Nico Bio

Berlin native, Nico Stojan, has been all across the planet taking people on musical journeys since the early nineties. He developed a deep love for Jazz & Hip Hop before the vibrant growth of the famous Berlin electronic nightlife. Once the Berlin scene took flight, Nico was expressing himself with euphoric sets as a resident at Bar25. It didn’t stop there. Since then his sound has been welcomed by seas of desert dancers, festivals of warm hearts & clubs of ecstatic ravers. Nico’s productions find perfect harmony between analog & digital sounds, irresistible grooves accompanied by entrancing melodies. As the co-founder of Ouïe records, together with Acid Pauli, Nico is planning to produce more showcases and present his vision of modern dance music around the globe.

Kerala Dust Bio

Kerala Dust seeks to bridge that divide between electronic music and traditional songwriting, drawing on influences as far and wide as TomWaits, Talking Heads and Abdulla Rashim.
Currently based in South London, the strange and excessive confusion of the city is reflected back in the anonymity of Kerala Dust’s basement studio. Whether as a solo artist in production or as a live trio in performance: the members within the inclusive isolation of this project would like you to dance while also wondering if there’s really a point to anything. The realization that there is no point will merely be liberating.

ACID PAULI (OUÏE)

Over the last 20 years Martin Gretschmann has been exploring new fields of music off the mainstream paths: psychedelic, adventurous and full of musicality. In the mid 1990s Martin Gretschmann entered the light of attention with his pseudonym Console, an act he is known for until today. Shortly thereafter, Martin Gretschmann became a part of The Notwist and and added a certain electronic twist to the band. With his solo project Acid Pauli he created several records, remixes and podcast in the last couple of years. In collaboration with Andreas Ammer he created various radio plays. Since 2011 Acid Pauli lives in Berlin, where he became a part of the collective The Feathered Sun. In numerous collaborations with artists such as Björk or the Philharmonic Orchestra of Würzburg Gretschmann always explores new ways to express himself. Furthermore he took part in the unique project, The Golden Machine, a specifically developed electronic device which over the course of a whole year continuously produced music for a radio play, based on, Infinite Jest- by David Foster Wallace. After his debut album „Mst“ released on Clown & Sunset in 2012 his second album “BLD” was released on his in-house record label Ouïe in early 2017. Martin founded this record label together with Nico Stojan and handled the first release themselves. In 2016 he released his most popular track ‘Nana’ on the first label compilation of Pampa Records. At the same time he met Ilker Çatak who ask him to write the music for a feature film, “Es war einmal Indianerland”, a Coming of Age story based on the novel by Nils Mohl. The movie premiered autumn 2017 and Acid Pauli released the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of it.

Einmusik

Einmusik´s music is not an industry secret, but still an undiscovered star in the growing universe of electronic sounds. No straight line to follow, no seasonal sound, his cosmos is too big to dive through it within an hour. Born in the late 70’s he was influenced by Depeche Mode, the sound of Visage and Kraftwerk. Right after he slowly discovered the world of Drum and Bass and later emotional techno material with the little extra. With “Jittery Heritage“ he started many moons ago to create his own style, full of melodies and open soundscapes. A lot of releases and remixes on well known imprints from all over the world followed and a lot of long nights in the clubs.

Blond:ish, Öona Dahl

BLOND:ISH
https://soundcloud.com/blondish

Anstascia and Vivie-Ann AKA BLOND:ISH’s success lies in their eclectic musical creativity and their openhearted, spiritually attuned approach. Seeking a natural balance through constant evolution, the duo’s music responds to varied worldwide
environments and surroundings, rather than accepting limits imposed by either genre, location or gender barriers.

They play across house and techno genres, aiming for an uplifting and joyful otherworldly experience for listeners and party-goers alike.

BLOND:ISH began in 2008 as a party night which Vivie-Ann and Anstascia ran at Cherry club Montreal, and which organically became their joint name. International gigs and releases on labels including Noir Music and Get Physical brought them to the attention of Kompakt. This began a fruitful relationship with the revered label, which was home to their acclaimed debut album ‘Welcome to the Present’ in 2015. Three years on, the duo continue to embrace new fields, spreading their musical message worldwide through regular international appearances including Burning Man, WooMooN, Circoloco and their ABRACADABRA events in Tulum, USA and Scorpios (Mykonos), their summer residency last year. The duo were leading lights as the Tulum scene began to flower. Their international career blossomed with it, and in 2017, their ABRACADABRA brand was born on a beach in Tulum, crafted by BLOND:ISH and two friends. Meaning ‘I create as I speak’ in Aramaic, ABRACADABRA is a musical movement achieving international success. The signature blend is music, mischief and mayhem, with surprise DJs and edible décor which join together to form ‘a kind of backdoor to discovering our inner child.’ Part of this is their ‘sustainable raving’ credo, aiming by example to inspire promoters to work towards self-sustaining, single-use plastic-free events. Their ABRACADABRA lifestyle, event and party brand is currently celebrating its second year by budding into a record label this spring, with return residencies lined up at Scorpios (Mykonos), Ibiza, and sharing the magic with a stage at Tomorrowland for both dates. Their passionate commitment to spirituality and the environment has them spearheading a groundbreaking ‘sustainable raving’ movement. Anstascia and Vivie-Ann are deeply passionate about yoga, meditation and metaphysics, and plan month-long ABRACADABRA events and retreats to build on their passion. Vivie-Ann is a crypto enthusiast, aiming to reach and inspire people through the concept of cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin. With a South American tour this year and some vibrant new label debuts, residencies and festival gigs worldwide, as well as their new ABRACADABRA label on the horizon, BLOND:ISH will keep evolving and changing, while staying true to their own vision of the world and of music.

ABOUT ATISH
Manjumasi, Desert Hearts, Listed

www.facebook.com/atishmusic
www.soundcloud.com/atish

The Atish experience: dynamic, emotive, ecstatic. Yet it is more than the sounds emanating from the speakers, it is also the man behind the decks: warm, compassionate, inviting. He is an entertainer and a catalyst: a magician who mixes deep melodies and sophisticated rhythms into musical journeys.

Based in San Francisco, Atish has cultivated a devoted following around the world. He’s a natural performer who engages crowds with charm, a smile, and possibly a wig and a tutu. An obsessive music collector, Atish pulls from a broad sonic palette, and with these sounds he creates intimate atmospheres and emotional experiences that linger in your mind long after the music has stopped.

Atish’s passion goes far beyond the decks as well. As cofounder of the Manjumasi record label, Atish has created an outlet for other artists’ music as well as his own playful productions. He also hosts his own Late Night Tonite! Party series, which combines a sit-down talk show interview with an all-night dance party. This format provides a richer context for the music and strengthens the emotional bonds between the audience and the artist. For Atish, it allows him to experiment with what dance music is and what it can be.

Intimacy and connection are the foundations of the Atish experience. His multiple residencies speak to Atish’s ability to resonate with any crowd and highlight the range of his sound. From the blissed-out festival vibes of Desert Hearts, to the big city sophistication of New York’s The Cityfox Experience, and the small club coziness of Miami’s Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Atish brings people together with music and passion.

This passion can be heard on Atish’s numerous DJ mixes found on Soundcloud. A prolific mixer, Atish finds the DJ mix the perfect format to create compelling narratives of rhythm and sound. Scrolling through his extensive catalog of mixes, one can hear an artist devoted to the music and dedicated to the perfection of his craft. It’s the same devotion Atish receives back from crowds and fans the world over. They understand it’s more than the music and the crowd and the DJ, it’s the magic that awakens when it all comes together. That’s the Atish experience.

Hailing from San Francisco, Mark Slee is known to wear many creative hats. But two of his all-time favorite fashions are that of DJ and producer.

He is also one half of Manju Masi, a collaboration with long-time partner in crime Atish.

Blending his technical side with intuition and introspection, he takes an approach that tickles both mind and soul.

Slee’s sets have taken him far and wide, playing for audiences from Cape Town to Playa del Carmen, from Robot Heart to the Cityfox series in NYC. On the home front, his penchant for diverse and well-crafted warmup sets sees him regularly playing SF’s top clubs, opening for DJs like Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Guy Gerber, Mathew Dekay, Vincenzo, Andre Lodemann, and Hector.

Rounding things out are his original productions and remixes, released on Manjumasi, Cityfox, Tenampa, 5 and Dime, and Looq.

Lovestruckk

According to the Miriam-Webster Dictionary, the first known use of the word Lovestruck was in the year 1652. The meaning of the word is when someone is powerfully affected by feelings of romantic love for someone. It is likely the word has been with us since the days of the cave dwellers. Most of us have felt this strong emotion, as there is nothing quite like the brain in love.

Nico Stojan & Holmar met in a cave of sorts on the dancefloor of Kater-Holzig in Berlin. An instant friendship formed and shortly after they began working on music together. A few years later, on a beautiful Tuesday morning at the 2016 Burn, they played the closing set of that year atop the Robot Heart bus. This set has since become the stuff of legend and where their collaboration received the name “Lovestruckk”.

Individually these fine gentlemen have been involved in dance music for a long time.

Nico was born and raised in Berlin and originally became a touring hip-hop turntablist who found his love for house and techno on the dance floor of Bar25. There he eventually became a part of their family of DJ’s and played the final set there when the club closed its doors. Fast forward to recent years, where Nico’s debut album made it to the Top Ten of Billboard Magazine’s Best Dance Music Albums for 2016 and now he can be found globetrotting and playing festivals and clubs all over the world.
Holmar is from Reykjavik, Iceland and became enchanted by electronic music and choreography as a teenager and from that point on has been making it his life’s passion. He moved to NYC in the late nineties and quickly became a part of the underground music scene, both as promoter and DJ. A few years later he co-founded “Thugfucker” and after releasing “Disco Gnome” on Life & Death, has since been touring the world.

Djing was both Nico & Holmar’s first love and individually they are known for playing many marathon sets into the late, late hours wherever they go. When they play together you can expect a musical journey intertwining the musical talents of these fine gentlemen, forming an amalgamation of sounds that will surely leave you Lovestruckk.

Okaxy

While most will remember OKAXY from his performances with his well known side projects, you should also know him with his rare solo performances. While responsible for the remarkable Keta- Pop projects, there was indeed little time remaining presenting you his significant style which makes NINZE & OKAXY and WIDE AWAKE so special. Widely traveled with a bunch of inspirations from regions all over the world he mixes everything up he delivers quite a forward- looking sets promising a long lasting experience, on the dance floor and far above from it.

Geju

Geju music takes us on a journey through slow house, rituals sounds and chillrave. Welcome aboard.

Monolink
Singer-Songwriter and Electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture, which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he’s both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.

Guy Gerber has always favored the road less traveled. The Israeli DJ thrives on confounding expectations. What other underground DJ could collaborate with one of hip-hops biggest moguls, Puff Daddy, or start a left-field night at one of Ibiza’s most commercial clubs, Pacha? What other producer blends the worlds of melancholy and euphoria so effortlessly, or turns in a breakup album as an official mix for a revered club brand? It’s these kind of contradictions that define Gerber’s compelling duality.

Before he was fiddling with drum machines and synths, Gerber was all about groups like Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. These influences still echo clearly in his music today, whether it be his hypnotizing live performances or contemplative, moody productions. Over the course of four albums, Gerber has shown himself to be a singular artist. In 2007, he brought his debut album Late Bloomers to Sven Vath’s Cocoon, following that with 2009’s My Invisible Romance. In 2012 and 2013, he usurped the concept of a mix CD, delivering a Fabric album made up of 100% original new productions; then on Who’s Stalking Who creating an LP more akin to an extended composition than anything else. As a performer, Guy Gerber is consistently rated one of the best touring acts in dance music, earning a top 10 live performer nod three years in a row for Resident Advisor. When DJing he’s known for extended sets, epitomized by a 12-hour performance at Burning Man in 2014. Gerber’s sets are never forgettable, and he has an unerring ability to disrupt expectations, whether it be confounding Ibiza VIPs with his 2013 Wisdom of the Glove residency at Pacha –which even caught the New York Times’ attention, or 12 months later going in a totally new direction with his clandestine free Ibiza beach party, Rumors. Even at more traditional club residencies like those he holds at Marquee, Sound, and Story, Gerber acts as the subversion, transforming the normative experience into something alive with mysticism and mystique. On the label front, Gerber has helped curate and A&R some of underground music’s most intriguing talents. His label Supplement Facts hosted everyone from Chaim, to dOP, Guti and Kate Simko. In typical Gerber fashion, just as it was reaching its apex he put it on hold to launch a new imprint Rumors, a befitting title for the mischievously minded Gerber. The new project got off to a promising start, serving as home to Guy’s colossal collaboration with Dixon, “No Distance,” as well as his crossover album with Puff Daddy, 11:11, which proved one of 2014’s most startling and impressive LPs. As with Supplement Facts, Rumors reiterates Gerber’s attention to the visual aesthetic. Both labels have seen him collaborating with artists all over the globe, most recently with Miss Kittin on the critically acclaimed ‘Rumors on The Dancefloor’ EP. Rumors has also served as a home for EPs from other high-profile artists, like Seth Troxler, as well as enigmatic upcoming talents with unique styles, such as Clarian or Acid Mondays. However, RUMORS is of course more than a well-curated imprint, Gerber also launched the accompanying event series in the summer of 2014. The

RUMORS Ibiza party was a free event with a relaxed atmosphere, thanks to its setting in the Playa d’En Bossa beach hotspot Beachouse. Staying true to the original ethos of Ibiza, the RUMORS parties rejected hype by avoiding the mega-lineup announcements and posters across the rest of the island, with very little information about the parties being given away until the last minute, if at all. Despite this, 2015’s RUMORS parties saw huge artists like Sasha, Miss Kittin, Kenny Glasgow and Matthew Dear sharing the decks alongside Gerber, as well as many of the label’s upcoming artists. Following their Ibiza successes, Guy is now taking his RUMORS parties worldwide, with events at Art Basel Miami and stages at BPM Mexico and We Are FSTVL in London proving that RUMORS really do spread. However, Guy Gerber’s vision of the perfect musical event will remain the same no matter what the stage or country: “The night has a very particular flow… it has to start very deep, very spiritual, and it slowly builds up, never too fast. It’s a very natural-feeling party. The tracks played must have some substance, not too loopy, and have some kind of musical vibe in them. I’m looking for challenging deep house.”

