What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid is undoubtedly one of his country’s most exciting electronic music exports. A native of Sardinia, Italy, Lodde is a classically trained musician and an individual who approaches house and techno like few others in his field.
A live act of considerable distinction, he first emerged in the mid ‘00s courtesy of a string of rapturously received releases, the likes of which helped breathe new life in to a scene that was then preoccupied with monotonous, over-hyped minimal sounds. With the benefit of hindsight, Dusty Kid’s emergence was one of many sparks that helped usher in a whole new era of genuinely exciting, intricately produced electronic music that remains to this very day.
An early embracer of all things musical, Lodde started playing the piano at age 4. By 10, he was studying alongside students almost twice his age. However, it was when he swapped the piano for synths and sequencers that his take on music took on a whole new approach. Heavily influenced by the likes of Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, Jam & Spoon and Daft Punk (and free from what he perceived as the constraints of the piano), he began producing his own electronically-inclined compositions, with his first single, ‘I Found a Reason’.
Boasting a nimble, dexterous and always scrupulously-produced sound aesthetic, his unique way of working quickly brought him to the attention of globally-esteemed labels a la Boxer, Systematic, Southern Fried, Bpitch Control, Suara and Mau5trap, with tracks such as ‘Kore’, ‘Milk’, ‘America’ and ‘Lynchesque’ quickly cementing his name into the hearts and minds of the global electronic music scene.
Alongside his solo releases, Dusty Kid is also an impressively consistent remixer, putting his own stamp on music by the likes of Moby, Armand Van Helden, The Pet Shop Boys, Booka Shade, Robyn and Simian Mobile Disco over the years.
An endlessly consistent purveyor of up-front club fare, Lodde is just as comfortable producing techno- focused records as he is more pop-orientated records, a way of working that’s in keeping with his refreshingly unpretentious take on music.
A truly versatile musician who’s never been shackled by convention, it’s Dusty Kid’s eclecticism and ability to embrace new sounds that means he continues to stick out from the crowd. A musician who continues to electrify and innovate at a rate that would make most of his peers blush, Dusty Kid truly is a talent worth embracing.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!

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.
