Vera Heindel is a gifted selector with flawless technique. Playing records in the way she does takes skill, yet the casual observer might not realise just how much. Technical proficiency is vital but only part of the picture. Her style requires a deep connection with her records, one that lets her join the dots throughout hours of music to create a fluid, mesmerising journey for the dance floor. With Heindel on the decks, you might hear shuffling minimal mixed into acid house, or electro into dub techno, bridged by subtle, speedy transitions that never sound rushed or disjointed. You may not realise a new (and very different-sounding) track is playing until long after the old one has been mixed out. It's an ego-free method that puts music above showmanship.

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.

[Michigander / Craigie Knowes / Upstairs Asylum]
Meet Brian Kage: an audio architect of the Detroit’s ongoing renaissance.  Kage’s career has been a love letter to authentic Detroit Techno, earning him a spot on DJ Magazine’s “10 Detroit Producers Keeping the Sound of the Motor City Alive.” His music spans top-tier labels like Michigander, Freerange, Craigie Knowes, Upstairs Asylum, Rekids, FXHE, Planet-E, Beretta Music and more, making him an in-demand name in the techno and house world. 

Kage’s debut album, Timeless Times, is exactly what it promises—a time-traveling journey through Detroit’s underground, blending classic house grooves with a fresh techno edge. This 19-track ride has received praise from Resident Advisor, BanTanTan, Blues & Soul UK, and others.

Kage isn’t just a solo act; he’s also part of Reference with Detroit’s Luke Hess, Airport Society with Beretta Music’s Ryan Sadorus, and Escape Driver, a synth-wave collaboration with Jon-Paul Bakaric. And yes, Kage even produces for none other than the Insane Clown Posse as Kuma. Whoop whoop! When he’s not crafting his own beats, Kage is at KageMastering, mixing and mastering music for both local legends and international stars.

Through his beats, projects, and mentorship, Brian Kage stands as a cornerstone of Detroit’s evolving soundscape,—rooted in its storied past yet propelling it toward a dynamic future.

Laut & Luise is a Music Lovers Club from Berlin && Cologne

Laut & Luise releases carefully selected music on vinyl, individually touched and underlined by a special and characteristic artwork in order to give back at least some love.

Luise herself provides dance music, calm and dubby, still with a definite focus on house and techno.

Aside from the main label, our younger imprint Luettje Luise is meant to be a playground for sounds beyond genres and borders, trying to stay open-minded like daddy Ernst Jandl was.

What is the opposite of little? Lost. A new little sub by Laut & Luise, limited to nothing but a digital playback device and labeled with a mouse crafted artwork. Lost in Luise, for the digital natives and the internet explorers.
