Der geborene Berliner Jan Ritter verfiel der elektronischen Musik schon in jungen Jahren, inspiriert von Künstlern wie Daft Punk, The Prodigy und der Technoszene der 90er Jahre kam Jan auch schon früh in Berührung mit Elektronischen Klängen. Schnell wurde ihm klar, dieses Interesse zu intensivieren und er fing an sich mit künstlich erzeugten Tönen zu beschäftigen. Hilfreich hierfür war auch sein Klavierunterricht mit dem er als er 11 Jahre war begann, und sich selbst motivierte das Klavier zu beherrschen. Fasziniert von all den Möglichkeiten, war klar, dass das mehr als nur ein Hobby werden sollte. Jan fing mit 21 Jahren an Musikproduktion und Audiodesign zu studieren. Mit großem Interesse verfolgte er seine Visionen. Erste Clubbesuche im Tresor, Maria oder MIKZ ebneten dann den Weg in die Technoszene, angesteckt von der Kultur, der Atmosphäre und dem Vibe Berlins nach der Jahrtausendwende. Das Zusammenspiel von der Melodie und des harten, treibendem Bass ist für ihn sehr wichtig. „Ich liebe es Leute mit meinen Sets und Tracks auf eine Reise mitzunehmen und sie zu berühren.“ sagt er selbst. Es gibt für ihn nichts schöneres als den Menschen etwas Besonderes mitzugeben, denn für ihn ist der Bass in der Musik die emotionale Erweiterungen der Melodie nach unten. Man spürt ihn unmittelbar am ganzen Körper. Gänsehautmomente. Jan produzierte bereits 3 Jahre erfolgreich Eigenkreationen für Film und Serienproduktionen als er sich dazu entschloss, seinen bisherigen Job an den Nagel zu hängen und sich voll auf sein ganz eigenes Projekt „Jan Ritter“ zu konzentrieren. Ein neuer Schritt in die Richtung seiner Passion. Seit 10 Jahren produziert er schon eigene Musik doch „Jan Ritter“ war sein erster richtige Schritt nach draußen an die Öffentlichkeit. Die Erfahrungen die er sich durch seine Arbeit als Filmmusik Komponist angeeignet hat findet sich auch in seiner Musik wieder. Dramaturgie, Spannungsbogen und Harmonie. Seine Tracks/Remixe sind immer sehr emotional und erzählen immer eine Geschichte, die er mit den Stücken verbindet. Oft entstehen seine Tracks nachdem er gewisse Dinge erlebt hat und die Musik hilft ihm diese Dinge zu verarbeiten oder die Emotionen darin festzuhalten. „Ich liebe es Tracks zu produzieren, die die Leute in eine andere Welt entführen, sie von ihrem Alltag fliehen lassen können [...], dabei ist es mir wichtig „Hörer-Tracks“ sowie einfach geile Tanzbare Bretter zu produzieren um das Publikum zuhause, als auch in den Clubs zu erreichen.“ so Jan selbst.

Italoboyz (Marco Donato and Federico Marton) arrived in London at the
beginning of the new millennium and have become an essential fixture in the
capital’s passionate electronic house/techno scene. From their notorious backto‐
back DJ sets in 2003 at FESH (333, London) they have exceeded their local
status and now play for the globe.
“When you realize without movement there can’t be change ‐ you move…”
explains Marco. So that’s exactly what they did. They left their homeland of Italy
for London to pursue a deeper connection to the electronic world. The different
views and emotion of electronic music that were interpreted and manufactured
by Marco Donato and Federico Marton created the fusion of two very talented
minds to form Italoboyz in 2002.
Since their start they haven’t stopped moving forward. They have obsessively
explored and created the hybrid sounds of house and techno inspired by their
love of minimalism, acid‐house, jazz, and hi‐tech funk. The Italoboyz musical
expression is a fusion of sounds, flavours, themes and ideas resulting from over
20 years of music research and experience from exploring the various genres
and sub‐genres that develop out of this constant evolving musical world.
After releasing their first debut album BLA BLA BLA in 2009, the Italoboyz are
one of the hottest and most wanted acts in the electronic underground music
scene. Their first live set presented in front of one and a half million people at
Loveparade in Dortmund in 2008 was one of the highlights of their advancing
career and created such a demand for the vibe that they bring to the people.
Italoboyz’ release on some of today’s most influential minimal‐house / techno
labels such as Moon Harbour, Get Physical, Trapez ltd., Mothership, Material,
Treibstoff, Einmaleins Musik, Gumption and Safari Electronique.
If the duo isn’t gallivanting around the globe and injecting the people with the
most organic sound, you can find Marco and Fede harboured in their studios
engineering the freshest and most cutting edge beats for your listening pleasure.
The energy, flair and production of this duo have captured the imagination and
hearts of their fans and always leave everyone wanting more. New projects are
always in the making from these two innovative minds.

AD7USTMENT

„What makes a real artist? Maybe it’s this ever-growing, undeniable passion for his work. Maybe it’s this eternal urge to become more, to learn new things and to expand. But for sure it’s this unique footprint, this unmistakable vibe that an artist is broadcasting.“

The footprint of AD7USTMENT, is built of these elements: Energy. Skills. Charisma. Groove. His history with music and techno is a long and exciting journey, starting back in 1988 and influenced by both his home in Germany and his mother’s sunkissed origin in Petín, Spain. Learning to play drums as a kid led to wild electronic nights during the Spanish summer, and after his first event with Ricardo Villalobos, his soul was forever lost in techno – and his electronic path became clear and wide open. 