What’s next for Guy Gerber? Like any good rumor, it’s sure to have tongues wagging.

Bedouin is a Brooklyn-based production & DJ partnership between nomads Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe who are creating their own idiosyncratic spell of melodies and rhythms. Together they share an eclectic sonic vision that pulls from diverse influences owing to their Middle Eastern heritage, Western upbringing, and world travels. Their combined musical backgrounds and ever-evolving taste captures the sensibility of imagination and constantly explores the connection between ourselves and the future.

KMLN (Sol Selectas)

In the Burning Man dusts of 5 years gone by, a story of two wanderers with a history for cross-pollinatingthe sounds of yesterday with the sounds oftomorrowfound their moment. With a shared taste in gourmet percussion, deep and rare rhythms, and cosmic culture, what resulted was KMLN, one of the most time-bending and pulsating acts currently circulating the global deep-eclectic house dance movement.Behind KMLN (pronounced Kameleon) is Shawna Hofmann and Christopher Tooker, electric future-shepherds with two very different backgrounds. While Chris was growing up in Italy devoting himself to learning the pantheon of musical genres, from jazz to psych rock, and becoming a multi instrumentalist with an obsession for poly rhythms, Shawna was absorbing the traditional sounds ofglobal culture byattendingthe longest largest running music folkfestival in the world inWinnipeg. Eventually they both found their ways to electronic music and years later forged a soundthat brings all oftheir tastes into one feast. Now, the duo spend time in exotically tribal lands throughout the less travelled world finding the source of rare and authentic sounds which often make their way onto tracks they release on labels such as Sol Selectors and Touch Of Class. At events around the globe, from Symbiosis Gathering and Lightning in a Bottle in USA, Shambhala in Canada, Wonderfruit in Thailand, BPM in Mexico, Powerful in Turkey, to clubs such as Katerblau & Watergate in Berlin, The Brooklyn Mirage, Flash DC, Great Northern SF, Woomoon Ibiza, Grand Factory in Beirut. Whether at the peak of the night or bringing bodies back to earth at sunrise, their musical twist of world infused deep melodic shape-shifting house/tech/minimal electronicais focused on making us move

CHRIS LIEBING Biography Chris Liebing is one of the artists in the steadily and rapidly growing world of electronic music who has faithfully dedicated the past 25 years of his life to the performance, production, distribution, and broadcasting of Techno on a global level. He has run a club and several successful club nights, has held residencies in many of the most prestigious venues worldwide, produced his own music and the music of other artists, founded record labels, hosted radio shows, won awards for different branches of his professional efforts and has been an unshakable pillar and devoted ambassador of innovative Techno. Just like many other artists who passionately dedicate a vast amount of time to a cause, evolution and constant change have been a significant part of his career and have led him to where he is at this very moment. In 2015 he is more in demand than ever and is continuously touring on various continents. After playing for established nights like Cocoon, Carl Cox and Music On in Ibiza, he is now holding a residency for HYTE at the island´s iconic Amnesia club and recently played several dates for Richie Hawtin´s ‘CNTRL: Beyond EDM’ US tour alongside artists like Loco Dice, Josh Wink, Seth Troxler, Matthew Dear, Matador, Dubfire and Victor Calderone. Chris always stood and still stands for solid Techno on the deeper side of the musical spectrum. His sets are sonic journeys between darkness and light, always far away from the beaten tracks of the musical mainstream. Being a kid from the 80s and growing up with Synth Pop bands like Depeche Mode and electronic dance acts like Nitzer Ebb amongst many others, his musical background also contains the melancholy, the vocals and the melodies from this era, which he increasingly blends into his current sets. People who exclusively know him for his fast and unrelenting Techno sets of the past might be surprised about those new facets he is adding to his at all times dynamic sound. He was one of the first DJs that used the new possibilities in the course of the digitalization of music in a consequent and creative way and is incessantly searching for new ways of intuitive expression. The real-time manipulation of the individual tracks and sounds plays an important role in his DJ sets. Due to the good co-operation with various software and hardware makers, his current setup offers him practically endless possibilities, which he uses to create an irresistible groove and an ever-changing, unpredictable musical flow.

With his continuous touring, his established CLR label and the CLR Podcast, which he hosted from 2009 until 2015, he has written international Techno history and has just recently started a new weekly radio broadcast. The AM/FM show is published every Monday and features an hour of one of his current sets without any edits or touches, just in its raw and unbridled form. After 25 years he is still inspiring generations of DJs and music lovers worldwide and is enjoying his craft more than ever.

READ MORE:
It all started in the early 90s when Chris started to dj a mixture of Hip Hop, Soul, Pop and House, gradually adding more and more Techno records to his sets until he finally started to play exclusively electronic music. In 1994 he opened his own club in Giessen, the Spinclub, where he could manifest his musical vision without any compromises. At this time he also gathered his first studio experiences and founded the label Soap Records with some friends. A job at Eye Q Records in Frankfurt provided him with useful experiences and contacts in the Techno scene. When he was called to fill in for a friend at the legendary Omen club, he received enthusiastic reactions from the crowd and kept playing there regularly together with many international DJs until the closing of the club in 1998.

In 1996 Chris left Eye Q and founded his first label called Audio. Before the label´s closure in spring 1999, they released 17 tracks, amongst them his productions Audio 07 and Audio 11, which received worldwide recognition. At the same time Chris developed a new passion by presenting his first radio show Evosonic Update, which supplied the listeners every Friday afternoon with party tips and vinyl critics on the radio station Evosonic. In 1999 his by now well-established label CLR was founded. This was the time when he also started to receive top rankings in various categories of the reader polls of the popular music magazines, amongst them “best national DJ”, “best remixer” and “best producer” on a regular basis.

In the beginning of 2001 he founded the pure remix label “CLRetry” and released mixes by producers like Marco Carola, Gaetano Parisio, Adam Beyer, Steve Rachmad, Speedy J., Chris Mc Cormack, DJ Rush, Ian J. Richardson and Ben Sims. In 2002 he started to work on his first artist album and the CLR website www.cl-rec.com went online. From then on the CLR office took care of his exclusive booking and the labels. When his album “Evolution“ was released by the middle of 2003 it received massive media attention and enthusiastic critics.

This summer many things started moving, for example on Ibiza. After playing for the first four Cocoon Ibiza residencies, this year Chris played for Carl Cox. In the following years 2004 and 2005 he co-hosted Mauro Picotto´s Meganite at Privilege, where he also hosted his first own night in 2006. In the following year Chris and his team of like-minded DJs and live-acts moved to Space, where they hosted numerous successful nights over a period of four years.

Since 2005 Chris produces in his own “state of the art” studio in Frankfurt. In the same year a productive and still persisting friendship between him and Speedy J. began, which so far resulted in the album Metalism on Novamute and various singles. After the successful season at Space / Ibiza in 2007, Chris Liebing decided to revive his passion for radio broadcasts and started hosting the weekly CLR Radio Show which aired on numerous stations world-wide until the beginning of this year.

2009 was a year of many changes for CLR. Chris and his team celebrated the 10th anniversary of CLR, restructured the label, opened an office in Berlin and celebrated many great parties. The residency at the BE nights at Space / Ibiza became a big success. In the beginning of the year, he had begun with the production of the weekly CLR Podcast, which counted around 400.000 monthly listeners. He officially renamed CLR into CREATE LEARN REALIZE (as this is what he did most of his life) and by doing so he finally got rid of his ego in the label name.

2010 CLR started off with a new distribution by Word And Sound. The first common project was the 10 Years CLR Compilation with 10 exclusive tracks by some of the finest techno producers of our time. Musically CLR opened up and became slightly more experimental, which only increased its popularity. In 2011 Chris Liebing was voted on rank n° 21 in the Resident Advisor poll and on rank n° 3 as best DJ in one of the most important German online polls. In the following year 2012 he reached the n° 1 position in the popular Partysan reader´s poll and won the award for “best DJ”, while CLR was holding position n° 2 in the label category.

For the musically more complex and song based releases, the sub-label CLRX was founded and started off with the release of the new MOTOR album “Man Made Machine” in the beginning of 2012. The album features some of Chris Liebing´s all time heroes like Martin L. Gore from Depeche Mode, Douglas McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb, as well as Gary Numan and clearly manifests the increasingly open-minded musical attitude of the established Techno imprint. From 2012 on, he focused his studio efforts on the development of highly talented label artists like for example Tommy Four Seven, Monoloc and Drumcell, helping them with the finishing touches and mix-downs of their EPs and albums.

After dedicating the majority of his studio time to the production of the CLR Podcast and the music of other artists for several years, 2015 marks the year when Chris decided to cut down those efforts and to take some time for himself again. As much as his busy tour schedule allows it, he is starting to spend more time on his own productions, and we can look forward to new music from his sonic laboratory in Frankfurt very soon.After a whole decade of constant label work, Chris Liebing and his team are drawing a balance. Over the last 10 years, he and many renowned producers have released their music on CLR, turning it into a consistent and increasingly successful Techno imprint. The jubilee of this well-established label gave reason for a complete renovation of the brand, with a renewal of the corporate identity, new logo and the new web domain: www.clr.net
The recent chapter in the labels history also gave a new meaning to the abbreviation “CLR”: “Create Learn Realize”. A decade of “creating and learning” has passed and it is time for the next step named “realization”.

They are the Crew Love revelers… highly acclaimed as being all about good-time vibes with hip-hop, pop and R&B influences, we are excited to see what their essence will bring at Alter Ego at The Great Northern.

Biography
Since the moment he spun his first record, Damian Lazarus’s mission has been a clear and urgent one: to blow away the mediocre, the over-inflated, the obsolete; to seek out and celebrate the energetic, the important, the new. Always rebelling, always going places.

“…and to have fun in the process. Playing around with different styles and ideas is what I do best,” Lazarus explains.

Driven by an almost childlike curiosity, a vivid imagination and wicked sense of humor, he’s used his role as a DJ, label owner and now musician to nurture and share the most exciting and experimental music on the planet. Drawn to the darkness, but buoyed by the light, ever ready to embrace new ideas and different perspectives on music and the dancefloor, Lazarus is always ahead of the curve, with a wry smile on his face and a neat trick up his sleeve, How many DJs do you know who’ve played ‘Reviewing The Situation (from the Oliver! soundtrack, no less) half-speed to a jubilant crowd at DC10 in Ibiza. How many DJs do you know who’ve received a sitting ovation on the dancefloor?

Ellen Allien is shaping, supporting, stimulating, forming and foremost moving to the electronic music universe. She is famous for her eclectic DJ set´s, where she combines perfectly a wide range of styles. As a born, living and working girl from Berlin, she got something, that not many colleagues of her can call their own: a dynamic, freedom loving hometown with a vibrant club and party scene, that supports and forms her passion since decades. As a DJ, musician, producer, label-manger and creative all-rounder, she inhaled all her encounters with the electronic music culture deeply and carved her very own space while creating a one-off artistic universe. After growing a global reputation as a DJ and producer of mid-nighties Acid, Minimal and Techno, she launched her label BPitch Control in 1999 in Berlin and transformed it into a hub of techno, house and other electronic sounds from beyond. Additionally, she acts out her other devotion and designs t-shirts and cloth for her label, too. During all that time, airports, planes and countless clubs been her second home and she lived the life of an international demanded DJ, that got strong followers all around the globe. Today she held DJ residencies in clubs like DC10 / Ibiza or Nitsa / Barcelona. You find her frequently on the bills of festivals like as Melt in Germany or Name in France. Furthermore, her new event series „We Are Not Alone“, her instore series “Vinylism” and BPitch Control showcases worldwide are filling up her busy day to day, night to night schedule. As she listens to music all day, she also launched the weekly radio show “Braincandy”, that gets broadcasted on Ibiza Sonica Radio every Monday from 7-8pm. Beside all these activities, there is also an inner voice in Ellen Allien’s soul, that hums throughout her entire life. It tells her stories in sound, that she constantly forms into new aural adventures, most recently on her EP’s „Landing xx“ [BPC328], „Turn Off Your Mind“ [BPC324] (2016), and „High“ [BPC315] (2015), three records that bewitch with dark, new-wave-laden techno, shaky electronics and demanding Tech-House. Also, she isn’t afraid of telling long musical story arcs, as her latest, diversified album’s “Dust” [BPC217] from 2010 and „LISm“ [BPC264] from 2013 point out. A huge artistic output, that is celebrated all over the world and has even been performed at temples of modern art such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris. In all this bustle as a fixed star in the electronic music galaxy, Ellen Allien stayed human and independent after all and shares her enthusiasm with others: her creative base and label BPitch Control, her fellow musicians and her deeply moving audience. And as an extraordinary creature and a one-of-a- kind artist, she shaped and is shaping Berlin’s vibrant electronic club landscape as well as the global electronic music culture, to which she is dancing, all day and all night long.

