It would be a little bit too easy to brand Sixtus Preiss only as a jazzman. He offers more than that. As a producer he oscilates between razorsharp drums, lush layers of synth and a clear and precise idea of a hook line.

Sixtus is a studied and qualified drummer who celebrated his debut release in 2011 on The Loud Minority 7 Inch series. In the same year he joined Affine Records – with original releases like „Samba Feelin Beein This“ and especially “Lololo” he received spins and attention all over the world. Sixtus creates Beat Music with a very own twist, reduced to their essence: loud and vibrant! Affiliated and part of “the new viennese jazz generation” he collaborates in various formations – just recently he established a virtuoso allstar-group together with Lukas König, Manu Mayr and Peter Rom from the famous “Jazzwerkstatt Wien” collective.

But Sixtus is also an accomplished tinkerer. Mostly he builds things like handmade microphones, amplifier boards or custom-made sound installations. In total: „Sixteen Million Priceless Skillz“ – there’s a lot to be discovered in the universe of Sixtus Preiss.

Zanshin is from Vienna and likes to play with sounds. 

If you are more into blahblah than listening, here's a hot balloon as follows:
	
Zanshin is a versatile beast, a swiss army knife of electronic music. His influences are as out-of-space and farfetched as they are near-field and heartfelt. Like a painter in a white room he extends his arms to the fullest to paint what's left in a musical landscape of his own, using all available colours and brushes, leaving the listener with a fully grown universe of experience. As much as he enjoys banging out frenetic and frantic beat structures capable of blowing any rock formation to bits and pieces, he relishes the lush and lascivious green fields of thick synthesized ambiences.

Exploring Zanshin will leave you with traces of any kind of broken step leading to classic electro flirting with abstract jazz and avantgarde. Bewildering field recordings mingling with heavy weight bass champions and there may always be a narrative voice lurking around the corner, singing a lullaby of sorts. This is music that spreads from sweaty club floors to lonely rides on the night train with ease, a fractured panorama of emotional complexity. A fascination with all kinds of structures in sounds, surprising twists and turns and epic moments are omnipresent and tantamount to a kind of credo. And if you ask himself, he might tell you a weird tale about an apprentice and a witch.

Zanshin is an idea, more a concept than a name, meaning "the heart that remains". As its roots are found in asian martial arts, it is hinting at a certain kind of vigilance and alertness, ready to react in any given situation. Something for your mind, body and soul.

Ogris Debris are one of Austria’s most acclaimed electronic music acts and their energetic live shows have already inspired audiences in clubs from Tokyo to Paris, London and Moscow. They receive regular airplay on radio stations across Europe like Radio FM4 or BBC Radio (Gilles Peterson) and are featured in magazines like Dummy or Groove. With their first success “Miezekatze“ they were able to land a trans-european timeless club hit.

Since forming in 2007, Ogris Debris have released a bunch of 12“ singles and EPs on their homebase Affine Records, worked together with the Round Table Knights and the guys delivered uplifting reworks for UK House maestro Joey Negro, Brownswood Recordings´ Zara McFarlane, Richard Dorfmeister´s Tosca plus the epic rework for labelmate Dorian Concept which received proper awareness beyond genre-affiliations.

The Vienna based electronic music duo is never at a loss for catchy melodies embedded in formidable harmonic structures and very individual sounddesign to form a precise and idiosyncratic language. Among their most unique features are the inventive use of voices, sampling and synthesis. They enmesh the listeners with hooklines and clever yet poetic lyrics, all the while tearing down the dancefloor with muscular and elaborate beats.
