For some, it’s more than just music... Jordan Nocturne has been creating and seeking out authentic clubbing communities the world over. It's a connection that started in Belfast where his party The Night Institute is the stuff of legend, with a notorious reputation for throwing riotous parties in pubs, clubs and open-air spaces in the city.

Now he’s taking that unique feeling across the globe to Fabric, Sub Club, Panorama Bar and Pikes, stopping in Australia, Japan, Paris, Amsterdam, New York on the way. A fierce champion of club culture, Jordan runs both the Nocturne and The Night Institute labels, where he curates his vision of the future of club music. As an artist, he showcases his versatility on seminal labels Correspondant, Polari, Permanent Vacation & Gudu dipping into low slung electronics, italo-tinged house and peak time club energy as the mood takes him. Mainstage support comes from the likes of Peggy Gou, DJ Seinfeld, Gerd Janson & Jennifer Cardini, while Nocturne remix duties have taken in everyone from David Holmes and Inner City to Cormac and Django Django.

With energetic & propulsive DJ sets joining the dots between all facets of cutting edge electronic music, Jordan’s versatility sees him equally as comfortable in intimate sweatboxes and big stages. This has resulted in a dedicated following of clubbers has been built off the back of stand-out live sets and timeless mixes for Mixmag Lab, Boiler Room, BBC Radio One & Circoloco.

Whether you catch him in a global clubbing institution or a festival mainstage - one thing’s for sure - you’d better get ready to sweat.

... electronic duo combining experience and instinct, analog feel and modern textures with no cares for rules ...

Maurizio Schmitz drives his own bus, dividing his diary effortlessly between work and
play and playing.
Half Italian, half German and his is a dizzying ongoing musical journey that flies economy
and business all at the same time. Maurizio exploits these contrasts, wearing pinstripes
or pyjamas or both - he jams.
We are talking about psychedelic house here. Socks off and sensual. It works on the big
stage, it works in the club and it washes all over an after hour. This sound did not happen
by accident.
In 1990 scrambling around some old Thorens decks in a club his mother worked in
Maurizio was scooping up all the vinyl lost from the night before – the first Schmitz
mixtapes (which actually were not mixed) saw the light of day at this time. Many were to
follow and these valuable suckers live amongst 11,000 pieces of vinyl collected and
stroked over the years.
When German techno was dynamite, changing the rules and ushering in a whole new
world of electronic music Maurizio was not only there – he was smack in the middle of it.
Bonn, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich. From the infamous “Labor” club to a 10 years
residency at 'FrequenzBerater' to Frankfurt and “U60311”. Many many more but maybe
two things stand out and tell you more. Spaldingstreet 43 in Hamburg, the original flat
sharing rave. Maurizio presided over 7 years of lovely madness. Today you could create
a major art/music festival just from the people who crashed out on the sofas there. Then
the tour de force. His very own Mauromusica night founded in Bonn 2004 in the beautiful
“Rheingarten”. An octagon shaped glass pavilion. Promoter, resident DJ and mum on the
door. Another 10 years.
No need to name names, somewhere in the above paragraph they all passed through.
Perhaps one name, because here comes the other Maurizio Schmitz.
In a 1994 after hour set in Munich, “Pulvertum” it was called, the raver Maurizio noticed
Sven Vath 2 metres high in a tree mid set. You don’t forget stuff like that.
Their paths were never going to stop crossing.
Event manager, promoter, booker and for some time now the right hand man and
frequent support act for the immortal legendary magician Sven Vath. It is a relationship
that is not stopping any time soon.
So, to summarise, Sicilan passion met German techno and spat out the Dj Maurizio Schmitz.

“Caught between two worlds …” is not the most convenient place for most musicians. That, however, is where Oscar OZZ has felt most comfortable for years. Whether Deep House, Tech House, Indie Dance or Minimal: the most important thing is that it grooves, is catchy and rocks the dance floor! His gigs at the hottest clubs in the country as well as his gigs abroad in Mexico, Bolivia, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Norway etc. have also been highly praised in retrospect, just like his regular festival appearances at e.g. SonneMondSterne, Sputnik Springbreak or Summerspirit.

Every year many tracks appear, mostly on vinyl, and sweeten up – not only in this country – music lovers’ lives. Oscar’s discography is very comprehensive and includes famous productions on many different labels such as Katermukke, Material Series, Confused, Perc Trax, Superfancy, BlackFoxMusic. Oscar OZZ is also known and notorious for his edits, which are distributed to a large fan base (> 5000 subscriber) free of charge on a monthly basis through his newsletter. Songs from many artists have thus had the pleasure to be enhanced for the DJ world.

Since 2003 Oscar OZZ is running different imprints like Karatemusik, KarateKlub, Lørdag, Kol Mojito, Extrasmart, Tape Select or OZZ Records. He’s also working together with different artists like Ron Flatter, Patrick Brosin, etc. to bring up their labels like Pour La Vie or .defaultbox  to the top.  Most of the tracks were released on vinyl and digital. The complete administrative stuff, like handling with pressing plants and digital distribution and accounting is managed successfully through Oscar OZZ. Check out his Blog to lern more about the work with Labels!