“Kim Ann Foxman has had quite the career,” were FACT magazine’s words when she was inducted into their critically acclaimed podcast series in 2016. Hawaii born artist and DJ, she shot to fame as a vocalist and has since continued her rise to become one of New York’s finest DJs and a prolific producer in her own right.

Unfazed by trends and deeply rooted in the music, Foxman builds on the nostalgic records of her youth to create her own dynamic sound. A rare specimen who is equally likely to be found playing to intimate audiences as to huge festival crowds, her record selection is distinctive from that of her peers. She holds a highly regarded residency at Good Room in her home of Brooklyn, New York and is a regular at Panorama Bar in Berlin, places where she is able to explore different sounds whilst still captivating the dancefloor.

As a producer, Kim Ann Foxman delivers catchy hooks and haunting melodies, and is also celebrated for beguiling and original vocals. Her Firehouse Recordings imprint (inspired by the old firehouse in Brooklyn that is her studio and a creative hub for the like-minded) is responsible for a steady stream of mind-bending releases.

An effortless trendsetter, Foxman is well-known for her inimitable style and ability to move seamlessly between the music and fashion worlds. She has built solid relationships with brands like Gucci, Dior Homme, Prada, and Adidas. Through a deep dedication to music and an infectious positive outlook, Kim Ann Foxman output is a reflection of her genuine approach, which is felt by all wherever she plays.

Kenny Glasgow is a North American electronic music pioneer, a role he’s held for over two decades.

Though the Canadian star has spent the last 5 years as the half of the acclaimed duo Art Department, functioning as a musical engineer, composer of both music and lyrics, and vocalist, he is now returning to his solo roots. Before he started touring the world, releasing influential full lengths, headlining major festivals and gracing the cover of taste making magazines with Jonny White, Kenny Glasgow already had a cult and loyal following dating back to the early nineties!

The jewel in his solo crown to date is ‘A Taste of the Low Life’, a stunning debut solo LP that was a dark and gritty fusion of electronic styles on No.19 Music, and fans will be delighted to know a follow-up is the works on the same label. Aside from this standout highlight, he also released a number of perfectly formed EPs on labels like Jinx, Roger Sanchez’s Narcotic and Family Recordings and came correct as part of Method Men and Unabomber with musical partner Mario J, racking up remixes for the likes of Strictly Rhythm and Azuli. Now he is back focusing on his solo career again and has plenty lined up for 2015.

Glasgow first became immersed in the scene as a promoter, putting on illicit warehouse parties in his native Toronto before progressing to become a resident at acid house mecca The Buzz and later the world famous Industry Nightclub. It was there that he picked up a sense of what worked dance floors, both in terms of DJing and production. Always putting these lessons to great use whether solo or with Art Department, his own emotive, tortured sounding and unique gravelly vocals have very much become his trademark.

As such his forthcoming LP and other musical projects will likely bare these hallmarks, as will the music he releases on the new label he is setting up with cohort Mr White, under the banner title of Social Experiment. It takes its name from the club nights and mix series No. 19 Music have overseen and will focus on only the most compelling club focused music. Like the entirety of Kenny Glasgow’s career, this next solo chapter is to take him to the finest clubs and festivals around the world armed with a knowing and considered bag of music that will be put together in the sort of compelling ways only an artist of his standing can.

ALTER EGO, Toby Tobias UK / Split Secs L A / Jimmy B / Rob G / Ivan Ruiz at The Great Northern

Biog

From his fledgling days of being an eleven year old breaker to smuggling in a renegade sound system to Glastonbury in the early 90s , to his own Tracky Bottoms and London Housing Trust labels, Toby has quintessentially always been about the music. Though he got his first proper break contributing a remix for the Bear Funk label in 2004, it was his 2006 release, A Close Shave, on the newly minted Rekids label that really helped launch him into wider recognition. It was the Rekids connection and a simultaneous residency in east London basement Club 54 that really helped develop his DJ craft, and DJ tours to Japan, Brazil and Berlin’s Panorama bar helped shift things in an upward direction. Since then the purveyor of anything from Balearic boogie to sub aquatic house has notched up a heavy list of releases, two full-length albums and many remixes and re edits. Not to mention many collaborative and side projects you may or may not know about, yet… watch this space. He currently holds a monthly residency in Soho, London with Phonica records (who he has a close alliance with) and every month hundreds converge on a hidden garden in the heart of Soho for something the area hasn’t seen for many years. Toby also has a new night, Rain Forest, developed with Piers Harrison of Soft Rocks, where they get to experiment with more soulful ethereal sounds, this is taking shape around London and their first visits beyond are forthcoming in July.

PAN-POT (Second State, Berlin)

A portion of proceeds will be donated to Compute For Cancer . Android people, download the App (beta) now, and help cure cancer while you sleep. Biography A ‘pan-pot’ is a simple, functional dial that governs the left and right axis of the stereo field, useful but unremarkable; mobilee’s Pan-Pot is an entirely different proposition, a duo whose mastery of audio principles allows them to turn conventions on their heads, casting functionality aside as they plumb the deep, uncharted depths of pitch-black techno. Since their inception in 2005, Pan-Pot have become a dominant presence in modern techno, an ascent mirrored in the rise of their home label mobilee records to the to p tier of electronic music. Tagging themselves as “the dark side of the force,” Pan-Pot have melted minds, warped perceptions and reinvigorated the dancefloor with their heady, unorthodox sound; within their work, subtle pitch manipulations square off with wall-of-sound distortion, the dark stomp of 4/4 is tamed by intricate sound design, and minimalistic frameworks duel with throbbing bass lines, epic builds, and murky, off-kilter melodies. Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix met at Berlin’s SAE, and their studies in the production and manipulation of sound aided them in identifying Pan-Pot’s overarching sound aesthetic. The duo booked Anja Schneider for an ill-fated party in 2005, but the unfortunate circumstances helped forge a fortuitous connection with Schneider and her then-fledgling mobilee imprint. Within weeks, mobilee’s second ever release was Pan-Pot’s official debut, „Copy and Paste“. The steady stream of original tracks and remixes that followed on mobilee and Einmaleins, charted the duo’s unwavering commitment to precise, undulating and kinetic grooves. The defining moment of Pan-Pot’s career came in 2007 with the release of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The aptly named long-player offered a 360-degree view of techno at its most twisted, balancing somber atmospherics with a lightness of touch, and spawning the overground hit “Charly”. More recently “Confronted” and “Captain My Captain” have demonstrated their classic, strong and timely production style, presenting them as the most consistent purveyors of techno around. Pan-Pot are ceaselessly working and endlessly inventive. When not in the studio writing original material or remixing tracks by a myriad of artists, they can be found on the road, touring. Their DJ sets reveal a keen understanding of the dancefloor’s needs, and they are unconstrained by boundaries, traversing techno, house and everything in between. Pan-Pot …they have rewritten notions of form and function through their own idiosyncratic language; once you’ve experienced Pan-Pot’s colossal, haunting soundscapes you will never forget them. Their vision, passion, and love of music continues to drive Pan-Pot, and the extended mobilee team, in all that they continue to do, and all that will come.

Jonny White, Son of Ray Rosenberg (former Division Manager of A&M records) and acting head of No.19 Music, along side Canadian techno, legend Kenny Glasgow, make up the infamous duo known as Art Department, a collaborative project that has seen almost unparalleled success within the world of dance music in recent years. The duo’s, reputation precedes them as international party animals but is eclipsed only by the accolades awarded to them for their groundbreaking and original style of music and remarkable performances the world over.

Art Department’s undeniable, game-changing contribution to the electronic music landscape has landed the prolific producers at the forefront of a major underground movement. The pair has
transcended genre barriers and broken down walls as few other underground artists have, garnering accolades including #1 track of the year at the Beatport Awards in 2011, iTunes #2 “Best Electronic Album” of 2011, hailed as “hottest duo in dance music” from outlets like DJ Mag, awarded the 2010 Track of the Year for their breakout hit Without You by long standing authorities like Resident Advisor (UK), Groove Mag (Germany), and #2 in Mixmag (US), and voted #6 Top DJ’s in the world in 2012. The duo have also graced the covers of DJMag Canada, Now Magazine, DJ Times, Raveline Magazine and have been featured in wide spread press, including The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Vogue, I:D, Nylon and Vibe Magazine who ranked them #2 DJ/Producers in the world in 2013, second only to Daft Punk, firmly establishing them as a rare thing in the world of electronic music.

Since the project’s inception in 2009, there has been no looking back. Art Department have since been installed as CircoLoco residents at arguably the most revered club on earth, DC10; upon request have taken their immersive live show to esteemed nightclubs like Fabric and Panorama Bar; have been invited to perform at trendsetting international festivals like DEMF (Detroit), Ultra Music Festival (Miami), EDC (Las Vegas), BPM (Mexico), Exit Festival (Serbia), Optimus Alive (Portugal), Electric Forest (Grand rapids), Parklife (UK/Oz), Creamfields (South America), Global gathering (UK), Lollapalooza (Chicago), Coachella (California) and Digital Dreams (Toronto). In 2012 They reached yet another milestone when the duo were welcome guests on the legendary BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and at the BBC’s hallowed Maida Vail studios joining company with The Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

Art Department’s sonic cannon Without You arrived sounding fully formed in 2010, a track so unique and original that it set the world of electronic music a blaze. Since then the pair have continued to hone their original and remix production skills most notably, on White’s own much-lauded imprint, No.19 Music, with the jewel in their crown, the impressive debut album The Drawing Board released on the prestigious Crosstown Rebels label.

With his roots in the Toronto after-hours circuit and a profile that has since seen him smash premiere international platforms across the globe, Nathan Barato’s carved out a reputation as not only one of the most playable producers in dance music, but amongst its most prolific DJs as well.

In other words, Nathan Barato isn’t just the guy being invited to play all the big parties, he’s the guy everyone else on the bill is spinning too. Whether it was Marco Carola first rinsing Nathan’s 2012 hit “Hard Werq” to worldwide audiences just months before asking him to join the Music On roster, or Jamie Jones deeming Nathan a new star at the Hot Creations camp while making this year’s ‘Wobble Talk’ EP a mainstay in his superstar sets… the T.O. native has skyrocketed to international prominence as a well-respected and sought after name.

Many credit Nathan’s success to his genre diversity. His eclectic sound infuses many styles and has been recognized as one where the likes of 90’s garage get sampled against the backdrop of funky techno. As a result, Nathan’s music is being released on some of the most prestigious imprints in the industry, including the aforementioned Hot Creations and spinoff Hottrax, as well as Rekids, Cajual, Saved Records, MOOD, and of course, his very own Roots And Wings label.

As Nathan Barato keeps on turning industry eyes and ears in his direction, he continues to get booked at some of the most vaunted events and clubs around the world, from festivals like BPM (Playa Del Carmen, Mexico), Ultra (Miami, USA), and We Are (London, UK), to venues that include Womb (Tokyo, Japan), Fabric (London, UK), WHP (Manchester, UK), Stereo (Montreal, Canada), Coda (Toronto, Canada), Output (New York, USA), Sound (Los Angeles, USA), Club Space (Miami, USA), Barn (Modena, Italy), DC10 (Ibiza, Spain), Amnesia (Ibiza, Spain), and more.

This upcoming summer plans to be another busy one for the in-demand selector, especially in Ibiza, where Nathan’s time on the island will be highlighted by a much anticipated residency at Jamie Jones’ powerhouse Paradise jam at DC10, 3 gigs at Space’s Do Not Sleep gathering, his return to Marco Carola’s Music On at Amnesia, and that’s just the beginning. You don’t want to miss it!

