Bursting on the scene in 2014 with his critically acclaimed Bantwanas Piano on Defected records, a record described by Dj Mag as a towering achievement in modern house music, South African legend Ryan Murgatroyd has continued in fine form with over 100 releases to his name, spanning labels as diverse as Get Physical, All Day I Dream, Purified, Still Vor talent, This never Happened and his own imprint Swoon Records. A musicians musician, he is a true student of the craft, and much of his work is truly transcendent of the cliches of 4/4 music.

Paving the way for countless electronic artists in South Africa, he pioneered a fusion of African and electronic elements long before the Afro House trend began, releasing the Ikalimba EP in 2015 to massive support from Solomon and countless others, and continuing to forge new sonic ground and help to place south african electronic music on the global map.

Sharing the boiler room stage with Black Coffee, Satori and Blondish in Amsterdam in 2018 he had a chance to showcase his unique sound, and incredible live performance, to the world, and from there the gates were open.

His 2019 smash hit Wicked Eyes was voted Record of the Summer in Ibiza that season, and was played on dance floors around the world but a list of heavy hitters and top 10 regulars.

His label Swoon Recordings continues to set the standard for underground electronic music parties, and top shelf releases with artists like Cioz, Atmos Blaq, Corpino and countless other local talents unearthed. While Murgatroyd took up residence in Mexico City in 2022, performing at some of CDMX’s biggest club nights and continuing to push new boundaries in the live performance, his best work is still to come.

I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

It has been said that something as
small as the flutter of a butterfly's
wing can ultimately cause a typhoon
halfway around the world.

Similarly on the decks, combining 2 small loops on 2 separate channels can turn a sample into a song. With a connection like this between partners, they can take some samples and clash them together in such a way that it leaves a crowd breathless… 
Without them even knowing what’s going on. 

Being in the scene and learning from others left us to find our own unique style of mixing. Both having dabbled a bit with producing, left an idea. It’s all just samples being mixed to create the track. Why don’t we just do it live? On cdjs, with samples found inside our favourite tracks. 

Through this we were introduced to looping songs in while the other track is playing and so figured out how to chop up and change songs that are playing by adding elements from another track. This then lead to not even mixing but just playing around with loops on multiple channels for minutes on end, to create our own sound. 

This has changed our perspective to djing and what possibilities there lie whilst standing behind the decks. With 4 hands on deck at all times leaves endless variations of what you thought a song could be. 

Dub house / Dub techno took a drastic fall in the early 2000’s. But with the hypnotic sounds found in these tracks left us in awe. We are here to bring it back. And with one small loop at a time we will enlighten the human soul.

Within the chaos of pilling samples on top of one another comes order when it’s done correctly. A sound one is unfamiliar with, a feeling, a different perspective, a better perspective. 

This is the flap of the wing.
