJ Bruno and Spartaque, Ukraine saw the first independent imprint Perfect Groove Foundation. At that time it became the real breakthrough and the stronghold for slightly inexperienced performers of Ukrainian dance scene. The experience gained while working with this experiment, which lasted for a year, became invaluable for Spartaque. After a couple of years together with Egor Boss an exceptional idea to create a new label had arisen, and the decision to tie it up to the festival “I AM TECHNO” was collectively made. At the same time one of the most recognizable logos had been created, which became the symbol of Techno music for many on the territory of the former Soviet Union, and far beyond its borders. After successful festivals, series of parties in the popular Kiev club Forsage had been organized, that consequently became a cult franchise. At the moment, active preparations to launch another label together with indefatigable Ukrainian sound producer Konstantin Yoodza are conducted, which aims to actively promote commercial techno sound involving a wider audience in this culture. During his active work Spartaque was many times awarded and nominated for various prizes rated TOPDJ.UA: 2007 - Breakthrough of the Year rated TOPDJ.UA and victory in Kharkov in the top DJ´s competition Jeans DJ Parade; 2008 - third place in the category of "DJ" and first place in the category "Track of the Year"; 2009 - first in the nomination "DJ", the first and second place in the category "Track of the Year", the first place in the nomination "RadioShow"; 2010 - first in the nomination "DJ", nomination "Track of the year" Kiss FM Awards and the first place in the nomination "RadioShow"; 2011 - first in the nomination "DJ", as well as in the category "Techno" rating SHOWBIZA.NET. Situation repeats in 2012: Spartaque again reaches the highest grade in the ranking TOPDJ.UA. For four years in a raw holding the first place in the ranking TOPDJ, in 2013 Vitalii yields it to a worthy opponent - Omnia, taking second place in the nomination "DJ". But he confidently maintains his leadership position in the interactive rating PromoDJ.Com, entering the top five leaders of CIS countries for the past 5 years. During Spartaque’s career his name has been overgrown with interesting stories and legends, retelling which would have taken several chapters or even an entire book. However the essence remains the same - it´s hard to imagine the club culture of CIS countries and the world techno without this performer. So ambitiously started his way with a performance in front of 30 thousandth audience in the central square of his native town Kharkiv in 2005, Spartaque goes forward, following his main principles - to increase the speed constantly, not to be afraid of daring ideas, to set unachievable goals and to reach them without noticing the obstacles. And of course be incredibly grateful to those who appreciate his creative work and support his undertakings, as without this support nothing would exist.

Kerosine Machine Willkommen beim Härtegrad 1.000 der elektronischen Musik, willkommen in der Welt des Meisters mit der großen Keule: Sebastian Groth. Der DJ und Produzent ist unter anderem Labelbetreiber des 2009 gegründeten Labels ReWashed LDT, einer der Hauptadressen für derben Techno, Darktechno und freakigen Ghetto-Style. Gekonnt gleitet er in seinen Sets zwischen humorvollen Intros mit verrückten Vocals aus alten Filmen und brachialer Musik am Rand des Wahnsinns hin und her. Es ist dieser Hang zum DJ als wahrem Entertainer mit Kontakt zur Menge, einem Lächeln im Gesicht und einer leicht ironischen Haltung zu seinem eigenen Wirken, den Sebastian auszeichnet. Als Remixer und Produzent hat sich der gebürtige Hachenburger (Westerwald) seit seiner ersten eigenen Release 2008 einen Namen als Workaholic gemacht. Unzählige Veröffentlichungen auf Italo Business, Naked Lunch, Elektrax, Construct Rhythm, TK-Rec, Masters of Disaster und vielen weiteren sowie Remixes für Künstler wie Angy Kore, Niereich, A. Paul, Dave the Drummer, Frank Kvitta, Viper XXL oder Arkus P lesen sich wie das Who is Who der obersten Liga. Und so verwundert es nicht, dass er beim Partysan Award „Newcomer 2013“ Platz 7 und mit seinem Grindfactor Bootleg zu Radio Slaves Grindhouse im Dubfire Remix Platz 9 beim Faze Jahrespoll „Bester Remix“ belegte (höchst platzierter Techno Track). Mit seinem zweiten Album „Pounding“, das im Frühjahr 2014 erscheint, zeigt er außerdem, dass seine Art von Darktechno ganz unterschiedliche Facetten hat und damit ein breites Publikum anspricht. Dabei fing alles viel seichter an, als Sebastian direkt mit seinem ersten Release in den Beatport All Over Top 5 landete und House-Legende George Morel auf ihn aufmerksam wurde und unter Vertrag nahm. Heraus kam ein Techno-Remix des 1993er House-Klassikers „Let’s Groove“ von George Morel. Seitdem hat sich vieles verändert in seinem Leben, aber eines ist geblieben: Sebastians Herz schlägt 130 BPM und schneller. Text von Martin Camphausen

At an early age he started to listen driving electronic music and celebrated it at festivals like Time Warp, Syndicate or Nature One.With young 14 years GINGAT started to realise his own ideas inspired by variables such as DJ Rush, Chris Liebing and Carl Cox with music production Softwares like FL Studio. He discovered a dark, driving force in techno music which was built by the A-Brothers and Niereich in their tracks in early 2010. Suddenly he changed his style and was living the scene with full of passion and began his own sets to mix and thus its own flavor to give the people dancing. In short time GINGAT played in all the clubs in the Rhein-Neckar district, with techno stars such as: A-Brothers, De Hessejung or Silvano Scarpetta at events for electronic music. 2013 he started to produce his own techno tracks with Ableton, Fruity Loops and Publish.

“Stockholm-based Mikael Jonasson is a long serving DJ and producer who continues to push the boundaries of modern club music with his amazingly crafted, rather rare techno productions. With recent releases on labels like Drumcode, Figure, Octopus Recordings and Phobiq, Mikael has earned the support and attention from the key players all around the globe. With a busy schedule of gigs all around Europe, including several stops at legendary Berghain in Berlin, Mikael have had the pleasure of sharing stage with talented colleagues such as Adam Beyer, Len Faki and Joseph Capriati. Starting out as a drummer in early years, attending municipal music education, led to the later interest in electronic music. Being a part of the Swedish rave culture in the late 90´s, Mikael started to collect pretty much every analogue synthesizer he could afford. What started out as experimental sounds evolved and matured over the years into music, and back in 1999, Mikael´s first vinyl was released. Hard struggle in the studio and behind the decks, in combination with being a highly sought after producer in the international techno-scene, has resulted in a variety of high quality releases topping the techno charts over a significant period of time. At the moment Mikael continues to build his own intricate sound, characterised by expert sound design and his attention to details. Heavy supported by fans, radio-stations and DJs around the globe, Mikael´s journey continues. Artistry through techno, 2014 style.”

Hours seeks input from a broad range of music to inspire his own twisted and progressive creations. His unique style and taste range across groovy ambient sounds, house tunes right into heavy techno. Still, the biggest impact on his vision for electronic music was the hell hole called Club Prag on the outskirts of the German city Stuttgart, where he started clubbing in his late teens, started DJing in 2009 and and is now known as the infamous “Lehmann Club”, located at the heart of South German Motor City, where he has been a resident since 2010. Releasing hardcore punk records back in 2010 and 2011, the German producer looked forward to expand his musical horizon and started HOURS in 2012, a project dedicated to atmospheric electronic music with plenty of raw textures and grooves. Throughout this time he produced, mixed and mastered countless underground records for various German bands and artists, ranging from Hip-Hop to Death Metal. After refining his sound for over two years, he finally released his debut on Driving Forces Recordings and followed it up with an EP for London based 2651 Records in 2014. Right now this ambitious young fellow is preparing even more material to be released in 2015. Asked if this broad in- and output of such diverse musical influence could have any adverse effects on his own material, his usual answer will be: “I don’t think so. For me, it’s just music. There is a time and place for anything. If I showed you the parallels between a great techno tune and a really underground sludge metal record, you’d be more than surprised…“

Born in 1984, Mike and Raffy discovered electronic music in the year 2000. Soon after, they began following the Italian nightlife and attending the most important european festivals such as “I Love Techno” in Belgium and “Timewarp” in Germany. During those trips abroad they discovered the magical feeling between Djs and their crowds. Growing up, they started to open up to new sounds, especially the ones created by techno guru Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman. Mike and Raffy radically changed their musical tastes: their current style is minimal techno with detroit and tech-house influences. Thanks to their skills and love for music, Mike and Raffy went on to play at several important clubs in Italy. In 2006 a new project came to life: MINICOOLBOYZ Michele and Raffaele began playing back2back, trying to find out new sounds and styles ranging form acid sounds and the hardest grooves. Their career started in various italian clubs and their first tracks immediately received great feedbacks from Italian and international Dj’s, charting at the top of Beatport’s Chart. In October 2008, Richie Hawtin chose one of their remix for his compilation CD “Sounds from Can Elles”, available worldwide with DJ Mag and later released on his Label “Minus” (www.mnus.com/can_elles ): “Varese ist leer” is one of the highlights of the album, its sales peaking on charts all over the world and remaining in the Top Ten most requested Techno songs for a long time. Beatport brands them “Richie Hawtin’s Prodigies” (www.beatportal.com/feed/item/meet-can-elles-producers-richie-hawtins-prodigies/ ) Dubfire calls them: “The future stars of electronic music!” and signs two of their tracks to his label Sci+Tec Digital Audio (www.beatportal.com/feed/item/future-stars-of-electronic-music/ ). Releases followed on acclaimed labels such as SCI+TEC Digital Audio, Saved Records, Octopus, Bitten, Terminal M, Kling Klong, Great Stuff, MBF and many more, and gigs were booked at some of the most important clubs in Europe and festivals such as Watergate, Weekend, Heineken Balaton Sound, Igloofest, Electrovenice. MINICOOLBOYZ are currently focusing on a vinyl only special project called Triptych, and an ep is set to be released on Carl Cox’s Intec Digital imprint. MiniCoolBoyz have been at the forefront of the Italian and European Techno and Minimal scenes for quite some time now: since their smash hit remix featured on the Minus compilation “Sounds From Can Elles”, the duo have consistently released outstanding music on a series of revered labels. Branded by Beatport “Richie Hawtin’s prodigies”, Michele and Raffaele have seen their tracks constantly played and supported by Hawtin himself and by the biggest names in the games. The impressive list of labels they’ve had their music released on is almost endless: INTEC, MINUS, SCI+TEC, SAVED, ANALYTICTRAIL, TERMINAL M. and many more. In 2009, they founded Amazing Records, their own label to use as a platform for their projects and to launch the career of fellow young and upcoming producers. Now in its 5th year, it has seen acclaimed names and it has gained enthusiastic and positive feedback from most Djs. 2009 was a landmark year for MiniCoolBoyz: all the top djs of the techno and tech house world play their tracks, most notably Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn and many others. From October 2014 onwards, they have embarked on a new adventure, choosing a brand new name for themselves: Many Reasons. A bold move and step forward for the Italian duo which will see them take their career to the next level, creating their new Techno language from old school vibes mixed with new sound horizons, in a unique personal style. Dark and deep atmospheres create the ambience for a more intricate mood, where complex sound landscapes grab the listeners’ attention, bringing the club experience to another dimension.

Mitte 2009 erblickte unser neues Projekt "Mischkonsum" die Welt. Fortan wurde nicht an Hirnschmalz gespart um die Entwicklung unsere zu dem Zeitpunkt nur aus Schall und Rauch bestehenden Idee in die richtige Spur zu lenken. Die Gefahr der Verpuffung war anfangs noch relativ groß. Das gab sich aber relativ schnell als klar wurde dass das Projekt trotz Anwendung des Minimalprinzip im Vorantreiben schon fast auf eigenen, wenn auch wackligen Beinen stand. Somit wurde die Chance darauf "Mischkonsum" tatsächlich in nicht all zu ferner Zukunft laufen zu sehn mehr als wahrscheinlich. Als frisch gebackene Eltern eines neugeborenen zuwendungsbedürftigen Projekt wurde uns schnell klar dass die unbeschwerte Sturm und Drang Zeit der Vergangenheit angehört, und jetzt die Verantwortung wie "Mischkonsum" aufwächst und langsam Erwachsen wird voll und ganz in unsere Händen liegt. Jetzt wird alles in unsere Macht stehende getan um "Mischkonsum" die Umgebung zu bieten die es braucht um ohne Sorgen aufzuwachsen, die nötigen Werte zu vermitteln um einen Charakter zu entwickeln der in unserem Sinne ist und irgendwann am besagten Tag X "Mischkonsum" unbesorgt in die Welt ziehen zu lassen. In diesem Sinne freuen wir darauf unser Kind aufwachsen zu sehen und laden jeden dazu ein daran Teilzunehmen. Wir freuen uns auch über unseren Nachwuchs Marc (Dopamin Synaps), der mit seinem Sound einfach super zu uns passt! Man darf gespannt sein ;)

StrickStrack: StrickStrack, oder einfach nur Strecker geriet vor 3 Jahren zum ersten Mal bewusst in Kontakt mit elektronischer Musik. Schnell begeisterte ihn nicht nur die Wirkung verschiedener Konstellationen elektronischer Klänge, sondern auch die Möglichkeit sie selbst gestalten und kombinieren zu können. So begann er schließlich Anfang des Jahres 2012 selbst zu mixen und vereinzelt auch zu produzieren. Begeistert von melodischem Deep- und Techhouse gründete er gemeinsam mit einigen Freunden und Dj-Kollegen im September 2012 das Kollektiv „ Bunte Klänge“ über welches er auch weiterhin den Kontakt zur melodischen Seite des Techno beibehält. Auch hat es ihm die harte und teilweise düstere Seite des Techno angetan, da er mit dieser wesentlich mehr Energie und Druck auf den Zuhörer überträgt. Im Fokus seiner Musik steht der Kompromiss aus Melodik und treibenden Bässen, die gemeinsam einen besonderen Effekt des Fliegens und Fallens erzielen sollen. Technoracle: Dennis aka Technoracle begann 2011 unter dem Synonym Bassfist das auflegen. Bis Anfang 2013 beschäftigte sich Technoracle hauptsächlich mit Hardstyle, wo ihn vor allem die harten Bässe und Melodien überzeugten. Jedoch wurde seine Bindung zu Tech-House und Techno zunehmend stärker, bis sie schließlich ganz Überhand nahm. Vor allem harte Bässe und treibende Elemente, sowie Melodische Aspekte die den Hörer „fliegen“ lassen stehen bei ihm im Vordergrund. Der Name Technoracle ergibt sich aus den Worten „Techno“ und dem englischen Wort „Oracle“ (deutsch: Orakel). Damit möchte Technoracle eine Anspielung auf ein Orakel machen, welches mit technoiden Klängen, wie in einem urtümlichen Ritual, seine Vision der Musik auf den Tänzer überträgt. Freude und Liebe zur Musik ist das, was Technoracle seinen Zuhörern mitgeben möchte.

