Whether it’s behind the scenes or behind the decks, Marcus Meinhardt is definitely one of the most active members of the German club scene. The thirty-something Dj has defined the Berlin sound with his countless club gigs including his residency at the world renowned Watergate club. He is also a welcome guest on the international electronic parquet with his elegant, hypnotizing sets and sympathetic nature. He is a true character in the electronic music scene. Marcus is also a well known party organizer in and around Berlin; the Home Sweet Home parties have taken the cities best after hour locations by storm,. The famed Muna-Tent at the SonneMondSterne Festival would not be where it is today if it wasn’t for Markus’ co organization and closing sets.

He was born in the quiet county of Thüringen, where, once infected by the techno bug, he soon took up residency at the Muna, one of East Germany’s most renowned clubs. During this time he and the Muna team began organizing the SonneMondSterne-Festival, which, today is one of Europe’s largest and most famous Open Air’s.

Marcus finally moved to Berlin in 2002 where he took a head dive into the pulsating club scene that gave him enough room to experiment musically. This inspired him to begin producing his own tracks. His first EP was released in 2006 on Micro.Fon. In the beginning of 2007 Markus and his friends Marco Resmann and Hawks Grunert founded the label Upon You, which has managed to establish itself as one of the most important Tech-House-Labels in such short a time. His fine sense of Intuition for the dance floor can be detected when listening to his subtle arrangements and finely balanced sounds. Proof being »Drive It Mad Max«, »Pacey Lynn«, or »Jerry Lee« which are among the most successful Upon You releases to date. The Superflu Remix of Mad Max even made it on to Beatport’s »Best Underground Sellers 2009« list.

Marcus has learned a lot about the specialties of the music business through his work with Upon You. His commitment has made the label nights in Berlin’s Panorama Bar and arena club, Stuttgart’s Romy S and the international venues in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Milan as successful as they are. Marcus also helped to find new artists for the label Upon You. These days, Resmann and Grunert continue with the labelwork of Upon You while Meinhardt focus solely on his creative output.

In 2010 and 2011 he concentrated on his music production and travelled through the world presenting his musical ideas. On his journey Marcus was influenced and inspired by many musical genres and artists. As a result, Marcus decided to found his own Label called „Heinz-Music“ this forward thinking label will be a platform where his fellow artists and friends can have fun with and enjoy a musical experience mainly orientated on dance floor music.

To say Stephan Zovsky's career started in 2019 would be wrong. It would omit any mention of the two decades of DJing he’s got under his belt already, with countless gigs all over the place. It would omit any mention of his 2010 album ‘The Village’, produced with long-year musical partner Sandro Schäufler. It would omit any mention of his first set as Green Lake Project in 2016. No, to say his career started in 2019 would be plain out wrong.

Yet 2019 is a milestone year in the life of this prolific creative from Mecklenburg Vorpommern, that rural North-Eastern corner of Germany. It's the year his ‘Connect EP’ is out on 3000Grad Records, the first of a perpetual string of releases. It's the year Stephan Zovsky starts his own label Sueslide, a launching pad for his growing musical output that finally meets his notoriously high quality standards towards himself. It's also the year ‘GLP’ drops - the debut album of Green Lake Project, his successful joint venture with Mollono.Bass.

His ever increasing skill level as a DJ and producer resonates intensely with the scene and its dancefloors: His tracks rank high in prestigious charts. His inbox is flooded with remix requests, some even from rather remote music scenes like Indie or Trance. He is invited to perform his Stephan Zovsky liveact at Fusion Festival's famous Turmbühne in 2021.

His diverse background and tireless productivity make it impossible to pin Stephan Zovsky down to a particular genre. Anyway, mentioning his name in one breath with the term ‘Melodic Techno’ doesn't make him frown; the terms ‘tool-like’, ‘DJ-oriented’ or ‘club-ready’ make him smile. You won't hear him playing obvious bawl-along hits, but neither will you hear him playing nerdy, overly intellectual tunes. His understated, functional style sits comfortably in the middle, making him the perfect prime time artist for those moments when it's all about no-frills, strictly-thrills dancefloor ecstasy.

Es wäre falsch zu behaupten, die Geschichte von Stephan Zovsky hätte 2019 ihren Anfang. Das würde verschweigen, dass er an diesem Punkt schon auf zwei Jahrzehnte als DJ zurückblickt, auf unzählige Auftritte an ebenso vielen Orten. Es würde sein 2010 erschienenes Album ‘The Village’ unerwähnt lassen, das zusammen mit seinem langjährigen Musik-Partner Sandro Schäufler entstanden ist. Es würde sein erstes Green Lake Projekt Set im Jahre 2016 unterschlagen. Nein, es wäre wirklich falsch zu behaupten, diese Geschichte hätte 2019 ihren Anfang.

Und doch ist 2019 ein entscheidendes Jahr für diesen umtriebigen und ideenreichen Charakter aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Es ist das Jahr, in dem seine ‘Connect EP’ auf 3000Grad Records erscheint, und mit ihr beginnt ein kontinuierlicher Strom von Veröffentlichungen, der seither nicht mehr abreißt. Es ist das Jahr, in dem Stephan Zovsky sein eigenes Label Sueslide startet, als unabhängige Veröffentlichungsplattform für seine immer zahlreicher werdenden Produktionen, die nun endlich seinem äußerst selbstkritischen Qualitätsanspruch gerecht werden. Es ist das Jahr, in dem 'GLP' erscheint, das erste Album von Green Lake Project, seinem erfolgreichen Gemeinschaftsprojekt mit Mollono.Bass.

