Koris is an artist of trajectory. Trajectory of sets, which the DJ and producer of Swiss origin knows how to put together like sensitive trips, on the outer borders of contemporary electronic trends. An artist’s trajectory too, as Koris is coming back front stage after exploring other creative fields – contemporary dance, urban happening and event layouts.

Coming back to music as well as returning to being himself. A major figure of the international scene since the early 2000s, he is now letting personal inclinations blossom more than ever in terms of deep house, techno and IDM. The eclecticism of his selections envelops the body as much as the mind: in the connections which link one track to another, emerges an organic space, an invitation to poetry and escape.

Starting point: an adolescence of synthesizers, turntables and samplers, tucked away in the basement of the family home, Koris tried out his ear and technique. He was soon invited to the biggest festivals: Mayday, Energy, Street Parade. A set in San Francisco in front of thousands of people in a disused warehouse, launched a career spanning Europe, the United States, Russia and Japan.

With a commitment to making the pulse serve emotion, Koris favors human dimensions of music, powered at the heart of machines as much as in terms of the imagination.

At a time when a new generation of labels and listeners is allowing a culture, which has long been confined to the night, be brought into the light, Koris wants to defend a techno which is one of sharing. "Today, styles and audiences are combining in new ways. I want to go towards this spontaneity."

An innovative, flexible techno is the trajectory which is already shining its first golden light of tomorrow. 

I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

Growing up in Texas and the Caribbean, Brian Brewster became associated with music
at a young age. Starting out as a reggae, dancehall, and hip hop singer, it wasn’t until
2005 when he moved to Paris that he would become connected with electronic music.
After meeting dOP in the French capital he began to spend a lot of time with the trio in
the studio and in 2010 Aquarius Heaven was born. The sound particularly interested
Brian because there were fewer limitations in electronic music and it gave him room to
experiment. He was able to push the boundaries of sound to create something outside of
the box of the typical house and techno machine. Never forgetting about his roots in
music you can still hear the colors of the Caribbean in his vocals.
After relocating to Berlin his first track “Before U Go” was released on the Watergate 06
compilation mixed by dOP. Shortly after that his debut full length EP was release on
Circus Company titled 7 days. The follow up to 7 days on Wolf + Lamb even further
catapulted him into the spotlight with a dark and sexy music video that created a lot of
buzz in the music-blog world before the EP was even released. Since his quick rise in the
ranks of the world of electronic music Aquarius Heaven has collaborated with some of the
best in the industry including Miss Kittin, Ryan Crosson, Art Department, Mathias Kaden
and many more. He continues to build a strong body of work on some of the most well
known and respect labels such as Circus Company, Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, and
No. 19 Music.
Shining brightly as one of the stand out vocalists and performers in the scene Aquarius
Heaven has traveled the globe and back performing at some of the biggest clubs and
festivals such as Panorama Bar, Rex, Space, Watergate, and Zur wilden Renate to name
a few. Always in the studio pushing himself to the absolute limit he continues to push out
a high volume of quality work with two upcoming EPs in the new year one on his home
label Circus Company and another on Rhythm Cult. Showing no signs of slowing down
you can expect to continue to see Aquarius Heaven at the top of his game as a staple of
the electronic music world.
