VITA
Sophie Nixdorf is one of the most popular DJs in Germany at the moment. The readers of Faze-Magazin have just recently crowned her as being the only female of 2015 top-ten shooting stars.

Sophie stands for uncompromising prime-time techno-sets. From the beginning of her career she played side-by-side with national and international leading DJs. Be it on festivals such as the Winterworld, as former resident DJ of the notorious U60311 in Frankfurt or as resident of the legendary Palazzo-Events Sophie easily stirs-up every dancefloor with her mind-blowing sound.

But she is not only a genius in the art of turntable, she is also recognized as a producer. Her releases on Overdrive and Diametral can be found on the playlists of superstar DJ Richie Hawtin, Drumcode-Artist Mikael Jonasson as well as “Knarzmaschine” Thomas P. Heckmann. Her tracks have been remixed by Stanny Franssen aka G-Force, D.Diggler and Matt K. She has even provided remixed for well know DJs like Lexy, Eric Sneo, Adrian Hour and recently techno artist Niereich. Sophie can never hold her hands still – new projects are already in the pipeline.

Last but not least Sophie owns two techno labels. 2011 she be-came owner of Overdrive and since then heads one of the oldest techno labels in Germany.

In 2015, Sophie Nixdorf founded her new label YOU ARE STRANGE. The label delivers a wide range of techno sounds and will release music from newcomers and established acts. The sound is influenced by the artists Sophie loves and keeps on playing in her sets. It lets you flow between cool techno and house.

I LOVE VINYL OPEN AIR 2015
>> http://on.fb.me/1DdBDiP <<

Unser „I LOVE VINYL – OPEN AIR“ hat sich im wunderschönen Thüringer Norden etabliert und zieht jedes Jahr mehr und mehr Vinyl-Fans in seinen Bann. Das liegt zum einen an unserer familiären, naturverbundenen Atmosphäre, die sich immer am 1. Juliwochenende zwischen Feldern, Wiesen und Wäldern am Südhang des Kyffhäusergebirges verbreitet und zum anderen an unserer Detailverliebtheit für Dekoration, Line-Up und Sound. Seit 2009 hat unser „I LOVE VINYL – OPEN AIR“ internationale Größen angelockt. Dazu zählen Monika Kruse, PanPot, DJ Hell, Mousse T., Karotte, Andhim, Alle Farben, Oliver Koletzki, Tiefschwarz, Modeselektor, Tobi Neumann, Mathias Kaden, Daniel Stefanik, Thomas Schumacher, Blawan, Dapayk & Padberg, Douglas Greed und Jake the Rapper.

PHILOSOPHIE
Vinyl ist die Black Beauty, das schwarze Gold der DJs. Digitale Musik macht Spaß, die wahre Kunst liegt jedoch in den knisternden Scheiben. Deshalb bleiben beim „I LOVE VINYL – OPEN AIR“ die Laptops zu Hause und die CD-Player in der Stereoanlage. Alle DJs spielen ausschließlich Vinyl und selbst die Liveacts verzichten auf den Rechner…

At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future. 

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit. 

Tresor Records was founded in the same year and began to serve as a platform for exporting the new sounds associated with Tresor all around the world. Emergent musicians from Michigan, such as Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance and Drexciya, were pivotal in shaping these early years. Their visits to Berlin would kick-start dialogue between the youth movement in Europe and these musicians. This story is one of friendship and community-building, inextricably linked with cities like Detroit, Birmingham or Edinburgh, where like-minded friends built something truly special, where revelatory rhythms soundtrack decaying industry in corrupted metropoles. 

Tresor Records has been the fertile soil for dozens upon dozens of creative minds, from the very luminaries of the scene who developed electronic music over the last three decades through to contemporary protagonists who are currently defining the sound of the future -  A more than 300 strong catalogue displays an unmistakable identity - the Tresor spirit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.

Not many artists are lucky enough to release a track that defies genre classification and reaches into mainstream culture, with people enthusiastically embracing its melody and adopting it as if it were a football anthem.
His track “Rave” has become an instant classic, a timeless piece of music gaining more than 100 million streams (becoming the most clicked Techno track ever).
Since 1996, a landmark year for him thanks to the worldwide success of his track “Zoe” produced as Paganini Traxx, Sam Paganini’s stylistic experimentations have gone from strength to strength, leading him to collaborate and release his music on several record labels like Plus8, Cocoon Recordings and Drumcode, reaching the highest spots on Beatport’s Techno Chart several times. His unique musical journey has achieved great success both on the underground circuit as well as on the mainstream channels.
In 2016 Sam founded his own record label JAM as a new platform to play out his vision of techno music. At first an outlet for his own productions releasing 3 albums and nowadays also a platform to discover new talented Artists.
Beside his studio work and production time, Sam’s DJ appearances are among the most requested by promoters worldwide: his sets are characterized by powerful grooves and have been described as “Sexy Groovy Dark Techno”, which speaks volumes, literally, on what to expect from his performances.
He has taken the stage at legendary clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Output and Cielo (New York), Rex (Paris), Fabric (London), Crobar (Buenos Aires), Exchange (Los Angeles), Fuse (Bruxelles), Stereo (Montreal), Pacha (Barcelona), Fabrik (Madrid), Amnesia (Ibiza), Privilege (Ibiza) and Cocoricò (Riccione) just to name a few, and at Festivals like Awakenings (Netherlands), Nature One (Germany), Mayday (Germany), Tomorrowland (Belgium), Sziget (Hungary), Sonus (Pag Island), Time Warp (Germany), Ultra (USA).