Uncompromising, Dark, Atmospheric. Techno! That’s the sound of Cortechs. It did not take long until the unique sound of Cortechs became attention in the global underground scene of techno music. After multiple releases on various prestigious labels, Cortechs earned his rightful position among the most important producers and performers of the german underground techno movement. With his first album "The End Justifies The Means" which was released on his regular label "Machine Box", Cortechs was able to give his sound a very personal touch and gather enough raw materials to use and intuitively play with in his exquisite Ableton Live sets. Having been on tour through Germany a lot of times, he always found inspiration for producing new sounds. This new material was also the basis for upcoming projects like the "Last 13 EP" released on Steil or the collaboration with Hackler & Kuch which was released on De-Konstrukt. With remixes for Angy Kore, Niereich, Morgan Tomas or Mike Wall, Cortechs has become an important and much requested remixer in the scene. In 2013 even more live gigs came around. This automatically resulted in much new material again which directly found ist way into his ableton sessions . This was also the biggest influence for his next big Project, his second LP "Waste of Humanity", which will be released on Steil later this year. So if you are looking for atmospheric and massive bassline tracks, make sure to look out for Cortechs!

At a very early state Ralph Mirto discovered the possibilites of personal expression by the use of gears, computers and sound. He is a real nerd when it comes to work on sounds and the way to shape them and making them sound unique. While for some producers, especially new and ambitious gigchasers, it`s more important how to sound for becoming attractive to get booked and play out as much as possible, Ralph Mirto is a sound-addict, open to benefits of course which is proven by the facts that he played shows from Italy via Germany to Holland, but his main focus is finding an answering the question “How can I sound like I want to sound?”. Each single of his tracks is a very personal and mood-reflecting example of how music can influence your mind and general being. There is some talent with this guy, without any doubt, and it`s just a question of time when small steps turn into big ones. Productions on established labels like Nachtstrom or the fact that he was invited to contribute a track to the 25 Years Of Loveparade Charity compilation, that is refreshing the basic idea of the Loveparade with finding and giving a platform to new faces and talents, are undoubtly showing his huge potential. Believe in sound.

If the secular bleakness fits well the dark, sullen, industrial compositions of some of its famous musicians, an older tradition, looser, of dedication to the suave, stretched, paced nighttime, finds its natural extension in the talents of young artists like Psyk and Alberto Pascual. Beyond the city that has both seen them grow up, the two producers share a common vision of an exciting, immanent techno. Their collaboration for swedish Drumcode LTD vouches for their ambition: Ascent, Permanent, Descent, three limpid tracks, scrupulously carried out, providing an irresistible outlet to the audience, oscillating from sweet languor to euphoria. For many years now Alberto Pascual has been involved in the spaniard capital´s techno scene. He has been producing on his own, keenly, delivering indisputable groove material to the crowds. Constantly evolving, his technique is not to debate, Last train to Party and Vertigo, two of his releases on Plus 8, speak on its behalf: merciless rythms, ascensional themes , nebulous as well as aerial, the young musician knows how to manipulate the audience´s urges and pleasures, and meticulously drive them frenzy. It´s then no surprise to hear him giving ecstatic performances as a DJ. Used to international stages , in addition to his favorite court, his appearances have left no one indifferent. From powerful 90´s icons to techno´s freshest talents, he takes care in delivering rattling sets wherever he plays. In the steady dynamic of his, together with the experience and maturity he gleaned over the years, Alberto is now engaging himself in the creation of a raw, solid techno that is to be kept closely under watch.

Kalden started off his career in 2008 when he began making music from his basement in montreal, a few months later, His first release hit the shelf and went on TOP10 on the first week. Recognition came fast for the young producer who then got the chance to play alongside the likes of Chris Liebing, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Gary Beck, Dustin Zahn, and many more techno titans. At the start of 2009, Kalden launched the Ground Factory label to promote his music. By doing so, he quickly made a name for himself with his quality brand of techno. Hard work and dedication has ensured that Ground Factory Records is now running alongside the best techno labels. His quality work and special touch he calls ´dirty sexy´ techno gave him the chance to work with many established producer and labels such as Secret Cinema, Gary Beck, Sasha Carassi, Markantonio, Rino Ceronne, Audio Injection, Drumcell, Tom Hades, Pig & Dan, Jerome Sydenham, Pfirter and many more. Since 2013, Kalden left Montreal for Barcelona where he dedicate himself to making music and making people dance all over the world. Currently working on his debut album, ´kalden´ is ready to set his new touch of techno around the globe. Be ready. its gonna be a bumpy ride!

Deux im ToY Stuttgart statt. Es folgten weitere Veranstaltungen mit dem Kooperationspartner Klangfragment im ToY Club Stuttgart, dem Cue Club und in der Markthalle Kaiserslautern. Unter anderem konnten hierfür hochkarätige Locals und auch Headliner wie ONNO aus Amsterdam, Ray Okpara aus Berlin, Bunte Bummler und Sasch BBC aus Mannheim und Anna Reusch aus dem Erzgebirge für Gigs in Stuttgart und Kaiserslautern unter dem Namen Taktschmiede gewonnen werden. Earnest Lukosian entwickelte im Laufe der Zeit einen eigenen und speziellen Sound, welcher sich keinem Genre direkt zuordnen lässt. Fest steht, dass eine Vorliebe für treibende, druckvolle und melodische Sounds vorhanden ist. Da häufig das Bedürfnis besteht Tracks zu personifizieren und mit einer eigenen Note zu versehen, beschäftigte sich Earnest Lukosian mit den gängigsten DAW´s auf dem Markt, um die Crowd mit eigener Musik zu begeistern. Workshops mit Sebastian Henzl (Raumeinsnull/Mannheim), Björn Torwellen (Abstract/Structure), Fritz Monath (Hörsignal Digital) und Markus Jogun aka HOURS verfeinerten das Gespür und den Workflow, sodass Ende 2015 mit ersten eigenen Veröffentlichungen auf einschlägigen Labels zu rechnen ist.

“If there was a checklist for success, Spektre would have crossed off everything by now. Played gigs all over Europe – done, produced lots of strong releases & remixes – done 10 so far this year to be precise, topped the Beatport sales chart – done, got support from all the big techno guys, Sven Vath, Dubfire, Stephen Bodzin & Laurent Garnier – done, won the respect of their peers – done” - Mixmag “Spektre´s productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger” - James Zabiela “The homegrown producers tipped to give Berlin’s techno crowd a run for their money” - DJ Mag “Spektre have been one of the most consistent and solid production outfits in recent memory and I, for one, have become a huge fan and supporter of their sound. Whether they are producing mad, peak time bombs, or setting dancefloors on fire with their awesome live sets, these guys are definitely ones to watch and a bright shining light for the shape and sound of techno to come!” - UMEK BIOGRAPHY: SPEKTRE weaves an intrepid, complex web amongst underground dance music’s elite. The techno brainchild of DJs/producers Filthy Rich and Paul Maddox, the dark duo was formed through a shared passion for driving electronic music and a mutual desire to push sound boundaries using the most cutting edge technology available. The fusion of their combined experience in the studio allows them to construct dark, sinister sounds mixed with twisted, haunting vocals and unnerving, atmospheric foundations. Always innovative, their sinful sound draws inspiration from early looping detroit techno from the likes of Joey Beltram and R&S releases, combined with an amalgamation of much more recent production masterminds such as Dubfire, Martin Buttrich, Trentemoller and Stephan Bodzin. High rulers in the underground scene, their live shows feature rave-inspired, melodic, razor-sharp beats and their menacing releases hold the key to packing out hot, sweaty, dance floors every weekend. Spektre’s web is a permanent fixture nestling snugly in the corner of the studio. As producers they more often than not hover comfortably in Beatport’s top 10 listings, with their tracks being released on prestigious labels such as Respekt, Great Stuff, 1605, Blufin, 303Lovers and GU, plus remixes on Craft and Spectrum amongst a whole host of others.

AN AFFECTION TO VINYL AT AN EARLY STAGE IS MOST PROBABLY THE BEST PRECONDITION TO BECOME SOMEBODY FINALLY ENDING UP PLAYING THOSE VINYLS FOR PEOPLE. SOMEBODY WITH A MUSICAL BACKGROUND. SOMEBODY SERVING AND EDUCATING PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME. SOMEBODY BEING CALLED DJ. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ALEX BACK THEN IN THE VERY EARLY 90`S. HE ACQUIRED A MUSICAL BACKGROUND. HE WAS ASKED TO PLAY RECORDS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. HE BECAME A DJ. EVEN AT THAT EARLY STAGE, WHEN STILL BUYING LOADS OF RECORDS OUT OF SEVERAL GENRES, FROM 70´S DISCO VIA LOTS OF 80`S POP, SYNTHIEPOP, WAVE, EBM, GOTHIC ROCK TO 90`S INDEPENDENT, GRUNGE, EVEN HIP HOP AND AGAIN THE MORE DARKER SIDE OF SYNTHIE-BASED POPMUSIC, ALEX ALREADY WAS VERY MUCH INTO THIS NEW UPCOMING STYLE CALLED TECHNO. LIKE A LOT OF FELLOWS AT THIS EARLY RAVEDAYS, THE FIRST CONTACTS WERE SLIGHTLY COMMERCIAL. THOSE TECHNO TRAX CD COMPILATIONS WERE NOT REALLY DIGGING INTO THE UNDERGROUND DEEPLY BACK IN THESE DAYS, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD ENOUGH TO BECOME CURIOUS ON WHAT COULD BE HIDDEN BELOW THIS SUPERFICIAL SURFACE. QUITE SOON ALEX DISCOVERED A UNIVERSE OF NEW SOUNDS, NEW MUSIC AND STYLES, RANGING FROM BASICCHANNEL, WHICH IS THE "SOUL OF TECHNO" FOR ALEX, TO THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL OF TECHNO WITH ITS VERY OWN SOUND, DEFINED BY LABELS LIKE EYE Q AND HARTHOUSE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALSO EARLY

New album AYDSZIEYALAIDNEM out now on CD, double 12" Vinyl and mp3.

Edy Eiler war in Sachen Techno schon immer ganz vorne mit dabei… Bereits zu Zeiten als das legendäre Nexus oder auch das Oz noch geöffnet hatten ließ er die Vinyls auf den Plattentellern rotieren. Seit der Geburtsstunde des ToY im Jahre 1996 ist dort seine Homebase. Seine Sets sind stets wohl durchdacht und und immer auf dunklen, hämmernden Techno getrimmt.

“When you find balance between a passion for music and a pure love of nightlife, you have found the perfect combination to build something unique”. As a teenager Fabio studied at the “Giuseppe Verdi” academy in Prato, Italy. Having spent most of his youth in night clubs and festivals across Europe, he spread the essence of music & fun on his own skin, building his knowledge week by week and experiencing the party scene first hand. In 2007 Fabio moved to London where he spent hours in the studio developing his own unique style, combining techno and tech house – up to his first release in 2011. More EPs and remixes on several European labels followed, soon recognised and supported by artists like Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Luigi Madonna, Subfactral, Markantonio, Sasha Carassi and many more. Touched by the positive support, Fabio worked hard to shape his own vision of music also through his dj sets. Never satisfied, he sees himself in constant search of music, tools and new equipment to stand out from the crowd. 2012/13 took Fabio to another level. Having moved to Ibiza, he came into contact with those who gave him the initial inspiration; including Richie Hawtin and his ENTER. concept. During that time Fabio was lucky to listen, dance and experience many of his own productions played by the best djs on the most talked about dance floors in the world. Fabio now took control of the dance floor like never before and in 2014 became a resident at the ENTER. events at Space Ibiza, with appearances at ENTER. international events around the globe. This residency has launched Fabio at lighting speed onto the international circuit, and garnered many fans for the Tuscan native. In August his first EP “Be yOu” followed on Hawtin’s Minus label. There is no stopping. Fabio Florido has proven that he is one to watch for the future with the “best yet to come” !

