diladï
deep, bouncy & dark. Whilst combining dreamy melodies with a driving beat, deep basslines and a touch of dark and progressive, sometimes a dash of psy; creating tension is always part of her storytelling. You could say, no matter what set she is playing, she is always taking you on a roller coaster. As diladï she moves in between slowrave and dark disco, downtempo and midtempo. However, sometimes her darker, faster side pushes through; as VALE she has an output for her love of dark melodic/peak techno and psy-techno. It's all about tense, dark melodic sets, characterized by dynamics and a substantial pinch of psy. Non-stop energy without a break. She has played in various clubs, at festivals & raves, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico, Italy, Denmark, Poland and Greece. ・・・ VENUES DE Sisyphos Kater Blau Watergate Mensch Meier Abstrakt Renate Birgit Beate Barfuß / Beate Uwe Klunkerkranich JK/Greife gART.n Station Endlos, Halle Rakete, Nürnberg Festsaal Kreuzberg Marktlokal Club w/ Holy Brunch OXI 60 hz AVA Club Velvet Monkeys Club Anita Berber Minimal Bar Alte Mälzerei, Regensburg Bar am Ende der Welt, Köln Kufa Hildesheim JAZ Rostock MVZ Wagner, Jena FESTIVALS Bucht der Träumer*, Helenesee Mystic Creatures Festival, Poland Mit Dir Festival, Klingemühle Am Bach Festival, Switzerland Entropie Festival, Niedergörsdorf CoSy Festival, Schloss Dornburg Glacis Openair, Magdeburg w/ Love Foundation Keep Yourself Festival, Steinbach-Hallenberg Buschtanz Festival, Flugplatz Tutow VIENNA Fluc+Fluc Wanne Kramladen Semmelweisklinik CH Kauz, Zürich Frieda's Büxe, Zürich Am Bach Festival Neubad, Luzern Kiosk, Luzern Hotelbar, Zürich IT Nagoat, Lago Maggiore, Italy w/ Sunfish Collective DK Culture Box, Copenhagen CRETE Madfest Crete @ Emprosneros, Crete CastleFest Crete @ Castro Apteron, Chania Southern Lights @ Fortuna Club, Sougia Pearl Cavo, Paleochora Politexnio Kritis, Chania Room, Chania MX Resonar @ Casa Lucerna, Cdmx Club Colima, Cdmx w/ WOMXN & Morfema Voodoo Mamma, Puebla Live on Radio28, Puebla

fka.m4a
London born, Berlin based fka.m4a (Jay Jackson) has built a solid reputation in the underground scene with a distinctive blend of euphoric and sensual House music. The London born and Berlin-based DJ has made an impact worldwide with filmed sets amassing over half a million streams online and has played at venues and festivals like Timewarp, Lost Village, Sonar and Panorama Bar, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise. Born in London, music was always front and centre in his family home, his mother playing music to him through headphones while he was still in the womb. Citing acts whose USP was female empowerment as the first music he found for himself, the likes of Spice Girls and Lil Kim were early musical influences, eventually leading him to start DJing on the queer scene in London. “I was working on the Soho & East London circuit” he says. “I was mainly doing guestlist and hosting but eventually they asked me to DJ and I spent a few years cutting my teeth on that scene.” Learning how to work a crowd as a pop DJ, seeing Honey Dijon DJ on his first trip to Berlin in 2016 led him down the rabbit hole of electronic music and led to a shift in his focus. “I completely fell in love with the storytelling element of her set,” he says. “I spent the next year immersed in dance music culture and started playing the electronic room at queer events.” Moving to Berlin in 2019, the pandemic quickly put a stop to his burgeoning DJ career before a switch to recording streams from his apartment during covid saw his profile blow up, leading to signing with an agency and bagging his first Panorama Bar set when lockdown lifted. With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Hï Ibiza to DGTL, fka.m4a has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading artists in the underground space.

