    the whole biography
    With a career spanning almost 30 years, there’s no doubt Marc Hype is a sureshot partyrocker who represents a more ecclectic view on Hip Hop & Funk from the very beginning. He started his DJ career, inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay, around 1988 and went through the several decades of hip hop with countless releases, tours and competitions like the German ITF championships, which he won twice in 98 & 99. During this time he collaborated and recorded with artists like the Juice Crew legend Masta Ace, Souls Of Mischief, Edo G., Zion I, Beat Junkies, DJ Z-Trip, Patrick Pulsinger, Killa Kela, Akrobatik & Mr. Lift o name a few. His solo-debut album “1973 * Recon“ became “Album of the month“ in Europe’s biggest Hip Hop Magazine JUICE in 2003. In the year 2004 he met world class pianist Jim Dunloop in Berlin and quickly they began to collaborate on shows and production. His proven skills on the decks combined with the undisputed talent of Dunloop's key wizadry followed their first vinyl releases in 2005 on the infamous Milk Crate label, "The Antique Anthem", "Bombay Raw" & "Finale 74", which were very successful in the worldwide dj-circuit, followed by a cover version of Babe Ruth's "The Mexican" in 2006, which was dubbed by UK's Jazzman Gerald as "the" version to have. In 2009 the album "Stamp out reality" was released on MPM Rec. which featured artists like the legendary Blowfly, Mr Complex, Flomega and Lady Daisey. On the remix tip they build a strong reputation with works for artists like All Good Funk Alliance, Deela, Kid Gusto, Tippa Irie or Danny Massure. Besides that he hosted several highly acclaimed event series like Rap History Berlin or the SoulClap! Tours in Germany & Asia. Nowadays he’s travelling the world with his 45s bag as part of the Berlin/London/Hamburg based Dusty Donuts crew & label, as well as a member of the UK based international 45 Live DJ circle. Still spreading the original values of Hip Hop Culture and Crate Digging. If you track his past tour schedule you can be sure of his proved ability to rock internationally with stops allover europe as in USA, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Lebanon, Tunisia, United Arabian Emirates, Russia, Israel, India & Australia.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    FEMDELIC This Berlin DJ has built a solid reputation for coming to wreck your body. Shaped by the energy of Berlin, where she grew up, Marisa aka Femdelic is a DJ with a deep love for boogie funk and disco. She started spinning vinyl in 2005 but fully dedicated herself to music after stepping away from dancing. With a Congolese father and German mother, music was always present in her life, and her african heritage played a key role in shaping her musical ear. A former breakdancer with a background in popping and b-boy culture, movement was her first language—until music took over completely. Her journey has taken her to many European countries, California, Kazakhstan, and South Africa. bringing her groove-infused sets to dancers and music lovers alike. Alongside her music career, Femdelic has always been engaged in social work, a commitment that runs parallel to her artistic path. Over the years, Femdelic has shared the stage with artists like Maurice Fulton, Nightmares on Wax, Shy One, Mendel, DJ Amir, DJ Koco aka Shimokita, Kyoto Jazz, and many more. Her selections have not only earned her a place among respected crate diggers but also led her to open for legends such as Cymande, George Clinton, L’Impératrice or Fatoumata Diawara. Whether warming up for icons or locking in a dance floor deep into the night, she brings the same dedication to groove, always crafting a journey through sound. With an ear tuned to the raw energy of funk and electro boogie, Femdelic curates selections that bridge the past and the future, always staying true to the rhythms that shaped her. Since last year, she has been hosting a monthly radio show on Refuge Worldwide, where she further explores other genres and invites guests to share their musical perspectives.
