    their own biography

    the whole biography
    During their university years, DAY/DEM spearheaded DIY music events in Gainesville, FL, revitalizing the electronic music scene in the north Florida town. By throwing renegade events in storage units, record stores, and detached garages, the artist’s impact reverberated heavily throughout the community. Gatherings like these are where their love for the craft of music curation first sprouted as they turned these local spaces into sanctuaries for a tribe of music lovers. The electro savant now thrives in the unknown, wielding the power of selection and taste to transform dance floors at venues like Nowadays, Paragon, and Mansions in New York City, continuously molding their creative identity rooted in acid, dub techno, minimal and house. Their emotive presence aligns powerfully with artists they’ve opened for such as Dutch techno experimentalist Spekki Webu of Mirror Zone and Belgian pathfinder Rey Colino behind Kalahari Oyster Cult. Their musical palette is further revealed through productions via Compost Discs, Starry Records, and various self-releases. DAY/DEM is dynamic, intuitive, and creatively restless, quickly becoming a name that resonates far beyond the decks. Words by Dazion Prosser

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Gladstone Deluxe is a New York based artist working with percussion and electronics. As a percussionist, Gladstone is interested in how conceptions and politics of time are embodied, and can bleed into the social topography of a culture through rhythmic performance. As a technologist, he develops systems for the augmentation and amplification of percussive messages. His experimental approach towards composition and interface design is a collision of the spiritual and the cybernetic. Gladstone has recently released music with Fixed Rhythms, Subsonic Ebonics, Black Techno Matters, and is/was. Films that Gladstone scored have been shown at the British Film Institute, a STARZ television premiere, the Hawai’i International Film Festival and more. Gladstone has recently appeared in galleries like The Warhol Museum, Rubin Foundation, Fridman Gallery, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and clubs all over the country. The past couple years have held collaborations with Moog Synthesizers, Sō Percussion, Attacca Quartet, Marcos Balter, Maria Chávez, Ikue Mori and more. Gladstone also keeps busy as the timbales player for Las Mariquitas, which was recently featured in Rolling Stone. Gladstone holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, an MFA from Columbia University, and is a Ph.D candidate at Princeton University.

    the whole biography
    Chinedum Nwosu’s relentless passion for the finer elements of electronic dance music has seen her win over hearts and minds in every aspect she has turned her attention to - from her transformative DJ performances, authoritative productions and exquisitely curated labels - Intacto and now the newly formed Music That Moves (MTM Records). Like only a handful others in the scene, her name signifies a strength of purpose and commitment to quality that is rare in the world of dance music. Based in Amsterdam and with Nigerian roots, Shinedoe has graced some of the world’s most significant DJ booths - from her countless performances in Berlin's Berghain to underground festivals and clubs all over the world. Beginning her journey as a DJ at 19 years old, Shinedoe has drawn inspiration from originators like Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson and Orlando Voorn. With her deep connection to the sounds of Detroit, Chicago and the often unsung Amsterdam scene, her DJ sets blend these influences with a warmth and style that few can hope to emulate - her mixes take dancers on a sensual, explorative trip to the beyond. Having honed her considerable skills at her own Inmotion parties in Amsterdam from 2001 (now renamed ‘Intacto Nights’), Shinedoe shared the stage with techno and house royalty, whilst making a huge impact on Amsterdam’s burgeoning scene with her forward-thinking booking policy. Shinedoe radiates a positivity that at times can seem in short supply elsewhere in electronic dance music. Dive in to her extensive back catalogue of productions and it’s clear she has established a sound that is recognisably her own - both timeless and unique. Her releases stretch back over a decade to when her debut track Dillema dropped on Dutch label 100% Pure in 2004. It was clear nothing was going to hold her back - the track was picked up by everyone from the techno elite to the bedroom DJs and ravers who couldn't get enough of its tough, funky and infectious groove. A series of killer 12s would follow, both on her own Intacto imprint and labels such as Ibadan Records, Cocoon, Bpitch Control - to name but a few. Key moments included the Fuse Presents Shinedoe mix that dropped in 2007 on Music Man, which added extra heat to her already hot reputation. Having also contributed stellar mixes for XLR8, Groove magazine, Electronic Beats, and Data Transmission, Shinedoe also delivered exceptional remixes for the likes of The Knife, Orlando Voorn, Pantha Du Prince, Terre Thaemlitz, and Booka Shade. Since its founding in 2004, Intacto has gone from strength to strength under the guidance of Shinedoe and co-head 2000 and One (Dylan Hermelijn). Now with around 100 releases to its name, the label represents a distinct approach to electronic music - rooted in respect, quality and professionalism, yet wildly courageous and adventurous in its releases. Intacto was heavily populated by Shinedoe’s productions - including three albums (Sound Travelling, No Boundaries and Illogical Directions) that won plaudits across the board. Yet in in 2018, Shinedoe founded Music That Moves, a new label exclusively focussing on her own musical vision. MTM is the home for precision techno with soul - literally music that will move you in every sense, and another reminder as to why Chinedum Nwosu is one of the most engaging and inspiring artists in electronic music. Music That Moves (MTM) Founded in 2018, Music That Moves is the latest venture by Amsterdam-based techno maven Shinedoe. Having been jointly responsible for the long running and hugely influential Intacto label with partner in crime 2000 and One, Chinedum Nwosu’s new label is a vehicle for her own special musical vision. Focussing entirely on Shinedoe productions, Music That Moves is the home for precision techno with soul - literally music that will move you in every sense.

    “Underground Resistance is a label for a movement.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Underground Resistance is a label for a movement. A movement that wants change by sonic revolution. We urge you to join the resistance and help us combat the mediocre audio and visual programming that is being fed to the inhabitants of Earth, this programming is stagnating the minds of the people; building a wall between races and preventing world peace. It is this wall we are going to smash. By using the untapped energy potential of sound we are going to destroy this wall much the same as certain frequencies shatter glass. Techno is a music based in experimentation; it is music for the future of the human race. Without this music there will be no peace, no love, no vision. By simply communicating through sound, techno has brought people of all different nationalities together under one roof to enjoy themselves. Isn't it obvious that music and dance are the keys to the universe? So called primitive animals and tribal humans have known this for thousands of years! We urge all brothers and sisters of the underground to create and transmit their tones and frequencies no matter how so called primitive their equipment may be. Transmit these tones and wreak havoc on the programmers!
