From the vibrant shores of Portugal to the pulsating heart of Berlin, Jepe, born João Silva, has carved out a unique and captivating presence in the global electronic music scene. Known for his sleek DJ sets and cutting-edge productions, Jepe is a name that resonates with both industry veterans and new generations of electronic music enthusiasts. Jepe's musical journey began in Aveiro, a coastal town near Porto, where he was drawn to the rhythmic energy of the ocean. His passion for music ignited early, leading him to his first radio show at just 16, and by 19, he was already commanding the decks at one of the biggest clubs in his hometown. His early rise to prominence foreshadowed the impactful career that was to come. As one half of the celebrated duo Johnwaynes, Jepe made waves with releases on prestigious labels like Mulemusiq, Compost Records, Get Physical, and Cecille. The duo's innovative approach left an indelible mark on the scene, but in 2013, Jepe embarked on a solo path, a decision that has since catapulted him to new heights. Now, with an impressive solo discography spanning top labels such as Diynamic, Sum Over Histories, Moodmusic, Multinotes, Isolate, and Engraved Ltd, Jepe is a dynamic force in the electronic world. His sophisticated sound—marked by deep grooves, atmospheric layers, and a mastery of both analog warmth and digital precision—has earned him spots on major electronic playlists and secured his place as a staple in the underground club circuit. As the founder of the rising label Eastern Standard, Jepe is not only a pioneering artist but also a visionary curator, pushing forward the boundaries of electronic music. His relentless creativity extends beyond the decks; as a skilled mix engineer at Berlin’s renowned Blackhead Studios, Jepe shapes sound with technical prowess, ensuring that his—and others'—music reaches listeners with unparalleled clarity and depth. Jepe’s trajectory shows no signs of slowing down. His dedication to evolving the electronic music landscape, both as a producer and label head, positions him as one of the most promising and influential figures in today’s scene. His story is one of passion, persistence, and an unshakable drive to bring his sonic vision to audiences worldwide.Their RA profile lists Moodmusic, Diynamic Music, Mule Musiq, ICONYC and 4 more.Recently at Kater, Klunkerkranich, Golden Gate · often with ACID BOGEN, Amine K, Stella Stellar, none of them here on Thursday

the whole biography
Born in Wolfsburg, Germany in 1975, Koljah started out learning drums and classical percussion instruments at the local music-school, and from there went onto play in various jazz, rock and metal projects as well as in classical percussion ensembles and in the orchestra. However it wasn’t until his first experience of a techno party that he found his true calling in music. Having been blown away by the atmosphere and energy of the monotonic beats, he decided that dance music was his way. After learning to mix he started putting on parties in his hometown, until he finally moved to Berlin in 2003 and got himself a studio that things really started to happen. From his first release, 'I.L.M.B.I.B./My Room' on Phil e Records in 2005, there has always been a touch of class about his production work that has won him praise from Dj’s around the globe. His next release saw him get signed to Sushitech, which resulted in the 'LeckerKuchen' EP, and more recently the 'Loops For Work' EP, not to mention his remixes of Mikael Stavöstrand’s 'Housedays', Fusiphorm’s 'Green Chocolate' on Minimood or Oliver Deutschmann’s ‘I Won’t Tell You Why’ on Konsequenz. In 2007 his friends Stephan Hill and Oliver Deutschmann launched ‘Vidab-records’ with the ‘Fett Cash EP’ produced by Stephan Hill & Koljah who lately got signed the track ‘Nonresponder’ to Ame’s Label ‘Innervisions’. In early 2008 he released the ‘Coffee Papa EP’ on Vidab and is now working on a new EP and his first Album on Sushitech planned to be out in early 2009. In the beginning focussed on reduced rhythmical Techno tracks he’s now heading to a more “classical” sound somewhere between House Music Techno. Every time with a clear attention to rhythm but on the same way looking to create emotions cause dancing is not about working - it’s about feelingTheir RA profile lists Sweat Lodge, Minimood, Vidab Records, Konsequenz and 6 more.Last at Golden Gate in Aug · often with Edgar Peng, Jased, Danielle Nicole, none of them here on Thursday