Sophie Nixdorf zählt momentan zu den gefragtesten weiblichen DJs Deutschlands. Die Leser des Faze-Magazin setzten ihr jüngst die Krone auf und wählten sie als einzige Frau in die TopTen der Durchstarter des Jahres 2014. Sophie steht für kompromisslose Techno-Sets zur Maintime und spielt seit Beginn ihrer Karriere regelmäßig Seite an Seite mit den nationalen und internationalen Top-Acts. Ob auf Festivals wie der Winterworld, als ehemaliger Resident des berühmt-berüchtigten U60311 in Frankfurt oder bis heute als Resident bei den legendären Palazzo-Events – Sophie bringt jeden Dancefloor souverän mit ihrem treibenden Sound zum Kochen. Doch nicht nur an den Plattenspielern versteht sie Ihr Handwerk. Auch als Produzentin hat Sophie sich so einige Lorbeeren verdient. Ihre Releases auf Overdrive und Diametral fanden sich in den Playlists von Global Player Richie Hawtin, Drumcode-Artist Mikael Jonasson sowie der Knarzmaschine Thomas P. Heckmann wieder. Ihre Trax ließ sie unter anderem remixen von Stanny Franssen aka G-Force, D.Diggler und Matt K. – selbst remixte Sophie schon für Szenegrößen wie Lexy, Eric Sneo, Adrian Hour und zuletzt für Techno-Künstler Niereich. Sophie kann ihre Finger nie lange still halten – neue Projekte sind schon in der Pipeline. Nicht zuletzt ist Sophie Nixdorf auch zweifache Labelownerin: 2011 stieg sie bei Overdrive ein und steht seither mit Szene-Urgestein Andy Düx an der Spitze eines der dienstältesten Techno-Labels Deutschlands. Mit ihrem zweiten Label „You Are Strange“ geht Sophie Nixdorf 2015 an den Start.

Chris Laconi hat elektronische Musik von klein auf fasziniert. Bereits im Schulalter experimentierte er in seinem Zimmer mit Tonbandgerät und Kassettenrecorder herum und versuchte Tracks von Yello, Kraftwerk oder Bomb The Bass zu mixen. Anfang der 90er begann er sich seine ersten Turntables zu kaufen und fing an kleinere Privat- und Undergroundparties zu beschallen, um danach immer mehr und mehr in Clubs aufzulegen. Er zählt damit zu den dienstältesten Techno- und House-DJ´s Ostdeutschlands. Seiner Vorliebe für das schwarze Gold ist er bis heute treu geblieben. Seine Auftritte bestehen nach wie vor aus 100% Vinylsound! Chris hat immer ein Gespür für die richtigen Töne und versteht es, sein Publikum mitzureissen. Sein Style ist vielfältig und trotzdem unverwechselbar. Egal ob Primetime oder Afterhour, seine Gigs sind für jeden ein Erlebnis. Während seiner Laufbahn war er bereits Resident in mehreren angesagten Clubs und von 1998 - 2007 Mitglied der „NRG-Crew“. Desweiteren ist er der geistige Vater und Gründer des legendären "SMS Music Camp"! Da viele Wege nach Rom führen, führte seiner 2006 zu „Schalldruck-Music“, wo er seitdem ein fester Bestandteil ist. 2010 gründete Chris mit seinem Freund Atcon Clank das Projekt "CLINK CLANK". Einige Releases erschienen bereits auf "sYnonYm Records", unter anderem auch ein Remix für Anne Clark. 2014 wechselten die Beiden dann zu "Morgentau Music".

He is called MesU.T. and came middle to deal of 90´er on the taste with electronic music. Very early he also started to be interested in everything around the Dj. After several approaches he got the resident place in the tunnel (Gosheim) where he got to know then also S.K.A.T.I. With Him he organised once a month to divide very successful parties in the disco WOM (Balingen) under the name "Symbiosys". Then he did small-time above all with S.K.A.T.I., however, also alone through nice South Germany. Since 2006 he plays in whole Germany and has created it also to a resident place in the club Soho (Spaichingen). He still has big interest in producing. His first publication "Zukunftsmusikclown Ep" comes out on Chaos Netlabel. Other tracks of him are quite ready and he works on and on it. Now since beginning of 2010 he also is Resident in the disco Wom which had moved, in the meantime, to Hechingen where he denies a Floor also every Friday and also invites regularly guest Dj´s. At the same time he has also founded the agency Feierkind with your activities can look after an artist all around and support. Out of this also originated the idea for his own label Feierkind-Records. With all what has lately done itself with MesU.T. one may be stretched on a successful-promissory career which keeps never waiting with such an ambitious artist long. He would describe his style as follows: Good Techno ;-) He plays still with Vinyl!

RAVE – für Ihn nicht nur eine musikalische Stilrichtung. Schubladendenken ist out! RAVE - ein Feeling, eine Umschreibung für die Liebe zur elektronischen Musik, exzessive Feierei und Anti-Schicki-Micki-Feiern – Abriss halt!

"The biggest mistake about DJ´S is "it´s not about me , it´s about you". Now if you can find a way to mix me and you together, then that´s a great night .But for the most part my job is to make people happy . They come and want to have a good time . And it´s simple as that , every DJ has to understand, that your job is to make people happy , like… what better job can you have!" - DJ Jazzy Jeff

Björn Torwellen und Markus Schwalb aka Cortechs sind The Sphere. Beide für sich kaum noch aus der deutschen Techno Szene wegzudenken. Unzählige Releases, Alben und Gigs. Durch Ihre Freundschaft und die vielen langen Partynächten als b2b Act ist ein Live Projekt entstanden. Inspiriert von diesen Live Gigs eine einmalige Vinyl Serie in 7 Teilen auf Nachtstrom. Es gibt nur wenige Auftritte der beiden zusammen. "Uns ist wichtig das wir als The Sphere eine gewisse Exklusivität bewahren" so Markus Schwalb und Björn Torwellen über The Sphere.

We would tell you all about Redshape, but we don't know who he actually is. He hides his real identity behind a red mask at all times, even wearing it onstage at his club dates around Europe, which of late there have been many. We do know the man behind the mask lives in Berlin, he does a rocking live act and he's released half a dozen tracks over the last year or so on labels such as Delsin, Styrax Leaves and Music Man. We also can reveal he has studied a lot of old Detroit techno records: His sound is a new update on old school templates, and it's getting a thorough rinsing by DJs as diverse as Laurent Garnier, Josh Wink, Âme and Cassy. "I don't prepare any details like breakdowns or mixes before I go on stage," says Redshape. "My plan is to do a recordable jam session which is kinda organic and never really the same in any of its components while still sounding straight." If you see a guy hanging out in the alley behind your local club with a red mask on, don't call the police, it's probably just Redshape psyching himself up to go on stage.

Alberto began playing as Resident Dj of the Ibiza weekend parties in the Mega club BCM located on the island of Mallorca. He was also the resident Dj for the IN nights in Titos Palma from 2006 to 2010 but had to stop as the Mallorcan Techno scene came to a halt because of the economic recession. This is when Alberto began to spend much more time in his studio, acquiring all types of classical synths and rhythm machines of brands like: Korg, Moog, Roland etc. in order to experiment and produce music at a professional level. In 2012 he decides to open his own record label called stick recordings which begins to build momentum in Beatport and hits its climax in May 2013 when Dubfire decides to chart Alberto’s track Alien. It only takes a week for Alien to get to number 1 of the Techno charts and then stayed at that position for 9 consecutive days. Is also included on TopTracks of 2013: Techno , Beatport Charts. From that moment Alberto began to get noticed by bigger record labels such as Suara, Elevate,Terminal M,Noir Music, Deeperfect, Bla Bla, Transmit recordings and has produced and remixed with world renowned artists such as: Pig&Dan, Monika Kruse, Coyu, Noir, Axel Karakasis, Dj Boris, Dj Anna, Sinisa Tamamovic and Skober. Alberto’s tracks are constantly hitting the top 50 techno charts and his talent in the studio seems to be evolving at a blinding pace. Only a few weeks ago he hit again the number 1 spot in the techno charts with a remix of Quentin Dourthe’s Full Vision after being charted by the legendary Green Velvet. His tracks have been played by Artists like Dubfire,Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin,Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Carl Cox,Joseph Capriati, Pan Pot, Marco Bailey, Solomun and the list goes on and on for this young and very talented producer with a bright future ahead of him in the world of techno

If any producer can be known as a wayfarer, then Knobs truly ecompasses this archetype. Having lived and traveled across Africa, Asia, North America, Australasia and Europe since his birth in Rome, his experiences are wide, varied and are now echoed through his musical production. Since childhood he has had a strong passion and curiosity for a variety of musical genres. Growing up listening from Hip Hop to Grunge and Dub he later discovered electronic music through artists such as Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk and The Prodigy whose sounds seduced him to indulge in the realm of electronic music. He discovered and fell in love with Techno after hearing Jeff Mills and Paco Osuna perform in 2008. Additionally inspired by the analog sets at the raves in Rome, he began to experiment with his own creativity. Knobs has a passion for acquiring inspiration from the sounds surrounding his life; stretching from different musical genres to all urban and natural soundscapes. His style in Techno is well known for its prominent drive and bass laced with fine cut rhythmics topped with dark, organic atmospheres evoking a primordial and mystical essence. Thanks to his unique and diverse productions he has had the opportunity to perform to a wide variety of places from legendary clubs and festivals to small underground events throughout Germany, Sweden, Italy, Holland, USA, Switzerland, Lithuania, Mexico, Argentina, Norway, Hungary, Denmark, Malta, New Zealand and Australia.

Eric Schaich geboren am 13.05.1986 in Stuttgart, wurde mit der Musik groß. Geprägt von Experimental Jazz seines Großvaters, waren abstrakte Musikstile im Focus gestanden. 2002 begann Eric sich Intensiv mit der Underground Techno Szene auseinander zu setzten und fing an eigene Produktionen zu Starten. Nach langen Nächten in Studios und Clubs, formte sich sein Sound zu einem Deep, Minimalistischen Techno Stil. Eric spielte auf größeren Veranstaltungen, an der Seite unter anderem Gaiser ( MINUS ) oder Nierreich. Es folgten Veröffentlichungen auf Compilationen mit Künstlern wie Mike Wall, Raegen, Miss Sunshine uvm. Die Live Shows von Eric Schaich sind Deep, treibend und verspielt.

Bada & Bird - die Marke für treibenden Technosound in Süddeutschland! Das Duo - bestehend aus Patrick Bader und Sven Vogel - entdeckte schon früh Ihre Leidenschaft zu elektronischer Musik. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Stuttgart entwickelt sich aus einem anfänglichen Hobby schnell eine gemeinsame Sucht. Spätestens nach Beginn Ihrer Zusammenarbeit im Jahr 2013 wird es jedoch klar: Mit Ihrem unterschiedlichen Können ergänzen die Beiden sich perfekt und bilden eine herausragende Dynamik. Ihr dunkler und treibender Sound definiert modernen Techno für den absoluten Höhepunkt der Nacht. Mittlerweile in Ihren Mittzwanzigern angekommen entwickelt sich 2015 zu Ihrem Jahr. Frisch unter Vertrag beim Label EE-Records sorgen Sie bei zahlreichen Veranstaltungen in Stuttgart und Umgebung bereits für unvergessliche Nächte. Auch Ihre ersten Veröffentlichungen stehen bereits in den Startlöchern. Man darf sehr gespannt sein, was Bada & Bird in Zukunft noch bereit hält!

Zurück zum Anfang. Dahin wo alles begonnen hat. Wo der Sound langsamer war, aber einen unwiderstehlichen Druck und viel Charisma hatte. Nächte wurden durchgemacht. Ideen die aus Erlebnissen heraus spontan entstanden, wurden musikalisch umgesetzt. Unvergessene Gefühle, die einen ewig begleiten und nach einer kreativen Pause wiederbelebt werden. Die musikalischen Wurzeln von Tobias Lützenkirchen gehen zurück bis ins Jahr 1992, wo er das erste Mal als Sänger auf einer Platte zu hören war. Seine Liebe zur elektronischen Musik entdeckte und festigte er allerdings erst 1995 als er ein Jahr als Promoter auf Ibiza tätig war. Trotzdem verschlug es ihn 1996 erstmal wieder zurück nach Neuss, wo er bis 1999 auch weiterhin als Sänger und Songschreiber in allen möglichen musikalischen Gefilden tätig war. Parallel entwickelte er schon erste elektronische Titel und experimentierte unter verschiedenen Künstlernamen und Projekten, von denen einige damals schon Charterfolge wurden. Viele Künstlernamen und Projekte später, war Lützenkirchen geboren, der Name mit dem er in den folgenden Jahren rund um die Welt tourte und unzählige Tracks auf Labels wie Toolroom, Great Stuff, Kling Klong, Universal, 1605, oder 303 Lovers veröffentlichte. Er remixte fuer unzählige Szene-Groessen und schuf in München mit Platform B eine musikalische Plattform für Münchener Nachwuchskünstler, die sich schnell eine weltweite Fansbase für besten Techno aufbaute. Doch manchmal braucht man bei soviel Output einfach eine Pause, eine regenerierende Phase, in der man sich zurückzieht und den Gedanken freien Raum lässt. Vor allem nach dem Superhit und Chart Erfolg von 3 Tage Wach. Mitte 2012 war so ein Moment für Lützenkirchen und er zog sich produktionstechnisch beinahe ganz zurück. Doch diese Zeit hat ihm gut getan. Er ist zurück, mit mehr Motivation und Energie als jemals zuvor. Enorm Stilsicher und musikalisch wieder einen Schritt der Zeit voraus hat sich bei ihm massig neuer Output angesammelt, der wie damals einen neuen-alten Lützenkirchen ankündigt welcher sich wieder komplett der House-Musik Szene verschrieben hat. Es geht zurück an den Anfang, zu den Wurzeln. Grooviger, tanzbarer, dreckiger Garage House bis darken, deepen Techno, inspieriert von Städten wie London, Detroit oder Chicago. Vielfältig ist sein Sound, energetisch, pulsierend, mitreißend und unverkennbar Lützenkirchen.

