    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Her heart beats to the nostalgic sounds of the 90s rave and Hardcore/Gabber scene. For the Berlin-based Russian/Ukrainian synesthetic artist born in Southern Germany, music has always been an essential part of her inner world — guiding emotions, evoking sensations, and awakening memories. Her goal is to make you feel what she feels. With a background as a professional dancer and dance instructor in various styles, she cannot imagine expressing herself without the language of music. Her curiosity for rhythms from different cultures and her hunger for discovering new sounds started at an early age. She serves a handpicked menu of mouthwatering delicacies from different decades of music history — seasoned with global influences, a spicy pinch of every genre you’ve ever tasted, and finished with freshly chopped Hardtekk kicks. Her menu is a high-speed culinary journey through freshly baked Hardtrance wrapped in warm Neorave, spiced with Acid and Goa-infused Hardtechno, resting on a bed of Psytrance and topped with a tender Eurodance crème. Without leaving you time to digest, she keeps serving the next course. Her performances are joyful, sensual, and emotional — bursting with infectious energy. Her juicy sets will keep you craving the dancefloor and leave you hungry for more. Dinner is served, bitch!

    the whole biography
    Biography There are not many electronic activists who has been on the scene for 15 years and still set trends. Asem Shama is one of them. Since the beginning of the 90’s he can be considered as one of the pioneers of electronic music in Germany. Having his roots in Hip Hop, being a renowned rapper. In the 80’s, he made his first experimental steps into producing electronic beats at his friend’s studio. There he found his new musical home and a place where he could develop his creativity in unlimited spheres. Next to his approaches as a techno producer he was the inventor of the legendary Ravesyndrome events. In this time he also build up his own studio and launched his first label “Syndrome Audio” with his longtime companion – Axel Bartsch on which he released 15 vinyls until 1994. In the following years he established himself as one of the key players in techno music, releasing vinyl on labels like Bush, Planet of Drums, Frisbee Tracks, Utils and Spiel-Zeug, making him an underground legend in the German techno scene. His breakthrough came with the track “Flash”, that was recognized by the remains of the band “Queens” themselves and afterwards was promoted as an official remix. He hit Top 20 charts across Europe, marking 15th position in the UK and 17th in Germany. With this major recognition he still continued to concentrate on the underground and was not giving up his upfront emphatic style of producing and mixing. His reputation as a DJ grew constantly, making him play all over the world and getting world wide reputation. In 2005 he co-founded the label Sportclub focussed on a rather minimalistic style of techno. After moving to Berlin and getting new inspiration from the electronica capitol of the world he is heading towards new horizons. In 2009 he joined the Berlin based label Highgrade and made himself a fixed factor of the berlin club scene by raising enthusiasm with his sets in the trendsetting clubs like Berghain, Watergate and nearly any other club worth mentioning. In 2013 Asem releases his 1st Artist Album „MNDCTRL“ which marks a new meridian in his production skills and musical variety. One year laster he even comes up with his second Album “Chaos Theory” on London based Label “Minimal Force”. Recently, Asem dramatically increased his output frequency culminating in his first release on Oliver Koletzki`s Label “Stil Vor Talent”.

    “With over 100 releases and remixes on acclaimed labels such as MoBlack, Dessous, Poker Flat, Crosstown Rebels, Stil vor Talent, Systematic, Bunny Tiger, Katermukke, Bar 25 Music, and Ritter Butzke, his prolific output cements his status as a house music innovator.”

