Ryan Dank/Toke Ekelund

Residing in Copenhagen and with more than 14 years of experience as a professional Dj, Ryan Dank is a passionate and driving force of the Copenhagen club scene. Aside from being a dedicated music lover and record collector, Ryan is also a producer, who has been featured on collaborative white label projects as well as independent releases. He has mainly released music under his alias Toke Ekelund, but is primarily focused on his Dj project Ryan Dank, which mostly revolves around Deep- and Funk driven House music, with a twist of Minimal, Acid and Electro.
 
With past residencies at the best clubs in Copenhagen like the infamous, now closed, Dunkel, Jolene, Werkstatt and Culturebox, as well as having played various festivals, and cities across Europe, Ryan has been around the block. This journey has led him to play alongside some of the world's most renowned DJ's in House music, including names like Hunee, Leon Vynehall, Move D, Jimpster, Cinthie, The Revenge, Black Loops and more.
 
He has a strong vision and attitude towards music, which is his gateway to mediate energy from behind the booth. With a background as a drummer his approach as a DJ is well-founded in the understanding of rhythm and groove, which truly shows through his energetic and playful sets. Through his craft he seeks to create a common-ground for his crowd and lives for the special bonds and memories created on the dancefloor.
 
Over the years, Ryan has been a part of various DYI- and club concepts, hosting a long string of parties throughout Copenhagen, with the Danish DJ-collectives Lovestomp, and BGM8S Collective. Nowadays he's a part of the resident DJ roster at Funk Majeure, being a radio host and booker for Radio Arena, as well as working as artist care at Culture Box.

Michael has been on the forefront of many important movements in dance music over the last ten years. With his signature funk-influenced style, he has left his mark across the musical spectrum, sometimes under pseudonyms such as RCMP and Michael The Lion.

He was a part of the multi-genre style of DJing that catapulted his adopted Philadelphia to the pinnacle of the DJ world in the early 2000s. His years of seasoning as a DJ have seen him play all styles imaginable all across the US and Europe.

As a part of the duo RCMP, his work foreshadowed the emergence of Nu-Disco before the genre even had a name. As alter-ego Michael The Lion he is pushing the boundaries of funk in modern dance music.

He is an internationally renowned disco edit-maker, appearing on alongside the likes of Todd Terje and Tom Moulton. He has officially remixed global stars as diverse as Wiz Khalifa, Todd Edwards and Gregor Salto.

He is also is one of the OGs of “Moombahton” – the polyglot global EDM movement that saw DJ Apt One find fame on the BBC, NPR and elsewhere along with pioneers Dave Nada, DJ Sabo, Dillon Francis and more.

He is also a founder and executive of Young Robots Records, and has put out debut records by Solidisco, Nicos Gun, Fashen and more.

DJ Apt One has shared stages with some of the best talents of this generation, including The Rub, Diplo, Tittsworth, Juan Maclean, Treasure Fingers, Nick Catchdubs, Gigamesh, Big Freedia, Blaqstarr, DJ Sega, Sammy Bananas, Spank Rock, Dave Nada, Wale, Dillon Francis, Peanut Butter Wolf, De La Soul, !!!, RJD2, Bonde do Role, DJ Neil Armstrong, The Hood Internet, Anna Lunoe, The Budos Band, The Flaming Lips, Flosstradamus and more..

(Oct, 1986) It was a snowy day on the peak of the Ajusco, and the reptiles –usually congregated in its heights- descended, fleeing hysterically from the tempest. As hospitals tend to be open spaces in the Mexican metropolitan area, it was an easy task for the varied cold-blooded fauna to infiltrate the building where Marco Kalach had been born. In a moment of distraction in his parents behalf (Dr Kalach and Ms León) both exhausted from the multiple hours of pain the birth of their first child imposed, it is believed little Marco was bitten by the most dangerous type of desert lizard in the Mexican Republic. The bite was survived with astonishing velocity. There were nearly no visible immediate side effects, however this early encounter with the monstrous creature left indubitable traces of various diseases. He was raised with love and care yet always with medical struggles related to the previously described incident: a mild case of aphasia, various symptoms shared with those diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome, hypochondria, an uncontrollable sense of creativity and -most visibly- dark circles surrounding his eyes.His inevitable lizard-like behavior is also linked to various difficulties he faced in the area of academics. Expelled as many times as he was admitted to an educational institution, his artistic genius was constantly repressed by the sickening hierarchical values of modern tutelage. With support from his family however (most importantly his little sister who constantly aided him with his tedious literary related assignments) he eventually found the academic freedom he had sought throughout his entire childhood in an exile at a gnome community where he is currently the only gnome.
