To say Stephan Zovsky's career started in 2019 would be wrong. It would omit any mention of the two decades of DJing he’s got under his belt already, with countless gigs all over the place. It would omit any mention of his 2010 album ‘The Village’, produced with long-year musical partner Sandro Schäufler. It would omit any mention of his first set as Green Lake Project in 2016. No, to say his career started in 2019 would be plain out wrong.

Yet 2019 is a milestone year in the life of this prolific creative from Mecklenburg Vorpommern, that rural North-Eastern corner of Germany. It's the year his ‘Connect EP’ is out on 3000Grad Records, the first of a perpetual string of releases. It's the year Stephan Zovsky starts his own label Sueslide, a launching pad for his growing musical output that finally meets his notoriously high quality standards towards himself. It's also the year ‘GLP’ drops - the debut album of Green Lake Project, his successful joint venture with Mollono.Bass.

His ever increasing skill level as a DJ and producer resonates intensely with the scene and its dancefloors: His tracks rank high in prestigious charts. His inbox is flooded with remix requests, some even from rather remote music scenes like Indie or Trance. He is invited to perform his Stephan Zovsky liveact at Fusion Festival's famous Turmbühne in 2021.

His diverse background and tireless productivity make it impossible to pin Stephan Zovsky down to a particular genre. Anyway, mentioning his name in one breath with the term ‘Melodic Techno’ doesn't make him frown; the terms ‘tool-like’, ‘DJ-oriented’ or ‘club-ready’ make him smile. You won't hear him playing obvious bawl-along hits, but neither will you hear him playing nerdy, overly intellectual tunes. His understated, functional style sits comfortably in the middle, making him the perfect prime time artist for those moments when it's all about no-frills, strictly-thrills dancefloor ecstasy.

Es wäre falsch zu behaupten, die Geschichte von Stephan Zovsky hätte 2019 ihren Anfang. Das würde verschweigen, dass er an diesem Punkt schon auf zwei Jahrzehnte als DJ zurückblickt, auf unzählige Auftritte an ebenso vielen Orten. Es würde sein 2010 erschienenes Album ‘The Village’ unerwähnt lassen, das zusammen mit seinem langjährigen Musik-Partner Sandro Schäufler entstanden ist. Es würde sein erstes Green Lake Projekt Set im Jahre 2016 unterschlagen. Nein, es wäre wirklich falsch zu behaupten, diese Geschichte hätte 2019 ihren Anfang.

Und doch ist 2019 ein entscheidendes Jahr für diesen umtriebigen und ideenreichen Charakter aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Es ist das Jahr, in dem seine ‘Connect EP’ auf 3000Grad Records erscheint, und mit ihr beginnt ein kontinuierlicher Strom von Veröffentlichungen, der seither nicht mehr abreißt. Es ist das Jahr, in dem Stephan Zovsky sein eigenes Label Sueslide startet, als unabhängige Veröffentlichungsplattform für seine immer zahlreicher werdenden Produktionen, die nun endlich seinem äußerst selbstkritischen Qualitätsanspruch gerecht werden. Es ist das Jahr, in dem 'GLP' erscheint, das erste Album von Green Lake Project, seinem erfolgreichen Gemeinschaftsprojekt mit Mollono.Bass.

Seine beständig wachsende Kunstfertigkeit hinterlässt in der Szene und auf ihren Dancefloors einen deutlich spürbaren Eindruck: Seine Tracks tauchen regelmäßig in viel beachteten Charts auf. Ihn erreichen immer mehr Anfragen für Remixes, sogar aus recht weit entfernten Szenen wie etwa dem Indie- oder Trance-Umfeld. Er wird mit seinem Stephan Zovsky Liveact auf die sagenumwobene Turmbühne des Fusion Festivals 2021 eingeladen.

