One of the most charming DJs in the business. A musical ambassador and a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, a dance music pioneer, label owner, King of Ibiza – you name it, Carl's been there and done it, never losing sight of his passions – playing music, breaking tunes.

Italian duo Neverdogs are two decades strong into their tenure within the global underground dance music scene. Renowned for their extended feel-good and uplifting sets, full of sensual tones, sultry atmospheres and upbeat House & Techno, Bamboleo Records frontmen Tommy Paone & Marco De Gregorio continue to set a precedent for cutting-edge avant-garde dance cuts.

With Tommy inspired by a mix of Punk, Electro, Experimental Rock, ‘70s/’80s + more, and Marco from the likes of Depeche Mode, Yazoo and ‘80s House, the Neverdogs blueprint draws influence from the likes of Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Masters At Work, Satoshi Tomii, Deep Dish, Ralf, Ricky Montanari and Flavio Vecchi among others.

Rising to fame through a celebrated residency at Amnesia Ibiza with renowned Ibiza brand Music On from its beginning until 2011, Neverdogs continue to appear across the world’s best-known festivals, brands and club spaces. Some of their most recognised appearances have been Destino Ibiza, Studio 338 London, Pacha Ibiza and Fabric London - where they recently celebrated 20 years of Neverdogs with one of their increasingly popular Bamboleo showcases. When considering leading electronic imprints, Neverdogs have become almost inevitable.

Releases on the likes of elrow Music, Mindshake, Bamboleo, Tamango, Snatch!, Moan, Sanity, Blackflag, Deeperfect, Roush, Avotre and many more continue to cement their prominence through high-quality dancefloor-focused subterranean club records.

In 2019, Neverdogs released their ‘Details’ album on Bamboleo Records. The thirteen-track body of work goes way beyond the dancefloor, with Tommy and Marco describing it as “13 tracks that we think not only the people in the industry will enjoy, but also everyone in the music scene.” The album offers a kaleidoscopic journey into the profound and cultured depths of Neverdogs’ musical creativity, providing a variety of moods and soundscapes for every listening scenario conceivable.

Neverdogs’ music is a constant complement to performances of many of the industry’s most respected tastemakers, including Marco Carola, Yaya, Joseph Capriati, Jamie Jones, Dubfire, Apollonia, Paco Osuna, Loco Dice, Luciano, Guti, Cuartero, Kenny Dope, Davide Squillace, The Martinez Brothers, wAFF, Richie Ahmed, Oxia and many more.

Using Neverdogs’ sterling global reputation as a vessel, their Bamboleo Records brand also continues to attain an ever-growing fanbase. Through impressive releases from Reelow, Matteo Gatti, WLAD, Sebastian Ledher, , George Smeddles, Wax On Mare St. and many more, including Tommy & Marco themselves, and label showcases in major cities globally, Bamboleo is fast-becoming a celebration of cutting-edge underground House music and unforgettable
dancefloor memories.

Julian Perez developed his love for electronic music during the early 90s, heavily influenced by the House and Techno music coming out of the US, UK, and Northwestern Europe’s techno, EBM, and New Beat. He has established himself as a unique and diverse DJ known for his dedication, discernment, respect, and patience.

In 2010, Julian released his first record, which marked the beginning of his successful music career. He then went on to launch his own label, "Fathers & Sons Productions" in 2012. The label, which focuses on vinyl-only releases, provided Julian with a platform to showcase his sound worldwide. With label showcases in over twelve different countries in the first year and a solid catalog of output, the label quickly gained international recognition and support from some of the most respected artists in the scene. In addition to releasing music on his own labels, he also released music on other respected labels such as Cocoon Recordings, Raum..Musik, and Subwax Bcn among others, further solidifying his reputation as a talented producer and tastemaker. This diverse range of releases showcases, his versatility as an artist and his ability to adapt to different styles and sounds.

To date, every release on his labels has sold out in the first days of sales, which serves as a testament to Julian's impeccable taste in House and Techno production, as well as his ability to spot new and interesting artists. This level of success demonstrates Julian's ability to consistently produce high-quality music, maintain a strong fan base, and stay relevant in the ever-changing electronic music scene.

