  the whole biography

  For more than three decades, Tripwire has DJed professionally across over 200 cities worldwide, moving through basements, warehouses, afterhours rooms, and clubs that don’t market because they don’t need to. He was a long-standing regular guest at London’s Fabric for 18 years, brought back not by obligation but by necessity. He continues to mark 13 years at Flash DC and an almost confrontational 23-year residency at Vancouver’s Gorgomish Afterhours—a room where stamina replaces spectacle and the unprepared are quietly filtered out. His sound exists beyond classification. As the Canadian Ambassador of all sounds underground, Tripwire draws from minimal structures, raw pressure, and long-form hypnosis rather than genre boundaries. Every record is built with analog synthesizers and drum machines, machines chosen for their instability as much as their tone. Drift is allowed. Errors are preserved. In the booth, it’s vinyl or uncompressed WAV files on CDJs—no sync, no recordbox, no laptops- no safety rails. His extended sets are infamous exercises in patience and control, moving from the freshest unreleased material to obscure vintage bombs that feel less curated than recovered. Beyond the dancefloor, Tripwire’s presence is unavoidable. He has appeared on every major podcast in the underground, and his documented trail includes over 300 interviews, reviews, and articles, mapping a career that never slowed long enough to become mythology. Operating under aliases including Jay Tripwire, Mr_Barcode, and others, he has released an astonishing 426 vinyl records, earning 68 number-one chart positions, numbers that stop sounding impressive and start sounding diagnostic. Against all logic, the machine is still running. Averaging 15 releases a year, Tripwire recently delivered six consecutive number-one records, proving that obsession, when sustained long enough, outlives fashion. This is not a legacy act. This is sustained pressure. The underground, still breathing

  the whole biography

  Impassioned to inject intellectual material into the electronic music scene, OHM HOURANI continues to challenge his understanding of sound. Alongside his innovative studio work, the Montreal-based artist embraces the intricate relationship between technology and electronic music. His record label ANOMA is dedicated to the distribution of minimalistic, distinctive sounds kissed with a jazzy flair. Funded by the Canada Council of Arts and released in 2019, debut full-length album Jazz of the Machine travels long a didactic path carved by modular synthesizers and drum machines, navigated in the company of carefully hand-picked musicians and vocalists. Hourani's playful enthusiasm manifests itself in his live sets and DJ sets that have piqued the curiosity of progressive-minded music enthusiasts and critics alike. His compositions showcase an infusion of organic sounds and live recordings with intricate sound engineering. Collective works have been showcased live locally at his beloved MUTEK Montreal Festival, while also travelled abroad as feature performances at the Japanese edition of Montreux Jazz Festival. His DJ sets have resonated warmly with club audiences at esteemed institutions such as Berlin's Club Der Visionaere, on board floating Parisian club Concrete, or at one of New York's renowned afterparties. It's an amorous and insightfully curious approach to creating sound. You might even call it anomalistic.

