The first resident of Monasterio from Nizhny Novgorod and the founder father of Creptonit promo and label – OPTIMUSS – in the outgoing year has secured the title of one of the most integral and active artists of the Russian hardtechno scene. The producer's account includes two vinyl releases: a five-track EP and participation in a compilation for the Monasterio label, as well as an exclusive cassette release with Parapher.

In the OPTIMUSS creative laboratory, collaborations with international heavy metal experts are often born, and each project is a self-sufficient act of destruction and reinterpretation of sound. The artist breaks down dance floors on a point-by-point basis in Europe (performances in the Netherlands, Spain, Hungary, and Belarus) and in combination in South America (tours in Colombia and Chile) with performances of complete reset.

In the near future, the Nizhny Novgorod artist plans to release an EP for Larisa Trax and a debut full-length album that will showcase the darker aspects of heavy techno, including fast paced rhythms, raw energy, and oppressive atmospheric density.

------------------------------
Giacomo Stallone is half italian half spanish and no, he’s not Sylvester’s Stallone son but in fact he’s a distant relative who chose not to make action movies but to give action to the dance floor. He was born in Freiburg (Germany) but it is more Andalusian than gazpacho because he has been living in Granada since 1996.
 
His interest in electronic music began since he was a kid, but it was until 1999 that he decided to take the plunge into the professional circuit, always having Techno in its most hard groove version as standard-bearer, which today is still his hallmark. His influences go from Kool & The Gang going through Warren G to The Prodigy or The Chemical Brothers; this makes having open vision when it comes the time to execute his sets. It didn’t take long for him to stand out on the spanish scene at the beginning of 2005, going through several of the most emblematic clubs such as: Florida 135 (where in fact he was headliner in one of the performances), Code World Tour, Industrial Copera, Basik, Escada, Amadis and many more.
 
In 2002 he began his career as producer, releasing on several record labels. But it is in 2010, with his track “Back to 2002” for the legendary label Kazoo Records (released on vinyl), when Giacomo's career takes a turn and puts him in the spotlight of the big techno labels on the planet such as: “Alchemy” (Mauro Picotto’s legendary label), “Patterns”, “Bitten” “Emphatic Records”, “Special Series” or “Backspin Recordings” among many others, becoming a benchmark of sound not only in Spain but outside of our borders. Giacomo had conquered the planet!
 
Today, Giacomo continues with his rebellious spirit, outside of fashions and getting back to make quality techno, true techno; the one which produces goosebumps and makes you sweat on the dancefloor, the one that is heard in the authentic clubs and doesn’t age over the years. His new label “Make Techno Great Again” is where he reflects this philosophy recovering new music from artists that are from the “old school” , and on the other hand he revived his old label Undershape Records which he founded in 2008.
