The singular brand of house music that Taylor Freels produces as Liquid Earth is uniquely transatlantic, infusing the rhythmic sensibilities of London and Berlin with the sun-soaked serenity of his native California. Part '80s sleaze, part '90s deepness, part '00s wiggle, Freels makes dance music cocktails that pop like a twist of lime hitting seltzer. Melodic, crisp, and always refreshing, each track by the California-native is singularly recognizable as he refashions vintage sounds for the clubs of tomorrow.

Under his most recent alias, Liquid Earth, Freels has been pushing, as Resident Advisor put it, "tech house with a twist." His state-of-the-art analog grooves emerged from the ether fully formed in 2019 with some of the deepest basslines and crunchiest melodies out there. Freels' squigly take on contemporary house and techno always comes primed with a dose of California sunshine. Carrying on the legacy of storied California predecessors like Halo and Hipp-E, he's been swiveling heads and moving bodies with releases on labels at the vanguard of the underground, like Kalahari Oyster Cult and Is/Was sub label TerraFirm, collaborations with Tornado Wallace as Dinnervisions, and a remix of his starry-eyed, "Scope Zone" by Youandewan landed him notoriety among the scenesters alike.

More than just a producer, Freels knows how to pack a punch behind the decks, moving from classic West Coast Breaks to UK tech house with aplomb and mastery. His bookings and podcasts have been piling up like hot cakes with best-in-class mixes for the likes of Honey Soundsystem, Butter Side Up and Faciendo and DJ appearances from Dimensions Festival to Panorama Bar.

Freels' music, as both a DJ and a producer, remains unparalleled in its ability to solder funk with deepness. His early releases that propelled him to prominence on labels like Melbourne’s Voyage Recordings and the Amsterdam based Kalahari Oyster Cult, displayed an almost encyclopedic knowledge of house music. As Urulu, Freels zig-zagged across time and space to create music that felt embryonically transatlantic alongside a sugar rush of rave nostalgia. He now uses the Liquid Earth moniker to bring that same intimate knowledge to the trippier corners of the cosmos. With a seemingly endless trove of creativity and energy congealing behind the Liquid Earth project, Freels is poised to continue his take over of club land's headiest and spaciest dance floors

Closed Paradise’s vibe is centered on a solid groove and seamlessly slips between house, deep disco, lounge techno.

In addition to being a world class DJ, Closed Paradise is also an established and well respected producer. His discography ranges from the very summery Secrets EP (signed by better listen) to the deep and dreamy Praise (Fina Records) Last but not least, Closed Paradise also realises video clip of his most vibing tracks, including the mystic Trippin on Sunshine...

Hailing from the cold and windy highlands of Transnistria, Karvan de Robartosz a.k.a. “Cuthead” has travelled the world for over 45 years with nothing more than an MPC, a microphone and one pair of sandals, before finally settling down in the cold and windy lowlands of Dresden, Germany.

It was only there and then where he met The Lunatic Profezzor (Adriano Stefano Juliani), with whom he promptly proceeded to stirr up a ruckus in the local KryptoTekk music scene.



Over the years their collaborative efforts (read: wild parties, often bordering on orgies) under the moniker of KunstStoffBreakz have attracted lots of attention from local scenesters,hipsters,dandys and law enforcement alike.


Cuthead, after many years of devastating the KryptoTekk landscape, making love to beautiful women and taking pictures of butterflies, has now entered a more introspective phase in his life which consists mainly of making love to beautiful women, shooting slow-motion movies of various insects including butterflies, and producing experimental hiphop/breakbeats and electro.

Théo alias Rafiki (membre fondateur de Beat X Changers, Communauté Online" de passionnés de musique, et label depuis peu) commence à nouer avec le rythme par la danse, il débute le Hip-hop en 1997 et la house en 2005. Sorties, clubbing, battles, compétitions, ... ces deux formes de musiques et d'expression libre lui inspirent à passer lui-même aux commandes. En 2006, il prend les platiens et, influencé grandement par ses "grands freres Français" (Motor Bass, Deep, St Germain ...), Rafiki peut aussi aller chercher des ambiances synthétiques dans la techno de Détroit ou la profondeur des beats Berlinois; il aime aussi au passage prendre des détours "soulfull" New Yorkais. Ses résidences à l'étrangers (Montréal, Berlin, New York, Detroit) ont grandement façonné son identité musicale.
