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.

“Iman Rizky was bred on house beats from the early '80s and '90s.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Iman Rizky was bred on house beats from the early '80s and '90s. His relationship with dance music back then was a transcendental experience every weekend at places like New York City's Red Zone, the Tunnel, Limelight’s Disco 2000, the Sound Factory, and the legendary Twilo. Iman became a promoter for the Tunnel, Limelight, and the Palladium during the club scene era of the late '80s. His immersion in the heyday of club culture in NYC prompted the pursuit of his true life-long passion of DJing. With his extensive knowledge of dance music from both participation and promotion, he was able to cultivate a unique DJ sound to call his own. As the club scene era wound down and the dance music scene went underground in the early 2000s, Iman formed the party production group, Ku-Deta, which put together events stateside as well as internationally. Around the same time, he started his weekly DJ residency at SEA in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where he continues to play on Fridays and Sundays. Ku-Deta provided a precursory template for ebb + flow music, an NYC-based production company that Iman Rizky founded with Gavin Stephenson in 2013. The underground parties of ebb + flow music have brought consistent high quality music and an undeniably contagious vibe to the dance music scene. As an ebb + flow resident, Iman's DJ sets are laden with minimal groovy beats layered with melodic sounds that build in a cycle of high peaks and low valleys. He takes the crowd on a thrilling roller coaster ride of music that elevates the mind, moves the body, and satisfies the soul. In the summer of 2014, Iman took ebb + flow to another level with collaboration on music production with Justin Marchacos and Gavin Stephenson. The trio became Second Format and has been producing tracks with driving bass lines and catchy, danceable hooks. Justin and Second Format's Giants EP was released on the Cityfox label earlier this year and charted in the Top 10 on Beatport within its first week.Recently at The Onyx Room at House of Yes, About Last Night, Musica Club NYC · often with Gavin Stephenson, Drew Proud, Sky So Young, none of them here that night

Kirk draws from the city’s foundational house grooves alongside the storied midwest techno of the 90’s, all the way through the raw energy of his beloved Y2K rave generation. Kirk’s reach across a myriad of stages in Chicago and beyond is equally broad. From the basement sweatboxes of the west side to the legendary Metro and smartbar, all the way up to the lofty ARC Festival stages, Kirk has shattered expectations and shaken asses with a sound that is equally rooted as it is relentless. Further afield at the likes of SILO New York and El Cid in LA, (as well as command performances for Boiler Room and Elevator Music), Kirk’s ebullient sound has traveled well beyond the mighty Midwest scenes. As a co-founder and driving force behind Chicago’s notorious BOOTS parties, Kirk gets his hands dirty both behind the decks and behind the scenes. This chaotic and wildly successful staple of Chicago’s world-renowned queer and drag scenes has sold out the city’s top tier venues time and time again, leaving a trail of tinsel and tinnitus wherever they go. The likes of DOSS, LSDXOXO, UNIIQU3, Big Freedia, Martyn Bootyspoon, GRRL, SoFTT, and local legends like Pageant Queens have revelled in the chaos of a BOOTS party, but those who know know - it's the vibe brought by the BOOTS crowd that make it such an infamous affair. When not rocking a dancefloor, Kirk can be found dodging the daylight in the studio, where he’s been honing his signature sound and preparing a raft of releases for various outlets. Complimenting his special blend of sonic influences, and always with an eye for the dancefloor, Kirk’s midwest charm and fair dose of cheekiness constantly show through. Across his many pursuits, Kirk’s indefatigable desire to bring joy and levity to the dancefloor, and the world, comes through in bursts of sound and color and defies you to remain static.often with RaverPik, The Jakob Sister, AREA ØNE, none of them here that night