Born in Hamburg in 1975, Marco grew up listening to disco, soul, boogie, funk and 80s pop. As he grew older he went through a brief Mod phase before finding and embracing more dancefloor-inspired influences from Larry Levan to Junior Boys Own, Romanthony to Masters of Work. After starting the Mirau Musik label with friends in 2005, Marco released his first record “Around The House.” He made his commercial recording debut on the Mirau Musik label with his Restless EP in 2006, which he followed up with I Say Mista in 2007. In addition, he released EPs on the labels Players Paradise (Dust, 2007), Radius Records (Fried Egg, 2007), and Endless Flight (Keep Believin’, 2008). In 2007 he also founded the label Glossy Edits, which quickly gained a great reputation amongst music collectors. Tensnake’s first taste of critical acclaim came with the release of his “In the End (I Want You to Cry)” EP on the label Running Back in 2009. The EP was voted #1 on djhistory.com ’s end-of-the-year list, and was the driving force behind Tensnake’s breakthrough success. Launching even further onto the scene with his track ‘Coma Cat’ in 2010, Tensnake smashed dance floors worldwide and earned himself a name as a game-changing dance pioneer. Called “highly precise modern disco” by the New York Times and “infectious” by Idolator, Spin said that “Tensnake helped pave the way for the current deep- house revival.” In 2013, Tensnake was asked to deliver an Essential Mix by BBC Radio1’s Pete Tong, thus further cementing his status within the scene. Released in 2014, his debut album ‘Glow’ represented a milestone in a career which had already traversed the world’s greatest dance floors, and which earned Tensnake his towering reputation as one of house and disco’s leading producers. This debut album features an impressive range of collaborators, including the almighty Nile Rodgers, three time Grammy-winning Stuart Price (AKA Jacques Lu Cont), Jamie Lidell, MNEK, Fiora, and more. ‘Love Sublime,’ the album’s 3rd single, is a delicious slice of disco pop adorned with the unmistakable guitar groove of Nile Rodgers and the beguiling vocals of Fiora. It follows the two previously released album tracks, ‘58 BPM,’ a lush, down-tempo disco jam, and sumptuous house cut and Beatport Top-5 hit ‘See Right Through’ (both featuring Fiora.) Since Glow’s release, Tensnake has gone on to launch his latest artist label, True Romance, where he has released tracks from forward-thinking artists such as Andre Hommen, Prison Grande, Charlie Sputnik, Sunrise Highway, Magic Touch, Larse, and more. He also continues to release successful EP’s of his own work on True Romance, including 2015’s Keep On Talking / The Walk EP, and 2016’s Desire and Freundchen EP’s. Tensnake’s repertoire of remix work has also grown substantially over the years, with official remixes commissioned from him by Junior Boys, The Faint, Aloe Blacc, Azari & III, Scissor Sisters, Goldfrapp, Friendly Fires, Little Dragon, Lana Del Rey, Pet Shop Boys, London Grammar, and more.

Honey Dijon was born and raised in Chicago the home of house music, but has been living in NYC for many years. Like many involved in the scene, her love affair with music began upon hearing her parent’s soul and r&b records at home. Soon she wanted to be the one dropping the needle on the record whenever they held parties in the family basement and the lure of club life soon followed. Before long she was obsessively collecting her own music from hallowed stores like Imports Etc and Gramaphone in Chicago, all the while honing her own personal style. It was while hanging out in these stores where Honey met and formed a long lasting friendship with Derrick Carter, who became a mentor. It was he who introduced her to the underground of Chicago where she was exposed to the sounds of jacking house and Detroit techno. After relocating to New York City, Honey also met another music giant Danny Tenaglia, whose legendary sets at Twilo were also a major source of inspiration. “Danny heavily influenced my sound as a DJ’, says Honey. “The drama of his delivery and risk taking always informed me of how I wanted to present music. Of course, Derrick and Chicago house were also very influential in my development as an artist, so it’s this combination of Chicago and New York that has helped me develop my signature sound.” Still preferring vinyl as a format, there is something hugely authentic about the way Honey mixes, fusing the bump of Chicago with more classic New York sounds and other European influences. Her sets are known for their strong programming, passion and integrity. The art of the mix itself is also very important to Honey as anyone who has witnessed her play can testify about her deft mixing skills and the way she dexterously flows between house or techno with a warm, hypnotic feel. She has played at many of the best venues around the world including esteemed underground haunts like Panorama Bar/berlin, Sub Club/glasgow, The Block/tel aviv, Output/nyc, Space/ibiza and of course Smart Bar/chicago. In the studio, Honey brings her unique perspective and experience to her productions as well. Of course heritage sounds are at the rock bed of what she does, but far from churning out throwback sounds, she makes sure new ideas are at the forefront. For evidence of this look no further than her releases and remixes on Classic Records. In fact this cultural star recently mixed a retrospective compilation for the legendary Classic Music label as well being commissioned to create the soundtrack for a recent Louis Vuitton Menswear shows. With her charisma,style and broad understanding of electronic music and upcoming gigs in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Amsterdam, Germany, Spain, and Paris to name a few there seems to be no stopping Miss Dijon.

Be Svendsen aka Lasse Bruhn Svendsen produces an organic, melodic and nomadic style of groovy techno, which paints tonal stories that invoke the primal parts of your feral imagination.
After starting his solo project in 2011 releasing a series of EPs and remixes on various labels, the ripples spread via live performances, and a breakthrough into the international scene came in 2014. Touring through Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa, performing at festivals such as BOOM, Fusion, Burning Man, Symbiosis, and AfrikaBurn, the world quickly awoke to his enchanting vibrations.

While exploring a myriad of styles and musical traditions, Be’s live show-downs has developed into a melting pot of hypnotic desert-circus-shaman-cowboy-techno, incorporating elements of vocals, teased field-recordings, nostalgic samples and live instruments, mixed up with the meditative qualities of repetition.

His performance takes the audience on a deep experimental journey, providing a cinematic soundscape allowing the receivers to celebrate the light and dark parts of existence. It never fails to create an intense, shared experience that evokes big smiles and open hearts on the dance floor.

Lasse extracts the essence from soulfully simplistic and almost naive melodies, layered with Vintage-beats and an amalgamation of field recordings and organically nostalgic samples, providing a cinematic soundscape or a musical adventure, which beckons with familiar elements, whilst leading you further into unknown territory.

As Lasse sees it; “the music should ultimately connect you to a bigger picture. The goal is to express and convey a feeling, and to behold the moment, the essence of oscillating between a smile and a tear. I like to bring tragedy and humor together, and invite them up for a dance”.

The aim: to behold the moment in the outdoors, the perfect setting for a fusion of music and nature.

And with the recent release of ‘The Bar Tender’ on Lee Burridge’s revered All Day I Dream imprint with musical partner Seth Schwarz, and a mystical set at BPM Festival for the ADID crew, it appears that 2016 is going to be a landmark year for the Danish musical prodigy.

The late 80s were a pivotal moment as acid house swept through Europe, landing in Thomas’ new home of Frankfurt, and taking over with the launch of Sven Väth’s legendary Omen club in 1988. The first wave of house and techno took hold and T. was there at the forefront, absorbing all the fresh new sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK. He picked up a residency at the infamous Music Hall and held residencies at countless clubs across the city during the next 10 years from Plastik and Dorian Gray to The Box. By the end of the nineties, he was one of Frankfurt’s best-known selectors.

In 1989 DJ T. tapped into another side of his creative energy to set up Groove Magazine. Under his leadership, Groove became one of Germany’s premier dance music publications, and remains so today. With his experience gained under the Groove Magazine banner, DJ T. then went on to launch the club, Monza, in Frankfurt. He also invested his skills and knowledge into conceiving Get Physical, a label which remains one of the world’s best-known house and techno platforms. Though he left in 2010, T. still is involved in A&R for the label.

Production-wise, DJ T. has been consistent ever since his debut release, the ‘Monsterbaze’ EP with Steve Bug, released on Poker Flat in 2000. Since then, T. has released several well-received EPs, a slew of remixes and three albums, ‘Boogie Playground’ in 2005, ‘The Inner Jukebox’ in 2009 and ‘Pleasure Principle’ in 2011. His special touch has also been employed by numerous labels to curate compilation mixes, including ‘United Under The Ball, 30 Years Of Disco’ in 2011 and ‘The House That Jack Built Vol 1 & 2’ in 2012. With hot new releases on AUS Music and Moon Harbour, DJ T. continues to push his creative boundaries.

DJ T.’s reputation for being a master selector has been cemented by his superlative collection of music. A highly-skilled DJ, producer and an A&R rep with an uncanny ability to discover new talent, DJ T. is a master selector and one of the industry’s most influential figures.

What can I say? I love music and love to dance. From an early age, I was known for always being the girl who could find songs that fit perfectly together. My passion for music is evidenced by the range in genres and my willingness to explore the unusual. My sets have something for everyone that will take you on a journey from beginning to end. In the end, it will leave you wondering where it all started. Music is where it all begins for me and set the mood on a dance floor. Whether I’m spinning the tunes or on the dance floor, I like dark, rich nasty, beats. When the music moves me, you will find me on the dance floor. When the music moves you, you might just find me at the controls on the decks. Come with me on a journey through progressive music that will defy being labeled in one genre. You may be in for a surprising trip. See you on the dancefloor….

Dj Tennis:
DJ Tennis born in the 70’s and raised between New Jersey, Sicily and Parma in a family who paid just a passing attention to music. No relatives played any musical instruments, nor were there any around the home, music was never given any special amount of love in the Romano household. But despite this, and perhaps as a direct result of this, Romano’s creative and artistic attitude has always centred around music: singing, creating and collecting weird and noisy musical instruments at every turn.

In 1988 before embarking on computer science studies he was already playing and singing in college bands and had an indie rock radio show on a local radio station in Palermo.

Recording with bands, organising events and DJing at the local tennis club where he used to play semi-professionally (his DJ moniker comes from his passion for the sport) became his way to support the costs of his studies, though when he graduated he never imagined he would turn that hobby into his fully-fledged career. Whilst starting out as a DJ he began focusing on promoting new underground music in his country, founding and developing some of the most important Italian underground musical events such as the Elita festival in Milan and the Dissonanze festival in Rome, at the same time creating forward-thinking new promotional concepts around the Italian clubbing scene.

In the early 90s Romano also started producing music for theatre, movie soundtracks and TV commercials, his production skills always taking inspiration from the psychedelic, dark and melancholic sounds of the 60’s, thru to early 2000’s IDM. The range of influences paint a picture of his musical worldview: The Beach Boys, The Who, Talk Talk, Ultravox, XTC, Fugazi, June of 44, Suicide, Radiohead, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Plastikman, into every musical project he poured elements, sounds & feelings from all of these artists and many more.

In 2010, after growing tired of the the more overtly generic output of the contemporary scene he decided to collect all of his musical works and, along with Thugfucker’s Greg Oreck, started a new techno and pop label called Life and Death. The name of the label has a specific meaning, inspired by the socratic method of the maieutic process to turn ‘dead’ elements into a new life, and referring to the hypnotic power of music used in the mesmeric processes for brain therapy. Life And Death was alive.

Romano bases himself in Berlin where he also shares the label experience and a studio with the innovative deep electronic duo Tale of Us, whilst he working hard to create a crew of young and inspired musicians like Clockwork and Esperanza, amongst others. On top of all of this he still maintains his main job is still being a Promoter and a Booking agent in 2012. He may go by the name Tennis but he continues to be a hugely talented all-rounder.

Rebolledo:
Rebolledo, born and raised in Xalapa, Mexico, is resident of the legendary “Santanera”, in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. There he developed his very own style of playing, mixing old and new odd dancetracks, driven by a persistent disco groove Feeling the necessity of links between tracks he used to play in the club, he started developing his own rough and edgy rhythms. Matias Aguayo, whom he had played with several times at his night in the “Santanera” got interested in his material, helped him to develop it and to share it with people via his label “Cómeme”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx

Molly:
As resident at Paris’ legendary Rex Club, Molly has established herself as one of the city’s brightest talents, combining passion, integrity and talent to launch a successful DJ career and producing several key releases for labels such as Rekids, All Inn and Karlovak.

Molly’s long-running love affair with house and techno began in London. When she returned to France, Molly began to delve deeper into electronic music. After finishing her Masters in Communication, she picked up a permanent role at Rex Club, where she became head of the venue’s communications and PR, she has now left the post but continues to A&R for the recently launched Rex Club Music label.

Molly’s growth as a DJ has been steady and natural. Her life can often be like an endless quest to find rare records, digging for precious material whenever she has the opportunity. This inquisitive side to her nature comes through in her diverse sets, made up of special treats resulting from her penchant for digging. Molly’s sharpe taste can be approached with her monthly playlist on 22tracks whilst her ability to weave together tracks from sultry house to tougher techno has landed her gigs at clubs such as Panorama Bar(Berlin), Concrete (Paris), Space (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza) and Robert Johnson (Frankfurt). Not to mention appearances as far afield as Japan, Canada, Peru, Russia and Chile. Festival performances are also becoming a regular fixture in her tour diary with bookings at Weather Festival in her native France, Amsterdam Dance Event and Awakenings (Holland), Piknic Electronik(Canada), Amore Festival (Rome), Mission Festival (Romania) and many more. Demonstrating her ability to command the big stage as well as more intimate venues, as she did during her appearance on Boiler Room Paris.

Molly has also been responsible for several impressive releases, transferring her DJ skills to music production effortlessly. Releases with Radio Slave’s Rekids label, Karlovak, All Inn and more have all been well received throughout the industry and showcased her skills as a producer. Looking forward, Molly is keeping one foot in the studio and one in the clubs, as she maintains both strands of her growing career and makes steps towards a successful future.

Pre-sales at: Resident Advisor

GUY GERBER (Tel Aviv, R U M O R S)
Mark Slee (Manjumasi)

Guy Gerber has always favored the road less traveled. The Israeli DJ thrives on confounding expectations. What other underground DJ could collaborate with one of hip-hops biggest moguls, Puff Daddy, or start a left-field night at one of Ibiza’s most commercial clubs, Pacha? What other producer blends the worlds of melancholy and euphoria so effortlessly, or turns in a breakup album as an official mix for a revered club brand? It’s these kind of contradictions that define Gerber’s compelling duality.