This path of an evolving, unconditional love and understanding of techno and everything it is, led to amazing experiences along the way:  The last years can be called as the era of longterm collaboration that let AD7USTMENT dive deep into the technical knowledge behind producing techno music and definitely paved the streets for all that is coming up now.

But now is now, and now is a time of change and transformation. What in the meantime even happens on a global scale around this earth, came up inside of AD7USTMENT some months ago: The inner call to do something different, to go beyond what has been before and to reach for new musical ways to express himself, became stronger and stronger. As a result, his studio output moved on to a new level. Something that seems to come directly from his universal spirit and that definitely deserved a new, own name and platform: AD7USTMENT was born. 

The sound of AD7USTMENT is created with an intention to get your energetic juices flowing, awaken your rave DNA and let the floor freak out. Like philosophical teachings, each track has its own message and takes you on a journey with pumping drums, innovative percussions and sounds from outer space and inner worlds. Feelings of ecstacy alternate with moments of silence or surprising vocals. With an AD7USTMENT track, you can expect to go on a rollercoaster ride that may take your breath, if you let it in.

His passion for powerful, dynamic tracks with this unique groove and storytelling now convinced Label´s such as Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains, Odd Recordings, Nechto Records, Suara and many more to sign AD7USTMENT.

Well, this is gonna be frisky: Go-getting musical globetrotter Eule aka Eulenhaupt meets his DJ colleague Molle aka Mollenhauer, the cheerful dude from Mecklenburg with his special passion for groove. The result of this encounter clearly bears the hallmarks of the two of them and therefore is similar varied and entertaining like the gentlemen themselves. A rich bass makes the head nodding right from the beginning of Candyshock, driving offbeat chords reinforce this effect even more. The percussive composition signalizes a massive departure even before the break, the track finally takes off completely with some playful-euphoric wind instruments. Candydrop starts in a similar mood but this one leads into dubby depths with harmonic keyboard orchestration afterwards. On the B-side Candyshock is re-interpreted by Mollenhauer’s Alter Ego Mollono.Bass. He again adds a mighty portion thrust, dubby sounds and a dreamy oriental vocal hovers between the quotations from the original. Last but not least Eulenhaupt and Mollenhauer rearranged the song Candyshop from the bouncy jazz-folk-crossover combo Fatima Spar and deliver a song-styled composition with friendly accordion sounds and a superb smoky female vocal. As one can hear pretty distinct, not only the name of this title was an important source of inspiration for the available record. Music from Acker for the acre or the cosy freak-out in the club of trust!

DJ, producer and label head.

Marco Carola is a global ambassador of techno. From Napoli in the south of Italy, Marco was instrumental in the development of the electronic scene in the early 90s, he took the flourishing techno Napolitano scene to the rest of the world. Over twenty years later and Marco is still one of the most respected artists amongst the techno scene, widely regarded as one of the key factors in driving the genre towards worldwide recognition within electronic music.
 
As a revered producer and successful label head, Marco has spearheaded imprints such as Design Music, Zenit, Question, One Thousands and Do.Mi.No whilst releasing music on a selection of the words finest labels such as Minus, Plus 8 2M and Primate Recordings. In addition to five critically acclaimed albums, including his most recent Play It Loud, Marco has also been responsible for a clutch of seminal mix compilations. In 2006, his mix for legendary London club Fabric’s series was a lesson in sleek, future-facing minimalism. That was followed up by well received compilations for Time Warp in 2009. In 2010 Cocoon label boss Sven Väth asked him to mix the Frankfurt based label’s Party Animals CD alongside Nick Curly, which took Carola's dj taste and skills to new heights.
 
Famed for his energetic and impressive three-deck style of mixing and long journey set, Marco has remained one of the most in demand DJs on the planet throughout the last two decades. Favoring mammoth eight hour plus sets, Marco is predisposed to a subtle working of the crowd that has made him a favorite among fans from Ibiza to New York, South America and beyond.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.

Music Producer, Performer & Sound Designer.

Enrico Sangiuliano is a name you will have no doubt noted if you’ve dipped your toe in Techno waters. Standing as one of contemporary dance music’s most influential talents, the Emilia native’s impeccable back catalogue represents nothing but timeless No.1 records, and now only grows to hold more future classics. Aside from his chart-topping studio endeavours, the melodic pioneer’s lengthy resume of iconic performances have thrilled and inspired in equal measure, making him one of the most discernibly authentic and balanced artists on the circuit. 

Embarking on his newest exploration in the world of sound design, the production maestro recently announced the launch of his 10-chapter, transient record label NINETOZERO, along with its correlative SOLO all-night-long event series. A sonic storyteller with deep and meaningful narratives at the core of his many opuses, Enrico’s time-limited imprint serves as an intervention to the notion of perpetual music, opting for an ephemeral concept that challenges audiences to redefine their listening habits. His corresponding SOLO series gives new perspective and insight into his sound palette as a DJ, as he extends the NINETOZERO ethos into an immersive live experience that highlights the evanescent beauty of contemporary club culture.
