It´s not easy to find the right words for Krischmann & Klingenberg.
Are they progressive and dark or playful and melodic?
The answer is simply “YES!”

The names of Bastian Krischmann & Oliver Klingenberg are a synonym for driving percussions, powerful basslines and characteristic soundscapes. Progressive, dark, playful and melodic as well! Their productions clearly bear their own signature and with their endless passion they are able to set a course and affect the whole scene. Originally from Berlin and influenced by “old-school” techno as well as by a classical music education, the duo steadily provides novel and expressive output and inspires a new “techno-generation”. They always strike new paths, steadily reinvent their selves and don´t care about stereotypes.
Well-known labels like Naked Lunch, Driving Forces, I.CNTRL or Elektrax are the home of their productions, as well as various charts of famous DJs around the globe.

The Cologne-based guys are performing dynamic, varied and impulsive techno-sets when they are on stage. Krischmann & Klingenberg are a perfect unit behind the decks and their long-lasting and close friendship since 1999 was the ideal base to form that over the years.
During their gigs in clubs like the legendary “Tresor” in Berlin and festivals like “Nature One” or “Ruhr in Love” they always feel homelike, while their sound is considered a trend-setting German export in other parts of the world like South America, South Africa, Russia and all other parts of Europe.

Krischmann & Klingenberg are breaking new ground and present themselves in an energetic, innovative and fresh way.

Is this techno?
The answer is simply “YES!”

SCHILLER’s musical language knows no bounds, which may explain why, as SCHILLER, he’s achieved such huge success over the last 15 years. His endless musical and visual curiosity has won him legions of fans around the world.
 
With anthems like DAS GLOCKENSPIEL – a UK top-5 hit – SCHILLER creates electronica with an emotional core. Since he started taking his live shows on the road, SCHILLER has made a worldwide name for himself. His sell-out tours have delighted hundreds of thousands of fans with their stunning and sophisticated use of surround-sound and breathtaking, state-of-the-art light shows.
 
Always seeking out new influences and ideas, SCHILLER has already looked to the classical world for inspiration. One of SCHILLER’S best-selling tracks, EIN SCHÖNER TAG – ONE FINE DAY – samples the famous aria of the same name from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, while a productive collaboration with star pianist Lang Lang led to the hit single TIME FOR DREAMS.
Since then, VON DEYLEN’s desire to take SCHILLER further down the classical road has kept on growing. In early 2013 he traveled to the mountains of California and immersed himself in their natural beauty, using the energy the landscape gave him to create his latest album, OPUS, a seamless blend of classical and electronic soundworlds.
 
An instant hit in his native Germany, OPUS not only went straight to No.1, it sold more units in its first week than any other debut classical album and received GOLD STATUS only a couple of weeks after its release.
 
A voyage of discovery into the world of classical music, OPUS reveals an exciting new side to this artist, yet there’s no mistaking the unique SCHILLER sound.
 
SCHILLER - The journey continues.

As they gear up to celebrate 20 years of riotous marauding, the Dub Pistols are prepping their seventh as-yet-untitled album in 2017 and there’ll be a documentary about the band dropping at some point in the year, too. And they’ll be out on the road, as usual, of course — the hardest working band in showbiz.

A kinda 21st century equivalent of 2-Tone acts The Specials or The Beat, the Dub Pistols are the quintessential festival band. Coming over a bit like if King Tubby and The Skatalites bumped into Terry Hall at a Goldie gig, the Dubs have reached their two decade milestone with a lot of ups and downs along the way. 

They’ve worked with vocal legends like Rodney P, Busta Rhymes, Gregory Isaacs, Terry Hall, Lindy Layton, Akala and Horace Andy, while the band’s mainstays are fiercely loyal and dedicated. An unorthodox collective of musicians who each have their own personal interests and solo projects, when they come together to form the Dub Pistols some dubwise magic happens.

The rhythm section of Jack (drums) and Dave (bass) are granite-solid, and guitarist Andreas (or sometimes the rock & roll stand-in, Johnny Rockstar) provides all sorts of licks and skanking chords to nice up the dance. The brass section is on fire, and rapper Seanie Tee brings the mic skills to complement main man Barry Ashworth perfectly. They’re a proper gang of outlaws, rebels with a cause, renegade outsiders who know how to bring the good times. If you haven’t seen the Pistols yet
Barry might be the heart, face and mouth of the Dubs, but they are still very much a band — as tight as fuck, and yet able to cut loose to rock venues to the core. Tracks like epic drum & bass cut ‘Gunshot’, ska ditty ’Problem Is’, early beat-freak single ‘Cyclone’ and singalong anthem ‘Mucky Weekend’ have become firm fan favourites, and onstage see the band getting deep, down and dirty. With a nod to their ska influence, and the fact that Terry Hall was an honorary Dub Pistol for a few years, they still do a lively version of ‘Gangsters’ - The Specials’ first ever single. But otherwise it’s all their own work — the back catalogue is rich in flavas.

“The next album is actually a bit more chilled-out than the last two,” says Barry. “It’s still a classic Dub Pistols album, but ‘Return Of The Pistoleros’ and ‘Worshipping The Dollar’ were more club-orientated — leaning more towards peak-time bangers. This album is a bit more relaxed, with a smoked-out reggae vibe — although there are still a couple of bangers on there.”

The guests on the next album read like a who’s who of conscious styles. Dancehall dons Beenie Man and Cutty Ranks, reggae singer Earl16, young hip-hop act Too Many T's, seminal MCs Navigator and the Ragga Twins, and long-time collaborator Lindy Layton (and dope rapper Genesis Elijah??) all bring their unique talents. Some of these will be appearing with the Dubs live over the coming year as the band present a history lesson in all the different bases they’ve covered over the past two decades. With added bass!

Band members may have come and gone, but the progression of the core of the band is constant. “It’s never like everyone leaves at once,” says Barry. “People’s priorities change: they get married or have kids and the lifestyle isn't for them anymore, so they leave — but luckily not all at the same time. So someone new comes in, and suddenly it feels like a new band.”
