Chico Rose is looking towards the next episode in his already prosperous music career. He does so by launching his own music label called ‘Story Starters’ and releases an absolute Tech House smasher to go with it. 

The first track ‘TIKI TIKI’ ‘Story Starters’ is inspired by the fact that Chico wants to express what he feels in the moment through music. 100% unrestrained musical freedom for himself, putting music out for his fans regardless of the opinion of others. He also believes that everybody has a story to tell. 

This story is eventually expressed through music. Giving producers in the scene a chance to start their own story on Chico’s new imprint ‘Story Starters’. Aiming to be a platform for talented artists from around the world to showcase their creativity to the best of their abilities. Chico Rose is an expert of his craft and a Tech House master to the bone. ‘TIKI TIKI’ shows his skills once again. Not missing a beat alongside the surprisingly catchy vocals. Perfecting his ingenuity and art has gotten him a long way. Working together with some of the greats in the game and releasing on the biggest platforms that the world has to offer. 

Chico is all set up to take this next step completely by himself.

Love what you do and do what you love - behind this well-known motto we see The Advocate (Maksym). 
The first release of The Advocate with the single 'Never Enough' which came out in October 2019 was more than successful and reached #1 position in Beatport Melodic House & Techno Hype being a chart leader for several months.

At the end of 2020 The Advocate exploded with the hit “Ekata” from his first Afro house experience with Wired label (EP “Ekata”). Both the original and the remix from Lunar Plane remained in Beatport and Spotify top selections for several months in a raw! "Ekata" (original & remix) already has over of almost 1,3Mio streams on Spotify and over 2,7Mio in all the music platforms.

As one of the most heavily supported and best-sold techno producers of the moment, notorious for his powerful live performances at renowned festivals and clubs, Reinier Zonneveld is currently taking over the contemporary scene with his unique view on techno. In spite of his young age, Zonneveld already managed to score several charting hits, including Beatport overall no.1 “Things We Might Have Said”, which was included on his well-received artist album “Megacity Servant” and later on landed in a Hollywood production. 
Born in the Netherlands on the 30 January 1991, Zonneveld’s introduction to music was through classical piano lessons from the tender age of three. In his youth, Reinier started to compose classical music pieces and performed piano concerts by himself. But it was only when he started his university studies in econometrics and finance and after attending his first illegal raves, that Reinier Zonneveld began exploring music production by way of electronic means. Spending all of his student’s allowance on his first synthesizers during his university time, Zonneveld managed to teach himself his outstanding production skills in his student dorm. 
At the end of 2015, after he completed his two master’s degrees, Zonneveld decided to dedicate all of his time and effort to his ever-growing passion: producing and performing techno music. Soon after, his tracks got picked up by some of the biggest names in the scene, followed by releases on Oliver Koletzki’s Stil vor Talent, Carl Cox’s Intec, Richie Hawtin’s Minus and two official remixes for Moby. 
With his productions and live-sets influenced by both, Zonneveld’s classical background and his own rave experiences, it’s no surprise that his sound contains an incredible breadth, ranging from deep melodic tracks to pounding warehouse acid techno. 
Zonneveld’s musical talent truly shines through in his live performances as he manages to craft hits, both old and new, live on stage. This extraordinary talent enables Reinier to perform a unique all-night live-set on the spot, while creating explosive moments on the dance floor. 
Only just starting his career, Zonneveld has already performed on all continents, from main stages to underground clubs, leaving a thrilled crowd on each dance-floor. If not on the road, Zonneveld tries to find time in his fully-booked tour schedule to create tracks and further hone his skills in the studio, with the experiences and influences gained from his performances and travels as a constant source of inspiration. 

Next to performing and producing music, Reinier runs his own well-received label Filth on Acid, which was founded in early 2017. Filth on Acid will fully enable Zonneveld’s creativity and serves as a platform for his wide view on techno music. All being said, it’s apparent that Reinier Zonneveld will further influence today’s global techno scene with his unique productions and dance floor-shaking live-sets for years to come. It’s just the beginning...

For Rune Reilly Kölsch, Kompakt has become a great label to call home. In 2013 the German imprint celebrated 20 years of record releases at the cutting edge of electronic music, championed in June by one of the most genre re-defining albums and personal music projects for an era: Kölsch’s landmark long player, ‘1977’.