Seine beständig wachsende Kunstfertigkeit hinterlässt in der Szene und auf ihren Dancefloors einen deutlich spürbaren Eindruck: Seine Tracks tauchen regelmäßig in viel beachteten Charts auf. Ihn erreichen immer mehr Anfragen für Remixes, sogar aus recht weit entfernten Szenen wie etwa dem Indie- oder Trance-Umfeld. Er wird mit seinem Stephan Zovsky Liveact auf die sagenumwobene Turmbühne des Fusion Festivals 2021 eingeladen.

Mit Blick auf seinen vielfältigen Hintergrund und seine unermüdliche Produktivität ist es schlichtweg unmöglich, Stephan Zovsky einem bestimmten Genre zuzuordnen. Wenn wir ihn in einem Atemzug mit dem Begriff 'Melodic Techno' erwähnen, dann runzelt er zumindest nicht die Stirn; wenn wir Begriffe wie 'toolartig', 'DJ-tauglich' oder 'tanzflächenkompatibel’' verwenden, dann schmunzelt er. Vorhersehbare Mitgröhl-Hits gibt es von ihm ebenso wenig zu hören wie allzu verkopften Frickel-Sound. Mit seinen funktionalen und doch subtilen Sets passt er ideal in jene Art von Spitzenzeit, in der es ganz ohne Hype und Schnickschnack einfach nur gediegen zur Sache gehen soll.

Since 2012 Paris XY have developed their unique sound. Combining vocals and guitar with live analogue synths, drum machines and atmospheric soundscapes. Lyricism is brought to the fore, influenced by Joy Division, Radiohead and Edgar Allan Poe, subjected to Smith’s Blues powerful delivery. Orvis' production is rooted in Scandinavian and eastern European inspiration, predominantly Trentemøller, GusGus and The Knife. At Beacons festival and Galtres Paris XY supported Daughter, XXYYXX and British Sea Power on the Loud and Quiet stage, as well as playing between Morcheeba and Tricky. 2014 has also seen the duo on tour in Germany and Holland in July, showcasing in Berlin, and following that with the Poland dates supporting GusGus on their world tour; 6 soldout shows and a final date playing Berghain Main Club on September 24th.

Wytching Hour will be the band's 7th single release, leaving only EP004 left before the debut album in 2015. Following the disturbed psyche of the everyday man, the narrative indulges in debauched temptations of modern society. Take from it what you want, the ambiguity allows every listener to take their own dark path. Lyrics and music taunt each other, a pulsing bassline matched with the chanting vocal line weaves a hypnotic devilled dance.

“Take the dark side of Trentemoller, Gui Borrato and Apparat and add the smoky, sultry voice of Alice Smith doing it in the vein of The Knife and you get Paris XY”  Bad Fotography

“Haunting synthetic lullabies that are drenched in darkness but also sometimes feel like a rave event in a nightly forest. PARIS XYare many things but mainly a promising new act that deserves to get more attention.” NBHAP

“That they have attracted the attention of Icelanders electric veterans with only two EPs , says something about the pull of their music.” Noisey

“Seemingly inhabiting two different worlds, James Orvis’ contemporary electronica and Alice Smith’s gothic, vintage-sounding vocals meet in the middle to create the alluring sound of Paris XY. Haunting and atmospheric, as though a purring ‘50s jazz singer were cast adrift in a Berlin nightclub”  Beacons Festival

“There is something strangely hypnotic in particular about the vocals of Alice Smith that in sound evokes the smoldering qualities of Lana del Rey but with the dark lyrical content of Portishead or Crystal Castles.” Commercial Free

Info:
Rey&Kjavik is the alias of Alexander Schomann (https://soundcloud.com/alexanderschomann), DJ and producer from Offenbach, Germany. His musical home lies within the realm of Organic and Deep Electronica — hypnotic grooves and meditative rhythms flowing together in one space. Tracks like “Baba City”, “Saraswati” or “Esha” reflect his signature approach: immersive, emotional, and grounded in a deep sense of movement and connection.

His unique sound world has become instantly recognizable — a blend of depth, warmth, and spiritual drive that resonates far beyond the dance floor. With releases on his own imprint RKJVK, Rey&Kjavik has carved out a distinct voice within electronic music — fluid, evolving, and unmistakably his own. His work extends beyond the club sphere: he curated and produced a Buddha-Bar compilation, composed the soundtrack for a Chloé fashion campaign, and his music has been featured in films and television productions around the globe. His sound carries the imprint of his travels and his roots in Frankfurt and Offenbach — cities defined by cultural openness and international energy. It is a dialogue between the global and the local, shaped by exploration, contrasts, and a continuous search for connection through sound.

Known for his exceptional feel for remixing and reinterpretation, Rey&Kjavik’s reworks for artists such as Danit, Mogli, and Yuma have reached millions of streams worldwide, resonating far beyond genre borders and reinforcing his reputation for creating deeply atmospheric and emotionally charged versions that stand on their own.

From underground clubs like Watergate Berlin to sunsets and sunrises at Scorpios Mykonos, Burning Man, Fusion Festival, or the Biennale in Bukhara, Rey&Kjavik’s performances unfold as immersive sonic journeys — moments of elevation, release, and collective transcendence.