Mit Blick auf seinen vielfältigen Hintergrund und seine unermüdliche Produktivität ist es schlichtweg unmöglich, Stephan Zovsky einem bestimmten Genre zuzuordnen. Wenn wir ihn in einem Atemzug mit dem Begriff 'Melodic Techno' erwähnen, dann runzelt er zumindest nicht die Stirn; wenn wir Begriffe wie 'toolartig', 'DJ-tauglich' oder 'tanzflächenkompatibel’' verwenden, dann schmunzelt er. Vorhersehbare Mitgröhl-Hits gibt es von ihm ebenso wenig zu hören wie allzu verkopften Frickel-Sound. Mit seinen funktionalen und doch subtilen Sets passt er ideal in jene Art von Spitzenzeit, in der es ganz ohne Hype und Schnickschnack einfach nur gediegen zur Sache gehen soll.

Eisig pfeift der kräftige Ostwind in dieser finsteren Januarnacht über die gefrorene Fläche des Sees. Drüben am Ufer kuscheln sich die Häuschen von Mirow aneinander, einladend und warm schimmert das Licht aus ihren kleinen Fenstern. Doch was ist das? Unter dem Brausen des Wintersturms ist noch ein anderes Geräusch vernehmbar: Ein dumpfes, rhythmisches Pochen... Seine Quelle findet sich in einer Stube der kleinen Ortschaft. Die Situation hier steht in geradezu exotischem Gegensatz zur eisigen Winternacht draußen: Hemdsärmelig zappeln zwei Burschen vor einer Groovebox, einem Laptop und angeschlossenem MIDI Controller und haben sichtlich Freude daran, ihren kleinen Gerätepark in hyperaktivem Rausch zu traktieren. Doch es ist nicht nur ihr leidenschaftlicher Einsatz an den Geräten, der den beiden den Schweiß auf die Stirn treibt. Auch der Groove selbst, den sie immer wieder modulieren und zu immer neuen Höhepunkten aufschichten, strahlt eine energetische Wärme aus. In dieser Nacht des noch jungen Jahres 2003 beschließen Sandro Schäufler und Stefan Witzovsky, ein gemeinsames Liveprojekt zu starten.

Doch es soll noch 5 Jahre dauern, bis die beiden Mecklenburger ihre treibenden, auf den Punkt reduzierten Tech House Produktionen auf eine richtige Tanzfläche abfeuern. Nach einigen viel versprechenden Veröffentlichungen gelingt ihnen mit dem Titel „Everyday“, der 2009 auf dem heimischen Label Acker Records erscheint, der endgültige Durchbruch in die soundtechnische Oberliga. Grund hierfür sind zahllose Sessions im gemeinsamen Studio. Einmal verbarrikadieren sie sich für ganze vier Tage ohne Unterbrechung vor ihren Geräten, stellen während dessen den Titel „Am Utkieck“, der auf 3000° Records erschien, sowie ein sonnendurchflutetes Live Set fertig und tragen trotz vorübergehendem Verlust ihres Zeitgefühls und akutem Sauerstoffmangels keine ernsthaften geistigen Schäden davon. Diese bemerkenswerte Produktivität manifestiert sich derzeit in einer nicht abreißenden Veröffentlichungsreihe, die sich über die Labels Acker, SAT, Finger Tracks, Superfancy und POPNorama erstreckt. Die unverkrampft- heitere Art dieser Produktionen wurde von zahlreichen Auflegern als wertvolle Bereicherung ihrer Sets entdeckt.

Neben der kurzweiligen Eigenständigkeit ihrer Veröffentlichungen erfreut sich auch der ausgetüftelte Liveauftritt der beiden beständig wachsender Beliebtheit. So kommt es während ihres Sets auf der SOS U-Ground auf dem Gelände des Fusion Festivals im Oktober 2009 zu wahrer Masseneuphorie auf der Tanzfläche. Durch derartige Erlebnisse hochgradig motiviert, sind die Herren Schäufler & Zovsky zu Beginn des Jahres 2010 fleißig mit den Arbeiten am Debütalbum beschäftigt.

Whoever witnessed them playing live on stage, will not entertain doubts any more: These two boys really leased the groove! And they did so quite extensive: Within no time, Schäufler & Zovsky have convinced their technoid audience by a series of compelling releases on Acker, SAT, Finger Tracks and others.