    the whole biography
    With over 100 releases and remixes on acclaimed labels such as MoBlack, Dessous, Poker Flat, Crosstown Rebels, Stil vor Talent, Systematic, Bunny Tiger, Katermukke, Bar 25 Music, and Ritter Butzke, his prolific output cements his status as a house music innovator. Phonique's career catapulted to fame in 2004 with the iconic club anthems “The Red Dress” and “For the Time Being”. However, it was his timeless hit “Feel What You Want” from his 2010 album – amassing over 50 million views on YouTube – that solidified his global reputation. His four critically acclaimed albums showcase his evolving sound, diverse influences, and profound intuition for igniting dance floors worldwide. In July 2022, Phonique launched his label Zatar Music, debuting with a Korolova remix of “Feel What You Want.” The label highlights his melodic and Afro-Arabic house inspirations, drawing from his travels to countries like Jordan, Ukraine, and Armenia. With releases from artists such as Fairplay, Roo, Nilu, and Gui Boratto, Zatar Music embodies Phonique’s adventurous sonic vision. Remixes by Hyenah, Korolova, Gorje Hewek, and others have earned Zatar tracks spots in Black Coffee’s Spotify playlist and Adriatique’s iconic Cercle set. 2022 also marked Phonique’s residency at Berlin’s renowned club Ritter Butzke, following his debut release on their label. Playing alongside international stars like Korolova and Franky Wah, Phonique continues to inspire with his electrifying performances. As “Identification”, his debut album, approached its 20th anniversary, Phonique is planning a special release featuring acoustic reinterpretations and fresh remixes of classics like “For the Time Being feat. Erlend Oye” and “Café Monte Carlo feat. Dixon”. This milestone reaffirms his ability to revisit and reinvent his own legacy. An unexpected highlight in 2024 was the resurgence of “Feel What You Want” in its slowed version, trending on Shazam charts in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, and peaking at #15 on the global Shazam charts. This momentum inspired an upcoming “All Mixes” release on Zatar Music, featuring remixes from Korolova, Vintage Culture, Bruno Be, Tom Novy, Aka Aka, and a highly anticipated new version by Ukrainian duo Artbat. From his trailblazing productions to his residencies and label endeavors, Phonique remains a driving force in house music, pushing boundaries while staying true to the genre’s essence.

    the whole biography
    Born near Cologne, Germany in the early 80's, Dompe developed a taste for beats very early on and just as quickly the pots, pans and wooden spoons were abducted from the kitchen so he could practice drumming with them. It really did not take long before a drum set was under the Christmas tree. Inspired by Nirvana and Metallica, he drove the neighborhood crazy with his practicing! Then in 1996, Dompe made a new discovery: Vinyl. His amazment at how such a small needle brought such huge, dancefloor rocking beats to life was indescribable! The drums were quickly traded in for turntables and a mixer. And after the first few visits to the Warehouse, (a club in Cologne, Germany), Dompe had nothing but 4 to floor beats in his ears. He survived countless hours of mixing records in his living room until he got his first gigs. He, at the same time, worked on his sound and refined his skills as a producer and sound designer. 2008 was the year when everything changed: Dompe started throwing his own parties at ElektroKüche (Cologne, Germany) and soon after became a resident at the club. These days he can be found behind the decks at Legendary clubs and parties such as: Area at Tresor (Berlin), Douala or Nature One. His tracks also started catching the ears of such respected and talent djs and producer like: Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna or Someone Else. He has released tight tracks and remixes on: Pentagonik, RheinTime, Impulse Music and Italo Business. "Beat Back", Dompe's new album, drops mid 2011. He makes it clear on this release,"Whatever that may come, will come. Just rave on.

    the whole biography
    Having been exposed to electronic music primarily as a raver in Nairobi's growing electronic music scene around 2010, his love for the pulsing 4x4 beats, his keen ear and appreciation for underground music cuts and his growing musical collection soon lead to him making a switch from clubber to DJ. Stepping behind the decks at numerous parties and venues across the city, he soon became known for his unrelenting groovy selections, sourced through his passion to dig and uncover deep, quirky, and more experimental tracks. Quickly becoming a mainstay in the local electronic music scene, he held residencies at clubs such as the now defunct Insomnia Nightclub, The Loft and Budhaa Bar in Nairobi. 2014 saw the formation of the Temple Nairobi collective, a group of like minded individuals including Raj that began to promote regular parties in Nairobi, focusing on showcasing a distinct underground house/techno sound. Temple quickly became known as Kenya's foremost underground electronic music event series, and Raj built a notorious reputation there for his hypnotic, often extended, closing sessions. Now based in Malmö since 2016, Raj continues to make and play music that blends elements from house, dub, disco and techno, applying his experience as a selector and appreciator of electronic music into crafting sounds that reflect his different influences and background - all the while focusing on a distinct deep underground selection.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Jesper Aubin is the Swedish chef who quit cooking at restaurants & became a musician and producer. But he never stopped surprising his friends with extraordinary meals. When he creates music he uses his cooking experience. It has to be a balance between sweet and sour, salt and bitter. He needs to find the harmony that can affect all senses simultaneously. - Music and food is a perfect match for me. When I work as a chef I am always looking for new flavours and combinations, with music it’s the same thing. I am always listening for new sounds and marriages between the frequencies to find something new. And when the flavours are in balance according to my intensions it’s time for service! Jesper has had several successful events in Sweden during the last couple of years. He is now part of House Music With Love, one of the biggest house/techno blogs in Scandinavia.
