A globally respected and highly accomplished artist, label boss at the seminal Hot Creations, founder and curator of the worldwide Paradise event series and member of cross-genre band Hot Natured, Jamie Jones has achieved iconic status in the electronic music world. A trendsetter and seasoned tastemaker, the Welsh dance music superstar pioneered his own distinct sound, drawing on his deep knowledge and experience to cultivate DJ sets that weave through a range of diverse, complementary styles selected to energise and enchant the dance floor.

Seth Troxler is one of electronic music’s most instantly recognisable artists. He has carved out his own unique path as a cultural commentator, art curator, restaurateur and entrepreneur. Descended from a family of cowboys and Baptist preachers, Seth is part African-American, with a singular approach to viewing the world through the prism of contemporary music culture.

Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and raised in suburban Detroit, Seth learnt the art of DJing initially from his stepfather (then a college radio DJ) and later from working, at only 16, behind the counter in legendary Detroit record store ‘Melodies & Memories’. It wasn’t until Seth made the decision to explore new horizons in the mid-2000s, moving to Berlin fresh out of his teens (after debuting at Panorama Bar at just 18 years old), that his DJ career really took off.

Since the move from Detroit to Berlin, then settling in London for a number of years, and now with his time divided between Ibiza and Berlin (Round 2), Seth has established himself as one of the world biggest DJs (voted the world’s number one DJ in scene bible Resident Advisor and gracing the front cover of Mixmag three times). He’s equally at home playing to the smoke-filled dance floors of some of the world’s most discerning nightclubs, such as CircoLoco, fabric (London), Nordstern (Basel), The Lux (Lisbon) or Blitz (Munich), as he is headlining the world’s largest festivals, like Glastonbury, Movement, Roskilde or Sonar.

Right from the word go, Seth has been as passionate about food and contemporary art as he is about music, and these two interests have resonated at all points, and in parallel, to his music career. A multi-faceted modern artist: he has held residencies at talismanic music institutions, run numerous record labels, and pursued his own solo recording career (including the recent ‘Play In The Dark’ collaboration with the Martinez Brothers on Crosstown Rebels, and ‘Lumartes’ that kick started CircoLoco Recordings in Summer 2021). Furthermore Seth has found the time to launch the successful Smokey Tails’ restaurant in London, to create and host his own party during the Rio Carnival, and then to stop everything and to take the time out to climb Kilimanjaro for charity.

More recently Seth has focussed his creative energies on his ‘Lost Souls of Saturn’ www.lostsoulsofsaturn.com project, alongside Phil Moffa and further opaque participants, that sits firmly at the intersection between futuristic electronica, contemporary art and technology. In 2019 Lost Souls Of Saturn presented their audio/visual installation Transmission at the Saatchi Gallery in London, after its premiere during Art Basel in Switzerland, and collaborated with the Met in New York and the Fondation Beyeler in Basel in 2021. Lost Souls Of Saturn are currently recording their second album and conducting further experiments in augmented reality and virtual reality, which will be revealed soon.

Extremely well travelled, constantly searching and experiencing, Seth Troxler continues to follow his own unique path.

Oliver Marcs has been in the mind-altering frequencies game knocking on nearly 2 decades now with genre bending skills based around chunky cosmic sounding house & disco, garage, even welding in breaks & dnb, a diverse selecter cutting his teeth playing some credible circuits and events located in Birmingham such as, Custard Factory and The Rainbow being his main haunt at nights like FACE, Sunday Club, 2:31 to name a few but it would be MUSATCHIO who picked him up for a resident spot that would see him set sail for the white isle but not before cementing himself as part of the NFS collective and bringing Pro Audio to Worcestershire.
Ibiza blessed him with some action-packed events and infamous venues such as Pike's Hotel holding residency for MUSTACHIO, Others such as We Love Sundays at Space rubbing shoulders with the likes of Felix Da Housecat, Mark Jenkyns, Andy Carrol, Julio Bashmore, Acid Mondays, VisionQuest just name a few. Always working closely in events and applying himself to the productions also, for Paradise DC10 and Elrow at Space, this would be the spark of interest to create his own brand.
Now based back in the UK, after a short break from twisting Knobs he's done exactly that,
“No Comply Audio” which create & curate events, bespoke stage construction and pro audio, for the most part; He quotes “being fuelled by restrictions placed on everyone globally and as a stand up for all artists and creators that suffered from unnecessary propaganda stamping out all hedonism and the hospitality industry in its wake, I vowed not to Comply but to push on”
Now with his own festival brand under his belt “PLEASURE DOME” and his studio work coming together he’s taking a firm stance in the booth once again.
