Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL, is a Grammy nominated and multi platinum producer, musician, and composer.

After the break up of his band The Birthday Party in 1982, Nick Cave formed Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds who released their debut album From Her To Eternity in 1984. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have since released fourteen studio albums; and the band's current output remains as vital and explorative as those early pioneering sessions recorded at Hansa Studios in Berlin.

One of the most critically acclaimed acts working today, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ influence has been profound and far-reaching: artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, Metallica and The Arctic Monkeys have all covered their work.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -- Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, Jim Sclavunos, Thomas Wydler and Conway Savage -- have been working together for nearly two decades. Push The Sky Away, the band’s fifteenth studio album, was released in 2013.

Running Assemble and Music Collect Records.

28 years in the game as a DJ, label founder and record store owner, Solid Funk aka Joao Maria has made a name for himself by setting his own standards, trusting his musical vision and cherishing his independence. The results speak for themselves and prove his choices right.
Since he started Djing in London, back in 1998, he has been featured in the lineups of an impressive list of parties, clubs and festivals worldwide. After moving back to Portugal, he quickly became a regular fixture at clubs and festivals across the country, including Ministerium, Lux, Kadoc, Neopop and Jardim Sonoro, among others. Throughout his career he has also made frequent appearances in Berlin to play gigs at the highly regarded Club Der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, Salon Wilde Renate and more. His visit to WOMB, in Tokyo, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, and an invitation to play at Cocoon Heroes or Get Perlonized are also worthy of mention, with the culmination of this steady ascent being a guest spot at the tINI and The Gang parties. 
Not satisfied with simply playing a refined blend of techno and house, Solid Funk helps bring it out to music addicts as a booker, promoter, label and record shop owner. Over the years he has been the head behind electronic music lineups at big festivals in Portugal, such as Sudoeste, Super Bock Super Rock, Sumol Summer Fest, and genre-specific happenings like Lisboa Electronica and Jardim Sonoro.
One of his most remarkable feats as a promoter are the infamous Assembling parties, which take place at Lisbon’s riverfront location Ribeira das Naus. These events stem from his Assemble Music label, which has released music by house and techno pioneers like Ricardo Villalobos, Baby Ford, Aubrey, Population One, Altitude, Activ-Analog, Norken and Wolfgang Voight (as Studio 1), as well as contemporary movers like Daze Maxim, Vera, Lerosa, STL, St. Joseph, Mike Shannon, Reedale Rise and many more. 
Collect is Joao Maria’s latest venture, a multifaceted family project that blends food, cocktails and music in a cosy two-floor space in downtown Lisbon, where you can listen or dance to Dj sets and live acts by renowned and up & coming artists, dig for gems at the record store or grab a bite and a cocktail. You can also tune in to the action through Collect Radio, which regularly streams online. Also under the Collect umbrella is Collect Music, a label which aims to release old school material, reissues and future classic on vinyl. 
In short, you don ́t build a 26 year long career as a DJ, make steady and consistent connections with the best in the business and make a mark on the music industry by accident. Solid Funk aka Joao Maria has done it, and promises to keep doing it for many years, by setting the bar high, staying true to himself and then living up to expectations.

Hello, my name is Soultron™.



Welcome to the SoulRobots Soulcast.



I'm hosting this soulcast to prove that Robots have groovings too and like to hear soul music to warm their circuits. In this sessions I'm going to show you the results of my ongoing research on music. I'm always researching for new releases and digging some lost pearls from the past. 



SoulRobots have a part on the middle of the sessions called “Sampled History” where I mix two songs. One from the present and the artist that he sampled or have been inspired by. In the end of the sessions I will end with a soul classic to massage your brain and warm your heart. 



You can listen to SoulRobots Soulcast every 2 weeks on&nbsp;
