*****************************************
Laurent Schmitz, aka Pianopoli, is a Belgian DJ and producer whose musical soul is steeped in the influences of Italo disco, the frenetic house of the 90s and the hard-hitting electro of the 2000s.

From an early age, he was drawn to electronic music, which became a real passion. In the early 2000s, at the height of the electroclash period, he started DJing at parties in the Liège area and began producing music.

Today, through his Pianopoli project, as a DJ and producer, he creates unique soundscapes in which driving rhythms and effervescent synths blend retro sounds with the modernity of contemporary indie dance. 

His music is an invitation to discover, dance and explore retro-futuristic harmonies.

BIO:
Born in the magic land of Transylvania, the two Romanian natives Mihai I. and Marius F. discovered their passion for music at early ages. They first collaborated in a club residency and their musical tastes complemented so fine they decided to continue working together through the years.

After sharing the booth in residencies and various events [House Parade, UNTOLD] under their own aliases, the two have joined their experience and passion for music into Les Gourmands, an ambitious electronic music project that blends together two unique styles.

In 2014 they start The Passport (@thepassport), a brand that supports the electronic music movement and promotes the DJs and producers of tomorrow.

To share their passion with the world, SPICES came to life - a monthly podcast in which Les Gourmands bring electronic music fans the finest selections from all the deep touched genres. Heavy basslines and ethereal melodies are the signature of their sets.

The two gourmands will continue their work in the studio to bring more music among the listeners.

Tareq is a London-based Greek-Jordanian recording artist and one half of the dj/producer duo Boys' Shorts. Started as the frontman of the nu electro band TechSoir and released their only album Dark Room (2007). Tareq followed a solo career and released his solo debut album "Cocoon" (2010) (Best Electronic Album of the Year, in his native Greece) and included the hit singles "Cold", "Feel Me" and "Mosquito", and collaborations w/ Marsheaux, Lacquer and V-Sag, to name a few. Mix Mag named "Feel Me - Mighty Mouse Vocal Remix” as their Tune of the Month for August 2011. Tareq's second album "Fish" (2013) embodied a different approach to pop music from his first album and included successful collaborations with a number of Greek Indie Pop artists such as Natassa Bofiliou, Ilia Darlin, Marietta Fafouti, Marina Satti and Rsn. In his theme of evolving his sound over time, Tareq's EP "Indigo - EP" (2017) was produced by the french artist Lacquer and it was described as a funky feast of intelligent smooth Electro-Pop. Following the singles "You and Me" and "One" , Tareq more mature than ever, wrote and produced "Prints", a mid tempo electronica love serenade under the dystopian circumstances (July 2020). 
Tareq has also done remixes, for international artists such as Fischerspooner, Erasure, Casey Spooner, Gala, Mighty Mouse, Marsheaux, Bright Light Bright Light, Jessica 6 and many more.

Massimiliano Pagliara was born in Tricase (Lecce) in the deep south of Italy. Already as a child he listened to diverse types of music: rap, classical, reggae, dub and 60s rock'n'roll. Coming from this small village, he and his friends created a small musical world for themselves, spending a lot of time every day playing records in his basement and at private parties.
Upon moving to Milan in 1997, Massi embarked on an academic career and eventually earned his diploma in theatre, dance and choreography at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in 2001. While discovering the fashionable and alternative club scene of the city, his imagination was captured by experimental electronic music such as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Autechre and Mira Calix. Naturally these avant-garde sounds eventually found their way into Massi's original body of work.
After finishing school he ventured to Europes underground capital Berlin, where he continued his studies in contemporary dance, but also dived into the city's explosive techno nightlife, particularly the renowned OstGut club. Massi's interest in electronic music found its peak in 2003 when he finally began to pursue DJing with a passion. Ever since he's been spinning records across the world as well as some of the most popular underground venues in Germany – among them Tape Club, SchwuZ, Tresor, ://about blank, Robert Johnson, and of course Berghain / Panorama Bar, where he holds a residency.
Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to productio. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. 2011 saw the release of his debut album Focus For Infinity (on Live At Robert Johnson), followed by his sophomore LP With One Another in 2014. February 2017 saw his debut release on Ostgut Ton with the EP Time And Again. Since then, Massi has worked on various EPs, remixes, single track, all culminating in the late 2018 release of his third full-length solo album, titled Feel Live. February 2020 saw his debut on Munich's label Permanent Vacation with his new EP Nothing Stays In One Place For Long, in 2021 he's added the third part of his Uncanny Valley label trilogy with the EP Connection Lost Pt. 3. His latest album See You In Paradise releases in October 2022, once again with Permanent Vacation.
But he’s not always alone: Massi has been collaborating with luminaries around town such as gui.tar, Snax, Daniel Wang, Lemercier & The Lala By, Discodromo as well international artists. This lead to several side projects over the last decade, such as [sic!] with the two members of gui.tar, The Rimshooters with the Brazilian DJ and producer Rotciv, Egyptian Nipples with the multi-instrumentalist Jules Etienne, Banana Moon with Luigi Di Venere, Couple Looking with Chris Cruse to name just a few.
There's an ongoing lust for dialogue when it comes to Massimiliano Pagliara – be it through his collaborations and solo productions, during his DJ sets, with his own music label Funnuvojere Records or on a personal level. The world of dance, movement and communication is deeply rooted in Massi's life – when you know how to move yourself, you easily know how to move others.
