After beginning life as an experimental side-project for members Paul Maddox and Rich Wakley, Spektre find themselves over a decade later as established and respected features of the Techno landscape.  As a production outfit, they have recently released on such imprints as Elevate, Phobiq and Unrilis, as well as their own Respekt Recordings (now approaching it’s 150th release) to the acclaim of their peers, with the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox and Alan Fitzpatrick among their plaudits. As their near-permanent presence in the Techno download charts confirms, the quality and consistency of Spektre’s studio output is a given.  As performers, Spektre’s unique sound has taken them to some of the biggest and most highly regarded venues worldwide, with frequent bookings by the likes of Space Ibiza, Exit Festival, Pacha Buenos Aires and Burning Man. On stage, their long-standing chemistry and constant desire to experiment always results in an exciting spectacle.

Patrick Topping, the UK’s esteemed DJ, producer, and engineer, has risen to become a globally renowned tastemaker in electronic music. With a career spanning over a decade, his record label and event series, Trick, has now surpassed 100 releases and hosted multiple festivals in Tenerife, Newcastle, and Budapest. Trick has also held residencies, events, or hosted stages at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and venues, including DC10, Creamfields, The Warehouse Project, EDC Orlando, PICA Melbourne, Concourse Project Austin and many more. 2025 marks his third year as a resident at the legendary Ibiza club Hï, and also a refocus on the house, tech-house, and techno genres where he first made his name.

From humble beginnings, his first-ever DJ set was in a working men’s club in Newcastle in 2009, followed by years of promoting events, DJing locally, and studying music production. This led to his breakthrough moment in 2013 with a release on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax label and becoming a Paradise resident until 2019. He has been more or less constantly touring the world for 12 years now, playing huge festivals such as Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, Coachella, EDC Vegas, Awakenings, and Ultra—as well as many influential clubs along the way. In 2022, he won Best British DJ in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards, adding to an impressive list of accolades including: Tech House DJ of the Year (2018), Track of the Season for “Forget” (2014), Newcomer DJ (2014) at the DJ Awards Ibiza, and DJ Mag’s Tune of the Year in 2014 for “Forget.”

As a recording artist, Patrick has now released over 100 original tracks and remixes, with “Be Sharp Say Nowt” (2017) going on to become certified silver in the UK in 2021. Known for pioneering new sounds within house, techno, and British dance music, he is one of the most versatile tastemaker DJs and producers in electronic music. His music is grounded in Chicago house and Detroit techno, yet always looking to innovate. Patrick has worked with pioneers of these genres, including multiple collaborations with Chicago’s Green Velvet—such as their 2014 smash “Voicemail,” “Mad Motion” (2024), “Shining,” and “When Is Now” (2015). He’s also done remix swaps with Chicago legend the late Paul Johnson and collaborated with Detroit icon Kevin Saunderson on “Frisk,” which featured on the official soundtrack to the 2022 film The Batman. Crossing over into pop, he has also remixed high-profile artists including The Streets, Sam Fender, Robyn, and Calvin Harris.

His ascension through the international DJ ranks has been matched by his shrewdness and passion for spotting and championing emerging talent. In 2019, he launched his influential label and event series, Trick, which has become one of the most popular underground dance music brands. Curated by Patrick himself, Trick has provided a platform for breakthrough acts such as Ewan McVicar, Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, and many more. Its loyal fanbase has become one of the most passionate communities in dance music, with fans proudly sporting the brand’s lightning bolt on merchandise—and even tattoos—at events across the UK and beyond.

With an exciting release schedule ahead and still driven by the same raw energy that first inspired him as a raver, Patrick Topping continues to live his dream while staying grounded. A hardworking, humble, and visionary artist, he remains a key contributor to club culture—whether behind the decks, in the studio, or uplifting the next generation of talent.

A globally respected and highly accomplished artist, label boss at the seminal Hot Creations, founder and curator of the worldwide Paradise event series and member of cross-genre band Hot Natured, Jamie Jones has achieved iconic status in the electronic music world. A trendsetter and seasoned tastemaker, the Welsh dance music superstar pioneered his own distinct sound, drawing on his deep knowledge and experience to cultivate DJ sets that weave through a range of diverse, complementary styles selected to energise and enchant the dance floor.

Nestled safely on the South Coast of England, Portsmouth is a place that is more commonly associated with big ships, bad tattoos and funny accents than it is with electronic music, but look a little bit closer and you will see that it is a city with a fast growing house scene, bustling with an abundance of talented DJs and producers. None more so than Soul Divide, a duo consisting of Sam Bylett and Daniel Back and considered by many as the finest pair to come out of the city since Amanda Holden’s cosmetic surgery in 2006.

Although the Soul Divide project only began in 2014, Sam and Daniel bring a combined total of well over thirty years’ worth of DJing experience to the table. After dangerously flirting with hard house in the early 2000s, the boys have spent the last fifteen years honing their skills and perfecting the soulful sound associated with Soul Divide, often described as “the exact opposite of Skrillex” or “heaven’s elevator music”.

Having successfully run events for the past eleven years both at home on the South Coast and further afield in London, Amsterdam and Ibiza, the transition to playing gigs as Soul Divide, in clubs like Ministry of Sound - London, Switch - Southampton, Halo - Bournemouth and The Arch - Brighton, came easier to Sam and Daniel than unwanted male attention comes to an attractive female in a nightclub smoking area. The duo have also appeared at Portsmouth’s Mutiny Festival and Southampton’s Soundclash Festival and do plan on  “playing a gig up north” at some point in their career. Since the Soul Divide project began, they have supported some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Jamie Jones, MK, Roger Sanchez, Patrick Topping, Kerri Chandler, Solardo and Hot Since 82 who described them as “great DJs but probably not as hot as me”.

Not content with just DJing and running parties, Soul Divide are also highly accomplished producers and are currently signed to some of house music’s most respected labels, including Elrow, Undr The Radr, Simma Black, Amplified Records, Freakin 909, Get Twisted, In The Loop, Audio Rehab. To date, their music has received support from some of the industries most influential voices, including Masters At Work, Todd Terry, Danny Howard and Pete Tong, who said “Oh, that’s going right in my basket” after discovering their track Catch the Light for the first time on Beatport. Soul Divide also run their own label, Amplified Records, which they use as a platform to launch their own music, champion the sound of some of the scene’s hottest emerging talents and a handy invite to industry events.

With current residencies at Love Amplified, in Portsmouth and Southampton, and Bump N Hustle, Bournemouth, as well as a number of national and international booking, including the Box at Ministry of Sound this June, 2018 is already shaping up to be a huge year of gigs for Soul Divide. Add that to upcoming releases on Get Twisted, Audio Rehab and Amplified Records and it’s clear to see that Soul Divide will be busier than a Berghain floor mopper this year and beyond.
