their own biography
the whole biography
Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary, an electronic music icon, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig’s broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. The prolific producer has cultivated a unique path as an artist, entrepreneur and civic leader, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking. “My livelihood is making music that I can perform, whether I’m doing orchestral production or modular strangeness or generating club music. I don’t restrict myself,” said Craig. “I defined myself by being who I am. The ultimate self respect is when you say you’re going to do something and you go and do it to the best of your ability.” Craig released his first track in 1989 on a Virgin UK compilation album, with two singles following on labels run by his first collaborator Derrick May. After a series of ambitious releases for his co-owned Retroactive imprint, in 1991 Craig launched his second record label Planet E with the groundbreaking EP “4 Jazz Funk Classics”, under his alias 69. Planet-E turned 20 in 2011 and Craig celebrated the label’s history by taking Planet-E and its artists and collaborators on a world tour for the first time ever. He also previewed the 69 Live show for the first time, at select festivals around the world, fusing masks, darkness and the music of 69, Craig created 69’s own entity. As well as this, Planet-E invited friends of the label – like Luciano, Kirk Del Giorgio, Loco Dice and more - to pick their favourite Planet-E track to remix and re-release. Reflecting a year that was packed with events and releases, Craig readily admits that when he started the label he was hoping “it would last forever.” He cites artistic freedom as the highlight of running the label and adds, “It was never a struggle for the label to be an outlet for my or other people's music. It was always a struggle to stay in business, actually a war to stay in business.” Looking back now to Craig's early releases from 1989-1992, one can see how much the wild variety found in his early music set the groundwork for his diverse career. He's fortunate to serve as an inspiration and influence to countless artists in the underground electronic music scene as well as crossover acts like Underworld, Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem. His 1992 Innerzone Orchestra cut “Bug in the Bassbin” was credited as the spark that inspired the evolution of drum‘n’bass. In typical Craig fashion, “Bug...” continued to develop, morphing into a live jazz composition in 1996. In turn, those experiments laid the ground for Craig to incorporate Jazz elements onto his 1999 I.O. album “Programmed.” Then in the 00's Craig explored jazz further still as producer on the albums “The Detroit Experiment” and “Rebirth” (2009) for legendary Detroit Jazz collective Tribe. This is but one example of Craig's continually evolving exploration of sound. Craig’s prolific nature is reflected in the many recording projects he has used throughout his career including 69, BFC, C2, Innerzone Orchestra, No Boundaries, Psyche, Paperclip People and Tres Demented. This rotating cast of aliases has enabled him to continually explore new directions through a long succession of full length albums, mix CDs and singles including “Throw” (1994), “Landcruising” (1995), “The Secret Tapes of Dr Eich” (1996), “More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art” (1997), “Programmed” (1999), “The Detroit Experiment” (2002), “The Workout” (2002), “Just Another Day” (2004), “Fabric 25” (2005), “The Album Formerly Known As” (2005), “Paris Live” (2007), “Sessions” (2008), “Recomposed” (with Moritz Von Oswald) (2008), “The Legendary Adventures of a Filter King” (2009) and “Modular Pursuits” (2010). Craig’s interest in collaboration continually grows. As "Versus", one of his boldest endeavors to date, Craig combines techno and classical music, opening himself up to working in a new format by collaborating with orchestrator / pianist Francesco Tristano, French orchestra Les Siècles, conductor Francois Xavier Roth and Moritz Von Oswald. Inspired by well-received performances in large concerts halls in Paris, Milan and Germany, Craig started the process of developing the project into an album. He also performs as Trio alongside Von Oswald and Tristano. His occasional appearances with the electronic collective jam band Narod Niki, alongside Villalobos, Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Zip and others, have led to him appearing in part live / part DJ gigs with Luciano. Additionally he’s taken to occasionally bringing keyboardists like Mike Banks (UR), Amp Fiddler and Tristano into the DJ booth with him for special one-off gigs. These mixed performances add some variety in a non-stop DJ schedule that finds him spinning at top clubs worldwide. Craig acknowledges, “Touring has always been the most important aspect of the music industry for artists. There will always be that desire for human interaction.”