Luna City Express
Incorporating a wide range of musical influences, with Norman being the Chicago House loving son to a Funk, Disco, HipHop and Acid Jazz spinning DJ-father and Marco being an experienced producer which already had caused some trouble on the floor whilst using the solo pseudonym Phage before they first met, the sound of Luna City Express is clearly revolving around House Music in its essential form but still remains open minded. This attitude also reflects in a string of releases unleashed since the two producers introduced their Luna City Express moniker whilst collaborating on a track crafted for the 10th anniversary of the legendary Thuringian club Muna in 2004. For this special occasion they joined forces in the studio for the first time after they had already regularly shared decks as a DJ-team for four years after their initial meeting at an Italian millennium celebration party back in 2000. Ever since their debut single „Fresh“ skyrocketed off as one of the main club hits of 2005 Luna City Express have laid down a blueprint of modern, contemporary House Music on labels like 20/20 Vision, Clap Your Hands and the Leipzig-based Moon Harbour Recordings which became a firm home to most of their singles as well as to their critically acclaimed 2009-released longplay debut „Hello From Planet Earth“, an eclectic but well-vibing collection of outstanding tracks. Whilst their initial album was praised for showcasing a vast musical expertise in a longplay format Luna City Express continually gained momentum on dancefloors worldwide due to largely successful singles and remixes released in the following years, amongst them „The Next Level feat. Roland Clark“ and „Magic Bazar“ on Moon Harbour as well as their massive rework of DJ Linus' „Who Stole The Soul“ on Get Physical in 2013. Celebrating their first decade in the business Luna City Express launched their „TEN Years“ compilation album in the end of 2014 – a massive ten track piece that breaks their massive catalogue down the absolute essence in terms of both original productions as well as remixes. Following up the complementary „TEN Years Remixed“ package included reworks crafted by the likes of Audiojack, Einzelkind and many likeminded producers before Norman Weber and Marco Resmann got down on the decks for the Italian imprint Lapsus Music where their DJ mix compilation „Luna City Express Play Lapsus“ was released in March 2016. This mix compilation once again proved why they this exceptional duo is renowned for their ability to set crowds on fire and have regularly been invited to appear on stage as a DJ-team from day dot. Combined Weber and Resmann weigh in an experience of 40 years on the decks as both started DJ'ing back in 1994. They've been hosting shows from all over Europe and the world, played multiple times at the famous Circoloco events taking place at Ibiza's legendary DC10 as well as guest starring at ANTS @ Ushuaia whilst the '15 Years of Moon Harbour' world tour took them to places like BPM Festival / Mexico, ADE / Amsterdam, Sonar Barcelona and many others. Furthermore Luna City Express completed their first full on India tour in early 2016, representing their status as one of the stalwart projects when it comes to tasteful, open minded House Music from Germany. But still, despite collecting heaps of air miles, the pair remains closely connected to the place where the Luna City Express success story all began – the beloved Muna Club in Bad Klosterlausnitz. And although their schedule has been busier than ever througout the past two years it seems like Luna City Express should better be prepared for another hectic rollercoaster ride as their new album „Lunation“ is scheduled for release via Lapsus Music in late 2016. Catering a whole of 17 tracks including collaborations with various vocalists and incorporating a musical range from trademark quality House and DeepHouse to excursions into Downtempo, Dope Beatz, BigBeat-influenced Phonk and even Drum'n'Bass „Lunation“ surely is an an album that perfectly reflects their production attitude of absolutely no limitations or stylistic borders and defo is a clear mission statement for a success story that's about to last.

