Sam Bottoni was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the US and has been drawn to UK-inspired sounds since the late ‘90s. He began his DJ career by playing vinyl in small venues and parties in downtown Milwaukee while dabbling in music production. After moving to Chicago in 2000 to study music at DePaul University, DJing became a regular part of weekend life, including supporting international headliners. Living blocks away from Gramaphone Records, crate-digging was a passion. In 2004, he took another step in his music career and moved to Miami, Florida to earn a Masters Degree in Electronic Music Composition from the University of Miami Frost School of Music. Putting DJing aside for several years, he dove into generative music synthesis and performance utilizing Max/MSP, CSound, and Reaktor. After moving back to Wisconsin, Sam continued to hone his skills creating digital music. He has since gone back to his roots and first love, DJing in his home state and creating music combining new and classic techniques that often hark back to the golden age of UK breaks and jungle. Sam exploded onto the breaks circuit with two signed releases in 2022 including a debut work with @yukumusic and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.

Hidden Element is electronic act from Kyiv, Ukraine. By blending elements of breakbeat, techno and ambient, producer Igor Kirilenko creates forward-thinking music with shifty rhythms, cinematic samples and deep textures. Inspired by classic sci-fi movies, it’s a perfect soundtrack both for crowded ecstatic club nights and solitary mind-wandering.

Igor began releasing tracks as Hidden Element in 2011, firstly as a duo with Nil Tarasov, and now as a solo project. Over the years he released music on various labels including Med School, Pinecone Moonshine, Alphacut, Silent Season, YUKU. 

Project’s track “I See The Light” (feat. Kiyomi Yamashita) was noted by DJ Mag as “Track of the Month”. Track “Reload, Replay” was played by Steve Lamacq on BBC1Xtra. Debut LP “Together” released on Absys Records in 2016 received a number of positive reviews and warm feedback from El Hornet (Pendulum), Ulrich Schnauss and other producers. 

Hidden Element also created official remixes for a variety of artists, from British drum’n’bass legend London Elektricity to Ukrainian pop-singer and Eurovision winner Jamala.

In 2020–2021 Hidden Element manifested a new ambitious chapter with EP trilogy “Comparisons” / “Kontinuum” / “Cycles”. Packed with intense contemporary breakbeat and seasoned with high class remixes from Throwing Snow, Andre Bratten, Prayer, Cocktail Party Effect, these EPs earned praise from Mixmag Japan, Mixmag UK, Mixmag Brazil, BARKS, Qetic, Inverted Audio etc. A bunch of tracks from the trilogy was also aired on BBC Radio 1 in numerous guest mixes.
