Featured Artists:
Dave Clarke is one of the most respected and idiosyncratic techno DJs and producers of the modern era, with a brand of straightahead techno with the ferocity of hardcore yet the sublime feelings of classic Detroit techno.
Anja Schneider has four jobs: She’s a label head (Mobilee Records), a DJ, a producer and a radio personality all rolled into one. Despite its short history, Mobilee has grown into one of Berlin’s most closely watched and stimulating outfits.
DJ Sneak is one of the second wave of influential Chicago house producers and a legendary member of the vanguard of late-’90s American house producers. Sneak’s new sound revolutionized house music with inspirational sounds and rhythms never before heard.
The Black Dog don’t really need an introduction. Highly regarded as one of the most influential figures in the British electronica scene, they are synonymous with the rise of electronic music in the UK. Their rhythmic inventiveness coupled with their deep and innovative approach to music in general made them pioneers of UK techno, heralding a new breed of music entirely.
Vector Lovers Martin Wheeler’s lovingly crafted output engages the listener with an attention to detail and emotional resonance seldom found in purely synthetic music. From derelict neon soundscapes to future robot funk, Wheeler’s fusion of deep, quirky electro and precise melodic intuition has won popularity beyond the confines of any genre.
