Whether it’s behind the scenes or behind the decks, Marcus Meinhardt is definitely one of the most active members of the German club scene. The thirty-something Dj has defined the Berlin sound with his countless club gigs including his residency at the world renowned Watergate club. He is also a welcome guest on the international electronic parquet with his elegant, hypnotizing sets and sympathetic nature. He is a true character in the electronic music scene. Marcus is also a well known party organizer in and around Berlin; the Home Sweet Home parties have taken the cities best after hour locations by storm,. The famed Muna-Tent at the SonneMondSterne Festival would not be where it is today if it wasn’t for Markus’ co organization and closing sets.

He was born in the quiet county of Thüringen, where, once infected by the techno bug, he soon took up residency at the Muna, one of East Germany’s most renowned clubs. During this time he and the Muna team began organizing the SonneMondSterne-Festival, which, today is one of Europe’s largest and most famous Open Air’s.

Marcus finally moved to Berlin in 2002 where he took a head dive into the pulsating club scene that gave him enough room to experiment musically. This inspired him to begin producing his own tracks. His first EP was released in 2006 on Micro.Fon. In the beginning of 2007 Markus and his friends Marco Resmann and Hawks Grunert founded the label Upon You, which has managed to establish itself as one of the most important Tech-House-Labels in such short a time. His fine sense of Intuition for the dance floor can be detected when listening to his subtle arrangements and finely balanced sounds. Proof being »Drive It Mad Max«, »Pacey Lynn«, or »Jerry Lee« which are among the most successful Upon You releases to date. The Superflu Remix of Mad Max even made it on to Beatport’s »Best Underground Sellers 2009« list.

Marcus has learned a lot about the specialties of the music business through his work with Upon You. His commitment has made the label nights in Berlin’s Panorama Bar and arena club, Stuttgart’s Romy S and the international venues in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Milan as successful as they are. Marcus also helped to find new artists for the label Upon You. These days, Resmann and Grunert continue with the labelwork of Upon You while Meinhardt focus solely on his creative output.

In 2010 and 2011 he concentrated on his music production and travelled through the world presenting his musical ideas. On his journey Marcus was influenced and inspired by many musical genres and artists. As a result, Marcus decided to found his own Label called „Heinz-Music“ this forward thinking label will be a platform where his fellow artists and friends can have fun with and enjoy a musical experience mainly orientated on dance floor music.

Biographie
Throb Circle is the brainchild of two friends in the same musical vision, the belgian MGC and the french Mainro.

While both interested in spirituality, they choose "Circle" because everything in life operates in a circle, the universe operates in a circle, the sun rises and sets in a circle, everything tends to be round, Birds make their nests in circles, because their religion is the same. and "Throb" related to the drum, sacred instrument, This is the most simple and profound medicine of our Indian nations, beating the Sacred Heart of Mother Earth. Stable and simple drum beat of student awareness and positive feelings. The drum sets the foundation, the sacred space for meetings and gatherings. It strengthens the energy field around the physical body, filling us the life force.


Their first collaboration resulted in a remix of PEOPLE GET REAL (UK) and a remix of TIM PARIS (UK) on a French Label "FAMILY N.A.M.E RECORDS" 
Throb Circle want and hope to offer a sacred electronic music letting the max of their emotions and their energy.

Surfing beyond genres and pointless tiers, Belgian multifaced artist Igor Vicente has been playing records nonstop over his brilliant career by taking seriously just one thing: the music. 

Part of the acclaimed duo Ultrasone or as solo, Igor got his music released on prestigious labels like Visionquest, Mobilee, Get Physical, and Jamie Jones' legendary Hot Creations. In 2005, he started his WILDFAMILY parties at Decadance in Gent, which has become one of the strongest house music parties in Belgium and then began his residency and label STATE OF FLOW at the infamous Fuse club in 2013. Over the years, the parties have hosted names like Jamie Jones, Sammy Dee, Matt John, Perlon night, Dinky, Guy Gerber, Amelie Lens, Tobi Neumann, Clive Henry, Seth Troxler, and Shaun Reeves, among others. They are the ones who have also played his marvellous productions over the years, with legends like Marco Carola and Jamie himself still banging out Igor's timeless tracks. 

From glorious house anthems to steady techno outbursts, from stripped-back minimalist rhythms to funky disco jams, Igor just let the flow go, bringing together his mixing skills, eclectic selection, and unique charisma all over the world. All this led him playing at the some of biggest electronic meccas, including DC10 and Space Ibiza, Fuse Brussels, Output NYC, Fabric in London, Berlin's renowned Watergate and Italy's house & techno sanctuary Cocorico. 

The paths given by music are endless, and so is Igor's appetite for exquisite yet refined electronic beats, constantly evolving and looking for the perfect soundtrack for your musical journey.

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.
