Lucy is the nom de techno of Italian-born and Berlin-based Luca Mortellaro, one of the genre’s most exciting and ambitious DJ/producers. Since 2009, Mortellaro has focused his work through his own Stroboscopic Artefacts label, building an imprint and personal discography that has established itself as one of techno’s finest.
Lucy (née Luca Mortellaro) is one of the pre-eminent sonic adventurers of his time. Not bound to conventional pre-conceptions of what an electronic musician, producer, or DJ must be, Lucy has evolved his distinct sound signature by reconciling the deeply personal with the esoteric, and by harmonizing the spheres of technology and biology. In doing so, he has become rare as an artist, in his ability to please an audience while also introducing them to elements they were not yet familiar with and thereby pushing them out of their comfort zone. Whether he is acting in the role of producer, DJ, performer, or Stroboscopic Artefacts’ curator, Lucy’s clear passion for creative evolution and mutation is something that continues to attract new listeners, and keeps giving his current supporters new reasons to continue tuning in.

Roberto (real name: Rob Kirkaldy) is a London based Techno producer, DJ and Remixer. Considered to be one of the most exciting new UK Techno artists in recent years, he combines influences from Detroit and Amsterdam to create his own sound unique to the UK.

As a DJ, he brings a special energy to the dance floor that is the product of many years of dedication to the craft. Never one to let an audience get bored, his sets explore many angles of techno, which has seen him play at some of the most well respected clubs around the world, including fabric in London and both Tresor and Berghain in Berlin. His DJ skills have also made him a popular choice for podcasters, having been called upon to deliver mixes for esteemed shows like the CLR Podcast, Slam Radio and Electric Deluxe.

With an already impressive discography, Roberto has built his production credits with EPs on the likes of Rekids, Fachwerk, ARTS, Solar Phenomena and Obscura, as well as a host of remixes for artists like Jamie Anderson, Roberto Clementi, DJ Rolando and Shinedoe. His own tracks have been remixed by artists such as Steve Rachmad (Sterac), Mike Dehnert, Trevino and Peverelist.

At the beginning of 2015, Roberto launched his own Fossil Archive label. Predominantly a vinyl label (though releases are also available digitally), the ethos of the imprint is that it must not compromise on the sound.

As Roberto said in a recent interview with Data Transmission: “I love the fact that you can hold a piece of music in your hands. They are art pieces in their own right. Music is the product of many years of development; much like a fossil that can be buried deep underground for millions of years, until it is discovered. I wanted to ensure the music is of the highest quality, which means not rushing things.”

We’re also booking Fossil Archive label showcases!

An unequivocal industry visionary, DJ Hell's career has embodied and then transcended his many guises: Anti-Superstar DJ, International DeeJay Gigolo Label Boss, GQ Man of the Year, Playboy, Jetsetter, Bon Viveur, Munich Machine, New York Muscle. Seeing, and envisioning - that is of enormous relevance to Hell. He managed to convey pure artistic prowess as well as pure style during his thirty year DJ career. The individual look, the do-it-yourself approach, the elitism. That's how it grew.

OUT NOW:  Lady Tazz - Hechicera [OM016] 
https://www.beatport.com/track/hechicera/18596800

Techno Potions Playlist: 
https://bit.ly/LadyTazzTechnoPotions

Lady Tazz is here to emancipate the dance floor and everyone on it. Her darkly alluring techno offers an escape from normality. Inspired by her own experiences as a Canadian-Bangladeshi outsider, she wants to bring people together regardless of gender, ethnicity, race and sexual preference. The Mind Medizin label she curates is an extension of her sound - kinky techno with subliminal rhythms that liberate your erotic innocence.

Lady Tazz now has a global reputation having played the cult likes of E1 London, ://about blank in Berlin and Video Club in Bogota, as well as further afield around Europe. Her label's releases have had high-profile support from techno’s A list, while her own heady and hypnotic productions on Rekids’ offshoot RSPX have showcased what she is all about: atmospheric soundscapes with raw textures, erotic moods and mind-melting synths all topped off with ethereal vocals that lodge deep in the soul.

Tazz is a global citizen who found freedom in the rave at the age of just 16. But it was a trip to Berlin that really showed her the power of repetitive beats so she developed the Lady Tazz alter ego and has been on the rise ever since. In the meantime, she completed a degree in Psychology and has helped to run the family business in Bangladesh, where she also started the first English-speaking radio station. It was a huge success and saw Lady Tazz win several awards as well as host her own forward-thinking show. As the show grew, it helped Lady Tazz pick up fans around the world while also helping to drive forwards an all-new underground scene in Bangladesh.

Cultural expectations on women back home meant the keen young artist had to make secret trips abroad to learn the art of production. When she eventually revealed her project to the world, she was bullied online and backlash followed her every move. Fortunately, her family was on her side and empowered her to carry on down her own path. "I don’t need anything back from anyone," she says. "I just want everyone to find peace from within.”

The cultural disruptor also hosts her own basement parties under the Techno Bunker banner. She's had 500 people in there and they have a truly illicit feel as having any party in Bangladesh can be a real challenge. "It’s very risky and scary to throw any events as we can get into trouble with law, have media come with cameras and bring extreme shame to our families," she says. "Plus, since we come from a brown society, being a DJ is looked down upon so it’s a constant battle. It’s always important to me to provide a safe space for the community so we can dance with our friends. When we do that in Bangladesh it feels the most liberating because it’s a battle to throw a single event so when we do, we win."

The Mind Medizin label also helps her on her mission. It is an ecosystem of self-expression with its own sporadic events around the world where people are free to explore the dark and mysterious, the seductive and the shadowy. Like Lady Tazz herself, it has a kinky undercurrent and channels an alluring sexual energy into all new forms of techno escapism.