  "Do what thy manhood bids thee to,?From none but self expect applause:?He noblest lives and noblest dies?Who makes and keeps his self-made laws."?[Richard Francis Burton] Revelation instead of obviousness, radical reduction versus reckless verve, ecstatic eternalness, anti-elastic dictatorship of utilization.??In the course of an existence amidst the international Techno circus manège that has been running for (in nearly correct mathematical terms) 20 years, Mario Radecki alias Sammy Dee was able to earn an irrevocable aura as an innovator of electronic music workmanship, far away from beaten mass consumption paths and neoteric-commercial validity.??As a (former) resident of Berlin based genesis time venues Tresor and Ostgut, the name Sammy Dee has already been notorious for a passionate manifestation of systematic, personality changing mixing skills back in the 90s. Defining an unparalleled audio-arty range, the vinyl fanatic likes to disperse his beliefs and visions eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth to the skilled and listening audience. Through Sammy's audiophile and distinctive presence, subtle bass-lines are consistently oscillating alongside psychotic tunes, chopped and edgy explorations float through intangibly grotesque layers - all flawlessly sailing around a mediocre moment of time with a trademark, mischievious Perlon smile. The monthly club night hosted and curated by Sammy, "...GET PERLONIZED!", at infamous Panorama Bar, is anno 2011 one of the most prestigious club events Europe-wide. It has a certain illuminating power up it's sleeve, that can not be gained by promotional exuberance or by worshipping at the alter of capital return; but with musical consistency - keywords that encompass and define everything the Berlin born artist does.??Various releases, inter alia in cooperation with Guido Schneider and Heiko Laux for Poker Flat and Kanzleramt respectively, are defining the German maestro's vita. Together with his "confederate in crime" and Perlon co-founder, Zip, Sammy created Pantytec in 1998 – eight letters that stand for an infinite flow of emotions, minimal perfection and properly arranged timelessness. Six publications followed, including one album full of all-pervading anti-labelling named Pony Slaystation.??Working together with Bruno Pronsato, the man being described in this biographical text gave birth to Half Hawaii in 2006. To date, three physical liaison results have been manifctured on Perlon, hello?repeat and Diamonds & Pearls. Sammy Dee's youngest child is named Ultrastretch. Titled after the PERLON68-B-side and not to be confused with his regular party series at Berlin based Weekend club, Sammy founded Ultrastretch at the end of 2010 with a collective of like-minded musicians and cultivated artists who were ready to walk with him on his underground community based path into a non-genre-focussed and cross-benched/forthright future. Release #1 was realized in January 2011 with Matthew Burton's 'Who Loves You/Small Winner', a Seuil and Half Hawaii EP is on it's way. "One man with a dream, at pleasure,?Shall go forth and conquer a crown;?And three with a new song's measure?Can trample an empire down."?[Arthur O’Shaughnessy] "Es reden und träumen die Menschen viel / Von besseren künftigen Tagen / Nach einem glücklichen goldenen Ziel / Sieht man sie rennen und jagen." [Friedrich von Schiller] Offenbarung statt Offensichtlichkeit, radikale Reduktion versus rücksichtslose Rasanz, ekstatische Zeitlosigkeit anti elastisches Verwertungsdiktat: Im Verlauf einer Existenz inmitten der Manege des Techno-Zirkus, welche sich über mathematisch fast korrekte 20 Jahre erstreckt, durfte sich Mario Radecki alias Sammy Dee einen unersetzlichen Nimbus als Innovator elektronischer Wertarbeit abseits von Massenkonsumation und kommerzieller Bonität erspielen. Als (Ex-)Resident der legendären Berliner Gründerzeitlokalitäten Tresor und Ostgut war der Name Sammy Dee bereits Anfang der Neunziger als passionierte Manifestation gezielt-persönlichkeitsverändernder Mixing-Skills berüchtigt. Einen musikalischen Rahmen definierend, den der Vinyl-Fanatiker zeitpunktunabhängig Auge um Auge, Ohr um Ohr an die geschulte HörerInnenschaft zu verteilen pflegt: Subtile Bässe schwingen während seiner audiophilen Präsenz entlang psychotischer Tunes, Zerhackt-Diffiziles schwebt unter Ungreifbar-Groteskem hindurch, den plausiblen und mittelmäßigen Moment mit schelmischem Perlon-Lächeln gekonnt umschifft. Der von Sammy von Anbeginn kuratierte, monatliche Clubabend "...GET PERLONIZED!" in der Panorama Bar zählt anno 2011 zu den angesehensten Veranstaltungs-Schienen Europas, jene Leuchtkraft in petto, nicht prämiert mittels promotionellem Überschwang und Gottesdienst an der Distinktionsrendite, sondern erkämpft dank musikalischer Konsequenz - ein Stichwort, welches das gesamte Tun des in Berlin Geborenen konkretisierbar macht. Diverse Releases, unter anderem gemeinsam mit Guido Schneider und Heiko Laux auf Poker Flat beziehungsweise Kanzleramt, zeichnen die Vita des deutschen Maestros. Mit seinem Komplizen am Dienst des Mystischen und Perlon-Co-Gründer Zip kreiierte Sammy 1998 Pantytec - acht Buchstaben eines unendlich fließenden Stroms an Emotionen, minimaler Perfektion und exakt arrangierter Zeitlosigkeit. Sechs Veröffentlichungen auf Perlon folgten, inklusive eines Albums voller gelebter Anti-Etikettierung namens Pony Slaystation. Mit Bruno Pronsato kooperierend, gebar der in diesem Text im Mittelpunkt Stehende im Jahre 2006 Half Hawaii, drei physische Ergebnisse der Liaison, publiziert auf Perlon, hello?repeat und Diamonds & Pearls, erblickten bis dato die Musik-Welt. Sammy Dees jüngstes Kind trägt den Namen Ultrastretch. Benannt nach der PERLON68-B-Seite - und nicht zu verwechseln mit seiner regulären Veranstaltungsreihe im Berliner Weekend - gründete Sammy Ende 2010 Ultrastretch als Kollektiv gleichgesinnter und kultivierter Künstler, welches genreschubladenunabhängig ein Stück des Underground-Pfades gemeinsam zu gehen bereit ist. Veröffentlichung #1 wurde im Januar 2011 mit Matthew Burtons Who Loves You/Small Winner realisiert, eine Half Hawaii-EP befindet sich in der Release-Pipeline.