Before he was fiddling with drum machines and synths, Gerber was all about groups like Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. These influences still echo clearly in his music today, whether it be his hypnotizing live performances or contemplative, moody productions. Over the course of four albums, Gerber has shown himself to be a singular artist. In 2007, he brought his debut album Late Bloomers to Sven Vath’s Cocoon, following that with 2009’s My Invisible Romance. In 2012 and 2013, he usurped the concept of a mix CD, delivering a Fabric album made up of 100% original new productions; then on Who’s Stalking Who creating an LP more akin to an extended composition than anything else. As a performer, Guy Gerber is consistently rated one of the best touring acts in dance music, earning a top 10 live performer nod three years in a row for Resident Advisor. When DJing he’s known for extended sets, epitomized by a 12-hour performance at Burning Man in 2014. Gerber’s sets are never forgettable, and he has an unerring ability to disrupt expectations, whether it be confounding Ibiza VIPs with his 2013 Wisdom of the Glove residency at Pacha –which even caught the New York Times’ attention, or 12 months later going in a totally new direction with his clandestine free Ibiza beach party, Rumors. Even at more traditional club residencies like those he holds at Marquee, Sound, and Story, Gerber acts as the subversion, transforming the normative experience into something alive with mysticism and mystique. On the label front, Gerber has helped curate and A&R some of underground music’s most intriguing talents. His label Supplement Facts hosted everyone from Chaim , to dOP , Guti and Kate Simko. In typical Gerber fashion, just as it was reaching its apex he put it on hold to launch a new imprint Rumors, a befitting title for the mischievously minded Gerber. The new project got off to a promising start, serving as home to Guy’s colossal collaboration with Dixon, “No Distance,” as well as his crossover album with Puff Daddy, 11:11, which proved one of 2014’s most startling and impressive LPs. As with Supplement Facts, Rumors reiterates Gerber’s attention to the visual aesthetic. Both labels have seen him collaborating with artists all over the globe, most recently with Miss Kittin on the critically acclaimed ‘Rumors on The Dancefloor’ EP. Rumors has also served as a home for EPs from other high-profile artists, like Seth Troxler, as well as enigmatic upcoming talents with unique styles, such as Clarian or Acid Mondays. However, RUMORS is of course more than a well-curated imprint, Gerber also launched the accompanying event series in the summer of 2014. The

RUMORS Ibiza party was a free event with a relaxed atmosphere, thanks to its setting in the Playa d’En Bossa beach hotspot Beachouse. Staying true to the original ethos of Ibiza, the RUMORS parties rejected hype by avoiding the mega-lineup announcements and posters across the rest of the island, with very little information about the parties being given away until the last minute, if at all. Despite this, 2015’s RUMORS parties saw huge artists like Sasha, Miss Kittin, Kenny Glasgow and Matthew Dear sharing the decks alongside Gerber, as well as many of the label’s upcoming artists. Following their Ibiza successes, Guy is now taking his RUMORS parties worldwide, with events at Art Basel Miami and stages at BPM Mexico and We Are FSTVL in London proving that RUMORS really do spread. However, Guy Gerber’s vision of the perfect musical event will remain the same no matter what the stage or country: “The night has a very particular flow… it has to start very deep, very spiritual, and it slowly builds up, never too fast. It’s a very natural-feeling party. The tracks played must have some substance, not too loopy, and have some kind of musical vibe in them. I’m looking for challenging deep house.”

What’s next for Guy Gerber? Like any good rumor, it’s sure to have tongues wagging.

Bedouin is a Brooklyn-based production & DJ partnership between nomads Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe who are creating their own idiosyncratic spell of melodies and rhythms. Together they share an eclectic sonic vision that pulls from diverse influences owing to their Middle Eastern heritage, Western upbringing, and world travels. Their combined musical backgrounds and ever-evolving taste captures the sensibility of imagination and constantly explores the connection between ourselves and the future.

On&On + DeepBlue feat. Martin Buttrich, Mark Slee

Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallised. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he’s entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields, at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and at worldwide Desolat Experience parties with Loco Dice.
When people say “Buttrich’s music sounds amazing”, they’re not just talking about the catchiness of his compositions or the way he manipulates beats into unique tapestries. His skills with a sonic scalpel, that esoteric ability to navigate the spectrum of audible (and inaudible) frequencies, have given him cachet among sound engineers. An incredible work ethic combined with a flexible, curious, and humorous approach have made him truly great at what he does.

Buttrich’s journey into electronic music began in clubs in Berlin and Hannover at the dawn of the ‘90s, when post-Summer of Love-Europe began to swing to its own hypnotic, machine-like groove. At 18 years old he began experimenting with production as X-Rotation (with Daniel Bross), which led to the projects Rhythm Assault, Sounds of Life and Phunk Diggaz (with engineer Andy Bolleshon). Buttrich began a notorious collaboration with his then co-worker at Peppermint Jam distribution, Timo Maas, in the mid-‘90s (they worked the telephones together). After setting up his first studio in the basement of the Peppermint Park studio building, the partnership led to over 100 co-productions and remixes that included Madonna, Muse, Fatboy Slim. Josh Wink and Green Velvet. Buttrich has produced funk legend Bootsy Collins, while switching the patterns for artists including Tom Jones, Kelis, Moloko, Depeche Mode, Placebo, Yello, War and Roger Sanchez. His Azzido Da Bass “Dooms Night” remix with Timo Maas hit the UK top ten charts. All the while he created an impressive library of beats and collected an arsenal of music production equipment for his studio in Timetools, a studio complex founded in 1997 in Hannover with a group of musicians. Buttrich is happy with the subtle crunch of an SP-12 sampler and the ‘smoky’ vibe of his analog mixing desk, adding a bass guitar or other instrument when necessary. But he’s not above having fun with a laptop either: approaching music programs as if they were video games. He doesn’t rely on any one machine or music composition technique, and his array of outboard gear is mouth-wateringly state of the art. But he never loses touch with the gritty, human side of music, and the environments that it is played in.

Another key musical partnership, with Loco Dice, begun in 2002, undoubtedly inspired Buttrich to delve deeper into the musical histories that first lured him towards after-dark melodies. In a short space of time they’d built up a deep discography creating an era-defining sound in the process. They spent more than half a year living in New York in 2006/2007, with half of Buttrich’s studio set up in a rickety hideaway in Brooklyn that looked out over Manhattan’s vistas. Between late night production sessions and snowstorms, their Desolat label came to life.
Having his debut solo album Crash Test released on Desolat in early 2010, Martin Buttrich is taking his vision to the road, fusing wild imagination with solid musical architecture, cherry-picked inspiration with true perfection of his musical craft.

Since then constantly on tour, in 2011 Martin Buttrich still has dropped a remarkable collection of music, productions like “Fire Files” EP on Desolat or remixes for Marco Carola and Lee Curtis amongst others.
Currently based in LA, Martin Buttrich is working on his second artist album and a jazz project called The Stoned Autopilot.
Stay tuned.

Oceanvs Orientalis (Live)

Showcasing the diverse musical sounds of NU , joining us from Berlin, a DJ who fuses instrumentals with an electronic style truly his own. A nomad of modern times, who has travelled the continents with his music, Nu is as diverse in his musical styles as he is well travelled.
Taking influences from his various homes, the producer and trained sound engineer branched out into various genres. Through this years-long musical journey Nu then found his true calling: instrumentals amalgamated with his electronic production all held together through solid rhythms.

Founded by Safak Oz Kutle, Oceanvs Orientalis is a collective formation which aims to challenge the aesthetic perception in electronic music. It may feature itself as a band or as a one-man action.
It blends itself with the archaelogic tunes of mankind’s cumulative musical history and in this very context believes that “everything comes from the east”.
Despite of being an electronic-based formation -due to practical reasons- at the moment, it intends to transform into a dance (to move the body and feet to music) orchestra where each instrument will be played by its own instrumentalist.

Oceanvs Orientalis, tunes are not in a hurry.

A Burning Man Camp Fundraiser for the Oontz Pouch

Chaim is a true stand out artist in today’s fast paced electronic world. After the first wave of stunning releases for labels like Supplement Facts, Cocoon and MBF, for over a year now Chaim has worked exclusively with the Berlin based BPitch Control imprint. His recent acclaimed output, like is debut album ‘Alive’ in spring 2011, has proven his powerful, individual productions to be some of the highest quality club tracks around.

Fusing solid bass heavy grooves, clearly inspired by his love for those classic jacking Chicago jams, hypnotic synth hooks, trade mark effected percussion, live instrumentation and vocal snippets, Chaim’s unique and organic sound always makes an impact. Underpinned by top-class studio knowhow, his crisp, forward thinking records are a joy to drop in front of even the biggest crowds.

From chart topping remixes like ‘Very Wrong’ and ‘Smile for Me’, to recent high-profile re-workings for the likes of Ellen Allien and Kiki, Chaim has also confirmed his name as a remixer to watch out for… Now with more exciting releases planned, like the blossoming, other-worldly trip of his ‘Thrill You’ EP, or the 8 remixes in collab with Guy Gerber, to be released on P.Diddy’s forthcoming album, Chaim is on an unstoppable mission.

On&On + Deep Blue presents ART DEPARTMENT , Rooz + Bo , Rachel Torro , Papa Lu , onefiftyfive + Mantranova

Art Department, the infamous electronic music act, has seen almost unparalleled success within the world of dance music in recent years. Canadian, Jonny White, acting Head of No.19 Music is now the lone force behind the influential project that began as a collaborative effort with long time friend Kenny Glasgow in 2009. The prolific producer’s original production style landed AD at the forefront of a major underground music movement, transcending genre barriers and breaking down walls as few other underground artists have. Their game-changing contribution to the electronic music landscape has been undeniable, garnering accolades such as #1 track of the year at the Beatport Awards in 2011, iTunes #2 “Best Ele ctronic Album” of 2011; hailed as “hottest duo in dance music” from media outlets such as DJ Mag; awarded the 2010 Track of the Year for their breakout hit “Without You” by long standing authorities like Resident Advisor (UK), Groove Mag (Germany), and #2 in Mixmag (US), and voted #6 Top DJ’s in the world in 2012. The duo have also graced the covers of DJMag Canada, Now Magazine, DJ Times, Raveline Magazine and have been featured in wide-spread press, including The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Vogue, I:D, Nylon and Vibe Magazine who ranked them #2 DJ/Producers in the world in 2013, second only to Daft Punk, firmly establishing them as a rarity in the world of electronic music. Since the project’s inception, the band has been one of the most in demand touring-acts on the circuit, performing at nearly 150 events annually on a seemingly never-ending world tour. Since first being installed as residents at DC10 in Ibiza, arguably the most revered club on earth, AD has taken their immersive and unique style of DJ’ing to esteemed nightclubs such as Fabric and Panorama Bar; have performed at trendsetting international festivals like Movement (Detroit), Ultra Music Festival (Miami/Brazil), EDC (Las Vegas), BPM Festival (Mexico), Exit Festival (Serbia), Parklife (UK/Oz), Creamfields (Buenos Aires), Global gathering (UK), Burning Man (Black Rock), Lollapalooza (Chicago), Coachella (California) and Tomorrowworld (Belgium) to name but a few. In 2012 They reached yet another milestone when the duo were welcome guests on the legendary BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and at the BBC’s hallowed Maida Vail studios joining a rich history along side the likes of The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Art Department’s debut release “Without You / Vampire Nightclub” arrived in 2010 sounding fully formed, a track so unique that it set the electronic music world a blaze placing the project firmly at the foundation of a new era in underground dance music. Since then the pair honed their original and remix production skills, most notably on White’s own No.19 Music, with their crown jewel being the impressive debut album “The Drawing Board” released on the prestigious Crosstown Rebels label. Art Department’s sophomore album, “Natural Selection” expanded upon their previous body of work, building a deeper and more experimental sound while staying true their original music style that won the hearts of their dedicated fans. Now Art Department enters the next chapter making the change in direction abundantly clear with the creation of the latest Fabric Mix compilation, the 82nd in the legendary series. Focussed more narrowly on the dance floor and a heavier, dubby house and techno sound, Jonny released the new Art Department mix in June 2015 and returned to Room 1 of the revered club for a debut and special launch party along side former partner Kenny Glasgow, Scott Grooves and No.19 co-founder Nitin. Jonny has also continued to successfully develop his beloved No.19 Music record label which to date has released works from over 100 of the most influential, electronic artists, across the globe. And as such, in it’s 6th year has become one of the most sought after, contemporary imprints in dance music today. In recent months The label has seen a string of celebrated producers showcase their talent with the likes of Guy Gerber , Mathew Jonson, Jamie Jones, Martinez Brothers, DJ Tennis, Radio Slave and Dennis Ferrer all providing remixes for AD’s “Natural Selection” LP. Art Department, continuing to push his own creative boundaries and explore new ways in which he can help to cultivate underground music culture has found his latest efforts materialize in the form of two new vinyl-only imprints. The first, being Social Experiment, the name used for the brand of highly successful No.19 Music record label showcases that have been one of the most in demand events at the aforementioned clubs and music festivals around the world. The second imprint, named Sunday Money will serve as yet another opportunity for Jonny to provide even more unknown and established artists alike with a platform to release a slightly different style of electronic music, more heavily focussed on collectors of deeper, “post minimal” house and techno.

