OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Koris is an artist of trajectory. Trajectory of sets, which the DJ and producer of Swiss origin knows how to put together like sensitive trips, on the outer borders of contemporary electronic trends. An artist’s trajectory too, as Koris is coming back front stage after exploring other creative fields – contemporary dance, urban happening and event layouts.

Coming back to music as well as returning to being himself. A major figure of the international scene since the early 2000s, he is now letting personal inclinations blossom more than ever in terms of deep house, techno and IDM. The eclecticism of his selections envelops the body as much as the mind: in the connections which link one track to another, emerges an organic space, an invitation to poetry and escape.

Starting point: an adolescence of synthesizers, turntables and samplers, tucked away in the basement of the family home, Koris tried out his ear and technique. He was soon invited to the biggest festivals: Mayday, Energy, Street Parade. A set in San Francisco in front of thousands of people in a disused warehouse, launched a career spanning Europe, the United States, Russia and Japan.

With a commitment to making the pulse serve emotion, Koris favors human dimensions of music, powered at the heart of machines as much as in terms of the imagination.

At a time when a new generation of labels and listeners is allowing a culture, which has long been confined to the night, be brought into the light, Koris wants to defend a techno which is one of sharing. "Today, styles and audiences are combining in new ways. I want to go towards this spontaneity."

An innovative, flexible techno is the trajectory which is already shining its first golden light of tomorrow. 

Beaner is a master at losing mobile phones and staying awake for long periods of time without the aid of stimulants. He enjoys masturbation, difficulty, overcoming odds, and tear-jerking finales. Together with C.L.A.W.S. he is WarVsSleep and is one third of supergroup the 3 Good Doctors with Agaric and Ed Davenport.

Born in the depths of a Tajikistan prison, to a priest and a prisoner, Beaners life was never meant to be lived. One botched abortion later, screams and cries were heard round the world. A star is born! Raised later by wolves and the Jim Jones Peoples Temple he heard the calling through howls and shared cult hymns. Its MUSIC time!!! (not unlike the kool-aid man bursting through the walls). The Circus- San Francisco. The Generator- London. The Vieux Port- Marsielles. The Tufts Campus Arts House- Boston. The ABC No Rio- New York. The Gutter- Seattle. All just stops on the rollercoaster ride to Berlin. And Wildly Unchecked Success! A Residency at Bar25 (the studio 54 of the sexting generation) and releases on a smattering of recording labels followed. And the world cooed, like a dirty, dirty bitch. 2012 brought the launch of anarcho-situationist cult-label-brigade "La Mission (kunst/WORK)". The stars will melt and we will drink them from our cups. Revolución!
