Artist Bio:
Trulz Kvam and Robin Crafoord share an intuitive bond when it comes to music, one that was initially informed through similar tastes, and eventually nurtured through the existence of Trulz & Robin. The Scandinavian producers and DJs found a common ground in taste when Robin in 1996 met Trulz in the Music Maestro record store in Oslo. An immediate bond formed over a shared love of House and Techno, which eventually led to the formation of a DJ duo and a series of parties in Oslo. Robin remembers the scene not being "as mainstream as it is today", but "very alive, and the few clubs that were there were super cool, underground places." Its here amongst other local dj's like Olle Abstract, Pål Strangefruit, G-Ha and Prins Thomas that Trulz & Robin would be established amongst the underground elite in Oslo. With Robin making the move from Sweden to Norway at the time, the two found a shared studio space where they integrated their equipment with other musicians, and it didn't take long before the duo carved out a unique production alias with a yet unheard sound echoing from their basement studio. In a city dominated by House, Trulz and Robin forged a distinct path as alternative tastemakers through a hybrid of Techno, House and Acid, anything that piqued their interest, and in 2001 they released their debut album Mechanized World. Regarded today as a Norwegian techno classic. The duo continued on with albums and ep's on labels like Electronic Be and Planet Noise, and had small underground hits with tracks like "Acid Cake" and "She's Dancing" cementing the sound we've come to know as Trulz & Robin. An analog, groovy, sexy and minimal mix of house and techno, often using vocal features or samples. Trulz & Robin also became known for their brilliant live shows. It saw them opening up for the likes of Peaches and playing for packed audiences at home and abroad, including mainstream festivals like Roskilde and Exit. In 2007 Trulz had to take some time off to have a family and Robin moved to Spain for a moment, and a temporary hiatus followed. Their presence was sorely missed in Oslo, but the duo were always destined to return and when they did in 2013, it came with a new determination and a whole bunch of unreleased material absolutely bursting to make its way out into the world. Releases followed on Full-Pupp and Eskimo almost immediately after their break, while they also set up their own label, Cymasonic with long time friend and occasional production partner Arildo Lopez. Their EPs "Agent Acid" and "Balder" marked one of the many highlights of this new. Today Trulz & Robin have restarted the label Snick Snack Music with their longtime friends Ost & Kjex as a new home to their music.

Artist Bio:
Born in Kiev, Ukraine, her early childhood included reluctantly learning the piano, her mother is a pianist, while trying to convince her parents to let her play guitar. Her exposure to Western music was limited, living in a communist country where censorship was common practice. Her family eventually immigrated to Chicago as Jewish refugees in the late 80s as the USSR crumbled. This was her first experience of pop music and she fell head over heals for the chart sounds of Madonna and Janet Jackson. Then came house music from local radio shows where you could frequently hear tracks by Chicago legends like Cajmere and DJ Funk, and shows like Sonic Boom helped expose underground music to the masses. By the late 90s, music had taken over her life. Teenage Alinka immersed herself in the dance music scene spending her summer pulling double shifts at a local pool and moonlighting for rave promoters to build up enough cash to buy decks. After a year of skipping class to relentlessly practice her mixing skills, she began her full time musical pursuit. Working for various club promoters, doing odd jobs passing out flyers and helping with party logistics - anything just to get into clubs underage to see her favourite DJs - all while spending hours digging for tracks at Chicago’s legendary record shop Gramaphone. In 2001 Justin Long recruited her to be the opening resident for his .Dotbleep party at Smartbar where she honed her skills for the best part of a decade. In 2012, an impromptu meeting with former Hercules and Love Affair vocalist, Shaun J. Wright, changed her life forever. Their evolving friendship resulted in what would be the first of many musical collaborations. The pair launched their Twirl parties and label, continually strived to inspire each other both musically and spiritually, the result has been an impressive catalogue of material for both of them collaboratively and individually on the likes of The Classic Music Company, Jackathon Jams, Crosstown Rebels, Leftroom, and of course Twirl, where as well as their own material the duo have welcomed renowned artists like Spencer Parker, Virginia, LA-4A, Kim Ann Foxman, and Jason Kendig onto the label. The past two years Alinka really hit her stride as a producer with successful releases on world renown labels like Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, Need Want, Permanent Vacation, Harry Romero’s Bambossa Records, and her newly launched second imprint Fantasy Life. She also turned out a standout collection of remixes for labels Me Me Me, Pomme Fritte, Lone Romantic, Keinemusik, and Get Physical. Now living in Berlin, Alinka has well and truly found her feet and her inspiration. Alinka has used this base to throw down at parties across Europe from Panorama Bar to Circoloco, with regular visits back to the US to play for standout parties for promoters like Ladyfag and she regularly returned to the Ukraine where a new generation at ∄ are bringing electronic music to Kyiv. Her evolution continues with 2022 promising a packed schedule of releases, new dancefloors to enchant and new material on Twirl and Fantasy Life landing soon.

