their own biography
the whole biography
Contrast. Objection. Antithesis. This is how you might start an attempt to describe the world. A seemingly chaos of shapes and thoughts that don't belong to each other. An overall image to be found in life and in music. But that's not how Fiedel views things. Where others make distinctions, he sees connections, where others find emptiness, he finds rooms full of opportunities. Finding those harmonies, connections and contexts marks out his musical work. The synthesis of apparently opposing music, the interaction and the mix of styles and moods, without loosing the storyline, that makes out the characteristic Fiedel sound. Born and raised in Brandenburg, he finds access to the music through various artists and styles in the mid 1980s. He was influenced by artists of the old school hip hop like Mantronix and Egyptian Lover and the early works of Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk. A very important influence was Monika Dietl’s radio show at Radio 4U in West-Berlin. Her show aroused the fascination and the longing for musical freedom and diversity, that was not possible in former Eastern Germany. Those impressions gave him a first feeling, a first vision of what should become alive later on. After the wall came down, the way was open to access a fresh scene, and with it came a whole spectrum of new and old music to discover. In the beginning of the 1990s, he started DJing in public as a regular at the Monday events at Subversiv. Shortly after he began his collaboration with his befriended Errorsmith under the name of MMM. They released several productions and play live shows. Since 2000 he is resident at OstGut and later on at Berghain. On the compilation Fünf he had his first solo release on the incorporated Ostgut Ton label, followed by contributions to the compilations Various (2013) and Ostgut Ton | Zehn (2015). In 2012 he eventually founded his own label Fiedelone, to give his own productions a more personal base. In spring 2014 he developed a live set, which he premiered at Berghain. March 2017 saw his first full Ostgut Ton release with the 12" Substance B, followed up by his contribution to the Berghain mixes series in January 2018.Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Night Slugs, MMM, Key Records and 6 more.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Berghain · often with Berghain, Ogazón, Virginia, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Squaric is an Argentinian-born Disc-jockey, producer, and label owner based in Barcelona, who has made vinyl the core of his artistic language. Active since 2008, his sound navigates through different moods while exploring the union between rhythm, energy, euphoria, and hypnosis — a deep, minimalist form of Techno built on precision and intuition. Every performance becomes a unique and collective experience — a dialogue between accuracy of the mixtures, and the shared pulse of the dancefloor. Always hydrated!Their RA profile lists Subsist, Diffuse Reality, Krake, Tripalium Records and 1 more.Recently at ://about blank, Tresor / Globus, Marmorbar · often with Just1, Fac3less, Catem, none of them here that night