An icy wind blows over the frozen surface of the lake in this dark night in January. Over there, at the shore, the houses of the tiny village Mirow are cuddling up to one another, warm lights shine from their small windows invitingly. But what’s that? Beside the roaring winter thunder, another sound becomes audible: Some kind of dull, rhythmic pounding… It originates from one of the cosy little houses of the village. The situation in here contrasts really exotically with the icy winter night outside: Wearing only t-shirts, two dudes are wriggling frantically in front of a groovebox, a laptop and some connected MIDI controllers. They obviously really enjoy working their gear in some kind of hyperactive rush. But it is not only their passionate efforts on the equipment which makes the two of them sweating heavily. Also that groovy sound itself, which is modulated again and again and piled up to peak after peak in this way, radiates very special, energetic warmth. In this night of the still young year 2003 Sandro Schäufler and Stefan Witzovsky decide to start a mutual live project.

But it takes 5 more years before the two guys from the North- East German state of Mecklenburg release their pushing, put-in-a-nutshell Tech House sounds finally to a crowd on a dance floor. After some promising first releases, they eventually succeed in breaking through to the producer avant-garde with their production “Everyday” that is released on Acker Records in 2009. They managed to do so due to countless sessions in their mutual studio. One time, they barricade themselves in front of their gear for full four days without any break, finish the track “Am Utkieck” as well as a sunbathed live set during this period and even remain more or less sane despite an acute lack of oxygen and losing all sense of time. This remarkable productivity of the two of them is represented currently in a constant series of releases on labels like Acker, SAT, Finger Tracks, Superfancy and POPNorama. Their relaxed and cheerful style has been realized as a valuable enrichment for sets by numerous DJs.

Beside the entertaining independency of their releases also their sophisticated live act is highly appreciated: True mass euphony evolved for example when they rocked the crowd during the SOS U-Ground party on the venue of famous Fusion Festival in October 2009. Inspired by great experiences like this, the gents Schäufler & Zovsky are industriously busy with their debut album in the beginning of 2010.

Deep Stories is a collective of DJ/producers, writers and photographers with a passion for storytelling in all possible ways. In their universe, sounds, words and images form a complementary unity, so that the audience can absorb all these different sensations at the same time. With this unprecedented vision in mind, DJ’s The Doubljuh and Kork founded the Deep Stories podcast series in 2016, which was enthusiastically received by a rapidly growing community. By amalgamating different lifestyle areas (literature, photography, music) many people quickly became enthused by this innovative project and within a year the Deep stories Soundcloud channel reached the mark of 10K followers before smashing the 20K milestone the following year. Driven by the enormous positive feedback, the team has expanded and founded its own music blog. This allows the audience to stay informed about new releases, events and upcoming gigs, in addition to weekly charts and tips for the weekend planning for electronic music lovers. The latest addition is the new booking feature, by which the artists of the Deep Stories crew can be booked for deep house and techno parties. Thus, the Deep Stories project consists of three components: the podcast series, the music blog and the booking area. Over the years the team has also grown and many partnerships have been sealed. Among other things, there is a close collaboration with other podcast channels, travel blogs and even street artists, fueling yet even more creative minds…

‘Just the Night’, that was the title of an interview with Cristian Varela by the British outlet 15 Questions. There are very good reasons, of course, the history of electronic and techno music holds a special place for this  pivotal ‘Madrileño’ artist who has played a crucial role in building the Spanish industry as we know it today. One where the new generations have entered too. 
	
Master and servant for the cause. Cristian Varela has a very busy schedule that takes him all over the world. For those who are patient, you should be able to catch this awarded artist in your home city or country. For those who need a more regular dose of his music selections, you can catch his weekly radio show at Bloop London Radio and all his shows that’s syndicated in Europe, USA, South America and Asia via more than 100 specialised techno stations in more than 50 countries.

Pioneering techno producer with his own weapons. Cristian Varela has run since 2003 one of his most esteemed projects: Black Codes Experiments imprint. As it could not be otherwise, the label forged itself a firm reputation as one of the most prestigious, forward-thinking brands on the international electronic music circuit. Futuristic, enthusiastic and with a constant target of forming a strong alliance by keeping people dancing in unity to the electronic sounds and beats.

Well as an entrenched and highly respected producer, or as an immensely reliable DJ (his 6-Six Vinyl shows are just stunning as unique and the best way to join wires between past-present-future), Cristian Varela continues bouncily his expansion.
