Artist Info:
1979, also known by his real name Giovanni Salviato, is an Amsterdam based, Venetian-born artist. Featured by the labels fryhide, previously Klangwelt, Addicted Music, his newest releases one after the other are gaining international success. His first peak took off with the powerful club banger Prototipo. It received international upraise after Patrice Baumel played it at CRSSD Festival in California(US), then supported by HOSH, Max Cooper, Dominik Eulberg among many. Soon, the summer of 2018 the track “Space Cake” from his latest EP “Once I saw the Sky” on HOSH’s fryhide label, was the second that took over the festival stages with storm and soon broke into the top100 techno charts on Beatport and was also considered one of the top best tracks of techno this summer on the platform. His early music influences sparked in the small town of Vicenza, in the midst of the Alps and Shakespearean North Italy. After his background in classical piano he dove into electronic productions with a steel determination and has been doing it for over 10 years. “It first hit me when once 18 I stumbled upon a rave party in the mountains. I lived in a city between Venice and the alps, where many of those illegal raves were being organised. There and then I was instantly mind-blown by the energy of the music controlling the crowd. The next day I was already producing with my first set and performing on stage in one year.” His music is a curation of combined post-rock feel of melancholy, the energy of rave and the heavy base of techno.

A former protégée of the highly respected British DJ John Digweed, Pole Folder entered the limelight in 2001 as a DJ and producer at the forefront of the European progressive house movement, and has since evolved into a multi-instrumentalist and live performer of melodic-driven techno, tech house and deep house. His critically acclaimed music has been released on some of electronic music's most prestigious record labels including Global Underground and Renaissance, as well as on Bedrock Records, which put out his best sellers 'Apollo Vibes' (2001) and 'Dust' (2003). Both were co-produced alongside renowned Belgian DJ CP. In 2003, Digweed commissioned Pole Folder's debut artist album 'Zero Gold', and two years later it was released to worldwide praise from the electronic music media, including Resident Advisor, who gave it a 4.5/5 and described it as "delicate atmospheric...musically rich...and one of those timeless pieces of music." Several 'Zero Gold' tracks such as 'Faith In Me' with vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw and 'Salvation On Slavery Sins' have featured on hit US TV shows including Nip/Tuck and CSI, and Pole Folder and CP's 'Apollo Vibes' was featured in the movie 'Stark Raving Mad', with 'Dust' used as the backing music for Channel 4's advertising campaign in the U.K.. Since 2003, Pole Folder has toured globally as a DJ and a live performer. His live shows aim to recreate the intricate and precise studio processes behind his music in a club environment, with synthesizers, mixing desks, FX boxes, laptops, and live vocalists fashioned by Pole Folder into a succinct club sound. He also plays guitar, synths, and trumpet, skills that he acquired during a long musical education that began at the age of 5. In 2006, Pole Folder launched 'Destinations' on Frisky Radio, a show that was recorded live at various gigs worldwide. It garnered a huge following and led Frisky to ask Pole Folder to recreate this concept live in the studio for his first compilation, 'Destinations', which utilised both his regular Pioneer DJ set up, and a number of live instruments. After a couple of label experiments (La Tour, 80Hz), Pole Folder launched his own record label Reworck in 2010. The imprint represents a new dawn for Pole Folder as an artist. With his sound having evolved into the more melodic fringes of techno, tech house, and deep house, and his gigs focused solely on live performances, Reworck embodies his new sound, his wealth of musical expertise, and passion for intense, soul-touching, dance music.

Artist Info:
Born and raised in Rome, with German DNA and a diverse musical palette Ae:ther is an artist who has quickly established his pedigree as a formidable producer and selector through scintillating DJ sets and a batch of stunning releases. Now based in Berlin, the 29-year-old has returned to the motherland where he is steadily cultivating a reputation for haunting melodies and narcotic rhythms. With strong connections to Damian Lazarus at Crosstown Rebels and the Afterlife crew, Ae:ther has considerable industry support with his focus on delivering high quality dance floor ready cuts that channel his love for ambient electronica and transmitting deep emotion, while keeping the energy levels high. Ae:ther discovered club music early in his life, inspired by Underground Resistance and the early Detroit sound, along with artists like Autechre, Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream and Miles Davis - pioneers who pushed boundaries. As producing and DJing became a daily obsession, he left Rome to go and study in Milan. It was there, at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) that he studied Sound Design and his lifelong commitment to the exploration of sound and vibration really took hold.

From there he moved to London, a city where he matured and grew as an artist. After a couple of years he found a space at Fortress Studios in Old Street, where he befriended neighbours such as Bicep and assisted other artists with their music, his knowledge of sound design giving him the ability to add a whole other dimension to the artists he worked with. Six years in London gave Ae:ther all the experience he needed of life in a city that many consider to be the centre of the musical universe. In 2017, enticed by the prospect of expanding his network and pushing his career forwards Ae:ther moved to Berlin. There he joined like-minded collaborators Mind Against and Tale Of Us, alongside a whole crew of new friends, and immersed himself in the highly fertile electronic music scene. The Berlin lifestyle; liberal, inclusive and supportive of the arts, has fed back into Ae:ther’s love for production, and taken him to a whole new level of musical expression. 