This Autumn will also see Jonny begin his work on an issue close to his heart, Music Against Animal Cruelty, a non profit organization with one simple directive: to save african wild life. Along with long time friend and co-founder Wade Cawood, MAAC will act as a broker between musicians, music industry and music fans a like, helping to save animals facing the dangers of a diminishing population or extinction….. As an additional contribution, the Social experiment imprint will form a crucial part of fundraising efforts in it’s guise as a non profit record label with all proceeds being designated to MAAC. Now, as 2015 comes to a close, Art Department enters its next phase and continues to evolve with Jonny alone at the controls. Never one to rest on his laurels, Art Department will continue to explore new sounds and ideals, bringing his reimagining of a project loved by so many to the world stage with no end in site.

__________________________ _________________________

Originally hatched in Montreal, but currently based in London, DJ’s Anstascia and Vivie-Ann have established their love child globally by proving that they don’t fit the quintessential stereotype. Fueled by their sharp taste-maker instincts and technical flair, Blond:ish has not only charmed the industry masses but set themselves to release on some of the most notable labels around. In the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe which focuses on the art of creating music that is organic and multidimensional. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specifc category. 2012 releases include their psychedelic influenced ‘Lovers In Limbo’ EP out on Kompakt mid April inspired by Blond:ish’s curiosity of the late 60’s musical movement, as well as a determined release schedule for Noir Music , NM2, Get Physical . Blond:ish’s innovative and quirky reputation wasn’t grown on a tree but materialized in the dark trenches of Cherry nightclub in Montreal. Anyone that has attended their parties can attest that there is something very special about this underground midweek mangle. It’s the winning formula of diverse freaks, organized chaos and Blond:ish’s genre defying sets that has them still holding their monthly residency since 2008. This duo rides off each other’s hefty musical knowledge and flawless technique with their diverse personas only adding to the intrigue. Anstascia’s unruly demeanor and creative spark spirals against Vivie-Ann’s scienti!c and geek-chic flair in a whirlwind of inspiration and contrast. The result is a force to be reckoned with, a vibe that effortlessly transcends in the studio, behind the booth and more than anything, to the dancefloor.

CRAZY P Fusing slinky underground disco, deep electronic throbs, shimmering pop moments; this is dance music with a voice, a heart, and soul. With one of the best live dance music shows on the planet, Crazy P have been leaving their mark on the landscape of British dance music for the last 15 years. To trace the origins of Crazy P we have to go all the way back to 1996. This was the year that brought together James Baron and Chris Todd. It was the era of Ataris, Akais and bedroom studios and, through their love of bending and reshaping old records from many different genres, a production partnership was born in the backstreets of Nottingham. After a couple of releases under various different monikers, the work attracted the ears of deep house label Paper Recordings based in Manchester and the creature that is Crazy P was born. We won’t bore you all with and year by year history of what happened next and how we ended up with a name like Crazy P as rumour and speculation are far more interesting than the truth. Their first four albums ‘A Nice Hot Bath With’(1999), ‘The Wicked Is Music’ (2002), and ’24 Psychedelic Freakout’ (2003), and ‘A Night On Earth’ (2004), coupled with the addition of live band members Tim Davies, Matt Klose, and the vocals of the inimitable Danielle Moore saw Crazy P gain acclaim, record sales, DJ gigs, and most pertinently, live shows, across the world. Equally at home on huge outdoor festival stages in Australia or basement sweatboxes in East London, Crazy P have made their name with a unerring combination of lushly structured songs and live power, whilst never forgetting their roots on the dance floors of the late 90s’ house, disco, and soul clubs. 2008 saw Crazy P sign with 2020 Vision, a natural fit for the band with their their roots in early house and techno, and an eye to the future of both. ‘Stop Space Return’ (2008) was the superb first fruit of this new label hook up, with the album’s title track becoming something of an anthem for both DJs and as part of the band’s live show. Preceding the return to fashion for disco and boogie by about two years, ‘Stop Space Return’ showed a new breed of producers that Crazy P were right on top of their game, with the ‘new school’ of Artists like Jamie Jones, Wolf and Lamb, Reboot, and KiNK on the phone for remixes, alongside pop acts such as VV Brown, Empire of the Sun, and Sam Sparro who all wanted a little bit of discoid magic All of which brings us bang up into 2011. The start of the year saw them releasing ‘Crazy P presents MTS Vol.1’ a two track EP of ‘bangers’ influenced by their increasingly busy DJ and Soundsystem show schedule, and a nice drop of ‘P’ business whilst they finished off their new, and fifth album. Just released on 2020 Vision, the brand new album ‘When We On’ is already being hailed as one of their finest. Boom.

Described by Lee Burridge as a Genius in the studio, Matthew Dekay, a Grammy Nominated producer, is not an Artist you want to miss!

Matthew Dekay is a Dutch electronic music composer and DJ whose label All Day I Dream is responsible for pushing some of tod ay’s most romantic, melancholic and emotional house music.

Matthew was first exposed to electronic music in the early 90’s while growing up in Haarlem, the Netherlands. Listening to composers like Vangelis and Terry Riley at such a young age paved the way for Matthew to grow up and become a classically trained musician with a strong fixation for synthesizers. Today, it is these two factors coupled with his never ending hunt for new technology, that Matthew uses to ensure his music stands out among his peers.

Following Matthew’s first official release on One Star Recordings in 2001, his tracks began receiving support from the likes of Danny Howells , Sasha and Deep Dish . This lead Matthew to start his career as a DJ, and by 2003 he found himself playing at festivals such as Extrema, Dance Valley, Sensation and the Berlin Love Parade, as well as many other clubs around the Netherlands. In November 2004, Matthew mixed the world-renowned Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1.

In 2008, Matthew moved to NYC and spent a summer season in Ibiza. This was where he fell in love with underground music again thanks to Ricardo Villalobos, and by the time he met Lee Burridge later that year, he knew he had found his musical soul mate.

Matthew relocated to Berlin in 2009, which provided him with fresh musical appreciation. Soon after, Lee Burridge came over from London to work in the studio and they finally finished “Wongel”. Nick Curly, head of the German label Cecille Records, loved it, and immediately signed the track to his label. “Wongel” went on to peak at #6 in the Beatport Tech House charts, and #1 on Resident Advisor’s 50 Most Charted Tracks of November 2010. The track was also included on the Cocoon compilations “Party Animals” and “Green and Blue”.

Matthew and Lee later decided to take their collaboration to the next step, starting a label together in 2011. All Day I Dream began with a series of four daytime parties on a rooftop in Brooklyn NYC, in the summer of 2011. By October 2011, “All Day I Dream 001” was released both on vinyl and digitally. “All Day I Dream 002” followed shortly after, and featured the track “Für Die Liebe”, a song which would later go on to become one of the biggest records at 2011’s infamous Burning Man festival. “Für Die Liebe” was licensed to Joris Voorn’s disc on the Cocoon compilation “Cocoon Heroes”. It also featured on the “Kehakuma” (Space Ibiza) compilation, mixed and selected by Nick Curly.

A second label, Get Weird, which was launched in June 2012, provides Matthew and Lee with an avenue to release the quirkier, late night sounds that they enjoy. The pair also have plans to extend their All Day I Dream parties further abroad, with a European debut set to take place during the summer of 2013.

After completing a metamorphosis through many styles and sounds, Matthew believes he has finally done a full 360, and has now been brought back to where he feels the most comfortable expressing his creativity, in underground music.

Showcasing the diverse musical sounds of NU, joining us from Berlin, a DJ who fuses instrumentals with an electronic style truly his own. A nomad of modern times, who has travelled the continents with his music, Nu is as diverse in his musical styles as he is welltravelled.
Taking influences from his various homes, the producer and trained sound engineer branched out into various genres. Through this years-long musical journey Nu then found his true calling: instrumentals amalgamated with his electronic production all held together through solid rhythms.

Founded by Safak Oz Kutle, Oceanvs Orientalis is a collective formation which aims to challenge the aesthetic perception in electronic music. It may feature itself as a band or as a one-man action.
It blends itself with the archaelogic tunes of mankind’s cumulative musical history and in this very context believes that “everything comes from the east”.
Despite of being an electronic-based formation -due to practical reasons- at the moment, it intends to transform into a dance (to move the body and feet to music) orchestra where each instrument will be played by its own instrumentalist.

Oceanvs Orientalis, tunes are not in a hurry.

Dan’s journey began in 2011 with the fittingly titled debut ‘ Entrance Song ’ on Catz N Dogz ’ ‘Pets’ imprint, which was championed by the likes of Seth Troxler , Carl Cox , and Jamie Jones . Dan’s next two bass-laden bombs, ‘ The Size ’ and ‘ Tric Trac ’ were picked up by Claude Von Stroke for his flagship Dirtybird label and the rest, as they say, is history. Gobbling a path accross clubland with unstoppable force, his first twelve months saw Dan surpass a number of milestones. He won DJ Magazine’s ‘Best British DJ’, became the only DJ ever to do two BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes within the space of a year, and was charted at #13 in Resident Advisor’s Top DJs poll. Releases like ‘Jagged Edge’ and ‘Vertigo’ attained “underground dancefloor anthem” status, meaning Dan’s figure would be in the limelight for some time to come. He has also released remixes for a broad selection of labels, adding his midas touch to the likes of Jamie Jones, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Four Tet. His blinding ‘Reruff’ of Justin Martin’s ‘Ruff Stuff’ was one of the biggest tunes of 2013. 2014 saw Dan bring fresh life to a modern classic with his majestic remix of Disclosure’s ‘F For You’ and also contributing the lead track, ‘Adam’, from 20/20 Vision’s 20th Anniversary compilation, ‘Content’. Not forgetting, the transatlantic collaboration EP with Justin Martin, ‘Hello Mr. Jello’. All this is without even mentioning his skills as a DJ, which have gained him a reputation of one of the scene’s most on-point party starters. Always one to go with the moment rather than to meticulously plan out sets, one such example was an off-the-cuff set with Claude Von Stroke in Ibiza. What started off as a casual lunchtime spin to 40 people finished nine hours later to a crowd at least ten times bigger. The owner of the club then went on to say that in ten years of living on the Island, he’d never witnessed a party flow so naturally, ranking it in his top ten Ibiza moments of all time. 2015 started off in a typically hectic fashion for the hardest working man in dance music, Dan Pearce aka Eats Everything delivered a two CD compilation ‘Fries With That’ on Hypercolour, launching the mix with a very special intimate Boiler Room party from his favourite Fish and Chip shop in Bristol earlier this year. Recently, Dan has played sets at Snowbombing, Ultra Music Festival and at Coachella as part of JESuS. With work on his own Edible imprint, a relentless touring schedule trotting around the globe and his own Edible movement, Eats Everything continues to prove himself as one of the UK’s finest dance music exports.

HECTOR ( Vatos Locos , Berlin)
Mark Slee (Listed, Cityfox)

From Fabric London over to Playa Del Carmen via Ibiza back to Berlin, Hector is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young producers and DJs on the planet, effortlessly balancing his will to experiment with commitment to the founding spirit of house. Mixing up styles and moods but always focussed firmly on the dance-floor’s needs and desires, Hector’s selections nod to house music’s past but engage fully with its future; his sets have energy, precision and soul. He’s no slouch in the production department either with a string of high profile releases to his name. Most recently “Piano Hispano EP”, a release he produced with Pablo Cahn, and his own EP “Hispanic Causing Panic’ on 8bit have caused a stir among high profile DJs worldwide. As well as having an exclusive track included on the ‘5 Year Anniversary’ Mobilee compilation released in the summer of 2010, Hector is mixing the first compilation for Ibiza’s biggest new party, ‘The Zoo Project’, for which he recently became a resident. He is also developing a new alias ‘Los Vatos’, through which he wants to experiment with different genres of music from disco to hip hop and to work more with live singers. Hector hails from Guadalajara, Mexico and began DJing at the age of 16 when he heard visiting European DJs play on their rare trips to his city. Inspired by the sounds of Carl Craig, Moodyman, the Timewriter & Terry Lee Brown Jr., Hector soon came to realize that his future lay in music. He began to dj in one of the best clubs in Mexico, Bar Americas, run by Ramon Gonzales who has since become one of Hector’s biggest supporters and a big influence on helping Hector get where he is today. After a strong start in his home country, Hector headed for England, fell in love with the capital’s music scene and has remained there ever since. Spinning in Ibiza, he befriended Simon Rigg, boss of Phonica Records (the nucleus of London’s house and techno community), and started a part-time job at the Soho store upon his return to London. Hector’s knowledge and infectious passion for cutting-edge music has transformed him into one of the shop’s most recognizable faces and having been the first producer to release on its new label he has recently stopped working in the shop, to focus his worthy knowledge on the imprint. 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for Hector: working closely with Pablo Cahn, Dyed Soundorom, Alex Picone, Anthea & Celler and Massimo Di Lena, he is focusing on his production and djing.

Mark Slee
Hailing from San Francisco, Mark Slee is known to wear many creative hats. But two of his all-time favorite fashions are tha t of DJ and producer. Since co-founding House-Heads in 2008, a collective combining forward-thinking music with a quirky underground vibe, he has gone on to join the Listed Bookings roster and host the monthly mix show Heron Sound on Proton Radio. He is also one half of Manju Masi , a collaboration with long-time partner in crime Atish.

Over the course of an obsession with dance music now more than 15 years strong, Slee has evolved a style of deep house that reflects a unique personality, balancing intricate grooves, dreamy textures, and playful whimsical bounce. Blending his technical side with intuition and introspection, he takes an approach that tickles both mind and soul.