. Lets also mention that he has recently performed live soundtracks to films, first in Amsterdam then in New York, where he improvised live to an Andy Warhol film at Unsound Festival. The fact is, unpredictability is the only predictable thing about Craig and his music. Outside of his Planet E recordings, Craig also continues to be one of the most sought-after remixers in the world. Craig has produced a seemingly never-ending list of remixes that now extends over 100 cuts, including mixes for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip, Friendly Fires, Caribou, Theo Parrish, Gavin Russom & Delia Gonzalez, Tori Amos, Can, Goldfrapp, Unkle, Yello and others. He was nominated for a Grammy in 2008 for his mix of the Junior Boys “Like a Child.” “It’s been proven that the remix is a valid art form,” Craig said. “When I take on a project, the ultimate goal is that it becomes my record. In many cases I’m actually recomposing the track and the time that I spend reflects how personal it becomes.” Fortunately there is no shortage of artists looking for that Carl Craig touch, so rest assured you'll hear Craig reconfiguring many of your favorite artists for years to come. In the same way that he likes to make tracks he's remixing his own, Craig’s commitment to his home in Detroit is also something very personal. After launching a festival to rival that of any in Europe with the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000, Craig has shifted his focus to even more ambitious goals with the creation of his non-profit 501-C3 Carl Craig Foundation. “The concept is to find ways to re- educate kids about what’s interesting musically that you can’t get on the radio” says Craig. Partnering with other non-profits to set up music scholarships, in 2010 the Carl Craig Foundation presented a five-day workshop during the Movement Festival at the Detroit School of the Arts, which exposed the students to professionals in sound engineering, music festival production, record/music production and musical performance. Craig sees the primary goal of the foundation as a way “to develop a new music scene that follows the legacy of Detroit music being diverse and interesting, to spot out the most talented young musicians coming out of high school and lend small financial grants to encourage music education at a higher level.” This commitment to Detroit music also extends to how his Planet E family of labels is run. Not only has it given a home to a wide range of Detroit-based artists including Francesco Mora Catlett, Naomi Daniel, Flexitone, Jason Hogans, Kenny Larkin, Monty Luke, Ezana Harris, Moodyman, Mike Agent X, Oliverwho Factory, Recloose, Reference, Kevin Saunderson, Big Tone, Tribe, Urban Tribe, and Chaz Vincent, it has also been serving as a distributor for Detroit imprints including Derrick May's Transmat and Stacey Pullen's Black Flag. “The reality of the business is that you have to change. That’s a very difficult process, especially as an independent. I made a conscious decision a few years ago to invest in what I do. It’s turning it around and putting it into the studio and the label for my music to develop. We’re fighters around here. We fight to find new ways of selling. We do manufacture vinyl and there are people who want it. We’re fighting to keep it alive. Fighting for music that we have a vision for,” Craig say about Detroit. “My commitment to the city is like a commitment to your family. I’ve been here all my life and I’ve seen great things happen elsewhere, why not be involved in making my home great?” When Craig explains his philosophy, his wry sense of humor seeps into his explanations of far-reaching concepts that merge worlds together. “I have a very special career. When I feel that I’m tired of going on the road I can go in the studio. When I’m tired of concentrating on the studio I can go on the road. I can work with concert pianists, jazz musicians or rock guys. Very few people have that range of interests. Very few people juggle a career that they choose specifically.” No one else can pull it all together quite like Carl Craig.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Clone Records, Ibadan Records, Planet E and 6 more.often with Moodymann, Chaim, Lauren Ritter, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Kasra V is a London-based DJ and producer born in Tehran, whose deep passion for music has propelled him to success in both club and radio settings. Growing up in Iran, he had limited access to Western music, relying on state-funded radio stations and bootleg downloads. After moving to London at the age of 17, Kasra's hunger for new sounds grew exponentially. Securing a residency at NTS Radio in 2014, Kasra honed his skills and showcased his eclectic taste in music. He has since broadcasted over 200 shows and hosted acclaimed artists such as Yello, Tangerine Dream, and Dream 2 Science. His DJ sets have graced legendary venues like Fabric, Panorama Bar, and Circoloco, as well as intimate community-building dance floors such as London’s sweaty queer party Adonis, Homodrop, Lion and Lamb, Fitzroy, and more. As a producer, Kasra's releases are a fusion of diverse influences, ranging from ambient soundscapes and orchestral swells to touches of electro and elements of 90s rave, all completed with a nod to the history of dance music.This eclectic blend defines Kasra’s unique