A melodic autobiography on black wax, the Kölsch project has seen 36/37-year-old Rune take stock of a diverse and successful production career and draw upon his own personal beginnings: a nostalgia for childhood, family, friends and the confusion of applying his split-cultural heritage to what it means to think of ‘home’. As Rune freely admits, “being half Irish, half German and living in Denmark – it was all one big messy period of my life.” 

Born to hippie parents in the freetown of Christiania (a commune-like autonomous borough of the Danish capital Copenhagen) his childhood was spent surrounded by creativity. His mother was an artist whose family had roots in German politics and his father a singer songwriter who travelled through Asia playing music in the early 70's. Kölsch, however, did miss out on building friendships and found solace in making up “this imaginary world that I would spend days in,” before the family moved to Germany – a period of memories, relations and characters from which ‘1977’ derives its titles.

For Rune, the tracks he began building from 2010 took in this personal reflection, his being “completely locked in to reminiscing about what shaped me as a kid and into the individual that I am now” – contemplating his unique past to form the brickwork of ‘1977’, one of the most future-facing techno albums of recent years.

Influenced by hip hop, pop and the incredible legacy of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, Rune started producing in 1995, embarking on a string of success stories. In 2003 he released the multi-million selling, saxophone-infused ‘Calabria’, that saw collaboration requests pouring in from artists as diverse as Nicki Minaj, Shakira and Flo Rida. He then set up Tattoorecs – releasing pioneering underground tracks with no titles, just tattoos for artwork, that garnered critical acclaim and support from minimal and techno trailblazers such as Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Magda, Tiefschwarz and Ricardo Villalobos.

This appreciation of the complete musical spectrum has gifted Rune with a devotion to groove and melodics and with it the dexterity to input real creative change to the genres he reveres, not least his beloved techno. “2010 was the year of the ketamine house wave, where the music was 118 bpm and everything was extremely boring”, reflects Rune. “I wanted some melodic techno, some energy back in this scene. People needed the energy to express themselves and go crazy for a bit.”

This notion faced opposition, even from within Rune’s close circles. But it was Kompakt founder Michael Mayer who had the insight to see what Kölsch was trying to achieve. Rune’s conviction that vibrations and melodics are the key to human response had tipped the balance, underlined by his experience as a hip hop DJ where he “needed something to catch me and drag me in. And that’s what techno should do!” Here too he drew on his love of Jeff Mills and Derrick May, recalling how “they used to make mistakes all the time. It would be a big mash of all kinds of stuff, but at least something was happening. That’s what I was missing and that’s what I’m trying to change with the Kölsch project.”

The result is ‘1977’, a personal collection of dancefloor destroyers that are continuing to send clubs and festivals across the globe into melodic supernova. Take this video of Kölsch’s set at Belgium’s I Love Techno festival, one of Rune’s 2013 highlights, where “people were doing sit downs, singing along to all the tracks”. Watch it. It puts the hairs up on the back of your neck. “The response was overwhelming,” said Rune in a recent interview with Mixmag (who named Kölsch as one of their ‘Stars Of 2013’), as “when you think about it, it was just a bunch of childhood memories with a kickdrum underneath.” 

Elsewhere he’s ripped up the airways with an acclaimed Essential Mix for Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, delivered his incendiary soundscape to Singapore’s world-renowned ZoukOut Festival, boomed his live show through the heaving basement of London’s XOYO and played the hallowed Space Terrace – in his words “a boyhood dream since I started going to Ibiza in 1999. That was what I wanted from life!” So opening Amnesia in 2014 with Joris Voorn will be a bonus then...

While these are reasons enough to keep the beaming smile beneath Kölsch’s trademark black fedora, his humility remains just as striking. While tracks like ‘Goldfisch’ have taken pivotal positions in the set lists of world class DJs from across the dance music spectrum – traversing the underground with Seth Troxler, while simultaneously providing credible new euphoric highs for the likes of Axwell – Rune remains joyously down to earth. All despite producing, with ‘1977’, an album that has crossed as many cultural and musical boundaries as his own childhood past.

From the face-twisting melodic drive of ‘Opa’ and ‘Bappedekkel’, to the chord-surfing piano groove of ‘Der Alte’ and the euphoric crescendos of ‘Lorely’, ‘Oma’ and ‘All That Matters’ (all hits in different countries), the fact remains that whether in your living room, on the dancefloors of the world’s greatest parties, or simply in your headphones on your way home, Kölsch’s ‘1977’ has re-defined techno and become an achievement that speaks for itself.
