    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Tom Harris AKA Hidden Spheres first made his mark on the underground circuit with his release ‘The Bloos’ on legendary Motor City label Moods & Grooves. He is however most well-known for his continually repressed and in demand EP ‘Waiting’, the debut release, which graced the top of many end of year lists. Within the same year Hidden Spheres made his debut on Bradley Zero’s Rhythm Section with the EP ‘Well Well’ and reached top 10 spots in dance charts around the globe and 2017 saw Hidden Spheres also make waves with his release ‘It Ain’t Easy’. He then began his monthly show ‘Fruit Merchant’ on NTS. The show has now evolved into his new record label and musical outlet where he has multiple outputs released. More recently, Harris has put out solid EPs on Church, Scissor and Thread, Oath and a track on CC:DISCO!’s second First Light compilation. As a DJ, Hidden Spheres draws from all his musical knowledge, always aspiring for togetherness and inclusiveness on the dance floor. With more music to be released at the start of 2023, Hidden Spheres is still on the rise with more to come!

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    I started out in a bar called Drama in Kreuzberg, which has been an important hang out for the scene and one of the first bars ever to feature its own djs at the weekend. The Drama has been one of the few locations featuring house music, instead of techno dominating all the other clubs and bars at that time. I used to play a lot of soulful vocal house and quickly became a resident at Globus/Tresor, as well as at the gay Saturdays at Café Moskau. „My motivation is and has been a mixture of fun and communication. Verbally as well as non-verbally. I love to create and play with different moods and atmospheres. I’m still fascinated by the fact that music can release a huge amount of energy and how music creates fun, jollying anyone along without any reason or principle. Music and bass in particular can make people happy!“ Since 1997, when I have been a resident at Globus/Tresor, I gradually opened up stylistically and didn’t feel the need anymore to go along the lines of the techno and house division. Since 2001 I regularly played at the gay/lesbian „Dance with the Aliens“ parties at the old OstGut and consequently at the end of 2004 I became a resident at the new Panorama Bar / Berghain. In the meantime I developed a varied style ranging from new and classic House to Techno including a lot of Disco, Afrobeats..... It is fundamental to my work as a DJ that I manage to let the music, the crowd and myself run freely. I have to turn off my head and go with the flow. This always is the challenge and if it works it is big fun. The crowd and i have to get kind of cosy with each other. And if I manage to build my set up and down, to go to lots of different places, it is perfect!

  • Danny Daze

    Miami · 25 bookings since Sep 2023

    “Steeped in Miami’s B-boy culture, it was classic electro & Miami bass that conceived Danny Daze's love for the experimental Dutch electro & Detroit Techno scenes of the 90’s.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Steeped in Miami’s B-boy culture, it was classic electro & Miami bass that conceived Danny Daze's love for the experimental Dutch electro & Detroit Techno scenes of the 90’s. Labels like Schematic in Miami, Interdimensional Transmissions from Detroit & Viewlexx out of The Hague set the foundation for Daze. Daniel Gomez adopted his Daze moniker early on at his mother’s suggestion. Practicing on a set-up she bought him, Daze was spinning at weddings by age 14, funneling his earnings into vinyl to play raves on the side. That eventually led to producing his first tracks in 2004 on a cracked version of Fruity Loops and later that year, he jumpstarted a electro / techno white label called Omniamm. Daze’s risk-taking & punk approach is at the core of everything he does and it’s a big part of the ethos of his current label, Omnidisc. "We're not searching for chart topping hits. We’re more interested in curating a catalog of music you’ll remember when you walk out the door. We seek out tracks that are as raw as possible & welcome imperfections. We love the charm of an unpolished record”, says Daze. It’s also this freeform & experimental approach together with an element of surprise that sets him apart from the pack as both a DJ & Producer. As a DJ, he prefers to express his versatility across long sets. He is known to cut & weave from Electro to Techno into Italo Disco, into a record by Yazoo deliberately intended to provoke a reaction. “I once played a Paula Abdul record at Berghain… basically, it’s like it or leave it,” says Daze. As a producer, his output ranges from releases on Kompakt’s Speicher series, to remixes on Phantasy, Comeme, Monkeytown & more… but he also reaches far beyond techno & has created original runway soundtracks for award winning American streetwear designer John Elliott & the Australian brand Song for the Mute. "I’m obsessed with the detailed manipulation of audio. It’s at the core of how I make music & I constantly feel the need to involve myself with projects that challenge & allow me to think out of the box... whether it’s creating a single recognizable noise for the new MacBook, or an advert for a fashion campaign blending original music with sound design,” says Daze. Danny Daze’s radical approach to preserving music’s integrity while breaking its boundaries may seem volatile, but it’s not random. “I’ve always gone against the grain & it’s important for everything I do to feel authentic. There isn't much difference between Daniel Gomez and Danny Daze.” BOOKINGS: For EU bookings please contact: ned@lb-agency.net & chris@lb-agency.net For US and SA bookings please contact: ryan@liasonartists.com For Australia bookings please contact: Wade@FinelyTuned.com.au For press and management enquiries please contact: mgmt@omnidisc.co

