Combining a love of solid Chicago house with an at times obscure minimal aesthetique, Heidi Mari has been turning heads for close to a decade with her precise, moody and subtle take on house. In the underground of Helsinki she is part of a breed of dj:s having put in the hours to carve out a name for herself etched within determination and powered by hours of steady digging.

Born and raised in Gera in Germany, Dana Ruh soon found her way to the capital city of Berlin. Since then, she ha been on a constantly evolving musical journey. In the early years, her sound was rooted in techno and landed most often on the label Brouqade Records, which she established in 2007. The label is still running too, and celebrated its 10th Year Birthday Celebration entitled 'Past/Present/Future' that emphatically encapsulated all that's great about the label. 
Aside from Brouqade, Dana's music has also featured on the liked of Autoreply, Work Them Records, Howl and Underground Quality. It was Jus Ed's label where she released her stunning debut album. 'Naturally' in 2014, an LP that introduced Dana to a whole new audience and showcased her pure house sound with some distinctions. In 2017 she started her new Label 'Cave Recordings' that showcased her wide musical range mainly rooted in House with old school flavor. 
When she isn't busy in the studio crafting textured tracks, Dana is a fine DJ who holds down resident duties at top Berlin space, Club der Visionaere. It is there that she lays down seductive tracks from the worlds of house and techno as well as gems in between. Aside from her beloved CDV, Dana has played in some of the globe's foremost house and techno nightclubs, often alongside some of the scene's prime movers and shakers. 
Despite working in such an over saturated and competitive field, Dana Ruh manages to speak louder and more coherently that most, and for that reason she deserves all the love she gets.

In 2000, Mike Deem started as an administrator of the then partyforum ‘Partyguide.be’. He accumulated a huge collection of photographs and provided numerous interviews with renowned domestic and foreign artists. This took him to national and international events, to various stages and backstages, only to be immersed in the then Techno scene.

By DJs such as James Ruskin, Surgeon, Luke Slater, Female and Regis, to name but a few, Mike Deem discovered that there is much more to Techno than meets the eye. 
Inspired by this UK and Industrial approach to electronic music, he bought some turntables, a mixer and a few monitors. 
He was now in search for his mojo by mixing at parties and small events in places like Decadance and also The Zoo (Hasselt). He participated in some DJ contests and was selected in 2006 to mix in "the young talent corner" at Kozzmozz. On the 12th anniversary of this Belgian renowned Techno event he played in the Ultra Room. 

This time was especially characterized by making fun and it all tasted like more. He was very eager, already making some name and sometimes even played with 3 decks... until Mike Deem abruptly took a break in 2007. 

Fortunately, this period ended in 2013. Mike Deem was back and stronger than before. Together with Mathiew Houzen he founded the humbly party concept 'Electronic All Starz' and music became his outlet in which he experimented with Traktorscratch and some hardware tools. This new way of mixing and his period of rest and research led him to an appreciation of the more darker sounds in electronic music. He was triggered by the way how producers like Ø [Phase], Rødhåd, Shifted, seduce the listeners with a blend of melancholy, deep sad pads with an outspoken rhythm which leads you to darker places. 

Through all the experiments with hardware and setup possibilities, Mike Deem is now ready to explore the world and to amaze with his deep, atmospheric, dark ambient and sometimes melancholic acid melody and bass lines which result in a somewhat hypnotic Techno. He is still looking to renew and likes to use new talented producers to color in his sets. With his current hybrid setup, which includes Traktor, a mixer, some hardware elements and live intermezzo's with his Tr-8, the boundary between art and pure entertainment becomes blurred . His mixing sessions give the listener some kind of psychedelic sense of ecstasy and satisfaction. 

In other words, you can say that Mike Deem takes you on an intriguing mystical journey and immerses you, through various routes and dark places in a in a comfy setting, to safely take you along, with an off-beat motion to your destination.
