VANDIT Records is an international, independent record label with its artists and their musical visions in the spotlight.

NO ART WITHOUT ARTISTS – this simple sounding manifest is basic principle at VANDIT. Established in Berlin in 1999, the label quickly captured attention not just within the capital city borders but worldwide. With a huge impact on the scene, it grew to one of the most important international labels with huge loyal fan base, label parties and own radio show.
In 2010, two of the most prestigious labels in dance music — Paul van Dyk’s legendary VANDIT imprint and Dutch record company Armada Music — announced a new joint venture. With a burgeoning release schedule for 2010 and 2011 already in place, the Berlin‐based VANDIT team will remain responsible for the label’s A&R and artist development as both entities prepare to take the imprint into the next decade.

ALEX M.O.R.P.H.: “Music is the Key. Melodies are the Path. 
Beats are Universal”.

Since the mid 90s Alex M.O.R.P.H has set out to shapeshift within the dance scene as per his alias, leaving no facet of trance unturned and showing the top of the tree is a position that he’s grown rather fond of. Even in a time where stats and streams, followers and figures are pushed to the front, the maths behind M.O.R.P.H’s staying power are frankly mind-boggling. ‘Not All Superheroes Wear Capes’ said the man on his 2016 album – but M.O.R.P.H. is deserving of honours fit for a king. “Passion, discipline, a lot of hard work, and most importantly the love for music”, ensure his crown never slips.

From collaborations with Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren (both of whom have always repped M.O.R.P.H. to the fullest), to remixes of Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery, Aly & Fila and Faithless, M.O.R.P.H. is the epitome of can’t stop-won’t stop, earning VIP entry to the globe’s most in-demand clubs and arenas as he continues with the energy and passion of his 1996 self when the Seelenlandschaften imprint came calling. It’s telling that M.O.R.P.H. being the first and only German DJ to play New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden, puts his touring and gig commitments in a different league considering his knocking-out-the-park performances at Cream Ibiza, Mayday, Ultra Music Festival and the ubiquitous A State of Trance spectaculars. Godskitchen, Ushuaia Ibiza, Space Miami, his own HeavensGate takeovers – all mega-scale spaces the German has commanded with ease and never taken for granted, delivering shows and sets living long in the memory while leaving you fiending for his next throb of beats. 

With M.O.R.P.H. still on a high-riding rollercoaster after all these years, cruising through ‘Sunset Boulevard’ while keeping the vibe at ‘Maximum Overdrive’, he has never lost sight of the true goal in life: “find your personal balance, keep things in line – and don’t risk your health!” A true exponent of knowing the scene never sits still, M.O.R.P.H.’s longevity and get-up-and-go overlaps into his handling of the Universal Nation label and podcast series: the man eats, sleeps and breathes music. Global lockdown may have forced a temporary timeout, but it only stirred creativity and tapped into other production processes, ready for when the world was good to go again.

Anyone with a keen ear for the High Contrast label over the last 18 months or so will have heard M.O.R.P.H. hiding in plain sight with a surefire supply of thrills and spills, adding to his reputation as a master of sounds under multiple names maintaining both melodic and attacking instincts. Again it’s all about balance and the right way of going about keeping things simple: “it’s just so important that all elements fit together well: that’s how you keep the atmosphere instead of just adding some big and loud synths in the break that rips the audience in two. It might work fine on the dancefloor, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not how I do things”. Always an in-demand remixer, if you’re given the keys to take on hall-of-famers such as ‘Madagascar’ by Art of Trance and ‘Carte Blanche’ by Veracocha, you know you’ve been doing something right. “One thing has never changed – a heart beating for music”.
 
Back to those statistics. M.O.R.P.H. is an all-time trance bestseller on Beatport and has twice entered the fabled DJ Mag Top 100 list. With a calculator-smashing amount of productions, remixes, compilation mixes and single of the year awards, M.O.R.P.H. has proved time and again his music is for the masses, with streams for favourites such as ‘An Angel’s Love’ and ‘The Reason’ racing into the millions upon millions. On top of being A State of Trance go-to guy and a Vandit Records MVP, he has released on major movers such as Ministry of Sound and Armada. And M.O.R.P.H. isn’t done yet. “I want to get trance back there where it belongs - to the main stages, to more people, sharing with them how gorgeous our music is, and how essential it is to experience it together”. With two new singles reflecting his worldwide adventures - ‘Calling Berlin’ and ‘Calling San Francisco’ – and another album in the pipeline, you believe Alex M.O.R.P.H. is still the man to make all these things happen.

For any DJ and bedroom producer, the ability to “hustle” is often the most underestimated, yet most important factor in determining whether they will fade out or successfully make their mark on the industry. Good hustle is the epitome of both the man and monumental career of international DJ, Roger Sanchez. From humble beginnings in New York City, diggin’ in dusty crates of old vinyl and spinning at house parties in Corona, Queens, to dominating huge dance floors and headlining festival main-stages in every corner of the globe, Roger is truly a self-made man and a house music legend.

The crafting of Roger Sanchez, the DJ, started in the late 80s, where as a young man he was enticed by the explosion of hip-hop that was taking over the city. Embracing the culture as a b-boy and graffiti artist, he would hit parties on the Bronx River and before long, his friends had him trying his hand on the wheels of steel. In a time and place where hip hop, house music, and “turntablism” all collided in a perfect storm of creativity, opportunity, and sick beats, Roger seized his moment and began to build his empire on vinyl and slip mats, starting with a few singles and expanding into a massive collection of over two thousand original productions and remixes.
Releasing music under a multitude of monikers, including the S-Man, Roger S., The Nu- Solution, Underground Solution, DV8, Ego Trip, El Mariachi, The Funkjunkeez, Tribal Infusion, Twilight, and Transatlantic Soul, just to name a few, Roger has been able to maintain the essence of his sound, his flavor, his “sabor”, if you will, while still using each alter ego as a tool to expand on various fresh and experimental sounds. Each one of his multiple music personas have allowed him the opportunity to defy the mainstream and travel out to the far reaches of the musical galaxy, collecting depth, wisdom, and perspective along the way and applying them to his future endeavors in innovative dance music sounds, allowing him to remain fluid and cutting edge across decades.

So many successful endeavors would have never been possible without a rock solid work ethic, something that Roger prides himself on. From the very beginning, he was a dedicated crate digger, searching for obscure samples and break beats in influential NYC record stores like Rock & Soul and Vinylmania. His infallible work ethic, paired with the strong foundation of art and culture that he gained from the Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture took control of the wheel as his passion for music expanded, driving him to start hustling mixtapes on the sidewalks of Broadway in order to finance his earliest gigs. With the encouragement of his father, an engineer, Roger abandoned his plans for a career in architecture and decided to devote all his efforts to his music.
