Whether it’s behind the scenes or behind the decks, Marcus Meinhardt is definitely one of the most active members of the German club scene. The thirty-something Dj has defined the Berlin sound with his countless club gigs including his residency at the world renowned Watergate club. He is also a welcome guest on the international electronic parquet with his elegant, hypnotizing sets and sympathetic nature. He is a true character in the electronic music scene. Marcus is also a well known party organizer in and around Berlin; the Home Sweet Home parties have taken the cities best after hour locations by storm,. The famed Muna-Tent at the SonneMondSterne Festival would not be where it is today if it wasn’t for Markus’ co organization and closing sets.

He was born in the quiet county of Thüringen, where, once infected by the techno bug, he soon took up residency at the Muna, one of East Germany’s most renowned clubs. During this time he and the Muna team began organizing the SonneMondSterne-Festival, which, today is one of Europe’s largest and most famous Open Air’s.

Marcus finally moved to Berlin in 2002 where he took a head dive into the pulsating club scene that gave him enough room to experiment musically. This inspired him to begin producing his own tracks. His first EP was released in 2006 on Micro.Fon. In the beginning of 2007 Markus and his friends Marco Resmann and Hawks Grunert founded the label Upon You, which has managed to establish itself as one of the most important Tech-House-Labels in such short a time. His fine sense of Intuition for the dance floor can be detected when listening to his subtle arrangements and finely balanced sounds. Proof being »Drive It Mad Max«, »Pacey Lynn«, or »Jerry Lee« which are among the most successful Upon You releases to date. The Superflu Remix of Mad Max even made it on to Beatport’s »Best Underground Sellers 2009« list.

Marcus has learned a lot about the specialties of the music business through his work with Upon You. His commitment has made the label nights in Berlin’s Panorama Bar and arena club, Stuttgart’s Romy S and the international venues in Barcelona, Amsterdam and Milan as successful as they are. Marcus also helped to find new artists for the label Upon You. These days, Resmann and Grunert continue with the labelwork of Upon You while Meinhardt focus solely on his creative output.

In 2010 and 2011 he concentrated on his music production and travelled through the world presenting his musical ideas. On his journey Marcus was influenced and inspired by many musical genres and artists. As a result, Marcus decided to found his own Label called „Heinz-Music“ this forward thinking label will be a platform where his fellow artists and friends can have fun with and enjoy a musical experience mainly orientated on dance floor music.

Pierre Deutschmann, born in Berlin, passed almost every musical genre there is on his way as a producer & dj and ended up with the sound he´s producing today, - Electronica / Techno.

If we have a closer look at his work for the last 20 years it is quite hard to imagine that all this is done by only one person - Deutschmann is definitely something we can call a musical workaholic.

During his time as „just“ a producer he had the chance to work with well known artists such as Robbie Rivera, Louis Vega, Justice, Rockers HiFi & Dj Pierre, just to mention a few. 

In 2008 Deutschmann founded his first imprint „k:lender recordings“, 2009 the techno-edition „k:lender limited“ was following. After a short period of time the next „strictly Techno“ division was born: „XLR1507“ - his youngest Imprint which was established in 2011 and is now growing fast.

With upcoming Labelshowcases, inviting the finest Techno Dj´s of the globe to join him, he´s up for the next challenge - playing thriving extended sets at AREA1507.

In his studio, Pierre Deutschmann is always working on sounds that have the ability to catch every listener. His tool is a perfect working development in his set, playing smooth but rough, with a downgrade of surprise while mixing it with his huge repertoire of own productions.

Constantly on the lookout for great partners where to release his music, he found labels like H-Productions, Unrilis & Skeleton to support his work. Getting remixed by longtime player´s like Cari Lekebusch and Luigi Madonna, getting played by Berghain residents Marcel Dettmann & Ben Klock, and from time to time u can also find his work in Adam Beyer´s playlist on the Drumcode Radioshows - Pierre Deutschmann is on a promising way.

Where the two actually originate, nobody knows for sure. Rumors have it that they once had a common love for sprat fishing and point their fateful meeting to somewhere on the North German Coast.
If you believe the various rumors, Zadak lost his pants in a raid by the Department of Fish and Game, while Kotelett, due to an overdose of moonshine, lost his Boating License. Both lost their Fishing Licenses and, whoops!, there went their livelihood...
What was left for them to do but abscond to the interior, a bleary-eyed and shady escape to where no one knew them by name. "From now on ...." one of the two is said to have mumbled into his beard; which one is still not known. All in all it was a perfectly logical development, since the nights were rough anyway and the lamest things always ended up in the Net...if all catfish are gray.
And so, control rod was quickly exchanged with controller, stroke side with backspin, and fog horn with fog machine. What was formerly filleted, is now being filtered, what was being caught, is now pitched. Since then they have never again scrubbed the decks, but instead record from them.
Now, wherever they drop their anchor: there blows a strong bass-breeze, sound waves rise and no shot glass remains dry. Every Mermaid has exchanged her ingenue for a good pair of dance shoes and goes crazy from the unmistakable sound of the two self-acclaimed Club- Irish. Whosoever doesn't hold tight to the bar will be swept away like the sprats in the net.
Even after days-long sets and a potently boozy fee, a glance into the crowd of faces, tanned by the thick club air, reveals all: Kotelett and Zadak remain uncompromised and bring together that which belongs together - music and magic moments.
(The Department of Fish and Game would like to add: "We are simply happy to be rid of them.")

Berlin Boom Orchestra steht für modernen, tanzbaren Reggae jenseits des gängigen Klischees vom tiefenentspannten Feel-Good-Gedudel. Direkt aus den dreckigen Clubs der Hauptstadt trifft Fickfinger-Attitüde auf Lovers Rock, Pro-Homo auf knallharten Dancehall und kritische Theorie auf urbane Bassmusik. Die neunköpfige Kapelle um den Sänger Filou überzeugt eine seit 2006 stetig wachsende Fanbase davon, dass Rub-A-Dub-Style auch einwandfrei auf Deutsch funktioniert.
Berlin Boom Orchestra klingt dabei wie… Berlin Boom Orchestra und das sollte man besser einfach gehört und gesehen haben.

''Imagination'' is out now! 🙏🏻

There is no doubt, artists generate – especially in our scene - hypes occur again and again. Be it a good track or an unforgettable DJ-Set. However, these come and go as quickly as they have emerged. And there is also something happening in this scene, which is quite apparent: It happens relatively fast. In Germany, the motherland of the electronic music, an artist has seldom managed to infringe at the same time upon such widely spread generations and masses. It is not by coincidence, that ideas like „German Techno Master“ (DJ Mag) or countless first grade placings originate in the process of the scene votings. Meanwhile one can also hardly keep up counting his fanclubs, who welcome him with frenetic exultation spreading across the entire republic and far beyond.
