Escape From The City by Danny Varley

British born and and London based DJ, Danny, developed an unexpected love affair with world sounds and rhythms spanning from more eastern locations. Since early 2015, organic and melodic house and techno have captivated him and filled his sets and mixes to almost echo the equally developing scene. After more than fifteen years dipping in and out of musical mobility and playing in various capacities, Danny found his direction and followed the percussive, elemental and multi cultural movements to find his natural stride in crafting sets that are deep, driving and emotive.

Dark Room Bright Lights by Wild Dark

Stemming from a partnership with over two decades of DJ experience behind them, Wild Dark takes on contemporary song-writing and gives it a unique, thoughtful approach using a wide spectrum of electronic music to tell a story. The duo, comprised of the NYC based brothers Corey & Ryan Negrin, stray from cold digital samples in favor of a warm, organic approach to writing music. This allows them to merge house, techno, and natural vocal work into a cohesive concept that uses soulful yet charming songwriting to nurture a sophisticated palate.

Before perfecting their impressive music production skills, the brothers had a long history of DJing at the finest clubs in their hometown NYC and beyond, setting them up for an explosive career with releases on Supernature / Flying Circus / trueColors / Do Not Sit On The Furniture Recordings / Akbal Music / Nazca Records / The Gardens of Babylon Records / Anjunadeep / Suruba X / Happy Camper Records / L'enfant Terrible Records / Where The Heart Is - NY / Eyedyllic Music, along with with performances at notable events such as The Robot Heart Bus at Burning Man, Bedouin’s Saga in Ibiza, SXM Festival in Saint Martin, The Monastery Festival in Goch, Germany and the notorious City of Gods Halloween bacchanal in Brooklyn, NY.

This combination of a deep understanding of what it takes to move a dancefloor and the ability to produce unique, emotional, thoughtful and dancefloor-oriented music have given Wild Dark the perfect storm to fulfill their destiny as one of the premier emerging electronic acts in the world.

From darkness, beauty rises.

Rise by The Foreigners

A musical duo from Bulgaria, Faris and Sandro form a symbiosis between their Eastern roots, a family legacy of art, a background in technology and a passion for self-expression through music. Slow, but steadily the two have been making their moves in the electronic music world. They first caught the public eye by winning the remix competition of the famous track Emperor by Ali Love, which was released on Damian Lazarus’ esteemed Crosstown Rebels imprint. Subsequently, they’ve delivered more quality production on labels such as Audio Tonic, Tulipa Recordings, Submarine Vibes, Tenampa Recordings, Motek Music and most recently to Kindisch Music. Be sure there’s more projects in the pipeline. It is in the Catalan capital where the boys drew their inspiration and together with a couple of friends they established their personal project – Ritual Gatherings. A series of curated events, born in a small circle of friends, together in their passion for exploring the different shades of electronic music in an inclusive, family-like atmosphere. Not inclining towards the underground, neither the surface of the musical spectrum, but rather standing for the creation of an unadulterated vibration and a deeper musical experience. Ritual Gatherings aims to connect people, music, arts and different points of view into a collaborative experience and a celebration of life and nature. After several successful events in Barcelona and Bulgaria, and shows in Tulum, Mexico, the project has expanded to new horizons.

Bridge Of Spirit (Vinyl Only) by Thomas Stieler

Is there anything better for a good party than a passionate, authentic and open-minded DJ with long-standing production skills? Not really. Thomas Stieler combines these three virtues par excellence – a perfect match for any house music lover. House is his sound, his world, his permanent stimulus and has been so for the past 15 years. Having grown up in the district town Saalfeld in East-German Thuringia, he was already collecting records before he even owned a record player – surely a sign for true vinyl and music love. From 2005 on he got his first gigs and quickly became a household name for his ambitious and subtly grooving DJ sets.

But Thomas wanted to dive even deeper into his favourite music and leave his own traces. That's why he started producing his own tracks which were very well received. So he was even more motivated to continue on his own path. Not fussed about short-lived hypes and instead inspired by both old and new records, Thomas Stieler has since found his signature sound: house in all its facets – classic, deep, minimal, full of drive and sometimes even close to techno.As a DJ he enthuses the crowd with his fine intuition for tracks that fit the mood and are mixed into each other both elegantly and electrily – the typical Stieler transitions. And these transitions can be enjoyed live on a regular basis, amongst others in some of the best international clubs.

Even if Thomas has moved to Munich by now, he remains loyal to his East German roots – not only as resident DJ of the legendary Leipzig club Distillery, but also as a permanent member of the Parcou crew surrounding Mathias Kaden. His friendship with Mathias also resulted in his good connection to Muna, one of the longest-standing clubs in Germany and to Freude am Tanzen, the renowned house label from Jena which released one of Thomas' first EPs. „Balcony Sessions“ became his introduction for numerous further well- liked releases on record labels like Lauter Unfug Musik, Rotary Cocktail Recordings, Biotop and Blind Vision Records. And it won't stop there. Because so much is for sure: the passionate and open-minded journeys of Thomas Stieler will continue.

IMP by Sinca

"Offering a transcending experience through a raw blend of stimulating and hypnotic additives” is Sinca’s prescription gig after gig, regardless of the venue or when in her sets. Her eclectic upbringing, from the French capital of Canada to a Peruvian household, from her dancing career in classical ballet to rhythmic flamenco, has opened a space for music to be her guidance and one and only anchor. This mixed spectrum of music influences translates into sets where she infuses together deep bass and layers of hopeful riffs that not only fill the space but also caters to her obsession of taking you on a journey. A recognized member of her original community in Montreal, Sinca’s experience range from performing on the main stage of Piknic Electronik and residency at the Salon Daomé to testing unusual scenes at artistic collectives where she is accompanied by other artists in live performances. Recently, her unavoidable draw to the international has come full circle when she performed abroad in France, New York, the Dominican Republic and Prague. To continue to ride this sound wave, Sinca puts a large emphasis on producing, with several projects in the work already.

Light In The Dark by Birkenlauber

It was a memorable night, way back then in the 90ies, cult label Strictly Rhythm put on a big show at the Docks (Reeperbahn Hamburg) and inspired Mumbai (India) born birkenlauber to start his deejaying career. Driven by his idols, such as Armand van Helden, David Morales, Frankie Knuckles and more, he developed a huge love for house music. Nevertheless deejaying stayed a hobby as his career as a copy writer was the focus.

Since 2012 he’s back to more deejaying again. Also his sound has advanced and moved on – these days birkenlauber’s sets are a skillful mix of pounding deep house, melodic tech house and straight techno, ranging from 118 to 130 bpm. Making remixes for numerous other artists he also made himself a name as a talented producer. Under the name of MOB MOB on British lable Kingdom Kome Cuts his first EP was distributed in 2014. Further releases followed on Audio Safari and Clubland Records, for example. His release „Raw Like Uschi EP“ (Kingdom Kome Cuts) climbed to # 49 on the Beatport album charts of the indie / nu-disco genre.