Slee’s sets have taken him far and wide, playing for audiences from Cape Town to Playa del Carmen, from Robot Heart to the Cityfox series in NYC. On the home front, his penchant for diverse and well-crafted warmup sets sees him regularly playing SF’s top clubs, opening for DJs like Danny Tenaglia, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Guy Gerber, Mathew Dekay, Vincenzo, Andre Lodemann, and Hector.

Rounding things out are his original productions and remixes, released on Cityfox , Tenampa , 5 and Dime, and Looq.

Pan-Pot Biography A ‘pan-pot’ is a simple, functional dial that governs the left and right axis of the stereo field, useful but unremarkable; mobilee’s Pan-Pot is an entirely different proposition, a duo whose mastery of audio principles allows them to turn conventions on their heads, casting functionality aside as they plumb the deep, uncharted depths of pitch-black techno. Since their inception in 2005, Pan-Pot have become a dominant presence in modern techno, an ascent mirrored in the rise of their home label mobilee records to the top tier of electronic music. Tagging themselves as “the dark side of the force,” Pan-Pot have melted minds, warped perceptions and reinvigorated the dancefloor with their heady, unorthodox sound; within their work, subtle pitch manipulations square off with wall-of-sound distortion, the dark stomp of 4/4 is tamed by intricate sound design, and minimalistic frameworks duel with throbbing bass lines, epic builds, and murky, off-kilter melodies. Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix met at Berlin’s SAE, and their studies in the production and manipulation of sound aided them in identifying Pan-Pot’s overarching sound aesthetic. The duo booked Anja Schneider for an ill-fated party in 2005, but the unfortunate circumstances helped forge a fortuitous connection with Schneider and her then-fledgling mobilee imprint. Within weeks, mobilee’s second ever release was Pan-Pot’s official debut, „Copy and Paste“. The steady stream of original tracks and remixes that followed on mobilee and Einmaleins, charted the duo’s unwavering commitment to precise, undulating and kinetic grooves. The defining moment of Pan-Pot’s career came in 2007 with the release of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The aptly named long-player offered a 360-degree view of techno at its most twisted, balancing somber atmospherics with a lightness of touch, and spawning the overground hit “Charly”. More recently “Confronted” and “Captain My Captain” have demonstrated their classic, strong and timely production style, presenting them as the most consistent purveyors of techno around. Pan-Pot are ceaselessly working and endlessly inventive. When not in the studio writing original material or remixing tracks by a myriad of artists, they can be found on the road, touring. Their DJ sets reveal a keen understanding of the dancefloor’s needs, and they are unconstrained by boundaries, traversing techno, house and everything in between. Pan-Pot may have taken their name from an unexceptional element of studio equipment, but as with their music, they have rewritten notions of form and function through their own idiosyncratic language; once you’ve experienced Pan-Pot’s colossal, haunting soundscapes you will never forget them. Their vision, passion, and love of music continues to drive Pan-Pot, and the extended mobilee team, in all that they continue to do, and all that will come. On&On feat. PAN-POT (Second State, Berlin)

Dirty melancholic house music is the produce of much musical soul searching for emerging Norwegian star Finnebassen .

Leavin g his teenage genre hopping days behind him, 2008 saw a house music epiphany, as a deep rooted interest in electronic music began, bringing Finnebassen to the sound he relays today.

Although he has been producing music and playing gigs in his hometown of Oslo for a long time, 2012 has finally seen the first attacks of Finnebassen on the worldwide electronic music scene, in both performance and production.

UK label Electronique , took hold of his own production ‘If You Only Knew’ and provided remixes by Matt Fear, The Mekanism and Balcazar & Sordo. The original was seen prior to the full EP release and reached number 3 on the Beatport Nu Disco Chart.

May 2012 saw Finnebassen release two tracks on Noir Music’s “Second Chances and Romances EP”, entitled “Touching Me” and “Such a High”. These releases have gained support from Solomun , Hot Since 82, Sasch BBC, Motorcitysoul, Atapy, Djuma Soundsystem, Alex Niggerman, Gabriel Sordo, Hunter/Game, The Mekanism, Blond:ish , Toky and MORE.

“Touching Me” reached the number one spot on Beatport’s Deep House chart, and was also played by Pete Tong, on Radio 1, in his ‘Wonderments’ section.

The Finnebassen remix of Brandy track ‘Baby’ has also been picked up, and now soon to be released by UK based bloggers and label, The House of Disco. They have also featured his track ‘Bleedin Out’ on their recently released ‘House of Dikso’ compilation.

Warner Music are soon set to release a remix from Finnebassen of Parachute Youth, Can’t Get Better than This.

The guitar you hear in many Finnebassen tracks is Finn himself playing: a note to his true understanding of music.

Respecting the work of his peers, he lists artists such Maceo Plex, Solomun, Art Department and all of the major players in house music of today as his influences.

But, it is his own version of silky smooth house by which he intends to impress. As well as regularly playing at massive Oslo night spots Jaeger and The Villa, Finnebassen also has regular gigs worldwide, with recent visits to Berlin, Greece, Brazil and many appearances around the UK just to name a few.

Oct 30, 2015 @ Monarch On&On Presents BLOND:ISH a Halloween Bonanza!

BLOND:ISH got their kickstart into the music world after they claimed the World Air Guitar Champ ionship title in Montreal in 2008. Since then it’s been a whirlwind of gigs, music releases and a neverending mission to spread love and expand consciousness through music. As members of the notorious Kompakt and Get Physical families along with a slew of other labels, Anstascia and Vivie-Ann have carved out a niche thanks to their dark, sensual club music, sultry DJ sets and outrageous, fun-loving attitude. In the beginning there was no plan, just a chance meeting at WMC in 2007 which resulted in a cosmic bond between two house music loving visionaries and the conception of one of Montreal’s midweek mangles at Cherry nightclub. Their work as promoters and DJs at the party, which was called ‘BLOND:ISH’, started a natural chain of events and it was only a matter of time before they decided it was time to transmit the hedonistic spirit of their debauched soiree to the rest of planet Earth. In 2010 they packed up and shipped out of Canada to soak up all the energy and inspiration London had to offer. The influential city provided the perfect location for their musical endeavors. Stardust manifested itself in several key moments of pure magic over the following years; from an old friend connecting them to the Kompakt family and their first release with the seminal label, to M.A.N.D.Y’s Philipp opening a spine-tingling set in the wonder of the Mexican jungle with ‘In My Head’ and welcoming them into the Get Physical crew. A slew of original productions and gigs all over the world helped to reinforce their undying love for music and demonstrated that, where words fail, BLOND:ISH’s music speaks. One of their ultimate experiences taking place at Burning Man where for the last 4 years, they could truly embrace their hippie spirit and share their ideologies with like minded people. Remixes for several high-profile artists showcased their ability to put a sly electronic BLOND:ISH spin on a myriad of styles. Electronic music legends Depeche Mode among the many recipients of their unique talents. BLOND:ISH are now poised to embark on the next step of their mission. Taking field recordings on every trip they make, and finding inspiration during a month of downtime in Mexico, the duo have their sights set firmly on keeping that magical energy flowing, sending positive vibrations deep into the outer regions of the universe.

Special Event Guy Gerber B2B Matthew Dear at Mezzanine Oct 23, 2015.

Mark Slee

Guy Gerber is a techno/progressive/house artist from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Guy Gerber has always been comfortable as an outsider. From being the rock kid at the rave, to the Israeli DJ on the European club circuit, to the electronic producer with a fetish for live instruments, he tends to skirt the edge of whatever scene he’s in. It’s a position that suits him well-so far it has led to dozens of lush, melodic records, an ever- evolving live act and his own label, Supplement Facts. This nonconformist attitude, combined with the emotional content of his art (so rare in today’s electronic music), explains how Gerber keeps his audience locked in, be it on record or on stage.

Before he was fiddling with drum machines and synths, Gerber was all about groups like Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. These influences still echo clearly in his music today, especially in his use of harmony, contemplative moods and trippy, shoegaze- inspired sounds. It’s a style that’s anything but conventional, yet one that quickly drew in some of Europe’s most popular labels; three years after his recording debut, Gerber released the first of several records on John Digweed’s Bedrock imprint. A couple of years later, Sven Väth signed him to Cocoon, eventually releasing his album Late Bloomers. All the while, he was building Supplement Facts from the ground up, showcasing his own productions alongside those by likeminded artists, and illustrating each record sleeve by hand, so each release embodied his distinct creative panache.

These days Gerber has the kind of artistic freedom he’s always wanted, and it shows. Supplement Facts is more adventurous than ever, melding organic with electronic sounds. Meanwhile, he’s embarked on his most unexpected project yet: an album with P Diddy, who hired him for some remixes and took him on more permanently after hearing the results. Now the hip-hop icon flies Gerber out to his studio in LA to work, where he gives him “2000% artistic freedom.” The experience has been transformative. ”Something opened my mind out there,” says Gerber, noting how his approach to music has changed. For one, his rock roots are seeping back in; despite being named one of RA’s top 10 acts of the year, he’s scrapping his laptop for something more “live,” playing bass guitar over drum machines, and remembering the importance of lyrics. It’s impossible to say where all of this is headed, but with a talent as bold and unorthodox as Gerber’s, it couldn’t happen any other way.

H.O.S.H. | Biography

There are solid record labels and then there are recognizable musical collectives… brotherhoods who wo rk together for the furtherment of electronic music. One such crew is based proudly in Hamburg; goes by the name of Diynamic and owes a large part of its success to German born Holger Behn aka H.O.S.H..

First and foremost, H.O.S.H. considers himself to be a DJ, someone who prises the art of mixing records and sequencing journeys, preferably long ones, over anything else. Ask any of the people who have been lost in one of his residencies at the likes of Watergate in Berlin, Studio 80 in Amsterdam or Ego in Hamburg over the last few years, and they are unlikely to disagree.

The usual biographical tales of teenage years being spent having music lessons do not apply here: H.O.S.H. got into production simply because he wanted to know how the records he was playing week in, week out were put together. Once he mastered that, there was no looking back…. Says H.O.S.H. “When it comes to producing, making music for me is like cooking, the meal / track gets better the more love you put in.”

Since 2006, H.O.S.H. has been an integral cog in the Diynamic wheel (alongside sometime flat mate and label boss Solomun and frequent collaborator Stimming) and, as a result, has helped steer house music into unchartered waters. His productions and remixes have a recognizable deftness and engaging restraint.

The prolonged dance floor exposure H.O.S.H. has had as a DJ has afforded him an insight into exactly what works on the floor; into the differing moods of a club and into the hidden recesses of a raver’s mind.

H.O.S.H. also arranges a string of free, open air festivals each month throughout summer. The Grünanlage Festivals in northern Germany are quite simply THE finest open air event you could wish to find; have H.O.S.H. booking a fine array of underground electronic talent and attract thousands of people. One of the most iconic things about this festival has come to be H.O.S.H.

“I am a DJ/producer/promoter as music is the only constant thing in my life which didn´t bore me. I get bored very fast by things” says H.O.S.H. but, whilst he may have a short attention span, you certainly won’t grow tired of listening to anything he puts his name to, any time soon.

Claptone
+TBA
Billy Bokteen b2b onefiftyfive

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone.

Years spending wandering medieval landscapes have informed Claptone’s view of the world, experiencing both magical mystery and muted melancholy he enchanted onlookers with occult instruments and beguiling sounds. F orever surrounded by a sense of intrigue, the world soon cottoned on to the elusive yet enchanting musical powers of this otherworldly beast. The results are that today his shamanistic sonic powers take him all around the world.

Deep and woozy, the Claptone sound pairs theatre with tragedy, feel good vibes with acute melancholia and imbues each groove with a Rhodes laced funk, an organic string hook and myriad earthy elements. Up to the present day, Claptone releases have been birthed on Germany’s influential Exploited label but who or whatever Claptone is, it is alive, with a life of its own, evolving and revolving in equal measure, exploring new sounds naturally and forever taking inspiration from long gone and occult worlds.
On&On + Dem Suckaz + Public Works presents CLAPTONE

Art Department is the brainchild of Canadian techno/house Legend Kenny Glasgow and Canada’s fastest rising star and No.19 label owner, Jonny White.

As individuals both Kenny and Jonny have released countless critically acclaimed records and are regarded internationally as two of the most forward thinking, revolutionary underground producers out of North America. Kenny’s credentials date back to the late 80’s and include productions on Narcotic, Jinxx, his own Method 11/11 label and Turbo. Whilst White’s revered No.19 Music label along side a blindingly fast, growing discography have seen him rapidly rise to the forefront of the international scene.

The pair, despite being close friends and stalwarts in the Toronto electronic music scene for years, had not joined forces in the studio until only as recently as 2009, when Damian Lazarus called on them to remix Riz MC for his prestigious Crosstown Rebels Label. The result was an entirely new sound that drew cues from the best of both artists. It was a futuristic and raw, synth-driven, underground masterpiece, the start of a new idea and the birth of Art Department…

Before long the two were working full time in the studio to expand upon what they had created but now with a new focus… the concept for Art Department was to create a live dj/vocal performance based on the new sound they were beginning to produce and would feature Kenny Glasgow’s unique and sublime vocals that had been heard only 10+ years earlier on records like “Pressing On”. It wasn’t long before Damian heard what the pair had been working on and immediately offered them a deal with Crosstown Rebels that would include several singles, remixes and a full length album due out at the beginning of 2011.