Angefangen kurz nach der Jahrtausendwende, startete AMAN mit Vinyl im Raum Stuttgart seine Karriere. Zur elektronischen Musik hatte er früh Kontakt durch seinen Dad, welcher alte Plattenspieler & Mixer reparierte. Recht rasch wechselte er ins Lager der DJ´s, die mit DVS-Systemen auflegten, wo er sich ziemlich schnell etablierte und mit den Eigenheiten der mp3´s und ihrer Verarbeitung früh zurechtkommen wollte & dies gekonnt umsetzte. Im Jahr 2011 hat er dann Kontakt zur MILCHBAR in Kirchheim aufgenommen, die ihn aufgrund seines Könnens, seines Willens und seiner Fähigkeit, das Eine mit dem Anderen zu verbinden, als Resident sofort einstellte. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt hat er in der gesamten Stuttgarter Region und bis nach Nürnberg & Berlin hoch sein Können in unzähligen renommierten Clubs unter Beweis stellen können. Seit 2014 ist er ebenso im BUKOWSKI/Heilbronn und seit Beginn diesen Jahres im TOY/Stuttgart Resident und füllt nicht nur dort den Floor. Inzwischen steht AMAN bei EE Records unter Vertrag, bei denen er sich in diesem Jahr noch mit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung Gehör verschaffen wird, die schon in Arbeit ist. Seine Sets bestechen durch alte Elemente von Klassikern wie auch vokalen Einschüben aus völlig anderen Genren, mit denen er seine Technosets spickt und adäquat zu individualisieren imstande ist.

Gero Jansen sees the light of day in the early 90s. A heart rate of 128 bpm, a magic number it will be telling. At the tender age of 7, Gero started to learn his first instrument. Shortly afterward, he played his first concerts, but it is not enough for him to play other musician’s work. He wants more, namely to compose his own music. In his youth, it is the sound synthesis, which gives him an appearance of perfection. He begins to deal intensively with electronic music and its creation. Initial projects arise where he tried different genres and eventually he found himself in the field of techno again. The first gigs did not take long in coming. Despite many nights in various clubs, he still finds the time to drive his own productions ahead and to create a unique sound. The motivation for this is his love for music. ? In 2016, Gero Jansen´s Remix of "Harvey Mckay - Wrong Turn" is released on "Carl Cox´" label "Intec Digital". ? Shortly after that his EP "Movement" is released on "EE-Records". In October Gero Jansen makes his contribution with his friend Joaquin Perez for the "ADE" with "Hold me" on "Sonika Music" ? In November Gero Jansen makes his due to the "PURE INTEC 3 Compilation" beside 32 other Tracks from Artists like: Marco Bailey, Carl Cox, Joseph Capriati, Jon Rundell, Saeed Younan, Misstress Barbara, D-Unity, Matt Sassari, Kasbah Zoo, OniWax, Nicole Moudaber, Harvey McKay, Sidney Charles, Steve Mulder, Victor Calderone, Amadeas, 999, Carlo Lio, Copy Paste Soul, Josh Wink, Ramiro Lopez, Thomas Gandey, Drumcomplex, Roel Salemink, Dosem, The Junkies, Danny Serrano, Stephan Hinz, Philipp Ruhmhardt, Ian O´Donovan, Tomy DeClerque, DJ Jock, Alex Costa, Fabio Neural, Cristian Varela ? In Dezember Gero Jansen & Joaquin Perez´ EP "No Limit" is released about Alex Rouks label "Sonika music". There are also various Gero Jansen remixes on labels like "BluFin", "SBERT Records", "District Underground" and "EE-Records" in this year for Artists like Lutzenkirchen and many more. ?

In 2014, he achieved initial success with his first EP "Emergency", which is released on the label "DOPE", a sub-label of "DSR Digital". To sum up, Gero Jansen is an insider tip in terms of underground techno. We can only wonder what he will release next few years. At the moment it is unknown but one thing is certain: it will be great!

DJ AshrA´s Karriere begann 1996, wie bei vielen anderen DJs in einem Jugendhaus, damals noch mit einem Koffer voller Techno- und Tranceplatten. Zu dieser Zeit drückte er noch fleißig die Schulbank. Nach einem unglaublich erfolgreichen Auftritt im Club Metro [FN/D] , beginnen die Angebote für Auftritte immer zahlreicher ins Haus zu flattern. Es vergehen einige tur- bulente Monate, zahlreiche Partys bei denen AshrA als Live-DJ-Act zu sehen und hören ist! Es beginnt die Zeit der Prodigy-Partys... in Kellern alter Abbruchhäuser wurde nun zu Hardtrance und Techno Beats getanzt... mit dabei und live an den Plattentellern...DJ AshrA ... Durch einen nun gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad im Drei- ländereck und einer Einladung in die Schweiz auf eine GOA-Party folgend, kehrte er mit einem nun völlig neuen Verständnis für die elektronische Klangkultur zurück. Ein Jahr später veranstaltete er im Sommer an seinem Geburtstag mit Freunden ein GOA Open Air. Dies war wohl die Geburtsstunde von "PSYCHEDELIC PRIVATE CULT", dem Klang-Komitee der legendären GOA Open Air Partys rund um Ravensburg/Oberschwaben. Durch diese Plattform erlangten DJ´s wie z.B : DJ PsyBeatBox [CH] / DJ Mitrash [D] / DJ Xaro [CH] / DJ Boegiboe [D] uvm. einen Namen. Inspiriert durch die ArcadeHOMEBASE und das KOMITEE : DJ AshrA & Friends haben sie alle pionierarbeit geleistet und die GOA Szene und -Kultur nach Oberschwaben & Umbebung gebracht. Seither feiert man im ganzen Ländle ausgelassen irgendwo im Wald zu sehr, sehr heftig wummernden Bässen inmitten fluoriszierender Pilze und Gestalten... Zur Zeit widmet sich ... DJ AshrA ... ganz seinem neuen Soundstil wacky beats und sampelt Klangelemente für die nächste Session... Watch out for the comming open air season....

Mit seiner ersten eigenen Veranstaltung verband er French und Synthie Elektro. Schon bald führte ihn sein Weg zu den härteren Klängen des Techno/Minimal und Tech-House, mit Ansätzen zum Progressiven. Im Jahre 2012 plante und veranstaltete er zusammen mit den Dj´s Ferdinand Schmälzle, Pace und Mojay & Simpson die erfolgreiche Partyreihe Nachtakrobaten (Liebstöckel Karlsruhe). 2012 gründete er das Event-Label "Klangsynthese", das heute 14 Künstler aus den Bereichen Techno, Tech-House, Psy-Trance/Goa und Minimal inne hält.

Timm E. born 28.10.1985, near Stuttgart Germany, the city that often is called Benztown, home of the famous Mercedes Benz Company. Spec X is not a new DJ, he has a long history and uses this name now for his new DJ / producer personality. Growing up with the influences of music by playing different instruments, Timm bought his first turntables with 14. The Milestone in his life: He started as a „turntablist dj“ and learned scratches and beat juggles on turntables using mostly hip hop records. Timm was at that time as a crazy pothead, really wild n and young, and music was the only important thing in his life. A big influence was his second passion „skateboarding“. So he used the name „spectra“ as a start of his hip hop dj Career and you will laugh: It was the name of his Skateboard trucks. When Spectra played his first club gig with only 16 years he felt the energie of a packed dancefloor in a Club for the first time. Spending all his life for music, chilling in record stores, watching all the videos of famous djs and getting high and drunk, his club charakter was born when he was 18. After playing a few gigs he was getting more into the southern hip hop scene where more energetic and hardcore vibes are in the music and where those crazy down south/crunk parties exist. it was always important to him not to play the regular lazy top10 hiphop sets but being creative and part of the sub culture of the scene. Being so many years on the business side as an self employed agency owner and eventmanager he decided in 2014 to use his second personality, „the creative person“, to go back where he came from and spend all his whole life for: music. 2014. Spec X is the short version of DJ Spectra and is an synonyme for his own produced electronic music with hip hop influences. It sounds like you are partying 3 days in a row, having afterhours, giving a shit and loving life. His last release is his EP called „Amsterdam Love“ which he was producing on his trip in Amsterdam. Right know he is workin on his Album called "The Infamous" and will released in 2015.

Hell ist Gründer und Inhaber von International Deejay Gigolos, einer deutschen Plattenfirma für Elektronische Musik. Über Hells musikalische Anfänge ist wenig bekannt. Nach eigenen Aussagen fand er sich eines Tages mit Freunden als Instrumentalist unter 1980er-Jahre-Electromusikern wieder. Seit Ende der 1970er Jahre war er als DJ tätig. Ab 1983 legte er im Club Libella auf, später im Club Troja (Altötting), dann in München im Park Café, im ARG, im Tanzlokal Größenwahn und in verschiedenen anderen Münchner Clubs und Hallen. Über New Wave, EBM, Electro und Hip-Hop gelangte er schließlich zu House und Techno. Ab 1991 war Hell im Umfeld von Peter Wachas Label Disko B tätig. Seine erste selbstproduzierte Single (My Definition of House Music, auf R&S) wurde ein Clubhit. 1993 zog er nach Berlin und arbeitete für den Plattenladen Hard Wax. Im Jahr 1994 erschien auf Disko B Hells Debütalbum Geteert & gefedert. Später lebte er kurze Zeit in New York und kehrte schließlich nach Bayern zurück. Neben seiner Arbeit als DJ gründete er 1996 sein Label International Deejay Gigolos. Stilistisch ist die Musik bei Electro, House, Tech- House und Techno einzuordnen, mit Einflüssen von 80er Jahre Pop und Disco. Mit diesem Label haben bekannte Größen der Techno-, House- und Electroszene wie Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Tiga, Fischerspooner, Johannes Heil, Sven Väth, Miss Kittin, Anthony Rother und Laurent Garnier zusammengearbeitet. Hell trug nennenswert zum 80er Jahre Revival der deutschen und internationalen Clubszene bei. Ab 2000 betrieb er über mehrere Jahre die Diskothek Villa im bayerischen Traunstein. Seit 2005 wohnte Geier abwechselnd in München und Berlin. Von 2007 bis 2010 legte DJ Hell regelmäßig auf den Aftershow-Partys von Michael Michalskys StyleNite während der Berlin Fashion Week auf.

DJ/Producer from Frankfurt am Main/ Germany

Paralytic, born in 1977, was lost in music since his early years. .At first he was into rap music and bands such as public enemy or 2 life crew but soon he recognized it wasn´t the music he was interested in. He rather was more interested into the beats than the message of songs. In 1989 he made first contact with electronic music, was outright thrilled and knew immediately “THAT´s IT”. He quickly developed a great love to electronic music, but by growing older, creating his own beats and tracks became more interesting than just listen to them. Driven by passion he soon invested in hardware such as synthesizers and the dream seemed to be slowly becoming true. In 2012 his first digital track was released on Graviton audio with remixes by Stephan Koenig and Gabeen followed by some releases and remixes by Michael Schwarz, Blood & Tears, Sebastian Groth, Vegim, Marc Zimmermann and many more. Music is art…Music is (my) life

Böser Techno für den Keller :D

Mustafa (Musti) aka "MUSTEC" was born on 12.05.1989 in Geislingen / Germany. At an early age he discovered electronic music for himself. Even then, when his friends were rather at any Ballerman parties, it drove him alone to techno parties where he was celebrating to the sound of Chris liebing or A.paul for example. In 2012 and after 6 years going to techno parties, he felt bored of only partying to techno music, so he decided to discover more and to know better the techno music for himself. He had a lot of ideas and so he made the decision to get his own DJ equipment. Stay tuned and let you take from Mustec to a journey through the world of techno.

Schon im frühen Alter entdeckte er die elektronische Musik für sich. Schon damals, als seine Freunde lieber auf irgendwelchen Ballermann-Partys waren, trieb es ihn alleine auf Technopartys wo er dann auf den Sound wie z.B. Chris Liebling, Carl Cox feierte. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt wurde Ihm schnell klar dass sein Herz nur für "Techno" schlägt und er selbst einmal Artist/Künstler werden möchte. Im Jahr 2012 und nach 6 Jahren wurde Ihm das feiern gehen zu langweilig und er wollte den Techno nun noch mehr für sich entdecken und kennenlernen. Ideen hatte er genug und so entschied er sich sein eigenes Equipment zu zulegen! Seit gespannt und lasst euch von Mustec auf eine Reise durch die Welt des Techno führen! Den für Ihn ist es nicht nur eine Religion sondern auch ganz klar seine Lebenseinstellung! --> Vorwärts!!!

Monoloc is a techno fanatic. Ever since he made the transition from rock and heavy metal to electronic music as a teenager, the Frankfurt-born artist has dedicated his life to the dance floor. His raw yet sleek take on techno has earned him a global following and the reputation to boot. Today he resides in Berlin where he threw himself head-first into making music, allowing creative ideas to flourish and cement themselves. He spent most of his twenties juggling music and his other passion, cooking, buying records and DJing minor gigs for friends in bars and at private parties. In 2002 he moved into production. 12 months later, having outgrown his home set-up, he rented out a local studio, where he became close with the CLR crew. By the end of 2008, he‘d put out his first two releases, and by 2010 his relationship with CLR had started to grow. In the following years, he‘d put out six EPs via the label, including hit records „Try,“ „Things“ and „It‘s Mine,“ tour the world over and release Drift, his textured debut album. With music out on Innervisions, Life & Death and Soma, 2015 has shown the results of all his hard work. He currently sits somewhere between techno and house, nurturing a sound that is as driving, groovy and low-slung as ever, but with greater emotional range. Monoloc has never felt freer to explore and experiment within his craft.