Artist Info:
Makèz is no stranger to challenging the status quo of what house music can be. The duo is known for contemporarily remixing the ingredients of classic house into future proof compositions. In an old house flanking one of the canals of Amsterdam is a cozy home studio, with enough floor space for a couple of chairs and a side table. Stretched around the walls are computers, cables, synths, drum machines and vinyl records. It’s in this attic that Makèz, the duo of Kees van ’t Klooster and Jan-Willem Mulder, convene to explore the world of electronic music. The form of art that ties them to one another, as well as the world around them. The two met in high-school and instinctively connected. They spoke the same languages of classic disco records, jazz- and hip hop albums and soulful house singles. So, they found themselves crate-digging and swapping 12-inches constantly. It was only a matter of time before they wound up jamming together. It was then, that they learned their modes of self-expression are preternaturally harmonious. Kees finds his voice in sound design and has a keen feel for programming and arranging. Jan-Willem on the other hand, expresses himself through keyboard melodies, warm chords and wobbly basslines. They started recording their ideas on tape, and became music technology graduates. While exploring the versatility of the electronic music scene, Makèz demos drew the attention of hometown heroes Dam Swindle and landed on their label Heist in 2019. Their first EP ‘Different Planets’ gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler, Danny Krivit and Chez Damier. Not much later, a pair of club orientated EP’s on NYC’s Let’s Play House Records appeared. The blueprint of a Makèz piece is distinct and obvious, even if the words for it are elusive and shifting. Everything they produce is deeply soulful, informed by R&B, future jazz and deep house. The duo took time to further innovate their sound with insights they gained from their DJ gigs. Furthermore, their energetic and interactive style of playing records, plus their complementary studio flow, organically led to their first live-set. Their debut album, a Heist production, is called ‘City of All’. Join the two for a vibrant voyage, fusing the sounds of places that shaped their musical vision. Borderless in a way this modern world often seems to be afraid of. As they say, love will save the day, and Makèz is here to dance with you along that joyful journey.

Artist Info:
After 10 years learning classical and jazz piano Elisa Elisa fell in love with the French electronic music scene in her hometown Lyon. And the urge to absorb the Berlin vibes became unbearable! In 2012, she landed in one of Berlin´s most legendary clubs, Watergate to write her master thesis about House Music. Since then she has been playing worldwide spreading her love and passion for music. "For me, party and music are about the community, sharing and cherishing the moment." Coming herself from the dance floor, she sees those moments as powerful as meditation. In 2020, she released her first EP Drum Love on Heat Up which madly reached number #1 on Beatport Deep House! The Franco-Algerian producer pays legacy to her North African roots infused with her protestant gospel ancestry. As she says herself, "I am a mix"! And this is how she transcribed the fusion of her origins by creating her own identity through her music. The amazing producer Homero Espinosa also asked her to remix a bomb track feat Bear Who?. In 2021, Elisa Elisa made her debut on Cacao Records with an artist she has been admiring for years, Emmanuel Jal! Through the track „Amazigh“ meaning Berber, the producer reconnects with her ancestors, while fusing spirits in the present with the voice of Emmanuel Jal and her own. Followed up with releases on Bambossa Records, Nite Grooves, Sous by the amazing Anja Schneider and He.She.They. And bomb remixes from Demuir and Enoo Napa! Elisa Elisa played worldwide at clubs and festivals such as Panorama Bar, Club Chinois, Papaya Playa Project, Fusion, La Bellevilloise, Night Tales, Antik, Harry Klein, Armando Records, Feel, Woodstower… Elisa Elisa got also published in the very first book dedicated to women in House Music: The Lady of the House!