The momentum continued and Art Department performed their first ever live show at the Crosstown Rebels Get Lost event at the 2010 WMC in front of a jam packed room, along side an A list cast of 17 artists from the label. DJ’s, promoters and party animals regarded the performance as one of the most ground-breaking & important shows at this years WMC…Simple label boss, Will Saul was quoted saying “the live show was the best thing we’ve heard since we heard Mathew Johnson for the first time…”. The follow up performance came the very next night at Jamie Jones & Lee Foss’ Hot Natured party where Art Department treated the enthusiastic crowd to a mind-bending dj set and secured their spot as residents for the much lauded Hot Natured brand.

With massive support from the rebel crew along with an exciting release schedule including collaborations with Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Soul Clap there is no doubt that this will be yet another inspired chapter in the story of these Canadian talents.

Despite being an integral member of the Minus family since 2007, Joel Boychuk very much has his own identity. On a select number of EPs and singles over the years has the Canadian explored his own raw form of techno expressionism: sometimes dark and abstract, others more sample heavy and groove based, it is music for all recesses of both your mind, and the dancefloor. As a child it was drums and indie bands which interested Joel: formal training in percussion and music theory occupied much of his youth until the mid to late 90s, but then came electronica into his life… “Once a friend showed me Kraftwerk’s Computer World I quickly shifted my attention to electronica,” says Joel. “I could pick up radio stations from Detroit and it was from there I discovered everything from Plastikman to Jeff Mills to Juan Atkins, all the way over to drum & bass and weirder IDM from labels like Warp.” From that point on, Joel devoured as much electronic music as possible, though a little helping hand from his mother in gaining a fake ID was what really set him off. With ID in hand, he went on to spend every weekend exploring warehouse parties around Detroit, forever fomenting his own techno tastes and meeting life long friends and colleagues who now tour Europe in their own right. And so does Joel, with dates in the past at influential clubs like Watergate, Berlin (his first overseas performance, no less) Womb, Tokyo, fabric, London and Rex, Paris as well as festivals like Sonar, Love Parade and Timewarp, constantly channelling those early 90s Detroit influences from the city’s radio stations to its DJs to the famed Untitled party at The Shelter. A keen proponent of doing his own thing and going his own way, Hobo production gems to date include ‘Failsafe’ and ‘Midnight’ plucked from 2008’s From A to B as well as ‘Symptom’ off his Trackz EP. Most recently, of course, the debut full length Iron Triangle has been a critical success since release in February. The album explores stripped back synth textures, minimal grooves and comes doused in plenty of organic atmosphere, but also marks the closing of a chapter for Hobo… Having spent a lot of time crafting his album, the man now wants to focus on DJing (after being an almost exclusively live performer for 6 years) and intends to get to work writing some all out dancefloor jams. “I’m really just hoping to have a lot of fun on the road this year” he says. Should you join him at any point on that road, it’s likely you will too.

On&On feat. Hobo

He first came on to the scene in early 2011 with underground hit “Let It Ride” on Noir Music. It became an Ibiza anthem picking up support left, right and centre. He’s since gone on to release a number of club hits on Get Physical, Noir Music, Defected as well as Moda Black and has remixed Shadow Child, Pete Tong, Friendly Fires, Russ Chimes and most recently Yousef which remained at No.1 in the Beatport Deep House Chart for weeks.

He has enjoyed huge support from Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Joris Voorn, Jamie Jones, Richy Ahmed, Laurent Garnier, Pete Tong, Booka Shade, Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex and M.A.N.D.Y to name a few.

2012 saw him play some of the hottest clubs in the world, touring South America, Australia, Ibiza, and Europe and having some killer new productions and interesting new album concepts up his sleeve. In 2013 his remix of Green Velvet “Bigger Than Prince” became one of the most played records of the year.

“Drawing up his own way” is the philosophy of Guti. He shined in the world of Jazz at early age, he demonstrates to be a sensible & intense pianist, with his own language, playing in some of the biggest stadiums & winning gold records in South America in the last decade as a rock musician. In 2006, life take him to a new path: Techno music. Curious, ironic & creative, fusing electronic music with his jazz & latin roots, Guti quickly became one of the most eager & interesting producer of the Latino American house scene. He shown his amazing live set in the best clubs of the world performing as a Desolat Artist. Currently his music is also running on Supplement Facts, Crosstown Rebels and Wolf and Lamb. Artists like Carl Cox, Ricardo Villalobos, Stacey Pullen, Loco Dice, Luciano, Marco Carola, Nic Fanciulli among other international artists are playing his full of soul songs all around the planet. Finally he will release his first album on Loco Dice & Martin Buttrich´s prestigious label Desolat on March 2011

Argy, Biography

Not many globetrotting artists with hectic travel schedules have the time to be as productive in the studio as Argy, who is showing no signs of slowing down since the beginning of his career in 2005. The prolific Greek DJ is ending this year on a high note, with an impressive array of remixes for artists such as Hot Since 82 and Steve Lawler, and for labels such as Defected Recordings & his own These Days Records, as well as with an original techno stomper on Desolat Records. The main highlight of his production skills is still unveiled and will most definitely be his upcoming third album on Bpitch Control entitled ‘Dominonation’ featuring singer/songwriter Mama on all vocals expected in January 2015.

An intimate under 300 person event with Loco Dice at proper underground venue in SF. Don’t miss this rare chance to see one of the most in demand DJs on the planet up close and personal at Monarch’s intimate room where he can push the boundaries of creativity. This event will sell out!!

Loco Dice is one of the most talked about names in the underground house and techno industry, he is one of the biggest draws in Ibiza as well. In the mid 2000’s Loco Dice and Luciano were two of the resident DJs from Circoloco that made the brand and the DC 10 event in Ibiza what it is today. Then followed a long running residency at Sven Vaeth’s Cocoon party at Amnesia in Ibiza where Dice was blowing the minds of thousands of clubbers all the way through dawn on the terrace. Now he plays at all the biggest festivals and events from around the globe. He has been voted in the top 10 DJs in the world on Resident Advisors top 100 DJ poll for the last 6 years. Not to mention his record label, Desolat, which has been releasing some killer tunes. Behind the decks, Dice is all about energy with hard hitting techno and house beats. The man knows how to control the dance floor. Loco Dice rarely plays SF these days, it would be damn shame if you missed this rare chance to see him up close in the intimate setting of Monarch.

Rob Garza bio

As one half of electronic music pioneers/producers Thievery Corporation, he has been at the forefront of music and has traveled the globe performing, remixing, djing, recording and composing.

Since Garza’s recent relocation to San Francisco, he has begun a re-exploration of his love for electronic music and beats focusing on Nu-Disco, Cosmic Boogie while keeping very groove oriented and outer-national based rhythms. Recently he has been djing and remixing, taking things to an even more spaced out and trippy level.

PillowTalk bio

San Francisco three ­piece live band PillowTalk are surprising dance music treasures. Manipulating pop melodies, classic R&B, soul and boogie into the loose rhythms of house music and performing live on stages in nightclub settings across the world, they have bridged an
impossible gulf between worlds and created new expectations for electronic producers and live musicians alike.

Their success is two­fold, for not only are they stand out performers capturing the stage with Sammy D’s bold and sultry vocals, with multi-instrumentalist Ryan Williams’ dexterous guitar and keys, and with Mikey Tello’s fluid synth work (not to mention their matching classic black tie attire), they are also musical chameleons. As comfortable creating the upbeat 80s ­inspired synth­pop heard in lead single ‘Lullaby’, as they are in the psychedelic funk of ‘We All Have Rhythm’, and the classic rock and roll of ‘Devil’s Run’, PillowTalk also adeptly deliver slow electronic ballads (‘Naive’) and house driven anthems (‘If I Try’) for their eloquent debut LP, ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ on their home label Wolf + Lamb.

A soundtrack to long nights, lazy days and the hazy space between sleeping and waking, the record spans everything you want from the band: sun­splashed jams, peak ­time party tunes and low ­lit moments of intimacy.

ABOUT ACID PAULI

Born in the 1970s/seventies in Bavaria (Germany), Martin Gretschmann started to play bass guitar in a punk/indie band in the late eighties. At the same time he became interested in the evolution of electronic music and its instruments.

His first tracks were released in 1995 under the pseudonym “Console” and with the help of an Atari computer, a four-track tape machine, a sampler and a little synthesizer Martin produced his first album “Pan or ama” which was released in 1996.

Around the same time he joined “The Notwist” to bring the electronic sounds into the band. He has been a constant member of the band ever since.

After releasing several records, remixes, even radio plays (together with Andreas Ammer) and touring excessively, Martin finally decided to start another solo project:
Acid Pauli, a club oriented live Set that evolved into an advanced DJ set over the years and incorporated not only techno and house, but all different kinds of music whilst always remaining on the dance floor.

In 2004 the transcontinental group “13&God” was formed by the members of “The Notwist” and the experimental hip hop crew “Themselves” (Oakland/ California) joined the list of bands Mr. Gretschmann is part of.

And as another new project he joined a little collective who opened a music club in Munich called “Rote Sonne” which has been the playground for international renowned DJs, live acts and bands for about ten years now.

In 2011 Gretschmann moved to Berlin and of course got well connected there into the scene that includes clubs like “Bar 25″ and “Katerholzig”. Also he started a creative collaboration with “NU” and the friends of the new artistic project of “The Feathered Sun”.

At the beginning of 2014 “The Notwist” released a new album called “Close To The Glass” and started touring around the world.

Despite the fact that the artist Acid Pauli still seems in his early development, he played with his friend and colleague Damian Lazarus at the “Day Zero” Festival. Moreover, he developed a “sound performance” for an exhibition in Japan and performed on the “Robot Heart”stage at the Burning Man.

Let’s see what happens next!

ABOUT WANKELMUT
For his 24th birthday, in December of 2011, the Berlin DJ Wankelmut aka Jacob Dilßner added his sound-cloud touch to his bootleg remix of Asaf Avidan. Under the name „Reckoning Song / One day“, the title conquered the charts and, according to the Media Control Single Charts, reached 1st place, and the double platinum status in Germany. The legendary remix was placed number one of Single Charts in eight European countries. It was the most downloaded track of Beatport 2012 and an Airplay Hit all over Europe. Looking back, 1,5 million Singles were sold, and it was played 125 million times on Youtube.
Wankelmut, who had played until then in Underground Berlin Clubs, was widely booked within Europe. In particular the diversity of his entertaining music between Deep-House and Techno that Wankelmut presented as performing as a DJ, helped him to obtain a respected and recognized status within the German electronic music and the DJ industry. At the end of 2012 the famous Electronic Music Magazine GROOVE distinguished him as the “Newcomer of the year”.

HECTOR
Mark Slee
OnFiftyFive

From Fabric London over to Playa Del Carmen via Ibiza back to Berlin, Hector is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young producers and DJs on the planet, effortlessly balancing his will to experiment with commitment to the founding spirit of house. Mixing up styles and moods but always focussed firmly on the dance-floor’s needs and desires, Hector’s selections nod to house music’s past but engage fully with its future; his sets have energy, precision and soul. He’s no slouch in the production department either with a string of high profile releases to his name. Most recently “Piano Hispano EP”, a release he produced with Pablo Cahn, and his own EP “Hispanic Causing Panic’ on 8bit have caused a stir among high profile DJs worldwide. As well as having an exclusive track included on the ‘5 Year Anniversary’ Mobilee compilation released in the summer of 2010, Hector is mixing the first compilation for Ibiza’s biggest new party, ‘The Zoo Project’, for which he recently became a resident. He is also developing a new alias ‘Los Vatos’, through which he wants to experiment with different genres of music from disco to hip hop and to work more with live singers. Hector hails from Guadalajara, Mexico and began DJing at the age of 16 when he heard visiting European DJs play on their rare trips to his city. Inspired by the sounds of Carl Craig, Moodyman, the Timewriter & Terry Lee Brown Jr., Hector soon came to realize that his future lay in music. He began to dj in one of the best clubs in Mexico, Bar Americas, run by Ramon Gonzales who has since become one of Hector’s biggest supporters and a big influence on helping Hector get where he is today. After a strong start in his home country, Hector headed for England, fell in love with the capital’s music scene and has remained there ever since. Spinning in Ibiza, he befriended Simon Rigg, boss of Phonica Records (the nucleus of London’s house and techno community), and started a part-time job at the Soho store upon his return to London. Hector’s knowledge and infectious passion for cutting-edge music has transformed him into one of the shop’s most recognizable faces and having been the first producer to release on its new label he has recently stopped working in the shop, to focus his worthy knowledge on the imprint. 2010 is shaping up to be a big year for Hector: working closely with Pablo Cahn, Dyed Soundorom, Alex Picone, Anthea & Celler and Massimo Di Lena, he is focusing on his production and djing.

Famed for his marathon sets, then the marathon set at the afterparty, always bringing fans and new friends with him f rom one party to the next, never playing that last tune whilst there’s still people standing… It’s easy to see why he’s so loved.

A DJ who effortlessly joins the dots between tech house, techno, deep house and beyond, but always consistently held together with that signature hypnotic groove that he’s so well known for. Whether it’s in dust at Burning Man on the Robot Heart or in room 1 fabric playing with Craig Richards as part of Tyrant, the man never disappoints…