Techno Producer, Performer, Promoter

Saskia Slegers, better known as Miss Djax, or as many say ´The Acid Queen´, is living proof that age doesn´t necessarily always brings peace. For 27 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive sounds. The ferocious releases on her Djax-Up-Beats label helped Chicago and Detroit sounds gain foothold in Europe, as Djax Records was one of the first European labels to put out techno in the early nineties. Now 25 years later Djax can look back at an impressive catalog of over 400 releases!

When Joachim Spieth asked me to write his biography, I knew I would have to be a bit creative in order to write something different. You see when writing a biography, there are things you have to speak about, even though you know it has been said many times, and you fear it will end up looking like any other biography, with the usual and righteous amount of name droppings. For instance, I couldn’t avoid saying that Joachim Spieth has released a numerous amount of records, on labels as renowned and diverse as Michael Mayer’s Kompakt, Traum Schallplatten, or Paso Music to name only few. And that some of those releases, such as « Under Pressure » have been, and are still hits. How could I pass on the fact that some of his compositions have been charted by Martin Gore and Sven Väth, played by Juan Atkins and Derrick May, licensed by The Orb or remixed by Rolando? And I couldn’t possibly forget the label Affin he has successfully been running for seven years, with 150 releases added to its catalogue. I also had to mention that he has been involved in the electronic music scene for the past fifteen years; that he used to play in a band as a teenager. I had to name the clubs in which he has played during the last decade. Tresor Berlin, Tunnel, Culture Box or Hive Zurich being his regular meeting points with the crowd. But I did not really want to speak about all of the above. Because what matters at the end is who he is, what he wants to express by producing music and what he has been giving to the scene. Being a shy character, he is not the type of person searching for the spotlight but someone that is evolving on the scene by pure passion, and wants to communicate this passion to the others. He created his label Affin to be as independent as possible and focus on discovering new talents. But most importantly, what Joachim Spieth does not put into words, is translated into sounds. Deep, solemn and at times enraged, his productions represents Techno in its purest expression. They are made to occupy our dying cathedrals of concrete, to crush the reality of our everyday life under an assumed individuality. The elaborated basses and the echoing melodies grab our minds to throw them in a far away world, leaving the silence of a doomed society behind. written by Chloë Le Bian

Klanglos kam zum ersten mal in den 90er Jahren mit der Musik in Kontakt, als die Technoszene in Deutschland gerade am aufbrodeln war. Schon im frühen Alter begeistert von musikalischen Klängen jeder Art entwickelte sich eine Liebe für die Musik, wie sie größer nicht sein könnte. Hingezogen zum Underground Sound steht Qualität, Einzigartigkeit und Klarheit seiner Musik im Vordergrund. Kein 0815 Techno, sondern Techno mit Sinn, Herz und Verstand, mit Liebe zum Detail und einer Leidenschaft, wie man sie kaum irgendwo sieht! Dies spiegelt sich auch in den Tracks wieder an denen der junge DJ und Produzent mit Leidenschaft arbeitet!

Arbeitsteilung bei Techno-Duos ist keine Selten- heit. Im Gegenteil ist sie sogar vielmehr Norma- lität. Das liegt in der Techno-Szene in der Sache selbst begründet, denn zumeist konzentriert sich einer der beiden Teile qua passender Ausbildung auf den professionellen Plattenproduktionsoutput während der extrovertiertere Part sich an den Wochenenden den Bollerfäusten der kreischen- den Fans stellt und unter der Woche versucht, seinem Gemüt etwas Ruhe zukommen zu lassen. Arnd Reichow, Teil des Duos „drumcomplex“, war Zeit seines Lebens der letzteren Sorte zuzuord- nen. Daniel, studierter Tontechniker, und obendrein Arnds Bruder, bildet in beruflicher wie priva- ter Hinsicht eine wichtige Stütze. Besser könnte man sich kaum gegenseitig ergänzen. Wer hat sich die Frage „Wie komplex kann Techno schon sein?“ nicht irgendwann mal gestellt? Die Antwort müsste bei drumcomplex lauten: Tech- no kann eine Stufe der Komplexität erlangen, die durch perfektionierte Arbeitsteilung das Maximum aus Studioarbeit und Live-Auftritten herausholt – und das bereits seit über zehn Jahren. Das spie- gelt sich auch in der Diskografie wider: Die bei- den decken eine Bandbreite an hochgeschätzten Techno und TechHouse-Labels ab, nach der sich andere die Finger lecken würden: MB Elektronics, Phobiq, Different is Different Records, Toolroom Records, Railyard Recordings, Resopal Schall- ware, Definition Records, SK Supreme Records, Techno League Rec, K:lender. Feuer aus allen Rohren und mit Nachdruck empfohlene Schall- druckkanonen seit 2003, das ist die Bilanz harter Arbeit im Studio, die sich über viele Jahre das At- tribut Massenbewegungsphänomen verdient hat. Und draußen, vor den Massen, wie sieht es da aus? Jeder, der Arnd mal vor einer Menge hat spielen sehen, dem wird jetzt ein Schmunzeln auf das Gesicht huschen. Warum? Weil man sich ge- trost die Frage stellen kann, wie jemand nach etwa 20 Jahren DJing noch mit so viel Unbeschwertheit und gleichzeitig so viel Abgebrühtheit an die Sache heran gehen kann. Vielleicht ist es genau dieser magische Funken der ersten Stunde der Unberührtheit vom Urkern des Techno, der bei jedem seiner Sets aufblitzt und die Menge immer ein klein wenig mit erleuchtet. Das ganze wichtige Gebaren um die DJ-Kanzel herum ist auf keinen Fall seine Welt. Arnd ist der DJ, der danach nicht im Backstage verschwindet, um Champagner zu trinken, sondern der Fan, der zusammen mit dem Rest der Menge die Platten seines Nachfolgers feiert. Es ist diese offene und ehrliche Art, die den „drumcomplex“ so simpel an die Menschen her- anträgt, dass sich niemand in der Menge gegen seinen fast kindlichen Charme erwehren kann. Ein Funke der Harmonie, der sich in der Szene gerne wieder an mehr Stellen finden könnte.

BIOGRAPHY

She carries her unstoppable energy since childhood, while growing up in a poor Thailand countryside. Moving to the city of Korat and changing various jobs led her to a modeling engagement in Europe. A turbulent journey began one clubbing night in Germany 2002, when the sound of techno kicked her for the first time and she knew: This is what she wanted for her life. She devoted herself to find a perfect sonic fuse, by practicing on turntables she took back home. Gigs on the island of Koh Samui launched her internationally within the shortest amount of time. Crafting her techy sound without any guidance, in the country marked by mainstream only, she pioneered the rise of the underground, and conquered the rest of the world simultaneously. As increasing crescendo of her totally self-made career, Nakadia pinned around 60 countries to the gig-list so far, performing far more than 1000 times. She magnetized legendary Watergate Berlin, Cafe D Anvers Antwerp, The Egg London, D Edge Sao Paulo, Lola Shanghai, just to name a few. In February 2015, Nakadia invited legendary Sven Vath to play together in Koh Samui, burning down the beach of her “home island”. In summer 2015, she will be back on the ANTS Stage at Ushuaia Ibiza for the second season, being part of “theANTS colony” - voted Ibiza’s best event 2014. Inspired by Berlin life since 2010, Nakadia’s superb productions are stepping up her impressive career even further. Check & Run Technasia Remix stayed within the Beatport Techno Top 40 for seven weeks. Carl Cox pointed out her track Signs of Happiness as a “Global warmer” at his “Ibiza Global” Radio show. The Journey, produced with legendary George Morel and released on Get Physical in February 2015, marked the year as the most prolific so far. And more EP’s are ready to be released on Heinz Music (May 2015), Kittball (July 2015) and other labels, till the end of the year. From the sweet Asian girl behind the decks to a worldwide respected party-rocker, from the dark clubs to a the massive festivals, from Asia to Europe and back – Nakadia is taking her career step by step from one level to the next, and she is just getting warm.

Hardfloor is the project of Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker from Duesseldorf, Germany and was formed in 1991 as the German acid and techno scenes were just in the beginning. They released the 9-minute track “Acperience 1" soon after deciding to inject a bit of bombast into the German scene. This ground-breaking single made their name instantly recognisable to European clubbers. Utilizing since-standard compositional tools like long, melody-driven buildups and elaborate percussion breaks, the track became an instant dancefloor anthem and made Hardfloor a sought-after name for remix and production work. Hardfloor remix credits include Mike Oldfield, The Shamen, New Order, Mory Kante a.s.o. and are also classics today. Although the pair recorded briefly for the Eye Q label ("Let da Bass go ", "Drugoverlord"), most of the group´s early works has come out through Sven Vath´s influential Harthouse imprint, including a number of full-length releases and a consistent schedule of 12-inches and EPs They have since evolved from the more simplistic floor-movers of their earlier work, incorporating elements of hip-hop, electro, breakbeat techno, and post-acid house styles like trip-hop and intelligent dance. Each new album release has seen a slights change in their musical style but the group remains committed to the smoldering edge of acid and the sound of the Roland TB 303 comprising the lion´s share of their recognizable sound. Their signature manipulation of the Roland TB303 revolutionized the techno world – Ramon and Oliver became masterful at coaxing catchy sequences and basslines out of their multitude of magical silver boxes, a style that influenced a generation of young producers and has been endlessly imitated, never surpassed. In 2011 they celebrated they´re 20th anniversary with the release of the CD-Box "20 - Two Decades Of Hardfloor". In 2014 they´ve released their 9th studio album with the significantly name “The Art Of Acid”. In 2015 they´ve released a couple of 12“s on different labels. At the moment they´re working on their tenth studio-album for their 25th Anniversary in 2016.

Marleen Polakowski (*1990 in Köln) ist eine Techno DJane und gelernte Musikproduzentin. „Stillstand ist Rückschritt“, so das Motto der noch recht jungen, aber durchaus erfolgreichen Künstlerin. Ihr „Metier“ ist der Techno: groovig, straight nach Vorn und beeinflusst von melodiösen Klängen. Ihre Kreativität und ihr musikalisches Gehör leiten Sie immer zu einem Perfektionismus, der ausnahmslos eine Top Performance garantiert. Marleen Polakowski entdeckte schon im Alter von 14 Jahren ihre Leidenschaft für die elektronische Tanzmusik. So kam es, dass Sie 2004 das Mixen von Vinyl erlernte. 2006 verschlug es Sie für fast zwei Jahre nach Australien, um sich musikalisch weiter zu entwickeln und das Produzieren zu erforschen. 2008, zurück in Deutschland, startete die damals 17-jährige Marleen im Rheingold Saal (Düsseldorf) und Butan (Wuppertal) ihre DJ Karriere. Seit jeher tourt die junge Künstlerin durch viele Clubs Deutschlands und entwickelt sich durch die vielen Eindrücke stets weiter. 2011 releaste Sie noch unter Ihrem alten Künstler Namen „Mimi Marleen“ ihre erste EP "Confused Flute" auf „Baile Musik“. Danach folgten gleich zwei Remixe, u.a. für Patrik Bergs Hit “Aquamarin” beim Berliner Label „Fanciful“. 2013 trat sie dem Label „Black Circus“ von Mike Maaß bei und darauf das Jahr war die junge Künstlerin durch ihre Auftritte im Sankeys auf Ibiza bereits international bekannt. 2015 wurde sie Teil des frisch formierten Kölner Labels „Uncut“, auf welchem sie mit Künstlern wie Mike Wall, Ixel, Lukas Freudenberger, Florian Frings uva. das erste Album als limitierte CD veröffentlichte. Aktuell stehen ihre EP „Vintage Mind“ beim mexikanischen Label „Urban Recording“ sowie ein weiteres Release beim italienischen Label „Shout Records“ des Künstlers Electrorites an.

If you lump together horror movies, fetish, Alsatian charm and impressive passion for music, it may look like the producer duo THE BADGERS. On the stage it appears in terms of two dark-dressed statures, who like to act out their anonymity behind masks and handle the machines delicately. After first contact at highschool in 2000, a close friendship between Yannick and Joel began – soulmates, whose connection is based on the deep love to the music. Always the same 6 vinyl records were the basic of the lessons in Joel’s garage, before a long lasting residency in an Eastern French house bar has started. Self-organised events in various locations and the desire for realization of their personal musical ideas followed. Crowned with success! Even a work-related territorial separation between Stuttgart (Joels current home) and Shanghai haven’t prevented to reach some No.1 chart positions within a short time. Until their first release in 2009, it took less than one year. With the “Deep Dark Mood EP” on Creepy Fingers Rec., as well the “Frozen Nipple EP” on Killing Machine Rec., they climbed to the top of the Beatport Minimal Charts in 2012. Mostly as Live-Act, they are touring since there in European clubs and follow principles like not playing unreleased tracks. Nevertheless, not even one performance sounds like the other, as they play and mix the loops and patterns from their tracks spontaneously – and always with a surprise effect. May you call them musical landscape painters. Foggy valleys are built through melancholic and romantical sounds, where fantasy creatures and monsters are shaped. In their imagination, black and red light reflections swirl around. But the most meaningful influence pulsates around the gothic theme and comes from the fetish universe. The weakness for sadomasochism and bondage gears is hardly mistakable. The musical structures tough are largely grounded on the puristic loop culture of German minimal and techno. Typically as well, industrial and mechanic sounding elements go along, no less than French Electro. Obviously many other artists are impressed by their diverse influencies, so the list of remixed producers and remixers gets more and more extended. This queue is leaded by producers like Johannes Heil, Patrick Lindsey, Danton Eeprom, Miro Pajic, Re:Axis, Andy Martin, Octave and more. The suitable voice to the dark sounds is often contributed by Berlin based artist Mz Sunday Luv. No wonder that their tracks meanwhile are frequently supported by acts like Richie Hawtin, Troy Pierce, Jennifer Cardini, Slam, Luciano etc.

