Artists

Cats N' Dogsare Grzegorz Demianczuk and Wojciech Taranczuk.

The name is new, but chances are you’ve already heard Catz 'n Dogz. Previously, as "3 Channels," the best friend duo have already released red hot club records on some of the most respected underground dance labels in the world including Trapez, Crosstown Rebels, Pokerflat, Boxer, dirtybird, Leena, Trenton, and their own imprint, Channels Recordings. After making underground techno for many years, the duo have now ventured into new territory. This time, as Catz n' Dogz, the boys have headed towards deep house without losing sight of their harder techno roots - exploring lush organic soundscapes with live drums and instrumentation.

Touane is an italian expatriate who found his new home in Berlin some five years ago. Like most contemporary electronic music producers, Marco found in the german Hauptstadt the ideal habitat to develop his art. From here, he has been able to make himself a name through a series of releases which instantly displayed an original approach to techno, that still avoided blindly following the consolidated trends and revivals which seem to come up one after the other in the underground dance music scene.

The Airbus Modular sound system is controlled and managed by John Alexandropoulos and Sotiris Kouliakiotis, both of who hail from Thessaloniki, Greece. This duo teamed up in 2006 under the common theme of cutting edge electronic music and emotionally driven techno/house. Heavy classic musical themes are included in an AM track, including melodic arpeggiations, minor keys, sound scapes and dreamy transitional elements. AM makes the vast majority of their music on analog gear.

 

Somewhere on the cutting edge of IDM, breaks and dubstep there lives a very talented US duo called Aligning Minds. This amazing live set by Daniel Merrill and Michael Folk is a perfect hybrid of all of the future's music in one luscious sonic journey. Seamless transitions from concept to concept highlight this deep and moody expedition through deep swampy underground territory.

Giorgos Gatzigristos releases music on Bedrock, Channels Music, Manual Music, Wolfskuil Records, Snejl and Outside The Box. He is always building on past experiences - trying to create a hybrid techno sound that is universal.

 

Dave Pezzner is an accomplished and internationally respected producer and composer of various styles of electronic music. As one half of powerhouse duo Jacob London, Dave has credited over 15 vinyl releases and over 30 remixes shipped worldwide.

In addition to his work as an electronica artist, Dave is a composer for television, advertising and games and has composed works for American Idol, The Discovery Channel, Nordstrom, and T-Mobile.

Phil Kieran is well known and respected as one of the most innovative, futuristic and dedicated techno producers in modern history. With over 100 intensely unique and effective releases on a whole host of quality labels including Cocoon, Novamute, Kingsize, Skint, Yoshitoshi, Num, Soma, Flying Cabbage (his own label) and more, Kieran is an established artist in the EDM world with clout and impact. Prepping for the debut release of his first full length album entitled “Shh” on superlabel Cocoon and rocking some of the finest venues in the world are just some of the current details on Phil Kieran’s latest agenda.

It's a rare occurrence when a DJ rises to international acclaim based on their pure skill behind the decks. Chris Finke is a perfect example of someone so talented in his ability to destroy dance floors that it landed him sets in some of the Worlds Premier clubs and events in a relatively quick time. Initially known for killing it with his 3 turntable sets, Chris has now embraced digital technology which has opened up even more possibilities. He is also the owner of Flux Recordings, a resident at the UK's No1 techno institution, "Atomic Jam", a true globe hopping international DJ force and well on the road to becoming an established production machine.

Berlin-based Stewart Walker is a restless innovator. After making a splash in the late nineties on definitive labels like Force Inc. and Tresor, he’s had an inestimable impact on the development of current club sounds, yet consistently chooses the less traveled road: working as live producer in a world of DJs; injecting emotion into functional electronic dance music; quietly building a label family of unclassifiable artists on his own imprint, Persona.

Burnski is an exciting, young artist for whom the future holds untold possibilities. By night, he holds down a DJ residency at one of the UK’s outstanding club nights and by day, he is a tireless and imaginative producer who, each day, rarely misses an opportunity to experiment with sounds from his subterranean studio bunker in the north of England.