signature style. Since 2021, he has focused more intently on his productions, resulting in acclaimed releases on labels such as Radiant Records and Sepehr’s Shaytoon Records. Additionally, Kasra launched the Iranian folklore-inspired project Flower Storm with Sepehr, further showcasing his prowess as a highly skilled producer. In Spring 2024, Kasra launched his own imprint, V-sion. He not only curates the musical output, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between past, future, and the ever-changing fulcrum of the sonic present, but also oversees the label aesthetics to showcase up-and-coming visual artists and their work. The first release on V-sion celebrated Kasra’s 10 years as an NTS resident and featured original tracks from Kasra V & Marie Malarie, Fantastic Man, Sepehr, Alex Kassian, Spray, Angel D’lite, Byron Yeates & Brandi, Kim Ann Foxman, and 500SEC. The story of V-sion will continue this November with solo work from Kasra himself, along with killer sleeve design and a line of merch. Named breakout DJ in 2023 by Mixmag, Kasra continues to make waves in the dance music scene, solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented artist.Their RA profile lists Make Love In Public Spaces, Radiant Love and Shaytoon Records.often with Yazzus, Love Letters, Miss Parker, none of them here that night

Xiaolin's elusive, dreamlike sonic world treads the delicate balance between light and dark, tension and release. Inspired by sounds from the mid 80’s-early 00’s, and driven by her love for film, anime, nature and French impressionism, Xiaolin’s atmospheric, analog synth-heavy productions range from gritty acid and hypnotic tech house with earthy percussion to tripped-out electro, shimmering techno and dubby downtempo ambience that invoke feelings of romantic adventure. Despite her ever-evolving nature, Xiaolin’s ethereal-yet-grounded sound remains a signature throughout all productions, combining soft imagination with raw power. Xiaolin is sensitive to the dance floor and curates a dynamic journey unbound by genre, digging deep in order to discover unlikely connections. Her house-to-techno DJ sets, sprinkled with progressive and organic sounds, 303 and breaks, draw energy from the four elements, while her original live set has three formats: “Sun” for sunrise settings, “Moon” for meditative settings and “Body” for nightclub settings. Releases include two EP’s on 宀 Records, a collaborative track on Klasse Wrecks, VA contributions on 20/20 Vision (Exit Planet Earth - “Helium”), Polychrome Audio (“Diffraction EP”) and Harmony Rec (upcoming), as well as three 80’s Cantonese disco tribute EP’s on Sound Metaphors’ “Bless You” imprint (A&R by Jane Fitz). Her live set recordings for QEONE’s SoundSculptors series and Rainbow Disco Club have garnered critical acclaim. Past highlights include Wonderfruit Festival, Boiler Room, Transmissions at FOLD, Nuits Sonores, Essaim Paris, Blitz Club and Panorama Bar. She made her Rainbow Disco Club live set debut with Kuniyuki Takahashi in April 2025, with standout appearances at Monument, Draaimolen and CODA by Ratherlost and Pax-Romana for ADE. Xiaolin previously hosted a bimonthly show on Baihui Radio China and has done guest mixes on The Mudd Show, The Lot Radio, NTS, Noods, Test Pressing, EYA, Trommel and Balamii amongst others.Their RA profile lists 20/20 Vision, Sound Metaphors, Klasse Wrecks, Harmony Rec. and 5 more.often with Berghain, Rødhåd, Barbara Preisinger, none of them here that night

“DJ TEETH has been living inside music for as long as he can remember.”
their own biography
the whole biography
DJ TEETH has been living inside music for as long as he can remember. Growing up in Buenos Aires, it was his mother and grandmother who first put him in front of a record player, and he never really left. Fifteen years of DJing, an ever-growing collection of records and a restless curiosity about what connects them, that's where his sets come from. He's played everywhere from Panorama Bar, Lab Dance and Tresor to Fold, The White Hotel, Macadam, HORS-SOL, Bunker and Cocktail d'Amore, among others, with shows across Europe, the US and beyond. Festival appearances include Folsom, Lighthouse Croatia, Transmissions from Hackney and WUS Bulgaria, among others. His 2020 Boiler Room, played live from his Berlin apartment during lockdown, reached well past the usual crowd. Making music felt inevitable. His debut solo EP Marcha 95 came out on V-Sion earlier this year, followed by Romancer on KMA60's Prozpektiva at the end of June. He also runs Tremendo Recordings, a label dedicated to reissuing records that got lost and deserve another moment. As co-founder of Hypersoft, a Berlin queer crew known for eclectic, digger-led lineups and a refusal to stay in one genre, he has helped build one of the more distinctive voices in the city's club landscape. 2026 marks a milestone: Hypersoft lands a residency at Panorama Bar. He plays entirely in the moment. Digging for records is still about chasing that feeling from the first time he walked into a club in 1995, and every set is his way of taking the room there with him.often with Carl H, David Fogarty, Samara, none of them here that night