Ricardo Rodrigues is the kind of artist that’s best described as ‘self-made’. His road to success took him from his birth town Lisbon, all the way to Holland, and then to Barcelona. Recently he felt it was time to return to his roots, and set up Industrialyzer’s headquarters in Amsterdam, the capital of the country where he truly discovered Techno, raves, and everything that makes people fall in love with this scene. Getting his name on the bill of the events he plays today has not been an easy job. Because Ricardo plays and produces the kind of uncompromising electronic music he does, it’s been a struggle to compete with rapidly changing trends, and the fickle mistress that is the electronic music industry. Let’s be fair, if in the last decade you weren’t willing to diverge to House, Minimal, or some other fashionable sub genre to please the whims of the crowd, you probably didn’t have an easy time making your way. Luckily, the thing with talent is that it only takes one person to be recognised and nourished. For Rodrigues this person was fellow Portuguese Cisco Ferreira, aka The Advent. Call it kindred spirits, call it whatever you want; the two immediately hit it off and started exchanging musical ideas from the get go. Ferreira on Industrialyzer: “He’s creative, technically inventive, has a big sound, and he’s no quitter! We both took the underground route, building slowly and keeping full control over our music and careers, without the support of mass media or powerful friends. In my eyes he’s the next generation.” Quickly after their encounter, Ricardo started releasing on imprints as Drumcode, MB Electronics, Bush, Patterns, Mote Evolver and of course The Advent’s Kombination Research. By now there are a huge number of Industrialyzer originals to underline Rodrigues’ gift for speaking to the masses through stripped down, high energy Techno. Also he’s delivered many remixes and reworks with the Advent for the likes of Umek, Green Velvet, Pig&Dan, Alex Bau, and Tom Hades to name a few. Today, Industrialyzer’s plays the best underground festivals and clubs around the globe, both solo and with Cisco. Nature One, Awakenings, Day and Night Festival, Berghain, Tresor, well… you know the brand names. He also runs Codeworks, reserved mainly for a selection of the duo’s joint output. Just as most good Portuguese wines traditionally have a Reserva label.

Jan started producing electronic music at the age of 16. Especially fascinated by the harder and uncommon styles of music like Drum n’ Bass and underground Hardcore Jan didn’t take a long time to find his real passion: Hard and dark Techno. In order to present his favorite music and especially his own music to an audience he started DJing some time later. In 2007 he had his first chance to play his first gig on a newcomer-contest at Fusion- Club in Münster/Germany. Several gigs followed, especially in his former hometown Saarbrücken. In the end of 2008 he published his first vinyl release “Turn Red” on Sven Wittekinds label Inflicted records, which became a great success and was played on events like nature one, mayday or syndicate by the most famous representers of the hard scene. Afterwards he released and remixed techno and hardtechno tracks on many more labels like Abstract, Frown, Distorted, Black Circus or Animasola and his tracks were featured on the most recent Techno-CD Compilations like the Syndicate-Compilation series, Schranz & Loops, The Best in Hardtechno, Decibel, Xtreme Hardtechno, Schranz Total or the Q-Base Compilation. Receiving more and more attention for his tracks and his live-act performances which are combining his own style of dark, melodic and industrial atmospheres he is constantly playing in clubs all over europe and even played several times at events in south america (Venezuela and Colombia). He is also often part of festival-lineups representing the harder styles like Q-Base Festival, Nature One, Montagood, Ruhr in Love, Liberty White or Toxicator.

Dani San, born on the 28th of July, 1987 in Ulm (Germany), came into contact with Techno for the first time on a small Hard-Techno Party in 2000.

Many gigs in Germany followed, for example at Ruhr in Love Festival, Douala (Ravensburg), Sommerklang Festival (Ulm), Sucasa (Ulm), Four Runners Club (Ludwigsburg) and Kollektiv Club (Hannover), only to name some of them. He particularly looks forward to an upcoming gig at “La Caleta” in Nuoro (Sardinia). In order to bring his passion on a higher level, he began producing his own tracks in 2010. As first German producer on this label he will be releasing his first track “Run” on Black Eye Records which will be available as of 28.11.2011 at Beatport.com, soon afterwards being followed by his Chop Wood EP.

Daniel Boon ist ein Berliner durch und durch – und nicht mit dem amerikanischen Pionier gleichen Namens zu verwechseln, auch wenn gewisse Gemeinsamkeiten bestehen: Immer auf der Suche nach neuen Einflu?ssen, zog es den gebu?rtigen Westberliner nach der Wende ins Szenenviertel Friedrichshain. Umgeben von einer lebendigen Elektroszene wurde der gelernte Dachdecker mit Musik sozialisiert und begann anstelle Ziegel auf Dachstu?hle, Platten auf sich drehende Teller zu legen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Sound, der so wind- und wetterfest ist wie einst die Da?cher, die er inzwischen nur noch mit knackigen Ba?ssen bewegt. Ohnehin: Wer zu Daniel Boon tanzen geht, muss sich um a?ußere Wetterbedingungen keine Sorgen machen – auf dem Dancefloor wird es immer leidenschaftlich-laut bis ausgelassen-exzessiv. Von Berufswegen schwindelfrei, sind bei ihm die Grenzen nach Oben nur schwer abzusehen. Seit 1997 bearbeitet er Plattenteller und la?sst die Lautsprecher die Vielfalt Berliner Technomusik ausspucken. Experimentell und variantenreich, kreativ und grenzenlos legt er Sounds ineinander, die am Ende trotzdem ganz nach ihm klingen und in den Clubs der Hauptstadt bestens bekannt sind. Ab 1998 legte er regelma?ßig im Matrix Club auf, kurz darauf startete seine erste eigene Partyreihe „Electrosex“, die in sta?ndig wechselnden Orten fu?r orgastische Na?chte sorgte. Zusammen mit Oliver Tatsch gru?ndete er 2003 die Veranstaltungsreihe „OstfunkBerlin“ im Club Maria am Ostbahnhof. Ein Jahr spa?ter zog man mit einer weiteren neuen Veranstaltungsreihe, „IncognitoBerlin“, in den legenda?ren Club Tresor. Aber Auflegen und Veranstalten reicht Boon nicht, und so schleicht sich seit 2003 auch der eine oder andere eigene Track in seine na?chtlichen Sets. Die erste 12“ „Whoop!“ (OSTF007) erschien 2008 auf dem mit Oliver Tatsch im Jahr 2005 gegru?ndeten Label Ostfunk Records. Seit 2010 schmiedet er zusammen mit Stereo Jack als JackDaniel hochprozentige Sounds – der beste Beweis dafu?r ist die erste gemeinsame Vero?ffentlichung „DancingClappingScreamingShouting“ (OSTF026).?

Born and raised in Berlin, Daniel Boon is like his namesake, the American pioneer, never afraid of new pathways and ideas. And thus he moved from West Berlin to East Berlin´s vibrant and trendy district Friedrichshain after the fall of the Wall. Here he was socialized with electronic music and soon began taking his first steps as a DJ in the Matrix Club in 1997. Shortly after, he started his own event series, “Electrosex”, which was accountable for numerous orgiastic party nights in various Berlin party locations. In his next endeavor, he joined forces with Oliver Tatsch: the first “Ostfunk Berlin” party was celebrated in the club Maria am Ostbahnhof in 2003. This bombshell of a party was soon followed by a new event series, “IncognitoBerlin”, held in the legendary old Tresor until the club´s closing in 2005. That very year Boon and Tatsch launched Ostfunk Records, which has become one of Berlin´s leading techno labels to date. When Daniel Boon is not spinning the decks or organizing parties, he is producing new tracks. He has been releasing his own music since 2008, his first record being “Woop!” (OSTF007), which was remixed by Lu?tzkirchen (“Drei Tage Wache”) and was received enthusiastically by critics and fans alike. In 2010, he teamed up with Stereo Jack to become JackDaniel – a high-volume techno project that saw its first release “DancingClappingScreamingShouting” (OSTF026) on Ostfunk Records in 2011.?

Sandar Sánchez (*26.07.1990 in Weingarten, Deutschland) ist ein Deutscher Deep/ Techhouse/ Techno Dj und Produzent. Der 1990 im beschaulichen Weingarten geboren und aufgewachsene Alexander Kufner begeisterte sich schon in jungen Jahren für die Musik. Vom Schlagzeug bis hin zum Piano übte er sich in verschiedenen Instrumenten und Stilrichtungen, welche ihn bis heute auf seinem Weg begleiten. Im Alter von 11 Jahren kam er durch seinen Freundeskreis zum ersten Mal mit der Musikrichtung Hip Hop in Kontakt. Begeistert und gefesselt von den großen internationalen wie auch nationalen Idolen des Hip Hop, der Freiheit und der Leidenschaft zur Musik beschloss er seinen Gedanken freien Lauf zu lassen und beschäftigte sich mit dem Produzieren von Musik. Von nun an drehte sich Tag ein Tag aus alles um die Musik. Bereits mit 14 Jahren nahm er schon professionelle Songs auf und produzierte kurze Zeit später ein deutsches Hip Hop Album mit über 20 Songs. Der Freundeskreis wuchs - neue Einflüsse, viele Freunde, viele verschiedene Ansichten, viel Musik und jede Menge verschiedene Genres. Ein Durcheinander aber eine Chance neue Dinge kennen zu lernen. Zunehmend waren jetzt neben den Hip Hop Veranstaltungen auch öfter Techno und Techhouse Party ?s angesagt. Von da an ging es durch die für ihn neue Musikrichtung in verschiedenste Städte um mit den unterschiedlichsten Menschen den Sound und die musikalischen Werke großer Techno Djs und Produzenten zu erleben und zu zelebrieren. Zu dieser Zeit begann Sanchez mit dem Auflegen und parallel dazu mit dem Produzieren. Elektronische Musik wandelte sich nun zu seinem musikalischen Mittelpunkt und der Name des durchaus jungen Künstlers wuchs. Sandar Sánchez, Resident im Club Douala Ravensburg dem wohl bekanntesten Club für elektronische Musik Süddeutschlands, der in Fachkreisen auch das „Wohnzimmer“ der Süddeutschen Technoszene genannt wird, zeigt jeden Monat seine neusten Sounds und Produktionen die nun weitaus über die Grenzen des Ravensburger Landkreises gehen.

Valeri Ivanov “Timmo” was born in Pleven, Bulgaria (1989). His talent in music was first sparked at the age of fourteen when he started composing music in popular genres. Despite the fact he was sixteen, he was drawn and fascinated by the underground clubbing scene. This new interest had an immediate impact on his own music productions. By the end of 2009 Timmo got his first break in the music industry. His collaboration with his good friend PHM won the “WE LOVE SPACE...” contest and their remix of TRNSSTR’ “The Joker” was released on Timo Garcia’s Berwick Street. The remix was featured in Carl Cox Global and was one of the top arsenals of Timo Garcia’s own sets for a long time. Timmo’s career was full speed ahead as he found his new home in the name of the dutch techno label co-founded by Remy and duo On/Off – Fone Audio. After numerous releases, played and supported by the likes of Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, among many others, Timmo scored his first record to Sian’s Octopus Recordings. That was clearly not enough, as he also mixed a VA Compilation for the imprint, including tracks by Slam, Juan Sanchez, himself and more. To finish 2013 at top level, Valeri made appearance on Markantonio’s Analytictrail with his 3-tracker “Bermuda”. We should also mention numerous remixes he did for artists such as Sam Paganini, Jewel Kid, The Junkies and Worakls to name a few. In 2014 things got pretty serious for the 24year old Bulgarian, as he signed his first record to the most successful and honored techno label – Drumcode. All four tracks made it to the Beatport charts, as “Canvas” was Timmo’s all-time best. It was not only played by the biggest names in the techno scene like Adam Beyer, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin and Sasha, but also found place in the mixes of Tiësto, Above & Beyond and Roger Sanchez among others. The success Timmo had with his music, quickly started to give its fruits. For the past years, he spread his sound over some highly rated clubs such as Sugarfactory in Amsterdam, La Guacara Taina (The Cave) in Santo Domingo, which is one of the most interesting clubbing locations in the world, as the club is an actual underground cave. Timmo joined the well-known Komplex 457 in Zurich, Magdalena in Berlin, Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt, Cabaret Aleatoire in Marseille and many other clubs around the globe in countries like Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia and more.