Fathers & Sons Productions number twelve closed a significant chapter with the release of his first solo album, "Solemnity" in 2016. This 2x12" vinyl release showcased Julian's attention to detail and the evolution of his style, providing a window into the artist's dedication to his craft and his ability to create honest, authentic sound. After taking a much-needed break, Julian is now bringing the label back with a fresh sound and concept, infused with all the energy, inspiration, and knowledge he has gained during his time away. This next chapter starts in 2023, and it’s sure to be a continuation of the label's success and cement Julian's reputation as one of the top-notch label’s head honchos.

Julian launched his very own project, "Girada Unlimited" in 2017, which quickly gained the attention of true music enthusiasts and collectors, known as “Crate diggers." This vinyl-only label was heavily supported from its inception, even before the public knew who was behind it. The label’s tenth release was Julian's second album, "Break-Even" which was released in 2021 after a series of successful records by Julian and other producers. The label continues to deliver quality releases to this day, which keeps evolving in various directions as Julian's vision and surprising his crowd every time.

Throughout his career, Julian has acquired an impressive international reputation, playing at some of the most relevant festivals such as Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), Outline in Moscow, Sunwaves in Romania, Epizode in Vietnam, BPM Festival in Mexico, and hosting his own events during Sonar Week in Barcelona, Kazantip Festival in Crimea, and Winter Music Conference in Miami. He has also played at some of the finest underground parties and essential clubs worldwide such as Rex in Paris, Fabric in London, Womb in Tokyo, Robert Johnson in Offenbach, and numerous mythical clubs in frequently.
Julian has also been a regular at Underground Ibiza club, hosting his own nights over the summer season. He has also been frequently invited to Richie Hawtin's ENTER. at Space and Sven Vath's Cocoon Ibiza, among others.
He was nominated as Best Breakthrough Artist in 2012, Best DJ of 2013 by Vicious Music Awards, and Best Newcomer category by DJ Awards in 2016.
2025 is loaded with new projects, records, and stand-out performances. The best way to experience Julian's artistry is to see him live on the dancefloor, where he displays his technical skill, and record selection on his own world behind the decks.

The BPM Festival, which stands for “Bartenders, Promoters, Musicians” was created in 2008 as a post-New Year’s gathering of industry professionals and has grown to a 70,000+ global gathering of DJs, producers, revelers and industry professionals; a must for any music lover with a discerning taste for quality underground dance music. Over the last decade, BPM parties were hosted both day and night at multiple venues. In 2017, The BPM Festival announced expansions with events being held in September in Portimão, Portugal and Tel Aviv, Israel. Newly announced, BPM returns for its winter edition in its new home of Tamarindo, Costa Rica from January 15-19, 2020.

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). KAPPA Future Festival (Italy), Dour Festival (Belgium) and Monegros (Spain).

Now an established force in contemporary Techno, Mike Bierbach, better known under his stage name Rødhåd is someone who has seriously put in the work. Having cut his teeth DJing as a relatively unnoted (but well loved by those in the know) local in Berlin for 10 years, one could argue that by the time success knocked on his door, he was more than ready for playing the international stage. It was during these 10 years of obscurity when he refined his craft to become the singular DJ he is now. 

Launching his party-series-turned-label Dystopian in 2009 was what truly tipped the ball over for Rødhåd. In a time where the Berlin scene was heavily oversaturated by fluffy, miscellaneous dance music, he & his peers set out to form a platform for real techno. The reception to this was raucous. 

Although he has lauded productions and remixes to his name, DJing is his true forte. Before abandoning his day job as a draftsman in construction “The Red” (as some call him due to his gingered, bearded appearance) was known for playing very long sets in Berlin’s most notorious hideaways. 

With an album, several EPs & remixes for a multitude of different artists under his belt, Rødhåd the producer has received equal praise as Rødhåd the DJ. Dystopian has hosted most of his releases, but in 2018 he founded a new label WSNWG that serves as a home for collaborative productions, excavated in sessions at his East-Berlin studio with his peers such as Lucy, Alex.Do, & Antigone.
