their own biography
the whole biography
Grant Dell With over 40 releases, you may know him as Uhuru Beats, Croydon Punks Ltd, Masonic Noodles, or the Chicago Transit Authority. Grant’s first release as Tribalation - EP1 on Loaded records got licensed to Strictly Rhythm; the rest is dance music history. The son of a jazz musician, Grant’s teen years rebelled to the raw aesthetic of punk, but his tastes quickly warmed to the rolling basslines of dancehall and dub reggae. South London soundclashes cemented his love of gritty low-slung frequencies. And then acid house. Down Clink Street, deep underground to Heart and Soul and onto to countless warehouse parties, Grant took his innate appreciation of dancefloor dynamics behind the decks. Grant’s shared love of the best of Chicago house and Detroit techno started morphing into a sound in the early days that could only be detected in the mix. He’s now widely regarded as a Tech-House pioneer, but his influences span a far broader spectrum – Early disco to post punk - Barrington Levy to Basic Channel with a splash of soul and that inimitable swing. In 1996, after securing a one-year residency at the Underground Cafe in Sydney, Australia, and a one-year residency at the Red Zone in Auckland New Zealand, Grant embarked on the first ever tech-house world tour alongside fellow pioneers Terry Francis, Mr. C and Colin Dale. In 2001 Tribalation were voted DJ Magazine’s Best Newcomers. A succession of solo releases followed on key US labels; Tango, Plastic City, Detour, Nightshift, Big Chief, Stupendous, Headtunes, Worship, Leaf and Utensil Recordings. Grant was soon spending most of his time stateside collaborating with the likes of Tony Hewitt, Jay Tripwire, Tyler Stadius and Adam Collins. With his tracks finding their way onto mix compilations by Fabric, Renaissance, Tyrant , Nu Breed Global Underground ,Turbo Recordings, La Terrazza and DC-10 in Ibiza, Grant was soon spinning his wares everywhere from Canada to Costa Rica and Brazil to Buenos Aires. In the UK, his remixes for Hooj Choons and releases on Bosh, Tag, Evasive and Rescue Recordings have extended and enhanced his reputation. He’s rocked the glitterati at Pacha in Argentina and the Rex in Paris, but he’s in his element at underground house temples like Wiggle and Kerfuffle. Watch out for his new releases in 2013 on Murge and Blockhead Recordings and DCS Trax - search under Croydon’s favourite US import. http://www.discogs.com/search?grant+dell&type=all&page=1Their RA profile lists Hooj Choons, Worship Recordings, Loaded Records, Visitor and 6 more.Recently at H0L0 · often with Evil, Joe BRT, Eddie Richards, none of them here that night

Kurilo - born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and now based in New York, Kurilo has been deeply connected to rhythm since the age of 12, when he first began playing percussion. What started as countless hours of practice evolved into a passion for electronic music, eventually leading him to the turntables and the studio. A devoted vinyl selector with a rapidly growing collection that spans decades, Kurilo brings an eclectic yet cohesive sound to his DJ sets — blending rare 90s gems with forward-thinking electronic cuts. Beyond the decks, he is equally at home performing live, weaving percussive textures and hypnotic rhythms into dynamic performances. As a producer, Kurilo has built a strong discography. He is the co-founder of Trance Pandemic, Tunamelt and founder of Etat Records, carving out platforms for innovative and boundary-pushing music. His artistry is also represented by Nomad Agency and he is also a resident DJ at Signal in New York. Kurilo has taken his sound across Europe. With each project, release, and performance, he continues to refine a distinctive style that bridges raw energy with deep musicality.Tech House on 18, Techno on 16, Electro on 15 and Acid on 16. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Tunamelt (2), Etat_Records (1) and Galactic Plastic (1); their RA profile also lists SPAZIOTEMPO, Trance Pandemic, Tancido and FIKTIV. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Signal, Outer Heaven, Refuge · often with J.