SHDW & Obscure Shape Marco Bläsi & Lui Urban, better known as SHDW & Obscure Shape founded From Another Mind in April of 2014, a party which brought their favorite artists to their hometown Stuttgart. Of course the natural progression from promoting a successful clubnight is founding an imprint that carries the night´s ideals on to the decks of likeminded DJs, and so the first From Another Mind record was released in 2015, a stellar debut for both the label and its producers. The “Nachtblende EP“ gained wide acclaim throughout the Techno community, with the tracks recieving support from scene stalwarts, bloggers and critics alike. Their DJing fuses oldschool influences of Acid, Rave and EBM with the dramatic Techno sound one can hear on the FAM records. They are equally comfortable with the first, the last or the peak slot of a night, thus making them universal party weapons. Though young at age, their record collection demonstrates musical knowledge some veterans can only hope to gain and he swiftly but thoughtfully moves through different periods of electronic music in their sets. This year the pair will release the third EP on From Another Mind, along with a remix package including previous guests from their Stuttgart and Munich nights.

Both being notorious for their excessive passion for party and a knack for the appropriate music, their joined forces represent a mighty double dose of up-to-date Progressive sound. So it’s no wonder that the gigs and releases of Fabio & Moon hit the nerve of the international dance floors from the very first moment. It was around 2005. Fabio knew that there was some other DJ in his hometown Hamburg named Benni Moon - and Benni Moon knew that there was some other DJ in his hometown Hamburg named Fabio. When the two of them met each other on the way to a gig, they eventually made acquaintance. Also, they figured out that they were neighbours. Next thing they figured out was that next door there was quite interesting music: Both already had a great background as musicians and thus a lot of experience. Since they got along very well with each other, they started DJing together. This venture turned out to be a very promising one when the dance floor went on fire during their first mutual gig in 2007. One year later, Fabio and Benni decided to take their musical relationship to the next level and moved to a shared apartment as well as a shared studio. Their sound could be described as fresh, playful, vocal-orientated, minimal Progressive Trance with a lot of bouncy offbeat rhythms and a touch of Pop. Already their debut, the Disco Damage EP, reached a number 1 ranking in the charts of Beatport. The follow-up turned out to be even more successful- the Crazy Trip EP became a highly acclaimed hit. Also the next releases, including a collaboration with Interactive Noise, gained remarkable good feedbacks. The bursting-with-energy live appearance of Fabio & Moon did the rounds within the international scene. Among numerous gigs at many big open air festivals in Europe, like Summer Never Ends, Waldfrieden Wonderland, VuuV or Psychedelic Circus, especially their set at Aurora Festival 2010 in Greece became a memorable event in terms of fresh’n’frisky Progressive pleasure.

Amid a serious dearth of US techno producers in recent years, Charles Duff, also known as Matrixxman, has been busy soundtracking the technological singularity that unfolds before us. His sound tends to be cold and mechanised yet somehow retains an element of warmth, perhaps even soul, if you will. A lone spark of instantiated humanity that refuses to be extinguished by the din of automata marching toward us. Should you be the type of person who seeks validation from others, his music has been played by the likes of DVS1, Rødhåd, Jeff Mills, Ben Klock, Richie Hawtin, and Levon Vincent, to name a few. He has also had the distinct pleasure of being remixed by Larry Heard, Silent Servant, and The Hieroglyphic Being, for whatever that´s worth. After a steady output of EPs on labels like Dekmantel, Planet Rhythm, and Delft, he released his first full-length album on Ghostly International in July of 2015.

Currently considered as one of the rising stars on the global Techno scene, Steve Shaden has rapidly gained fame and respect thanks to the incredible musical successes he has achieved through the years. Steve’s love and fascination for music began at the tender age of 8, when he was first introduced to drums, the source of the central beat that would never leave his creative imagination. Around age 13 his passion for techno music began, first following the Italian techno-progressive scene and all of its pioneers in the ´90s, and then following by the early Hardstyle of the early years of the 2000s. Beginning in 2005, Steve began to expand his horizons and focus solely on the European Techno movement, creating the music that would define him as the artist that he has become.

Der Italiener Domenico Spinelli wurde in Isny im Süden Deutschlands am 08. November 1990 geboren. Er wuchs in seiner Großfamilie behutsam auf und hatte genügend Freiraum um sich musikalisch zu entfalten. Durch seinen Bruder der diverse Veranstaltungen organisiert kam er auf den Geschmack des Minimals und Technos, lernte durch die vielen verschiedenen DJ`s auch die verschiedenen Techniken und Arten des auflegens kennen. Im Jahr 2010 bemerkte er schnell seine Begabung und beschloss es einmal zu versuchen. Mischpult, Plattenspieler und andere Techniken waren schneller gekauft und aufgebaut als man schauen konnte. Domenico Spinelli legte sein ganzes Herz in die Musik bis er dann endlich am 25.06.2011 seinen ersten DJ auftritt bekam. Im Club Cafe Central in seinem Heimatort Isny. Die Begeisterung der Menschenmenge und der Erfolg war groß und so kam er auch schnell zu monatlichen Gigs im Szeneclub Douala in Ravensburg, in das Dome in Lindau und auch in das Opal in Lochau/Österreich. Seid her spielte er mit DJ Größen wie Brian Sanhaji, Emerson, Holgi Star, Super Flu, Pele, Pig & Dan, Daniel Steinberg, Patrick Kunkel und noch vielen mehr.

There´s only one obvious thing in the sound of Neelix: Relentless forward boost. Exactly how this boost is generated is not obvious at all – which makes it catchy in the most subliminal way possible. The German artist playfully incorporates elements of Progressive Trance, Progressive House and Electro. However, the actual magic of Neelix happens somewhere inbetween those genres. For 10 years already this unique formula made him a crowd-pleaser at a great variety of dance events on all 5 continents, including monumental festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland or Boom.

Andys Leben als Techno Dj und -produzent ist wie seine Musik selbst: zackig, knackig, Techno – mit Biss und Bums und Druck und Schub. Von Anfang bis Ende gleichen seine druckvollen Sets mitreißenden, soundgela-denen Abenteuern mit aufregend bewegenden Basskulissen. Er legt Musik nicht einfach auf, er spielt mit ihr, schnappt sich sein Publikum und nimmt es mit auf seine Technoreise. Von einem der auszog, Techno zu machen Andys musikalische Reise ins Land des 4/4 Takts begann um 1993 in einem kleinen, leisen Dorf in Sachsen- Anhalt. Er meint, er ist schon so lange von elektronischen Sounds und dem Mixen von Tracks fasziniert, dass er sich kaum an eine Zeit ohne erinnern kann. Mit dem proTracker auf dem Amiga und später mit einer Groovebox begann er erste eigene Sounds zu arrangieren, legte von `93 – `97 als resident auf seiner ersten eigenen Technopartyreihe auf und gründete 1997 mit zwei Freunden die Dj Crew Tectrex, die bis heute – und schon lange nicht mehr nur im Osten – die Wände wackeln und die Puppen stampfen lässt. Als hätte der Kopf der Tectrex Crew nie etwas anderes gemacht, organisierte er unvergessliche Undergroundpartys in einer stillgelegten Russenkaserne und schenkte 2001 einer alten Matratzenfabrik in Sommerschenburg ein neues Leben und mehr als 600 Technofreunden einen Ort, wie ein Zuhause und einen Grund, um am Wochenende aufzustehen und nicht schlafen zugehen. Der Krachgarten wurde geboren. Von Ost nach West Einige Jahre nach dieser legendären Ära und viele weitere Gigs später, u.a. in der Alten Papierfabrik in Ro­dersdorf, im Kfm in Hadmersleben, auf der Loveparade in Berlin, in der Sackfabrik in Magdeburg, im Salz­werk in Wilhelmshall, in den Sandsteinhöhlen in Halberstadt und und und, zog es ihn 2009 schließlich nach Braunschweig. Mit im Gepäck: Techno aus dem Osten. Oder wie er es nennt: „Zackebarsch und Druff-wecke“. Angekommen in Braunschweig machte er sich zuerst als resident im Loco und später im Soleil einen Namen als Techno Dj in der Braunschweiger Szene. Selbstgemachtes mit Schmackes und Zombies Doch nicht nur als Dj und Veranstalter verbreitet er bis heute Techno, so wie die Sonne Lebensfreude, son­dern auch als Produzent. So traf er 2011 auf das Berliner Sublabel “Loud´n`Proud” von B12 Records Germa­ny und produzierte daraufhin zwei offizielle Remixe für die Mayday 2012 unter dem Namen Motor Trend bei dem Westbam Label Bass Planet und veröffentlichte 2 Jahre später schließlich sein erstes Technoalbum, Zombie Sounds, bei 2zRecords. Heute hat Andy mittlerweile sein eigenes Label, tectrex records, bei dem er seit 2015 Techno mit Schmackes bastelt und baut, Töne kreiert und selbst in die Tasten haut. Er kann´s nicht lassen Und so wird aus Liebe das Laut. 2012 eröffnete Andy – wieder gemeinsam mit Freunden – seinen eigenen Technoclub in Braunschweig, den Laut Klub. Und auch da ist wieder alles selbstgemacht. Denn wer hat, der kann und wer will, der macht. Und Andy Macht macht´s – Techno mit Liebe, wie früher nur heute und aus Spaß an der Freude. Auch das noch Dass Andy ein wahrer Technoallrounder ist, beweist er seit 2013 nun auch noch als Gründer und Vorstands­vorsitzender des gemeinnützigen Kunst- und Kulturvereins KuK-BS e.V., in dem er sich mit Freunden ganz für die Freiheit der elektronischen Underground-Musik einsetzt. Und womit er sich schließlich auch den Rahmen geschaffen hat, den er brauchte, um für die Musik, die er liebt, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, auf die Straße zu gehen. Seit 2014 organisiert er die schon von Anfang an überregional bekannte Demonstration/Parade “open your mind“ auf Braunschweigs Straßen und ruft damit und seit dem jährlich zu mehr Freiheit, Vielfalt und Respekt für die elektronische Musik auf. Er hat noch lange nicht genug Egal, was Andy auch ausheckt, ob als Dj, Produzent, Veranstalter oder Vereinsvorstand und egal wo er auch auftaucht und auflegt oder live die Knöpfe dreht und drückt, Andy sorgt immer für Spaß, Spannung und Techno bis hinten hin. Denn genau das ist sein Ding und seine Art Techno zu leben. Er will nicht einfach nur spielen und er wollte nie nur ein Teil der Technobewegung sein, sondern sie selbst mit seinen Ideen und Wünschen mitgestalten und Fußspuren in ihrer Geschichte hinterlassen.

Men of the moment and flavours of the month come and go, as the phrases suggest. It’s relatively easy to get a short-term buzz in dance music – but in these days of limitless downloads and increasing disposability, few hotshots have got it what it takes to go the distance. Lützenkirchen is one name that refuse to go away. Munich’s foremost electro-techno exponent has moved effortlessly between underground and overground success in recent years – scoring a German Top 10 chart hit with the huge 3 Tage Wach while putting out a prolific, consistent stream of cool and credible club tracks, all a decade after he first began producing. From his huge remixes for the likes of John Digweed and Coburn to his outstanding 2008 artist album Pandora Electronica, the power and quality of his productions rarely slip. Meanwhile his acclaimed live sets continue to grow in reputation, his charismatic stage presence bringing a breath of fresh air to the usual limp and lifeless laptop workout. Tobias Lützenkirchen’s roots in the music game go way back to 1992, when he first appeared on record as singer. After immersing himself in his love dance music by working as a promoter in Ibiza in 1995, he worked as a professional background vocalist and songwriter on some major projects from 1996 to 1999, before succumbing to the house and techno bug that had been slowly consuming him. Some 20+ aliases, artist names and collaborative groups later, Lützenkirchen was born in 2005 – the name with which he would finally become a global star. Blending infectious, jacking techno grooves with dirty electro sounds and dashes of house, his sounds is electronic as they come, but with a real sense of funk that makes his music accessible to a wide range of DJs, clubbers and part-time dance music enthusiasts. He doesn’t follow the musical crowd – but that’s not to say that he doesn’t know how to keep the music fresh. Continually striving to innovative and evolve his sound, you can always count on him to push things forward – rather than copying the latest hotshot or ripping off endless old records.He only began his DJ career in 2006, when the success of his productions began to bring booking requests from around the world, and by 2008 he had switched to performing pure live sets. But whether he’s playing to 300 people in a sweaty provincial German nightclub, or to 35,000 at a huge festival, his enthusiasm and passion are the same. The last two years have seen him play in every continent at least twice, with 8 tours of Brazil in the past 3 years alone. Despite this heavy travel schedule, he remains one of the most prolific producers around – with a level of quality that few can match.He’s not about hype, trends, fads or jumping on bandwagons – Lützenkirchen lets his music speak for itself. And 10 years on, it’s still telling quite a story…

There´s really only one predictable thing about Klopfgeister, and that is that the German producer keeps coming up with new ideas and unexpected turns in his musical development. His first album, released in 2005, was a balancing act between traditional Progressive Trance and new school influences. Ever since Klopfgeister became well-known for a style that always sounds like him, but never sounds the same. Well, actually there´s another predictable thing: The man has a good humour which reflects in his multi-layered arrangements, a humour that is truly contagious. Despite his busy international tour schedule he still finds the time to keep up a steady flow of new productions, even for his second project Nightsoul.

