Sensing the call of the beat in the deep, tech and techno sound that swept the continent in the late 1990s, Bosnian DJ Sinisa Tamamovic hit his own decks with an endless string of gigs in his hometown of Banja Luka, Bosnia And Herzegovina. Tamamovic began captivating local audiences, setting the stage for what would become a distinguished career.

As years unfolded, Sinisa has established a reputation for throwing mind-numbing parties across Europe, attracting a legion of followers willing to cross borders to get a taste of his twisted techno, tech-house and minimal beats.

Since 1999 Sinisa has successfully partnered with fellow Banja Luka DJ Mladen Tomic in their Urban Beat organization. Quickly recognizing a niche to fill in the recovering Bosnia, Urban Beat has evolved as probably the country’s foremost promoter of events and parties by booking top drawer international names to satisfy a hungry home crowd.

Sinisa has drawn a legion of followers by playing all over Europe, Latin America and the United States presenting his personal style with miraculous mixing skills to some of the finest festivals worldwide.

In 2011, Sinisa made the move to London, England where he continues to expand his own musical journey.

December 2005, a milestone year for Sinisa’s career, marks his first original vinyl release which opened the doors to an international calling. Since then, Sinisa put out a stream of original tracks and remixes for the biggest names and record labels in the scene. Throughout the years, he continued with an impressive list of releases on Dubfire’s legendary label Sci+Tec, Tronic, Mindshake Records, Plus 8 Records, Second State, Kraftek, Truesoul, Yoshitoshi, Elevate, Senso Sounds, Systematic Recordings as well as expanding his own label Night Light Records with fresh talents and renowned names.

Recognized by his unique energetic sound and distinct organic drums, Sinisa hit the Top 4 position on the tech house Beatport chart with the track ‘Who We Are’ that came out on 1605 in June 2011 and pursued with another Top 4 track ‘Waking Up’ released on Sci+Tec in August 2011. This was the moment when nothing could stop Sinisa shaking the most important music charts and breaking boundaries with his remarkable heavy bassline for years to come.

In October 2012, he collaborated on a track with Paco Osuna, which was released on Richie Hawtin’s famed imprint Plus 8 Records. Later on, he continued delivering other remixes and musical collaborations with Umek, Joseph Capriati, Jay Lumen, Secret Cinema, Eddie Amador, Pleasurekraft, Tom Middleton, 6400 Crew, Felix Krocher and many more. Sinisa’s music was spread far and wide and infiltrated into the many sets of Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Paco Osuna, Monika Kruse, Carl Cox, Pan-Pot, Umek, Joseph Capriati, Hot Since 82, Timo Mass just to name a few and transmitted at the most famous radio stations such us BBC Radio.

Established in the 90s, Misstress Barbara (word play between Miss and Stress) is a pioneering DJ/Producer and one of the first female superstar DJs who helped inspire future generations with her explosive Techno sets. Whilst headlining major festivals and events globally, there was a period in the ’00s when she was consistently voted inside of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs.

Born in Italy, she moved to Canada at age 8. Curious and passionate by nature, she loves exploring new fields and reaching new goals. To name a few, she is a drummer, she has a glider and private pilot license, she graduated University in Communications/Cinema, she is a boat captain and sailing instructor, and she also launched her own bean-to-bar chocolate brand Barbon Chocolate, crafting everything by hand herself. A woman of many talents indeed.

But among all of her passions, music was always her main focus since the start of her remarkable career, which has earned her multiple accolades (2001 Best Montreal International Music Initiative Award / 2002 UK Underground Music Awards’ Best Breakthrough DJ / 2009 GAMIQ’s Best Electronic Album of the Year Awards and 2010 Canada’s JUNO Awards’ Best Dance Album of the Year nomination for “I’m No Human” / 2014 MTL Awards’ Best Montreal DJ, to name a few). Her extensive discography is found among the world’s best Techno labels, including her own, launched in 1999 under the name Relentless, which became Iturnem in 2003. Barbara Brown used to be her alter-ego used for her softer productions, but she now releases all her music under her main name, regardless of the style, as she did for her albums I’m No Human and Many Shades of Grey. This might confuse her most loyal techno fans, although they should rest assured that she will never stray away from her first true love: Techno.

After an epic first edition in 2011 with the name Revolution 909, the festival grew to be a regular no-nonsense Techno party in the years that followed. The recipe always stayed the same: one stage, an intimate vibe, and quality Techno.

Hobbyist, music enthusiast, annoying show host..

Since 2005 I do a little show called ECLECTIX, where I present all the music I like and where I talked.. ..a LOT! ;)

Over the years, I've been with a few radio stations like bigbeat.ch, eclectix.de and evosonic.de.
Currently I'm with https://ConnectingBeats.de, second Sunday every month and https://TruSkoolBreakz.com - last Sunday of every month, 6PM (CET) 

I also started producing mostly remixes under my real name, Philipp Giebel: https://philippgiebel.me

Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.

A key figure on the Dutch scene since 1991. An international headlining artist known for his sets in Berghain, Space Ibiza, Womb Tokio, Watergate, his frequent Elrow gigs or headlining every major festival in the Netherlands. Gem Records label boss responsible for moving the careers of Egbert, Enrico Sangiuliano and Reinier Zonneveld forward. Steady producer of countless essential techno classics for over 25 years. One of the most original and down to earth pioneers of electronic music on the planet. All legitimate ways to describe Jeroen Verheij a.k.a. Secret Cinema.

Ich bin das Woerli. Ich bin ein Wohnzimmer. In mir kann man raven, abhängen und Musik hören, vor mir kann man cornern und Döschen pieksen. Ich habe tolle Freund*innen, die mich besuchen und oft auch sehr lange bleiben. Aber ich mag das. Weil man sich wegen Covid ne Zeit lang nicht wirklich sehen konnte habe ich meine Liebsten gefragt, ob sie nicht wenigstens die Musik, die normalerweise in mir laufen würde, aufnehmen könnten. Haben sie gemacht. Fast 30 mal. Jetzt ist das Virus Ding so ziemlich vorbei und man kann wieder rumkommen. Macht das mal alle!

Auf bald, Kinder <3
