Mike McClure, aka Autokinetic, based in Minneapolis (U.S.), has been performing live electronic music since the early 90’s. Coming up alongside local legends like Freddy Fresh, Woody McBride, Paul Birken, DJ Slip, and DVS1, his approach to electronic music is unmistakably informed by his long involvement in underground electronic music culture. Earlier in his career, Autokinetic produced hard, 909-driven acid and now focuses on deeper, more spacious grooves. His full-hardware live performances have an unmistakable after-hours feel that is true to his roots. McClure also records and performs live as AutoClub with Craig Lambert (Midnight Music Club). He has released music on such labels as Electric Music Foundation, Serotonin, Trope Recordings, and Music Man, as well as a record label co-managed with Freddy Fresh, Analog Records USA.

MISTRESS 16 will be available at all fine record stores and also comes with a digital bonus track, only available on Bandcamp: www.dvs1mistress.bandcamp.com

Born in 1980 and raised in the Detroit area, Luke Hess has harnessed a deep appreciation for electronic music and the expression of the underground movement. 

His background in mathematics and engineering has given him a scientific approach to the dance floor, using frequencies, tones, and soundscapes to transform surroundings and mood. 
In 2003 he recorded his first promotional mix CD release for UR/Submerge. Since then, his faith based music production has landed him a seat with FXHE and Planet-e in Detroit. 

His debut album was released in early May 2009 by Denmark based label Echocord. 
In 2010 he began his own interpretation of Detroit techno with his new Detroit project and record label - DeepLabs. 

His sophomore album “Keep On” was released on FXHE records in 2012 and received a Recommended 4.5/5 rating on Resident Advisor. 

Hess is regarded as a perfectionist in his live sets and behind the decks layering his tracks in a very detailed and hypnotic manner. 
He has played at notable venues and events such as Tresor (Berlin), Culture Box (Copenhagen), Berghain (Berlin), Unit (Tokyo), Detroit Electronic Music Festival (Detroit), Fabric (London), The End Up (San Francisco), Golden Pudel (Hamburg), Sirup (Zagreb), Weekend Club (Berlin), Cubic Club (Madrid), Space (Ibiza), The Bunker (NYC) and many other venues all over the world. 

Luke’s continued hard work in the studio and in his performances combined with his unyielding interest in technology and sound will no doubt stimulate the boundaries of electronic music.