German based Boom Shankar is a Dj for Psychedelic Trance, the label manager of BMSS Records and an event promoter within Europe. Having been initiated into the Goa Trance scene in the early Nineties and by traveling the globe ever since, his sets are a mirror of the constant melting pot of fundamental Psytrance characteristics. Whether he is guiding the dance floor through the night or into the morning, the outcome is always a voyage filled with a depth and an energy that allows the crowd to feel a sense of freedom through Trance. Groovy, deep, mature, hypnotic and clearly distinguishable. Having played at many underground & major events worldwide, he has developed a full understanding of the flow and the energies of each dance floor and is flexible in terms of "styles". Through his impromptu sets, he is able to interact personally with each dance floor, taking the audience on a trans-formative journey. His sets are a direct form of communication through music. For Boom Shankar, this process of mutual giving and receiving between the DJ and the audience has led to meaningful feedback from festivals like S.U.N. and O.Z.O.R.A., Antaris, Fusion, VuuV, Glade, Summer never Ends, Hadra, Doof, Moksha, Transahara, Transylvania Calling, Timegate, Ometeotl, Universal Religion, Freqs of Nature, Trimurti, Neon and in clubs from New York to Bangkok, London, Tel Aviv and nearly every other corner of the world.

Unmissable face within the revival of the French techno scene, Jusaï grew up surrounded by a musical environment thanks to his family which has quickly noticed his remarkable capacities. Inspired by electronic music soon enough, he was instinctively steered towards techno whose productions codes enable him to easily cultivate his unique style which is caracterized by his background as a percussionist. As talented as curious Jusaï follows his own process when it comes to music production and proclaims his uncompromising trademark what makes his tracks easily identifiable within any sets. His natural ease to take over a various range of subgenres within the techno movement has got him to be detected by the very best veterans from the underground like Florian Meindl and Umek, respectively bosses at Flash Recordings and 1605 Therapy. When he´s not performing in the best French clubs, his music still got youngsters dancing as he´s played by an uncalculable number of international acts, be it the great Richie Hawtin, Sam Paganini and Rebekah or the new generation of European producers like Amélie Lens and Charles Fenckler. Now that he has started a new collaboration with the equally famous ARTS records run by Emmanuel, Jusaï has all the cards to go all-in.

Deutsch: "Und als sich der Dunst legte und keiner damit rechnete war er plötzlich da – Ben Dust. Mit seinem melacholischen Technobrett "Homeless" eroberte er die Szene in Windeseile, und renomierte Altmeister wie Gayle San oder Adam Beyer spielten den Track rauf und runter. Doch das war erst der Anfang, denn Ben hat noch einiges in der Hinterhand und wird auch 2017 auf seinem Stammlabel ReWashed neue Knaller veröffentlichen, wie z.B. Zusammenarbeiten mit Pappenheimer, in dessen Agentur "Abfahrt Würzburg" er sein neues Zuhause gefunden hat. " Englisch: "Just when the dust cleared up and nobody was expecting it – there he was – Ben Dust. With his melancholic Techno anthem "Homeless" he took the scene by storm and even grandmasters like Gayle San and Adam Beyer played his track on heavy rotation. But this was only the beginning, as Ben is already preparing his next massive strikes, that will be released on his resident label "ReWashed" through out the year. For example the collaboration with Pappenheimer, in who´s booking agency "Abfahrt Würzburg" Ben found his new home."

It all begins in 2013 when Matt started to create his own solid Techno after learning a lot about how Ableton works until he finally started to release his exclusively first elec- tronic Track. In 2014 he has made some experience with labels all over the world, which provided him with useful experiences and contacts in the Techno scene. After more and more contacts he began to release on well known la- bels like Naked Lunch, Onh.Cet, Elektrax, Driving Forces, Sabotage and many more. At the same time he had his first gigs where he received enthusiastic reactions from the crowd. After playing for established nights like „6 Ye- ars Abfahrt Würzburg“, he is now holding a residency for Abfahrt Nights and recently played several dates at Leh- mann Club, Nature One Festival, Bootshaus Cologne and many more. In 2015 Pappenheimer, who is the founder of the Team called Abfahrt Würzburg, invited Matt to join his Newcomer Group. Since then, he is playing more and more gigs in germany, which gave him the chance to promote himself. Matt always stands for solid Techno on the dar- ker side of the musical spectrum. His tracks and sets are journeys between rolling darkness and lightness, always far away from the tracks of the musical mainstream. The long friendship between pappenheimer and matt was par- ticularly noticeable in her musical collaboration like their „Drop“ EP. With a lot of di erent collab tracks and relea- ses he has built a group of friends in the scene. So matt‘s sound has grown up because of his studio experiences since the last years and he evolved to an well known ar- tist with support from DJs all over the world. His music is played by Chris Liebing, Klaudia Gawlas, Nicole Mou- daber, Kerstin Eden, DJ Rush, Umek, Niereich and many more. His musical creativity is also reflected in his designs. Because matt‘s personal interest in Graphic Design gave him the chance to create his own clothing brand, which is called MTMS, a shortcut of Matt Mus.

Chris von B. is a producer and DJ from Berlin whose roots go back to the industrial Ruhr area. His musical path was very broad from the beginning on and he strode freely but determined through the Genres of this world. After first endeavors in Hip Hop it became clear that electronic music is his poison. He soon bought his first records without any knowledge or wishes regarding his style. With the years and more experience he developed an exquisitely selected, 90s, driving sound. This sound reflects to this day in Chris von B.’s productions and sets. All in all, he stands for an industrial, dark, rhythmic, and planar style that he interprets in a new way in every set.

Black sunglasses, Tattoos, Headphones & a Laptop. His visual trademarks simultaneously serve as his most important tools. Those and his keen sense for Music enabled him to move crowds across the globe for the past 8 years. The young man from Berlin is actually more the reserved type, who would much rather stand behind his decks and let his music do the talking. Querox making his way from a local secret to the scenes ‘next big thing’ and to an internationally acclaimed Musician. At age 28 the producer and DJ has already established himself as one of the most successful German Psytrance Artist to date and is now set to lay forth his second album. Querox began playing smaller clubs as a DJ somewhere in Germany. Meanwhile, he has travelled the world: London, Rio De Janeiro, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Capetown, Melbourne... His 2012 breakthrough album (How Life Goes On), was a first sign of things to come. Though not even Querox himself could have predicted last year’s incredible snowball effect and the extent of his current success. 2014 marked the start of a fairytale summer. Building on this success, Querox went on to release around 15 releases & his beatport nr.1 singles (The Last Kiss, in May 2014, Shrouded ft. Monod in June 2015, Tripical Moon ft. Phaxe in February 2016 that aswel reached place nr.3 in the Beatport Main Charts). After performing at renowned events such as Brazil´s Universo Paralello, The German Indian Spirit Festival, Fusion Festival, Thailand´s Halfmoon & Full Moon Festival, the Burning Mountain Festival, VuuV Festival and many more as well as doing tours throughout Europe, America, Asia, Mexico, Africa and Australia, the rather introverted artist has already joined the ranks of the greats.

Vamos Art – That is Lars Giereth and Andi Zielbauer from Stuttgart While Lars has been turning the black gold since 2005, Andi got on board in 2009 with productions and live sets. Their musical background also shows further parallels – both were active as drummers in their youth for many years. Rhythm and beat have always been a part of their life. In the middle of 2012 they finally came together and then of course what happened was: Vamos Art was born! The Techno sound of Vamos Art is mainly characterized by soulful sounds and playful breaks that cause shivers on the dance floor. Melodious sound carpets are part of their musical repertoire as well as the driving bass lines. We are looking forward to their upcoming productions in the near future.

Behind "Krama" project is Dimitris Violitzis from Thessaloniki - Greece. He started producing electronic music in 2001 after a lot of experiments in various styles, including experimental, i.d.m., classical etc. Dimitris is a certified music technologist,sound designer,and programmer and also running his progressive house project "Randay". His main vision is to create a style of music, accessible to every ear, regardless one´s music background. The word Krama is Greek and means the mix of metals which can be translated as different styles that can be mixed to give one unique result that you can hear in the most known labels of Trance scene, such as: Zillion Mental Anarchy, Yellow Sunshine Explotion, Spin Twist Records, Vertikal Records, Savva Records and Midijum Records. Debut album "Terra Nova" released in the summer of 2008 from Vertikal Records was the first approach to a new sound, with techno-trance elements yet trancy feeling. The album got the attention of more commercial trance dj´s & listeners. Most of the tracks have been played by big names of commercial trance scene and have been in airplays of global radios for months. But that was not the path to be followed. Raised in psy-trance dancefloors since teen, he knew what was missing and he just had to make it real. In October of 2009 in cooperation with one of the biggest psy-prog labels, Spin Twist Records, the dream became reality. It started like a slow burning bomb but good things can´t stay hidden for long periods. Soon he started touring across Europe and spreading the sound. The vision became reality and he just had to share this music with every possible way, from the smallest to the biggest clubs, to the best open air festivals of the continent. People´s feedback was the best way to know that he were on the right path and he had to continue NO MATTER WHAT. After a year and a half, during May of 2011 the 3rd studio album appears like a musical odyssey. Together with the grinding, organic bass sounds, which float ´Across The Sea´ like a golden thread, it becomes pretty clear why "Krama" appropriately describe his music style as ´Power Progressive Trance´.

Formed in 2012, DAUI & xCyte began to produce tracks on their own. By gaining experience, both of them managed to improve their songwriting and technical skills from year to year. In 2015 they started to mix music and managed to get their first gigs. Now member of the german collective "Klangsynthese" they deliver fat basslines, playful melodies and a wide variety of Progressive and Psytrance.

Der aus Berlin stammende Mørbeck war bereits in seiner Jugend fester Bestandteil der Clubszene der Hauptstadt. Besonders inspiriert vom Hip Hop und dem Techno der 90er, begann er 2002 sein eigenes Studio aufzubauen und produzierte seine ersten Hip Hop und Electro Beats. Knapp 8 Jahre später erschienen, nach einigen anderen Projekten, die ersten Mørbeck Releases auf dem Label Vault Series, welche sofort große Anerkennung erhielten. Daraufhin folgten Produktionen und Remixe unter anderem auf den Labels Perc Trax, Soma, M-Rec und Fifth Wall. Er war sowohl Resident im Monasterio (Moskau) als auch im Stattbad Wedding (Berlin). Daneben spielte er in zahlreichen Clubs und auf diversen Festivals in Europa und über dessen Grenzen hinaus. 2013 gründete er sein Label „Code Is Law“ und schuf eine Plattform für sich und andere Künstler, die seine spezielle Vision und Leidenschaft für Techno teilen. Die dort spürbare Liebe zur Kunst und sein Anspruch auf Facettenreichtum spiegelt sich neben der Labelarbeit, auch stets in seinen Sets wider. Die Einflüsse aus seiner musikalischen Vergangenheit fließen nunmehr alle zusammen und prägen den typischen Mørbeck-Sound: Rauher, grooviger, melodiöser Techno der sich immer wieder neu erfindet. Paradebeispiel hierfür ist sein aktuelles Herzstück, die im Herbst 2015 erschienene Doppel EP „T.R.I.P.S“.

Matt Sassari hails from Marseille - France. Born on 8th March 1992. Thanks to his recent features on SCI+TEC, Tronic, Bitten and Deeperfect. Matt Sassari established himself as a strong producer. Matt entered into the world of electronic music and is now at the forefront of the techno scene in France. It´s a natural match with more than 15 releases under their belt. This has opened doors and drummed up the interest of several labels like Sincopat & Time Has Changed. A year on, and it´s a new label who will place their trust in Matt: Deeperfect, Stefano Noferini´s world-renowned imprint from Italy. Stefano & Deeperfect saw potential in Matt as a rising star in the techno music scene, with nine releases, remixes & a production pack for Beatport. Matt continues to work on collaborations with widely-known artists such as Ant Brooks, Miguel Bastida, Spencer K or Enrico Sangiuliano and is set to release productions on Bitten, Rusted, Kinetika, Alleanza or Rawthentic.

A mix of creativity, ingenuity, and intensity are the key components to create the fascinating Techno of the "The Reason Y” and although 2015 marked the beginning of this new project from Frederik Laaser, The Reason Y has, in a short time created a heavy buzz with his mind-blowing music, high energy gigs and a top notch event ’TRY Land’. “Feeling the vibe and connecting with the audience is what keeps me going. Those magic moments created by Techno is the primary reason I am here doing this". Frederik was born in the northern part of Germany and grew up in the city of Schwerin where he decided to spend all his time and money buying vinyl and honing his mixing skills before finishing High School and moving to Berlin. "Music always played a big role in my family. Between my Mom’s encouragement to push me to play a musical instrument and the big independent music collection of my Dad, music always had a profound influence in my life. “ With little effort, Frederik knew in which direction he was destined to go. With this type of musical background and a deep passion for hunting restlessly for new and outstanding music, it was only natural for him to find his way behind the controls. Before the founding of "The Reason Y“ Frederik used to play under several other pseudonyms for more than 10 years starting with gigs in 2006 at his local Club Komplex and eventually at Fusion Festival in Germany which would groom him to find his way onto the map of the international Techno scene of today. Over the last few years he´s refined his own style and signature to engage the audience in any environment no matter the time. His experience and knowledge behind the mixer as well as being an avid raver in the crowd has helped him to spread and unfold his creativity in the studio as well. Quickly his own productions caught the attention of massive acts such as Pan-Pot and Victor Calderone from New York. Being part of Pan-Pot’s Second State label helped Frederik to spread his sound across the globe finding his name on Festivals such as HYTE to Sunwaves and renowned clubs like Labyrinth in Belgium to Loft Club in Germany. He also can call himself a resident of the famous Watergate Club in his hometown Berlin, where he is hosting his own event called TRY Land sharing the decks with legends like Nicole Moudaber, Julian Jeweil and Technasia. Right now Frederik spends most of his time in his studio working on new material as he continues on his path to exposing the world to the trademark sound of The Reason Y. May the music be with you and see you on the dance floor soon.
