Nora En Pure is the Deep House & Indie Dance music sensation that is rippling through the sonic sphere with her beautiful blend of electronic beats. A core member of the Helvetic Nerds group, Nora leads listeners out of the darker realms of Deep House with intricate instrumentals and enlightening melodies. Every track she gets her hands on turns to gold and every performance she gives leaves the audience in awe. Moving far away from her home at an early age to Zürich, Switzerland, Daniela found herself longing to touch base with her South African roots. Growing up listening to classical music and playing the flute and piano, she began creating her own electronic beats. 2009 saw the beginnings of her musical career, releasing her debut tracks via the Enormous Tunes and Tonkenish imprints. Her breakthrough track ‘Come With Me’ catapulted her into the spotlight in 2013. Sparking wide interest in her sound, the track received extensive support from industry tastemakers and captivated a large and ever-growing legion of fans. Collaborating with the likes of Wretch 32, Aston Shuffle, Adrian Lux and Klingande, Nora En Pure infiltrated herself into the depths of the dance music world. Gracing the decks of some of the most revered dance music spots on the planet, Nora has played sets at Ultra Music Festival Miami, Mysteryland USA, Webster Hall NYC and Privilege Ibiza, to name a few. Her remarkable release schedule introduced an array of fan favorites, including her ‘Saltwater (2015 Rework)’, her Hype Machine #1 edit of Australian production trio RÜFÜS’ ‘You Were Right’ and her bouncy rendition of Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank’s ‘Shades Of Grey’. Her two-track ‘Morning Dew’ EP featured the hauntingly beautiful title track, which was selected as Pete Tong’s first Essential New Tune of the year in his BBC Radio 1 show. Meeting many career milestones over the past two years, 2016 saw Daniela deliver her breathtaking BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, tour relentlessly to bring her scintillating sound to as many countries as humanly possible and complete her first Ibiza residency at the world’s largest club, Privilege Ibiza. In 2017 she delivered a long list of sensational releases, including her diverse 4-track ‘Conquer Yosemite’ EP, funk-driven cuts ‘Waves’ and ‘Fever’, and touching creations ‘Tears In Your Eyes’ and ‘Trailblazer’. Making her debut at Coachella and being the only female artist to play Tomorrowland’s Mainstage Daybreak Session, she closed the year on an all-time high. With her Purified brand going from strength to strength in 2018, Nora landed her own weekly radio show on SiriusXM Chill and hosted her first Purified events in Miami, San Francisco, New York and Zürich. Touring the world over, Daniela won crowds over at the likes of Ultra Music Festival’s 20th Anniversary event, both weekends of Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Panorama Festival NYC and many more iconic stages. Drawing fans in with stunning releases including Sphinx, the eclectic Don’t Look Back EP and the majestic Polynesia EP, Daniela garnered over 1.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. With her Polynesia EP entering the Billboard Dance/Electronic Album Sales chart at #14, Nora En Pure has closed the year with a bang. Daniela continues to dominate in 2019, receiving two nominations in the IDMA Awards for Best Female Artist (House) and Best Podcast/Radio Show for Purified. Being announced as one Wynn Las Vegas Resident DJs and making her highly anticipated return to ULTRA Music Festival & Coachella, Nora continues to prove her indomitable work ethic and demonstrates why she has been crowned the Queen of Deep House. With two Purified events already scheduled in Miami for Miami Music Week and New York and her first release of the year ‘We Found Love’ working its magic all over the globe, 2019 is sizing up to be Nora En Pure’s biggest year-to-date.

CRi quickly made his mark on the Montreal electronic scene by offering a singular sound influenced by house synths, syncopated snares, and futuristic basslines. A self-taught college dropout, CRi caught the attention of tastemakers through his first two EPs; 'Tell Her' and 'Someone Else' released on TOKiMONSTA’s label, Young Art. Christophe Dubé’s real breakthrough happened in 2018 with a Juno nomination for the EP 'Someone Else' which was swiftly followed with the release of his mini EP 'Me and My Friends' as well as his collaboration with Charlotte Cardin, 'Fous n’importe où', which revisits Daniel Bélanger's timeless classic.

Rezident
Karlsruhe, Germany · 2 bookings since Aug 2024

With house, electro, techno, or dance music as a whole, there’s a specific sweet spot where a tune can just as easily be rinsed on a hazy dancefloor as it can be received like a looping spiritual mantra, bridging a most unique gap between celebration and therapy. Rezident, the project of emerging 25-year-old producer David Roif of Karlsruhe, the city in Germany’s southern Baden-Württemberg state, demonstrates that electronic music best sustains itself when these separate entities interlock. Citing a consistent flow of Deadmau5 which influenced him growing up, and taking notes from progressive canons like Bicep, Rezident’s 2023 is warming up—fast. Like his counterparts growing up in the technologically-accessible 2010’s, Rezident downloaded various music programs on his Windows PC laptop at the age of 12, eager to concoct his own melodies after hearing a ringtone his sister’s friend composed on her Nokia cellphone. There, he gathered essential production techniques, like layering, streamlining, and learning when to walk away from a track for a while. Today, at points in his intimate but expanding discography, reverberating chords informed by deep house accents whirl in and out, only to have sharp hi-hats and intermittent whooshes sober the ethereality. Such instances mark Rezident’s desire for a more minimal and honest approach to track-producing, one which contrasts from his earlier school of beatmaking, self-described as "commercial", trusting the project and himself.

their own biography
the whole biography
Author, composer, performer and conductor of his own orchestra, Worakls is a modern artist. Although trained in classical music, he quickly gained recognition through his fusion of classical music and electronic tones thanks to which he meets his first successes as an artist, but also as the founder of the labels Hungry Music and Sonate Records. Worakls brings a unique and modern sound signature to his music by mixing in his influences (mainly classical, rock and electro). Powerful orchestrations, stirring melodies and dreamy sounds are distinctive features of Worakls’ music. On stage, he conducts his own orchestra, the “Worakls Orchestra” with which he plays his music in the biggest venues in Europe. In 2026, after several successful tours, Worakls returns with the Orchestra and will finally unveil his long-awaited new album ‘From One Blink To Another’, set to be released in October 2025 on Polydor. A true creative milestone, this opus celebrates 15 years of musical career, featuring prestigious guests and plenty of surprises for fans who have been eagerly waiting since the release of ‘Orchestra’ in 2019. A European tour of unprecedented scale accompanies this album, designed to elevate the album thanks to a powerful and an XXL set design. Worakls is also committed to fighting climate change. He co-organises the charity festival “Oceanfest” with the journalist and ecologist Hugo Clément, for whom he also composed original soundtracks for his documentaries. He as well collaborated with Camille Etienne against the EACOP action against Total’s pipeline in Uganda. Moreover, reducing the carbon footprint of his tour and solely collaborating with ecoresponsible brands for his merchandising are among matters he is very concerned about.