Reboot
At an age when most kids are discovering video games and girls German production wizard Frank Heinrich, aka Reboot, was making tracks on studio equipment he bought with his pocket money. This precocious talent was nurtured by illicit nights out at Sven Vath’s infamous, and influential, Omen club in Frankfurt, where Reboot grew up. Despite Reboot’s early indoctrination into tough techno sounds he draws on diverse musical influences. As a producer his approach borrows liberally from across the musical spectrum from jazz to world music to classic house. Alongside friends like Chris Tietjen, Marc Scholl and Markus Fix he now spearheads ‘the new sound of Frankfurt’ The result is what Reboot calls ‘complex polyrhythmic architecture’ – and what dancefloors call dynamite. Reboot has evolved as an artist without ever losing the initial rush of passion that pushed him out of his house and into the arms of electronic music. In a career spanning early collaborations with Marco Delle Done, as Delle & Heinrich, to his current incarnation as a hugely in-demand solo artist, he has released classic records on labels such as Connaisseur, Supplement Facts, Combi Int, Moon Harbour, Cadenza, Renaissance and Cecille. His inquisitive musical nature pushes Reboot to experiment constantly, developing into a compelling performer equally at home behind the decks or playing live, and who travels effortlessly from temples of techno such as Womb, Tokyo; Fabric, London and Cocoon, Frankfurt to intimate clubs such as Robert Johnson and Brazil’s legendary D-Edge, without losing its energy and power to move. Reboot is an essential ingredient in the live show Æther, whose futuristic combination of sound of combining the sensory with cerebral, audio with emotional. Fans and record labels alike have taken note of Reboot’s rise, resulting in invitations to join Cocoon’s 2008 Disco Invaders compilation along with Johnny D and Chris Tietjen and – in 2009 – to mix the epic ‘From Frankfurt to Mannheim’ compilation for Cecille Records. Twenty-ten is set to be a definitive year for Reboot with the release of his eagerly awaited debut artist album ‘Shunyata’. The distillation of two decades immersed in music, ‘Shunyata’ is the sound of an artist in full command of his medium, mingling intelligent, exotic, articulate sound structures with the propulsive, dancefloor consciousness that has won him fans all over the world. The word ‘shunyata’ means ‘emptiness’ but as thrilled listeners will surely agree, Reboot has redefined the word for the 21st century with the fullness of ‘Shunyata’. After the big success of the album and Ibiza, 2011 & 2012 was characterized by touring all over the planet. Australia (Stereosonic Festival), USA (WMC, Electric Zoo Festival, etc). Asia (Zouk, Womb) South America (D-edge, Cremfields Brazil, Chile, Etc.)and of course all mayor clubs in Europe. Due to the travelling, 2011 and 2012 studio time was rare, still there was numerous remixes (Marshall Jefferson, Can 7, Santos, Spencer Parker, etc.) plus a new release on cadenza in 2012 – followed by a mixcompilation alongside Pete Tong on defected. Twenty-Thirteen kicked off with a extended USA tour including Performances during WMC at Space, Story, nikki beach and Delano. During 2013 summer, it’s all about touring europe (EGG, Mamaia, Guendalina, Rashomon, Extrema Festival, Ultraeurope etc..) Reboot also announced his own day at Ushuaia Tower called Rock N’ Beats (a tribute to our rock lifestyle), performances to Ushuaia at Ants party. First steps of his own, just born, company an as a principal artist of it.

Karsten Schmidt
Karsten Schmidt is one of Berlin’s “Wendekinder”, or one of those, who witnessed the wall dividing the city falling, which kick-started the development of the underground electronic music culture in Berlin. This lead to him establishing a connection with electronic music from its early days. Like many others who began their musical journey as frequent visitors of clubs like Bunker, the old Tresor, Walfisch, E-Werk, WMF, he made contact with known and unknown DJs, who deeply influenced him and he began his intensive exploration of electronic music. Even if the popularity of many of those music pioneers and idols he met early on changed in time, his love for the music didn’t, as well as his desire to exceed the limits of 4/4. This is how it came to be, that Karsten Schmidt’s all time favorites belong not only to the Disco, House and Techno classics, but also incorporate musical influences from Ambient to Drum’n’Bass. Along with Giorgio Moroder, Lil’ Louis, Carl Craig, Underground Resistance, Moritz von Oswald, such names as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher or Jean-Michel Jarre belong to his musical background. Given this history, you can expect to hear many nuances and surprises in his sets. Even those, who love music from the past, can check some of his current sets, where among the latest and future hits some old-school gems can be discovered.
