This is the Soundcloud account for Hot Chip feautring DJ mixes & podcasts from the band as well as exclusive tracks, remixes, edits and assorted bits and bobs whenever we get around to uploading them. 

Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

Originally from South Africa, Dylan spent most of his adolescence growing up on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. After spending a lot of weekends and free time down by the beach with his family and friends, he became very familiar with the beach vibe and culture that became a part of his everyday life and is now one of the driving forces behind his company and DJ name Yewplay. 

In 2010, Dylan decided it was time to step into a new side of the hospitality industry and started to learn about event management and DJing. With outdoor events being his favorite, he followed the music and event industry down the path of the house music scene which lead him to a mix of outdoor events like beach, pool and boat parties alone side club/lounge and restaurant gigs. With doing a combination of DJing and Event planning, he was able to create the beachie vibe and sound that flowed smoothly together. With this style feeling the most natural to Dylan it has helped him to create a vision that he is still living and working hard on presently. 

After started his Dj career in his home town of Mooloolaba, Dylan moved to Vancouver where he based himself for the next 5 years. Between a mix of bartending and management jobs, Dylan spent time on the side DJing each week, organizing specialty events and boat parties and also planned events in Miami and Cabo, Mexico each year. During this time he has become familiar with areas such as promotions, marketing, artist bookings and brand development. The industry has also given him the understanding of different music venues and genres and how to read the crowd to determine which music to play and what will create a positive experience for the people in the room. 

During the last few years, Dylan has been based in the USA and kept himself very busy. During this time he has DJed in cities like LA, San Francisco, Miami, Denvor and NYC. He created the event Sunset Sounds Cruise with a good friend that takes place on Clearwater Beach. It’s a full day of events with starting on the rooftop over looking the water, then a 3 hour sunset boat party finished with a beach party at the well known Shepards Beach Reaort. The event has sold out the last 4 times and Dylan and Andrew have taken the event from 150 people to now preparing for 600 with the help of bigger boat. During this time he also got booked to do a two week tour in India where he DJed 5 different events in 5 different cities. Being an international traveler, Dylan has thourly enjoyed getting the chance to travel and DJ in different locations.

This year in 2017, being based in Tampa, Florida, Dylan decided to focus full time on music and developing himself as an artist along side organizing a few annual events. Since starting in February, Dylan has been able to pick up 4 weekly residency's playing at Ciccio Water, The Lodge and Green Lemon and dedicates his weekends to working corportare events and private parties. He has also started an annual tour called Heart+Beats Tour that takes place 3 times a year, one being in Florida, USA, one in Cabo, Mexico and the other in Vancouver, Canada. It’s a 3 day tour with nightly events and the days spent giving back to the local community through outreach work and fund raiser events. 

Now working at night, Dylan has had the chance to spend time during the week to help out organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Tampa put a music program together and has also become a board of director for the charity group Where Love Grows which helps teach kids how to cook and tackle childhood hunger. 

With a lot of positive things happening for Dylan, he has been very happy with his decision to focus full time on the music industry.  He looks forward to now incorporating music production into his schedule and to continue growing as an artist and DJing in different locations.
