Rich Wakley definitely has electronic music in his blood. An ever present on the house and techno scene in various guises over the last fifteen years, he looks ahead to 2015 with major excitement. 

Across his journey Rich has played and produced a wide spectrum of music taking in the deeper, techier sounds right through to peak time techno. It is this legacy that sees him arrive at his current sound; a mix of solid beats and infectious grooves that is receiving plaudits the world over.

Harry Ley is the youngest of four sons, born and raised in a suburban town in North-East London. Music took a big role in his life from an early age, starting as a hobby from 11 years old but quickly progressed into a lifestyle.  At 16, Harry attended the Access to Music College in East London, whose former students include Rita Ora and Ed Sheeran.

By 18, Harry had 9 signed releases, starting with his first release, the multi-sub genred ‘House EP [MFR018]‘ on MFR Records. This release successfully resulted in him becoming an official UK Artist and he was welcomed into the MFR family. His second release, also on MFR Records, ‘My Neck EP [MFR024]‘, really got the ball rolling with its unforgettably catchy headline track. My Neck, reached number 3 in  the DJCity.co.uk‘s top UK downloads. Harry continues to release tracks on a regular basis, not only on MFR, but also on other labels such as Audio Rehab, Audiowhore & Switched On Records.

Following his success; Harry started DJing. He took to the art naturally, mastering the technique of mixing after just 2 months. Quickly, promoters picked up on his talent and invited him to perform in some of the biggest clubs in London including Ministry Of Sound, Lightbox, Fire, The Qube Project (formally known as Pacha), Club No65, Rhythm Factory, Trapeze Bar (Shoreditch), Warehouse (Edmonton), Scala, Bar Inc (Northolt) and The Coronet. As well as this, Harry has also performed in Bora Bora, Ibiza and Bristol.

Not only is Harry is one of the headline artists at MFR Records, the co-founder of Motion Events, he has also established his own label, 2tone Records, with his DJ partner Limitless. The label has taken off very quickly signing multiple artists and releasing unique sounding tracks that have been featured on Kiss 100, Rinse FM and being played in the biggest events in the UK.

Graphic Design is also a big part of his life and is the main graphic designer for some biggest UK record labels and events designing websites, logos, flyers, posters, album artworks and much more.

*ENGLISH BIO:


Ovidi started to develop his skills as music creator, beginning his studies of musical production, which granted him important knowledge that would help him to dominate the intricacies of Ableton afterwards. Managing to edit his first EP in 2008, it was the turning point for Adlert, after which different renowned collectives and DJs started playing his tracks, getting to be heard at venues as iconic as Space Ibiza.

The life of Ovidi Adlert has been driven by steadiness and hard work since the first stages. Thanks to his musical productions, he managed to draw the attention of certain Canadian DJ collective, that wanted him as remixer. Adlert saw the chance of opening his own path in a new market and got booked for some dates in the North American country. Although his first visit to Canada wasn’t completely as he expected due to bureaucratic issues, this opportunity opened the doors of venues such as Footwoork, Comfort Zone or The River Gambler (all in Toronto, Canada) as well as some Boat Parties, later on. 

Besides his Canada appearances, Adlert has performed in Spain’s best clubs and venues: elrow (Barcelona), Florida 135 (Fraga), Spook and Hotel 82 (Valencia), Revival (Alicante), Under Club (Madrid) or Mediterránea Festival (Almería), among others.Among his long lists of works, we find hits as ‘1996 Visions’ (Kaluki), ‘Technical Problems’ (Material Vinyl), ‘Night Invaders’ (Darkside) or the most recent ‘Wicked’ (Cr2 Records), ‘After Heroes’ (Street Groove) or ‘90’s Movement’ (Underground Audio). Thanks to his mind set as producer, he’s gained the support of artists such as Richy Ahmed, Patrick Topping or Jamie Jones, people that has seen and felt the attitude and quality of his music.With his proactive, enterprising, humble and fresh character Ovidi – and those who bet for him – will reach the highest marks in charts and dancefloors alike.
