While Jesse Jakob is a relative newcomer to the global techno scene, he has quietly been building a resume that goes back over two decades.  A longtime fixture in the Minneapolis techno community, he has been DJ'ing since the mid 1990's and his many years of experience have honed his ear to a special strain of music. His sets and productions are reflective of his taste for raw, powerful, stripped down grooves and a control gained only through countless hours of dedication.  

After a decade of playing at and organizing one-off events, in 2007 Jesse became a resident DJ when "Black" was launched. A weekly event held at the legendary First Avenue Nightclub, this was Jesse's first residency and opportunity to curate a monthly party. Black ran for 5 years and played host to many leading figures in contemporary house and techno.  Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Peter Van Hoesen, Levon Vincent, Silent Servant, and Anthony Parasole were just a few who performed in the 250 person club.  A very intimate party, the small room and great sound system proved to be the perfect recipe for a Saturday night.

It was also during these years that Jesse began a renewed focus in the studio.  Having experimented with production and live performance over the years, it finally became a priority and a focal point.  The hard work began to pay off when Jonas Kopp signed his first finished tracks to Traut Muzik in 2012.

The Time Resistance EP was released in 2013 with remixes from Jonas Kopp and Kevin Gorman and was well regarded and received heavy support. 

 After the success of his first record, Jesse's next two appearances came in 2014 via Par Grindvik's Stockholm LTD and Pfirter's Mindtrip label.  Both V/A's, his original works were featured alongside the likes of Markus Suckut, Pfirter, Andre Kronert, Peder Mannerfeldt, Charlton and Simon Haydo.

2015 saw Jesse make a  return to Traut Muzik with the Barrage EP; featuring remixes from Pfirter and Exium which was released in January and received early support from Oscar Mulero, Marcel Fengler, Ben Sims, Marcel Dettmann and many more.




UNDERGROUND BANGING DARK TECHNO 
PASSION FOR TECHNO
*********************

D-Nox (born 06 December 1975) is a German DJ/producer and 1 time DJ Awards winner whose career in electronic music spans well over 25 years. Everything started for him with the electronic scene in his hometown of Düsseldorf in the early 90ties, branding his mark in the music community by also being a part of the duo D-Nox & Beckers who are responsible for various club hits since 2004 and are still currently releasing 16 years later on prestigious labels such as Bedrock, Suara and Sudbeat to name a few, as well as through D-Nox’s own record label Sprout Music. 
D-Nox has brought his sound all around the world with his international bookings as a DJ, keeping him constantly on the move with his travels every weekend, through Europe, down to Australia, across the Americas, and around Asia and Africa. D-Nox has an exceptionally outstanding career in Brazil where he has his biggest fan community.
D-Nox was born in East Germany, but his family escaped to the West of Germany before the wall went down in 1989. As a young boy, he fed his interest in music by recording music on cassette tapes, as there was no way to buy records in East Germany. It was only in the time that he and his family moved to the West, that he got access to all the music which he had been recording on tapes and this is when his real passion for collecting music was born. In the early 90ties he started to go out and meet people from the nightlife scene of his new hometown Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf has always played an important role in the underground music scene. Many important bands such as Kraftwerk come from Düsseldorf.
With the first money that D-Nox made after he had left school, he was able to buy himself all of the important equipment needed to start the art of mixing vinyl records.
Around 1992 was the first time he got booked to play in a nightclub and by 1993 he became a professional DJ. These early years made D-Nox one of the most booked DJs in his region, with numerous gigs in his hometown and other cities near by. In 2001 he started to work as A&R for the record label Tatsu. This job taught him even more about the music scene and inspired him to start his own record label Sprout Music in 2003.
In 2004 he met Beckers and both started the form the famous duo D-Nox & Beckers which was responsible for many underground club hits such as „Jetlag Slave“, „Memory Cell“, „Seven Hours“ and many others. In 2007 the duo D-Nox & Beckers won the price for best selling progressive house artist in Beatport.com and in 2010 the duo won the DJ award for best progressive house artist. 
D-Nox & Beckers have released 3 albums; in 2007 “Left Behind”, in 2009 “Big City Lights” and in 2011 “Distance”. Since 2004 the duo have released more than 50 EPs and made over 70 remixes. Until today, D-Nox & Beckers still receive a lot of recognition and respect, and continue to play shows all around the world together.  But due D-Nox’s change of location in 2016 when he moved to South America, he is now focusing again on his solo gigs, with current shows booked in Germany, Belgium, Japan, Turkey, Israel, Australia, Russia, Poland, Costa Rica, Hungary, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and many more to follow.  
Along with D-Nox’s change of location from Germany to South America, a few new collaboration partnerships in the studio were formed. One of them together with Victor Ruiz, one of the most demanded DJs of today.  Together Victor and D-Nox produced ‘Arise’ which was released on Sudbeat Recordings in 2016, the label belonging to Hernan Cattaneo. This track became one of the most played tracks in sets of DJ’s all around the world. They followed up this release, with a second best seller in 2017 on Sudbeat from Victor Ruiz and D-Nox, called ‚Pure’. Another new collaboration made with Stereo Underground, a very well respect producer from Israel „Dolby“ has reached number 1 in Beatport, the world wide leading digital store for DJs and was holding the top position for over 3 month. The pandemic month have d-nox become way more creative in his studio than he ever was before and his discography has just grown bigger and bigger. Its is now over 20 years that D-Nox is traveling all around the world and keeps on moving the dance floors.

Filmriss was born in Hannover, Germany. Being exposed to electronic music since his early ages, and having experienced a good amount of Drum’n’Bass and Techno acts, Filmriss started to DJ soon after, feeling the need to give the art of DJing his very own interpretation. Little time having passed, he started playing at smaller gigs around Hannover, gaining experience and developing a better feel for his style. Moving through different types of techno in his early years, he felt somewhat disconnected with the development and the direction the scene was moving and therefore decided to feel out the Drum’n’Bass scene, as he’d been a close follower ever since he was first exposed to it. His style is loud and dirty, with a great variety of current, as well as older tracks, with a mixing style that is fast paced and leaves no time to keep your feet still.

Check out his sets and judge for yourself.
