"Music is the beginning of life, playing for me is a necessity: Sounds are like words and you can combine them in thousands of different ways but sometimes you can't control them... When an artist plays he always shows something about his soul, his mind and his heart." 
Musician, dj and producer, Joy Kitikonti is a polyhedric artist with several discographic successes, important partnerships and awards in his background. All these experiences made him the complete artist of today. Joy Kitikonti was born in Tuscany. He felt immediately a great passion for music when he was young, probably influenced by his father, a musician during 60ʼs 70ʼs. His career began in 80ʼs, he was a self taught musician, skilful with the drum and percussion instruments. In 1990 he became producer. In 1996 he became a member of Media Records. Here he realized important productions, a lot of remix and numerous collaborations with djs. A lot of his productions were born under nicknames. “Joyenergizer (BXR)“ made him famous all over the world. 
We can say he’s “Natural born artist”. His innate talent, his creativity and strong will made him especially known for his mood and for his inspiration. But Joy is always the reserved and quiet person he was before and he doesn’t like talking too much about himself or boasting about his success, because he gives in charge to the music the power to tell his story. 

The dj is a chef, that can mix sounds, riffs, cool bass effects, drums, percussions … at the desks he “cooks” and everytime he produces a different and original set.

Anyway who ask Joy Kitikonti what is music will get this answer...and he continues "Life is a mix: a combinations of sounds, styles, places, pictures. Contamination is the key to re-invent and to live own life, to escape from banality and from something of already seen or heard."
“When the dj plays his music, he feels like a writer: and when he plays he always shows something about his soul, his mind and his heart. Sounds are like words and you can combine them in thousands of different ways and sometimes you can’t control them. Even if Electronic Music needn’t classical instruments and scores, it offers the same possibilities of other genres.”

His own life is a mix: a combination of sounds, moods, styles, places, images. The “contamination” is the key to re-invent and to live your life with your personal style, to escape the banality and the danger of something already seen and already heard. His “hand” is always perceivable in his productions.

His underground vocation comes from those boundary territories, where music means fun, not just money, where friendship among the artists goes further than the interests of the music industry and where new ideas and moods are generated by the artists’ exchange and partnerships. Joy belongs to that world where, if we can use the espression… vanguards often born.

Strong from his solid background, Joy Kitikonti is also involved with Family Piknik Festival and music label. Tom Pooks’s studio partner since ages, they produce many dancefloor weapons together and already have caught the attention of Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Fisher and many other high influence artists. Since 2018, Joy Kitikonti & Tom Pooks have developed Family Piknik Music with many successful releases. Together, they’ve pushed many new talents and gave them the spotlights they deserve. Transmission is also the key for passionate artists to share their knowledge and vision. That way, Italian maestro contributes to the global Dance Music scene with an unlimited devotion and a remarkable discretion.

Two remixes were released under the abbreviated moniker "ADN" which were, "Mauro Picotto - The Twilight Zone," on Alchemy Records in late-2023 (a hard acid techno remix of the 1999 underground techno hit Megamind - Taub), and "Andreas Kraemer & Jon Connor - Catch," on Sonaxx Records in mid-2024 (a hard techno/schranz remix featuring the vocal from Kosheen's chart topping club hit "Catch"). Both "Ad Nauseam" and "ADN" ceased being active projects in mid-2024 and are now defunct, with the two producers opting to pursue different creative directions under their solo monikers. A final release, as "Ad Nauseam," called the "Rave System E.P.," was released in early 2025, and included two new 90's rave inspired hard acid techno tracks, "Omega System," and "Alpha System," plus the previously unreleased 2004 hard acid techno track "Always Acid," due to high demand for its release on SoundCloud. The "Rave System E.P." was released on extremely limited edition yellow vinyl in a full-color picture sleeve and digital through Flatlife Records, and topped techno vinyl sales charts, and received major support from techno and acid techno DJs around the world.

Born in Belgium in 1980, dj since 1992. Lover of music since then he never stopped even for a second to think to it. Bimas Junior was born in 1980 in Mons, Belgium. He started loving music when he was a little boy by dancing on his father’s vinyl discs (wrong thing, he says!). As a teen-ager, he stopped dancing on discs and began listening to their sound, spending hours by the turntable, and remaining astonished on how a simple stylus could produce such a melody from a piece of plastic. When 12, along with his friends, as a play, he found that mixing, cutting and pasting music could be fun! But soon the fun became a hard work, as he was using tapes on 2 analogic cassette decks and a small mixer to do the mixing. One day, at a friend’s house, when for the first time he saw 2 turntables, the music really changed! So, he set out on a journey to becoming a dj, by presenting his selected music at various feasts and pubs in his home area. Day after day he realized that the music and him would never and ever separate. In 1996 he felt unhappy of simply mixing from vinyl, so he started exploring the idea of creating his own music that made him feel good. He began crossing the way to the music’s creative world and made his first experience in a little recording studio in Bologna, Italy. In 2000, together with friend Maks L.M., they were able to get their first vinyl printed. Bimas, whose artistic name is the short combination of his first and last name, kept producing music in the little recording studio created with Maks; he went through various musical styles and sounds, from dance to trance, including techno and house music, pop/rock, chillout and new age. On his journey, t he guit ar became Bimas new love and a push to exploring the inmost of music to complete himself. The artist stated “I felt incomplete without a musical instrument by my side”. In the following years and now, he is still knowing and collaborating with more and more people and artists of the discographic field that mean so much for his artistic education. As a dj, Bimas doesn’t go by all the rage or music trends; he simply presents and proposes the contemporary music he is fancy of and so far he meets appreciation at large. Bimas masters the ability to shift from the most aggressive sounds to deep or melodic ones with elegance and style. He is also influenced by some tribal sounds, electronic and power grooves. Bimas doesn’t stick to a whatsoever model or idol, and he is free to appreciate anyone who can express their feeling, pleasure and fun with their music, no matter what kind. Bimas uses to say: “If I loved only one kind of music, I wouldn’t have a future with it!”. Bimas holds two certainties in his life: his family and his music.

A*S*Y*S - Bio:

A*S*Y*S aka Frank Ellrich has been a frequent player on the global scene since 2000. His revolutionary studio productions, ranging from dark acid odysseys to driving hard funky floor fillers continue to set dance floors ablaze the world over! He has also performed at some of the most prolific music festivals and events in the world. From Time Warp to Mysteryland, and EDC to Tomorrowland, he has covered more than 20 countries across five continents. His music shares a vision for the techno progressive, and harder genres, which is equal parts euphoric and energetic whilst laced with his signature pounding groove and acid undertones. His music has influenced entire genres through his career at Tracid Traxxx and his own label “Fe Records”.
While he has sought innovation throughout his career, he always stayed true to his passion which is the ultimate dynamic energy combined with the one element that makes the difference: acid has been the soul of A*S*Y*S until today. In Summer 2018, Frank founded Fe Chrome with a clear vision on how to enrich and inspire the techno scene. The 4th release (A*S*Y*S - The Acid) already climbed to #1 of the Beatport Techno Top 100 charts (overall charts #3) and held its position for 6 weeks.
Within one year only, Fe Chrome has become no. 7 of the best selling techno labels (Beatstats). A*S*Y*S meanwhile gained more than 30 mio plays on Spotify and heaps of top five tracks on Beatport's Techno Charts. Recently his new single "Verknipt Nochmal" (on his brand new sub label Chrome Red) hit the no1 hard techno charts again.