  • Peach

    Toronto, Canada · 7 bookings since Aug 2023

    “Peach is a Canadian born, UK based DJ & Producer.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Peach is a Canadian born, UK based DJ & Producer. Her sets have become beloved worldwide for the emotional range and bubbly energy that radiates directly from her person & her musical choices. Her style is classic, yet steeped in modern flair, she inhabits a continuum of sound that can be defined by the uplifting energy that is felt through her sets. She cannot be defined by genre because her music touches on many - all of which sit between the house and techno spectrum. Tech house, proto house, bleep, tribal, and ambient techno often come to mind, yet it is still a specific kind of energy she creates which cannot be interpreted by genre alone. Her debut EP “Galaxy Girl” on Shanti Celeste & Gramrcy’s Peach Discs was a distinct and intentional expression of her dancefloor-ready technicolour tech house. In 2022, she launched her own label Psychic Readings - an output she uses for exploring her own sound with each release. The music is a modern take on the various themes throughout dance music history, yet it remains unique in its sound - the result is familiar inspirations but a refreshing outlook. Peach finds herself most at home in the dark rooms of smaller scale clubs - such as Berghain’s Panorama Bar in Germany, De School in Amsterdam, Fold in London, or Nowadays in New York - but she is no stranger to the larger stages across the world. She has played at major festivals worldwide such as Glastonbury, Sonar, Primavera, Dekmantel, Melt Festival, Dimensions, Rainbow Disco Club, Pitch Festival and many more. Her monthly NTS Radio show has been running for over 6 years, where she explores an array of music not necessarily focused on genre, but always with a thread of sonic continuity between it all. ​ A truly honest musical voice and lover of the feedback loop between dancer & DJ, Peach’s output always feels confidently transmitted from her soul. Her inextinguishable lust for life is inspired by the genuine connections between moments, people & music - bestowing a loving gift of dynamism, passion & adventure into the universe wherever she may go.
    Their RA profile lists Peach Discs, Intergraded and Psychic Readings.

    Approaching a dj mix as assemblages, Ron Like Hell aligns sound with emotion, focusing on texture to create psychedelic soundscapes, imaginative spaces for comfort and surprise spectators with an unexpected crafty transition.

  • Ge-ology

    New York City · 31 bookings since Aug 2023

    “In today's fast-paced culture of opportunism and ambition, you seldom meet an individual with remarkable abilities and a storied history of achievements concurrently anchored in humility.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    In today's fast-paced culture of opportunism and ambition, you seldom meet an individual with remarkable abilities and a storied history of achievements concurrently anchored in humility. Thus, the virtuoso known as GE-OLOGY is a rare find indeed. During the 80's, the young Baltimore native eventually relocated to New York City, where his multi-dimensional talent was destined to ripen with opportunities that continue to ensue globally. This masterful music producer, exceptionally skilled DJ, and equally gifted visual artist has been acclaimed for over two decades, however he remains somewhat of a mystery. Over the course of his career, he's worked with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, De La Soul, Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon), Jem and even a young Tupac Shakur. After years of producing dominantly hip-hop tempo releases, he defiantly returned in 2015 with the dance floor monster "Moon Circuitry" featuring Mark de Clive-Lowe (his debut single on Theo Parrish's esteemed Sound Signature imprint). It was received in high regard as perhaps one of the top releases of the year in the underground dance music scene (instituting anticipation for his full-length LP scheduled to be released later this year). Although his roots in composing 4-on-the-floor dance tempo music dates as far back as his earliest hip-hop beats, this seemingly "new" direction boldly challenged expectations based on his previous body of work. Yet to the contrary, his very first production appearance came in the form of a collaboration with the Baltimore-based house music legends, The Basement Boys, who used one of his tracks for their 'Those Guys' moniker in 1993. Collecting records from the age of 5, playing instruments from age 9, and DJing since the age of 11...his relationship with music has been a lifelong journey of unyielding education & exploration. There's something very personal, intimate and risky in his approach to playing records that you don't often experience in today's DJ sets. Traveling across continents with selects from his carefully curated vinyl collection, he digs deep, weaving diverse genres that seamlessly coalesce to bring dance floors to life. ■
