their own biography
the whole biography
Whilst some follow trends, others set them. Award-winning music producer and live performer Rodriquez Jr. also known as Olivier Mateu has spent 20 years in the industry, with his vast experience of all genres of electronic music making him the visionary of melodic house and techno he is today. Initially, Mateu made his name under the mentorship of the legendary Laurent Garnier, releasing music on the revered F-Communications label as one half of French electro act The Youngsters. Following this he gradually honed his style into the dynamic, colourful sound of beauty that can now be regularly found on Mobilee, Anjunadeep and demanded for on remixes of Stephan Bodzin, Booka Shade, Eli & Fur, Steve Bug, Timo Maas and more. Drawing inspiration for his live performances from the vintage synthesizers, keyboards and dusty analog gear of his studio in Paris, Rodriguez Jr. relishes the opportunity to travel the globe and realise his project on stage. In doing so he has amassed a devoted and loyal fan base through the creation of his unique movement. Some of the most recent acclaimed shows featured huge festival performances at Sziget (Hungary), Lightning in A Bottle and CRSSD (both California), Paraiso and Sonar Festival (both Spain). Continuing to blur the boundaries between electronic and organic like few others can, his extensive touring schedule sees Mateu at world-renowned clubs every week, taking him to the likes of Solumun’s party at Destino Ibiza, Fabric London and Space Miami. Not stopping there, Rodriguez Jr. has formed a special musical partnership with former Nouvelle Vague vocalist Liset Alea. The pair met 15 years ago creating music for Laurent Garnier ́s label, and through their ongoing live RJLA project, they tell sonic stories, fusing organic charms of live instrumentation with cutting-edge music for the dancefloor and presenting this at selected events. This culminated in an extraordinary audio/visual display for broadcast pioneers Cercle, with a unique performance at the carefully selected idyllic location of Falaises d’Etretat, showcasing their captivating live electronics. On the production front, Mateu has continued to have an exceptional output, with his last release on Mobilee Radian entering the Beatport top ten within three days following release. Another highlight was his full Anjunadeep debut on the eclectic double-cut entitled Phoenix/Amargosa. Alongside this his remixes have also been received with equal merit on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Systematic or Poker Flat. His latest reworking of Eli & Fur on Anjunadeep made it to number three of the Beatport melodic house & techno chart. On Spotify, his music reaches an audience of 500,000 listeners each month and continues to grow every week. Currently Rodriguez Jr. is working on his third album for 2020, meticulously crafting another emotionally moving LP with exemplary skill to follow up the globally supported 2017 album Baobab. All will be unveiled next year, with new music, new show, international tours and more to come.

“The fusion of western music and Arabic influence has put Beirut on the map as the epicenter of the world's greatest cities.”
their own biography
the whole biography
The fusion of western music and Arabic influence has put Beirut on the map as the epicenter of the world's greatest cities. "Mashrik", aka Michael, who is half Lebanese/Egyptian gets his inspiration from within. Mashrik, which translates to east in Arabic, is where the sun rises to the Mashriq region surrounding Egypt. He moved to the U.S in 2014 after having grown up in Beirut his entire life. Expect his sound to be unique and unorthodox, from Oud and Qanun blends with riveting house. He hopes to eclipse and leave his trademark sound across the world. Currently residing in New York City, he can be found spinning in various venues solidifying his footprint in another global city. When he started clubbing at a young age in Lebanon, people would always ask him "what drug are you on?" as they saw him dancing like crazy to some of the best tunes. His answer was always: "the music is my drug", but no one would truly believe him and were adamant that he had ingested some sort of pill. In his own words: “Music is what I enjoy the most in my life, so I decided to become a Dj and an Event producer with the goal of creating new experiences for people and sharing with them the ecstatic feeling that I get when I hear the sound of a sax, piano and oriental instruments blended into refined house beats." He's played alongside renowned artists such as Armen Miran (Hoomidas Records), Davi (Crosstown Rebels), Lemurian, Elfenberg(Stil Vor Talent), Miichii (Wayu Records), Mandrake (Mayan Warrior), Dramian (Mayan Warrior), Magician on Duty, David Hohme, just to name a few . His footprint expands to other countries, such as Canada and Mexico where he played at M.N Roy - the most exclusive private club in Mexico City. He recently started producing his own music and will be releasing some of his work in the next year. He is also the producer of a monthly event series called Kuná, which was started in January 2019 and have consistently sold out. Kuná is one of many projects related in music that Michael has started, which strengthens his foothold in the music industry.Recently at Unveiled, Listen Brooklyn, House of Yes · often with Budakid, Van Der Laan, Yet More, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
ọba+flip is a DJ duo based in Brooklyn, New York. They met at an underground techno party in 2017—a connection that blossomed into a partnership in love and music. They’ve been playing together since 2020, turning what began as a shared hobby into a powerful way to express their deep affection for music and commitment to each other. “ọba” means “king” in Yoruba, the first language of ọba’s mother, while “flip” nods to the flip phone she still carried when they met—as well as their shared desire to “flip things up.” Together, they merge their unique lived experiences to provide uplifting, hard-driving sounds with space and groove. Their craft is a testament to their adaptability, effortlessly matching and elevating the energy of the room with a range of house, techno, and everything in between.
