Nicolas Schmidtz hit the decks in April 2012 and has not looked back since. Being a skilful bartender surrounded by dance music, it was only a matter of time before he picked up the bug and progressed from mixing drinks to mixing tracks. 

Carrying a distinctive mellow feel to his sets, usually centred on Deep House & Progressive sounds, but also picking up Techno & Chill references for good measure, leaving the dancefloor with a nice groove no matter what time of night. 

A regular fixture on the circuit, which has seen him play often at Club Venue - the home of House music in Finland as well as well-known R3D. Supported Phase Difference (GRE) and from UK two House giants Hoxton Whores & Huxley for their 1st club gig in Finland as well as sharing the stage with many of the big names in the Finnish club scene. Playing sets at Helsinki House Nights, Eclipse, Venue Residents Night, Skins Party!, For The Music & Floorluv concepts to critical acclaim amongst his peers - all this in a short space of time means the future is bright for this bartender turned DJ.

- the other half of the duo/concept IDC (Identity Crisis)
- Co-Founder and resident DJ of collective Local Deep

- Former promoter/resident DJ of late Pussy eau de Club (a concept with the history of 21 years)

Hilla Liila

The chairperson of Local Deep and a regular face at bars, clubs, open airs and festivals around Finland. The misunderstood messenger of house music. Known for their admiration for big vocals and wack beats, tasty basslines and seamless mixing. Crossing genre lines effortlessly like its a necessity for them to keep things interesting not just for the listener but for themself as well. Making a hassle with their lovemeorhateme-attitude. This artist is someone who needs to have new challenges while doing their work in the DJ booth or sitting at home making music. 

A Music enthusiast. Not just a dj but a character who demands on making experiences more than just good parties and nicely flowing sets. Wants to have an emotional impact on the listener/crowd - whatever the emotional response may be. No way near any boxes. All the boxes are in fact lost. Always expect the unexpected. Sound consists of everything; you can call it whateveristic.

2024 is a fresh start for Hilla as they pursue their dreams as a producer under this alias as well. This allows this artist to channel their more disco and house-vibed side. A few secret weapon edits in the bag and some originals waiting in the desk drawer.

META-TRØNIC, aka Kaarlo, co-founder of Rio Underground Records, is a Finnish/Brazilian DJ and producer, one of the remnants of the old school underground scene in Rio de Janeiro.

His passion for electronic music started in the mid 90's when he met the DJ who brought the technoculture from Germany to Rio. Through this opportunity, Kaarlo contacted the techno temple from Copacabana, Bunker club, and got a job as a club promoter. This was the bridge to connect him to the electronic music business.

In a couple of years, his network allowed him to organize his own events and find his fate becoming a DJ/Producer. In the early 2000s, dedicating over 8 hours/day to the practice of turntablism, his talent was recognized by the club, and he was invited to become a resident.

He consolidated his career, smashing dance floors in countries as Argentina, Germany, Finland, Netherlands, and Brazil, playing on the hottest clubs and massive festivals, where the crowd felt the power of his beat. META-TRØNIC shared the stage with Christian Smith, Alex Bau, Christian Fischer, Monoroom, Stefano Noferini, PleasureKraft, DJ Hell, among others, and set the pulse in events like the Chemical Music Festival, held by Skol Beats (BR), and the acclaimed fashion event Rio Fashion Week.

During the COVID pandemic, engaging himself to keep the scene alive, he joined IsolA.M.E.nto Musical held by Bloco A.M.E. (RJ), which became the world's biggest live streaming electronic music festival. 

META-TRØNIC is a storyteller who will take you on a  journey through the dark side of electronic music.

Always experimenting and searching for new atmospheres, Kaarlo now a.k.a. META-TRONIC has the audience in his heart and music in his soul.
