A globally respected and highly accomplished artist, label boss at the seminal Hot Creations, founder and curator of the worldwide Paradise event series and member of cross-genre band Hot Natured, Jamie Jones has achieved iconic status in the electronic music world. A trendsetter and seasoned tastemaker, the Welsh dance music superstar pioneered his own distinct sound, drawing on his deep knowledge and experience to cultivate DJ sets that weave through a range of diverse, complementary styles selected to energise and enchant the dance floor.

One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl's been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes.

Nic Fanciulli has become one of the most influential artists to come out of the international dance scene in several years. With so many projects constantly in the works, Fanciulli stands out as a truly multitalented worldwide artist, with this perhaps being the key to his longevity in an increasingly fast-paced industry.
 
Fanciulli’s kept up a big Ibiza presence over the years, becoming one of the most respected figures on the island. Following on from two successful years running ‘La Familia’ at infamous 5000 capacity outdoor venue Ushuaia alongside Joris Voorn, 2016 saw Nic embark on his first solo residency at the iconic Pacha. ‘We Are The Night’ saw the likes of Guy Gerber, Sasha, Bicep, Agoria, Matthew Dear and Tiga play at the club alongside Nic. Having conquered Ibiza, We Are The Night has also held parties in Croatia, Barcelona, Miami, New York and Mexico with many more to come. Aside from Nic’s own projects, he’s a regular of all the key parties on the island. He’s been a headline guest at ANTS - Ushuaia’s flagship underground party - since its inception, and also put in appearances at respected residencies Paradise, Guy Gerber’s RUMORS, Circo Loco at DC10 and INSANE at Pacha over the last year alone. Most notably, he played a major part in the last season of one of Ibiza’s best-loved clubs, Space; firstly, playing the closing of its longest-running party, Carl Cox’s Revolution, and then proceeding to make history playing the final set at the club’s last ever closing party, in an incendiary six hour back to back session with Carl himself.

As a producer, Nic has created a plethora of solo tracks that have received huge critical acclaim including a Grammy Nomination, in addition to unleashing a heady collection of memorable remixes, including his recent rework of Jamie xx’s ‘SeeSaw’. Nic is responsible for a high output of a sleek, intelligent yet driving strain of house and techno, and is famed for his compilation CDs, having completed mixes for Renaissance, Global Underground, Balance and Defected In the House as well as an incredible three Essential Mixes; he is now gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated debut album.

Nic’s genuine desire to share music with others led to him founding what’s gone on to be one of the UK’s biggest house and techno labels, Saved Records. An important purveyor of international, underground house and techno, Saved has become a global brand, renowned for cutting-edge releases and standout events around the globe. Responsible for helping to break the careers of a diverse mix of producers, Saved Records has established Nic as a key tastemaker.

It’s this continued desire to share his experiences that also led to Nic starting up his worldwide festival brand, The Social. Beginning life as a way of bringing world-class names to Maidestone, it’s grown not only from a one day event to a three day festival, but will now also be branching out to hold parties in Mexico and Columbia for 2017 and looks set to continue growing.
 
Nic’s journey to his current status has been an entirely organic one, born out of his genuine love for the scene and a desire to share this with others. His tireless work ethic has sees him continue to tour the globe relentlessly and expanding his many projects – 2021 is set to be yet another landmark year for the artist.

Maurizio Schmitz drives his own bus, dividing his diary effortlessly between work and
play and playing.
Half Italian, half German and his is a dizzying ongoing musical journey that flies economy
and business all at the same time. Maurizio exploits these contrasts, wearing pinstripes
or pyjamas or both - he jams.
We are talking about psychedelic house here. Socks off and sensual. It works on the big
stage, it works in the club and it washes all over an after hour. This sound did not happen
by accident.
In 1990 scrambling around some old Thorens decks in a club his mother worked in
Maurizio was scooping up all the vinyl lost from the night before – the first Schmitz
mixtapes (which actually were not mixed) saw the light of day at this time. Many were to
follow and these valuable suckers live amongst 11,000 pieces of vinyl collected and
stroked over the years.
When German techno was dynamite, changing the rules and ushering in a whole new
world of electronic music Maurizio was not only there – he was smack in the middle of it.
Bonn, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich. From the infamous “Labor” club to a 10 years
residency at 'FrequenzBerater' to Frankfurt and “U60311”. Many many more but maybe
two things stand out and tell you more. Spaldingstreet 43 in Hamburg, the original flat
sharing rave. Maurizio presided over 7 years of lovely madness. Today you could create
a major art/music festival just from the people who crashed out on the sofas there. Then
the tour de force. His very own Mauromusica night founded in Bonn 2004 in the beautiful
“Rheingarten”. An octagon shaped glass pavilion. Promoter, resident DJ and mum on the
door. Another 10 years.
No need to name names, somewhere in the above paragraph they all passed through.
Perhaps one name, because here comes the other Maurizio Schmitz.
In a 1994 after hour set in Munich, “Pulvertum” it was called, the raver Maurizio noticed
Sven Vath 2 metres high in a tree mid set. You don’t forget stuff like that.
Their paths were never going to stop crossing.
Event manager, promoter, booker and for some time now the right hand man and
frequent support act for the immortal legendary magician Sven Vath. It is a relationship
that is not stopping any time soon.
So, to summarise, Sicilan passion met German techno and spat out the Dj Maurizio Schmitz.