As a producer he has been blazing a trail, his natural aptitude for crafting emotive, captivating compositions landing him several releases with Afterlife, including his exceptional EP ‘Spectre’, which was released in July 2018. Ae:ther’s love for experimental, ambient music lies at the core of his distinct sound. Coupled with deep underground influences and a meditative atmosphere, he programs taut percussion and juxtaposes it with dreamlike soundscapes, telling mesmerising stories with his synths. This inimitable approach has brought him to the attention of one of the scene’s most influential figures, Damian Lazarus. He has commissioned Ae:ther to compose a remix of his exceptional single ‘All I Need’ with the Ancient Moons, released Ae:ther’s ‘Stardancer EP’ on Crosstown Rebels, and has also signed his debut album ‘Me’. Besides that, Ae:ther has unleashed his debut live set at select clubs and festivals, including performances at Get Lost Miami, Tomorrowland, Audioriver Festival, Day Zero, Afterlife and Sandbox Festival.

Artist Info:
In Berlin’s vibrant club scene, it’s easy to become another artist lost in the crowd. To stand out, musicians must bend genres, take risks and keep fans on their toes, always anticipating what’s next. Niconé does just that. Constantly creating and always innovating, this German DJ and producer doesn’t shy away from a challenge. Alexander Gerlach started Niconé in 2007 as a project promoting music and fashion – he has a knack for graphic design and an interest in clothing alongside his passion for music. Since the beginning of his music career, he’s released a string of albums and EPs, both solo and with artists like Sascha Braemer, Jan Blomqvist, and Philip Bader to name just a few. Niconé’s music cannot be defined simply by a genre, but rather, a feeling: the feeling when a dance floor full of strangers unites to form a singular mass, all dancing to a common beat; of the sun coming up in the early morning as a party reaches its peak; of the hours spent conversing with new friends as after-hour tracks pound in the distance; of nostalgia for years-gone-by balanced by an excitement for what’s to come. Dantze, the label he founded together with Philip Bader in 2006, has become a platform for releasing the works of talents like Britta Arnold, Gunjah and Daniel Dreier. The label embraces several electronic music styles that convey similar euphoric feelings experienced when listening to Niconé’s own tracks, but all in their very own way. His releases on labels like Stil vor Talent, Katermukke, Bar 25 Music and of course, Dantze, take in influences including deep house, tech-house, old-school electronic music as well as non- electronic genres. But the classifications aren’t what’s important – it’s all about conveying a feeling, something Niconé does masterfully.

*Tracklist & Interview here: bit.ly/3wJQo0s

Artist Info:
Sao Paulo, Brazil, native Keith Holland spent his formative years as an apprentice, with the overarching goal of figuring out how to build the best possible sonorities for dance floors. Vibrant synthesizers and a deep, resonant bass are Keith's primary compositional instruments, and they work together to create an abundance of musical possibilities. Keith's most recent single, "Dilema," was heavily supported by Dixon and Âme, leading to the track's presence on the Innervisions, Secret Weapons 14 compilation. The time and energy he put into composing new ideas ultimately landed him contracts with the record labels Buttress Records (Enzo Elia, Lehar, and Musumeci) and Sum Over Histories. (Frankey & Sandrino) With this newfound confidence, he's ready to move forward with his life's work in the thrilling world of music.

Keith Holland @ Melodic Therapy #158 - Brazil

*Tracklist & Interview here: bit.ly/3wJQo0s

Artist Info:
A musician since birth, the Canary Islands’ Alex Medina has engaged in a lifelong commitment to electronic music since 1993. The DJ, live act, producer, promoter, and more recently, label owner has been an active member and mover within the Iberian electronic music community, and continues to expand his reach beyond the Atlantic by way of impelling sets and ingenious productions that not only pique his listeners’ aural verve but also immerse them in multi-sensory experiences. On decks, as a DJ and in live acts, Medina is a wizard, his sets are groovy and psychedelic, deep and complex, versatile and broad, fervently seeking to escape conventionalism, tapping into multi-verses, from house to techno, indie to electronica, and everything in between. Whether through radio shows like D-Votion or Planet Love, in intimate club settings such as Watergate and Der Visionaire, festivals and open air events across continents, Medina navigates dancers to exquisite soundscapes that incite motion and broaden minds. Alternatively, Medina is also occasionally found dishing raregrooves and disco, embracing his passion for jazz, funk, and soul under his Negro Hamaquero moniker. A promoter since the turn of the millenium, behind the scenes at El Guateque, Intro and Splash, Medina not only contributes to but also helped shape the emerging electronic music scene in the archipelago, a movement that has consistently procreated a breed of talents into the international electronic music arena as of late. Founding one of the first record shops in the Islands and working for various record distribution companies in the mainland, Medina is a master-selector by default. His impeccable crate-digging skills transfused seamlessly into fine A&R, as he undertook the role of label head in 2017. And thus Mumbai Records was born. With acclaimed releases, the label has successfully balanced electronic and organic sounds with grace, introducing novel vibes and risky electronica for mature audiences. Releasing on some of the most relevant labels in his niche and beyond, yielding top hits producing may be Medina’s most compelling innate calling, and the community at large is at luck to have his musical genius freely flowing through generous sonic indulgences. His artistic gambit is ambitious and lucrative, sprawling across genres with a signature hypnotic depthness and affective symbiosis, garnering accolades and support from esteemed scene heavyweights, Dixon, Ame, Pete Tong, Solomun, Richie Hawtin, to name a few. An ace in mingling organic house instrumentals and obscure techno elements in atmospheric electronica, Medina is adept in stimulating senses, blending human sensations into the framework of reality, simulating boundless musical journeys by way of emotion and a constant pursuit of curiosity in play.
