About artists:
Jamie Jones
A man who needs no introduction to many LA folks, Jamie’s performances at alongside Droog at various Hollywood hot spots have earned him many local fans. With tongues wagging about his debut full length on Crosstown Rebels, dropping any day, this is one day in the sun not be missed.
Clive Henry
Clive Henry first started turning heads as one half of tribal house duo Peace Division, now considered amongst England’s finest production and remixing teams. His prolific production talents and international tour schedule meant he quickly became an international fave, and a residency at the incredible Circoloco in Ibiza’s DC10 club put him firmly in the spotlight.
Damian Lazarus
One of the foremost tastemakers in underground music Damian runs the highly respected Crosstown Rebels label and is one of the world’s top DJs. A true music connoisseur his tastes run the full gamut, but expect twisted weirdness guaranteed to capture you on the dance floor and take you on a music journey to wherever Damian pleases. His long awaited debut artist album drops in May on Get Physical.
Matthias Tanzman
From the beginning Matthias’s musical output has revolved around more than just functional club music, regardless of whether it’s on the turntables or in the studio. Combining subtle arrangements that ride the deep vibes that lie between House and Techno, yet never forgetting the drive for the dance floor- that is what Matthias Tanzmann’s music is about.
Simon Baker
On the back of excellent and high-profile releases for Cocoon, Get Physical, Connaisseur, Leftroom and Playhouse, alongside touring with Steve Lawler, 2008 was a true breakthrough year for Simon Baker. 2009 looks even better, with some stand out performances at WMC awaiting. A top DJ, producer, and head of the excellent Infant Records label, you’ll be better off from having heard from the hands of Simon Baker.
Martin Landsky
Many will remember Martin’s memorable LA debut at The Room last June following his stand out sets at DEMF and WMC. With further much hyped releases for Poker Flat, label of his long term fan and friend Steve Bug, Landsky’s twisted deep funky sound has kept him firmly on the forefront of contemporary dance music.
John Tejada
Normally associated with his peers in techno from Detroit, Europe and elsewhere, John Tejada has embraced electronic music as a personal frontier, expanding on his resume as a techno recording artist as producer, remixer, DJ, and label owner. Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of DJs as well as on the home stereo.
