⚒ HAMMER ⚒

-	Shell-shocked by a compilation of Chicago House that his elder brother gave him, music pupil Roman from Darmstadt became interested in electronic music.
-	Visits to Sven Väth’s Omen in Frankfurt and nights spent with Underground Resistance or Warp turned his whole world upside down. LFO’s bass still massages his stomach region to this very day.
-	The first demo tape is given to Jörn Elling Wuttke, who is thrilled and leaves his others bands to join forces in a project with Roman.
-	Together they pay a visit to Ata and Heiko MSO. The latter work as DJs and sellers in Frankfurt’s Delirium and can hardly believe their ears. They are delighted to set their A&amp;R activities (Ongaku, Klang) in motion.
-	For Holy Garage “Surprise”, which also appeared on Eye Q, they found the Playhouse label, later to become the flagship of the label triumvirate and one of the most influential labels in Germany.
-	Time flies in the nineties with working on the label and the success of the projects Alter Ego and Sensorama. Roman also does solo projects under the name Soylent Green, Eight Miles High, Ro 70, Roman IV and his real name. The spectrum ranges from nosebleed techno to delicate ambient and electro-pop tunes.
-	Sven Väth asks Alter Ego to be his producer.
-	Remixes for Daft Punk, Radio Slave, Primal Scream, Ricardo Villalobos, The Human League, Spektrum, Tiefschwarz, Baby Ford, Chicks On Speed, and many others.
-	Alter Ego beats all the records with “Rocker” and Roman provides a worthy successor with “Geht’s Noch!?”.
-	Live appearances all over the world and Roman becomes increasingly popular as a DJ. His sets comprise 20 years of rave in one breath of techno, house, Italo-disco and obscurities. It goes by the name of acid house.

Satoshi Tomiie has been a pioneering and driving force within the global electronic music community since the early days of house music. Now, decades after his ‘Tears’ alongside Frankie Knuckles, the Japanese born, New York and based DJ, producer, remixer and label boss is still regular feature in the sets of many of today’s underground elite.
A student of jazz and classical piano, Satoshi is musically adept and accomplished producer who constantly evolved how he works. Experimenting with a new hybrid Modular DJ setup which sees him effortlessly fuse live analogue modular synthesis and with traditional DJ sets. Regularly playing clubs such as DC10, Rex and from South America to Tokyo while releasing music on labels such as YoY, Yoyakuza, Kaoz Theory, No19, MFR, Holic, and his own Abstract Architecture. Satoshi is as relevant as ever and continues to make waves throughout the electronic music community as only he knows how.

Cozee acquired his first set of KAM belt drive decks and mixer for his 13th birthday. His first gig a year later at the U18's local disco was momentarily interrupted by a fight, but it didn't take long for them to come flocking back to the happy hardcore beats of Charlie Lownoise & Mental Theo. There was no turning back ;)

Since those first steps Cozee has enjoyed some great fun filled years of running club nights and DJ'ing mainly in and around the Glasgow area.

First up was The Loftsessions @ The West End Tavern in Duntocher with DJ partner Ian Fitzpatrick. Running from 1998 - 2000, the pair transformed the upstairs function lounge for one Friday night each month into Duntocher's version of the Bit Beat Boutique. The night played host to guests such as Glasgow's legendary Billy Woods and Stuart Welsh who was to play a big part in the duo's next venture. The nights culminated in the Loch Sessions. A boat party on Loch Lomond which for those lucky 120 punters who were there will remain a night to remember.

The next project saw the creation of Glasgow House Theory where Ian and Cozee joined forces with Stuart. The 3 years from 2000 - 2003 saw the night move from its humble beginnings at the Renfrew Ferry to the Q Club before ending life at the notorious after hours lock-up The Unit. This period also seen the House Theory sound taken to a host of venues across the city and onto a regular Friday night slot on Subcity radio station. Sadly real life caught up with the trio and GHT held its last night in the winter of 2003.

Over the last 20 years Cozee has channeled his musical energies into putting together DJ mixes designed for the after party. Until recently he has only opted to play a live set on very few occasions such as the now defunct Bbr Music. However his recent move to Japan has brought him into contact with the like-minded Tony Inkwell Conte who manages the popular Bar Hug in Yokohama prompting the start of the monthly "Cozee Saturday's".

These nights are aimed at providing Yokohama’s Night Owls with the opportunity to listen to some of Cozee’s favourite Electronic music in one of the City’s most intimate, friendliest and coolest venues.
