Anthony Rother is described as an influential visionary, an electro pioneer and one of electronic music’s most prolific producers. For more than two decades Rother aggregated a vast musical canon that reflects his unique career as a sound researcher exploring the aesthetics far beyond the boundaries of electro, techno and pop music.

Starting his recording career in the late ‘80s, the Offenbach-based producer established himself in Germany’s electronic music scene with his first two releases, "Sex With The Machines" (1997) and "Simulationszeitalter" (2000). In 1998, he founded his label Psi49Net, allowing him to keep his artistic independence and showcase his vision of electro music that cultivated a unique storytelling approach, guided by dystopian future visions on societal changes due to technological progress. The vocoder-driven vocals and the dark dystopian synth sound with machine-like beats have become Rother’s trademarks, even before he found international recognition as a science-fiction avant-gardist with the virtual electro-pop project "Little Computer People" (2001) and his 3rd solo LP "Hacker" (2002).

In 2004, Rother created the Datapunk imprint to evolve an immediate, more song-orientated language that used simple melodies and even autobiographic anecdotes collected on "Popkiller." Perceived as one of his most venturous endeavors, yet his sonic shift had a decisive effect on many artists' careers: The Hacker, Boys Noise and Terence Fixmer published on Datapunk in its early days. While some of the experimental ambient recordings for Pete Namlook’s infamous label Fax +49-69/450464 reflects Rother’s prolific output, he also worked and co-produced with several prominent artists such as from former Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos, Sven Väth and DJ Hell.

After its success, Datapunk turned into an enlarging business which devoured both time and creativity to make music. In 2013, Rother decided to let the project rest and took a break that he used to move his studio while only producing music for his HYBRID sets. Through his self- contemplative retreat, he eventually rediscovered the artistic instincts that brought him back to his roots; both in terms of his renewed independence as well as how he channels creativity as a producer. In late 2017, Rother resurfaced with an EP on Danny Daze’s Omnidisc and contributed the track "Technic Electric" to Fabric 96 mix by DVS1. Last year, Rother returned to his Psi49Net label with a new album "3L3C7RO COMMANDO" that transports a clear message: Anthony Rother not only lives in and through his pure electro music, he still has something to say – here and now. The past represents the future!

In April 2019, Rother will release two 12’’ on DVS1’s Mistress Recordings followed by another EP as well as a conceptual LP for Psi49Net in fall. Moreover, Rother will drop a 12-inch on Radio Slave’s Rekids offshoot Stranger In The Night.

Within the 10 years of his career in the music industry, DJ Kitsune has turned from a music lover to one the most influential djs in the german urban music scene.

After being named the new dj and co-host of the country’s biggest rap-mixshow “Dope Beats” on Frankfurt radio station XXL radio in 1999, he began producing his first mixtape trilogy “Forces of Nature” that helped spreading his name on a nationwide level. After XXLfolded by the end of 2003, he moved on to be the resident of the “Clubnight” on youfm until 2006, a mixshow format on national tv and the oldest and most legendary mixshow in Europe with viewers and listeners from all over the continent.
Being the official live-dj for Azad, DJ Kitsune released several award-winning mixtapes in less than 12 months, which immediately resulted in numerous requests to do live shows with most of the biggest german rap artists, making him one of the most requested djs of the country.
2006 turned out to be another milestone for DJ Kitsune, as he was named the first german dj to join DJ Whoo Kid’s (50 Cent / G Unit) Shadyville DJ coalition. Around the same time his mixtape with german rap star Curse hit the billboard charts in Germany and Switzerland and his own label released highly acclaimed mixtape-albums with Rasul, benefitting from europewide distribution through the SonyBMG powerhouse. DJ Kitsune also played club shows all over Europe in top-level venues like the “Kaufleuten” in Zurich, the “Splash!” Festival in Germany, the “50 Grad” in Mainz, the “Unity” in Frankfurt, or in hot spots like New York City or Tel Aviv.
Within a time span of only few weeks DJ Kitsune did shows for Eminem’s satellite radio station “Shade45″ and several other BDS monitored stations in markets like Cincinnatti or the Bay Area, released his newest mixtape “Victory 3″, was nominated for the award of the “Best International Mixtape DJ 2006″ at Justo’s Mixtape Awards and did a brief club tour through Germany with SonyBMG recording artists Curse. The beginning of 2007 was even better with Kitsune winning the award for “Best National DJ 2006” at the HipHop.de-Awards.
In 2008, DJ Kitsune took his award-winning mixtape series “Victory” to an all-concluding next level by putting together an all star cast album of the same title, combining some of the greatest talents of the USA, Germany, Switzerland and Canada. The album’s first single “This Little Thing (Remix)” featuring Talia “The Doll” Coles and D-Flame received heavy rotation airplay on german music video stations.
After holding down a legendary Saturday night at Frankfurt’s top club “Unity” for 5 straight years, DJ Kitsune moved on to focus on playing selected clubs all over Europe while showcasing his musical talents on his weekly radio show for Germany’s leading urban radio station Jam FM. In early 2010, DJ Kitsune became the first hip hop dj to be requested to play a special performance alongside one of Germany’s most renown classical orchestras, the hr-Sinfonieorchester for an audience of more than 3000 people.

Today, DJ Kitsune is one of Europe’s leading djs and musical tastemakers and CEO of his own management and publishing company. His influence and musical guidance helped the careers of many European artists and created a worldwide attention span. While one of Germany’s biggest daily newspapers “Sueddeutsche Zeitung” refers to DJ Kitsune as the “hardest working man in German hip hop”, he is considered to be one of the most skillfull, influential and well-rounded djs in Europe.

Xarah van Tara took to DJing in March 2011 and could immediately impress with talent, dedication and an incredibly versatile range in the field of electronic music. Again and again she manages to conjure up tracks from her deck which all match the typical Xarah van Tara sound that makes Xarah stand out. She currently owns the Frankfurt scene and is excited about her first "Frankfurt export" bookings.

Her still young career started in the “311”, the small smoking room of the “U60311” in Frankfurt am Main. Having been there once, she was again and again drawn back into these smoky rooms of exstatic, electronic sounds. But soon this was no longer enough and she started to study and master the different techniques. In hour-long sessions she practiced the use of technology, the use of transitions and audio effects.

Already then she proved her talent because after only 4 weeks she put her own mixed and unique set online, which received outstanding positive feedback. Another 4 weeks later Xarah then put her skills on an evening in the “311” to the test - together with eXi. The first party drew over several hours and was marked by the sound that is so characteristic for Xarah. Many other bookings have followed since.
After attending a lecture at the "Produzentenschmiede" a residency arose in the fabulous Frankfurt Club Monza and her first track was released on the new Eternal Basement LP "Zustandgeber" by Harthouse Records! A young star on the rise!
