It is warm, upbeat, energetic and most of all, irresistible: The Egbert-sound. Egbert VanderGugten is an ordinary Dutch guy, except for the fact that he is THE Dutch techno-act at this moment. In his loft in Rotterdam, Egbert produces one great dance floor track after another. However, no dance floor can hear it. The only witness to the magic he creates are the four walls of his loft until the Dutch techno legend Secret Cinema (Jeroen Verheij) finds him online. Verheij pulls Egbert out of his loft and gives him, at age 20, a stage to perform on and a record label. It turned out to be the start of an international victory tour. Having hardly recovered from his first two releases in the Netherlands, Sven Väth calls from Frankfurt: ‘Can Egbert deliver a track for Cocoon, stat.’ Vreugdevuur becomes one of the most prominent releases of 2009 and after that things go fast. Really fast. The loft quickly becomes history when Egbert closes the main stage of Time Warp, crushes Awakenings for no less than a dozen times in a couple years and graces Club Womb in Tokyo. Additionally, he is a frequent guest in Cape Town, Budapest, Ibiza, Melbourne and Singapore… Not bad for a guy who before his first release only flew in a plane once. But understand that wherever Egbert comes, all (let me repeat: ALL) hands will go up, and they will stay there. 

“Very proud of him to be the youngest Dutch techno-hero bringing quality music to
dance floors across the globe” - Rocco Veenboer, Awakenings

Egbert sets a new standard when he singlehandedly performs for 6 hours straight in a sold out club Melkweg in Amsterdam. The question is: what is someone who achieved so much in such a short period of time going to do next? No worries. Aside from the fact that he still has a countless amount of tracks waiting to see the world (thank you, loft), Egberts’ ambition and energy are limitless.

The entire world is his next stop.

Born in the city of Lille, Frenchman Clawz SG has been a devout electronic music enthusiast for a very long time. After many years of clubbing his passion naturally flourished, inspiring him to immerse himself even further into the music scene. 

It’s only recently however, that his name has started to circulate, becoming synonymous with the current Deep House and Melodic Techno sounds of today. Nevertheless, Clawz SG stays true to his roots and remains an old-school synth aficionado from way back, having collected an impressive selection of numerous analogue vintage synthesizers over the years.

His ardour for producing was originally something he engaged in purely for himself and his friends, however after much support and encouragement he finally decided to take that final step, thus paving way for the birth of Clawz SG. His debut release with Parquet Recordings in 2014, was a significant mile stone clocking up two highly acclaimed collaborated tracks titled “Obvious” and “Abyss”. 

The success from Parquet 082 cemented a solid springboard for his musical art form and it opened the flood gates to a succession of accomplished releases. To date he has remixed and produced originals with a number of well-established labels, including TRAUM, Natura Viva, Inlab Recordings, Blendwerk, Save Us Records and Making You Dance Records. 

More immediately, his creative aspirations have compelled him to embark on a new and exciting phase of his career. 2016 sees him join the Steyoyoke Recordings family and already he has a debut release set to make its mark.

 “Sounds in Motion” is a finely polished all original four track EP, due out in April 2016. Nothing shy of a masterpiece, it directly reflects his internal profoundness and mirrors his necessity to express his personal sentiments with sound, when words do not suffice.
 
Broadening his career will never change Claws SG’s deep-seated morals or values. He’s an individual with strong family ties, even dedicating an entire EP to his family and proudly upholds many noble attributes within all his professional connections, which assures lasting relationships and solid honest partnerships within the industry. 

With all these positive traits and artistic facets to boast, Clawz SG has definitely found kindred spirits in his alliance with the Steyoyoke family and 2016 is sure to throw his talents well and truly into the spotlight.

Based in Berlin but originally from Italy, Soul Button has undoubtedly made a distinctive mark on the Melodic Techno scene, starting his personal project in 2012 along with the launch of his label and brand, Steyoyoke Recordings. As the inventor and trademark owner of the Ethereal Techno subgenre, his artist name, Soul Button, reflects a strong conceptual identity.

Soul Button transformed his label into a real brand, first establishing the two sub-labels Steyoyoke Black and Inner Symphony, and later developing his own clothing brand, SYYK Berlin, as well as his own publishing company, SYYK Publishing. Well known in the electronic music scene as one of the most skilled DJs and producers, for his mental and soulful sets and tracks, Soul Button has affirmed his international exposure.

His career took off with many successful singles like "Swift Minds" and "Wraith", the latter featuring acclaimed American vocalist Terry Grant. Tracks like "Reverie" and "Metamorphosis" were a great anticipation of his first album, released in December 2019, "Phantom Existence", a 13-original track album that marked a significant moment in his career, followed by a remix edition in April 2020.

Recent years have seen continued success with the release of the "Pantheon" EP alongside Monarke, and singles such as "God Save The Rave", "Crescendo", "Merine", "Infinitude", and "Dalliance", capturing the attention of techno enthusiasts worldwide. His latest work includes "Walking Straight Up", a single that highlights his ascent in 2023, together with the collection, "Dual Realms of Sound", which was a testament to Soul Button's evolving sound and his ability to capture the duality of rhythm and melody, further solidifying his place in the techno realm. 2024 sees his second official album "Master Minds", which will be launched in April 2024, with preceding singles "Lumina" and "Tartribe".

Having cemented himself firmly in the scene, Soul Button maintains focus on the continuous growth and development of his labels as well as his own personal career. The upcoming years will surely be busy with new tours and projects on the horizon.
