Above & Beyond, or Jono, Tony and Paavo as they are better known to their legion of fans around the world, have been at the forefront of electronic dance music for two decades. 

Founders of the iconic Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of a weekly radio show (Group Therapy Radio) that reaches millions of dance lovers every Friday, the trio have also earned two GRAMMY™️ nominations for anthems 'Northern Soul' feat. Richard Bedford and 'We're All We Need' feat. Zoë Johnston. 

Above & Beyond's enviable list of sold out shows includes headline performances at historic venues like Madison Square Garden NYC, The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall London, Red Rocks Amphitheater and record-breaking turn outs at their own festival events on LA's Huntington Beach and at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State.

Fatima Yamaha’s now classic single ‘What’s A Girl To Do’ taken from the EP ‘A Girl Between Two Worlds’ saw the light of day in 2004, but it wasn’t until 10 years later that a re-release made the song truly explode. 
For many years, Fatima Yamaha was shrouded in mystery, known only to be a project led by “a young lady born to a Japanese father and a Turkish mother”. By now we all know Bas Bron is Fatima Yamaha. The Dutch producer has many guises, but Fatima Yamaha is his most enigmatic.
The album ‘Imaginary Lines’ was released in 2015 and followed the success of ‘What’s A Girl To Do’ with the fabulous single ‘Love Invaders’. Later followed by another banging club anthem ‘Araya’.
His live shows unfailingly live up to the highest expectations, offering refined house and techno complimented by virtuoso synths. But after years of selling out tours and headlining the most prestigious festivals all over the world, Bas took a year off touring to focus on new material and other ventures.
He directed, produced and made the soundtrack of the short film ‘Heian’ and recorded lots of other tracks, for many different projects. But this autumn there will finally be a new Fatima Yamaha album; ‘Spontaneous Order’. Bas shows his versatility on the album, effortlessly moving form harsh dancefloor tracks to spacious ambient drones and funky electronic pop tracks.

Over the course of the last three plus decades, the German born DJ, musician and composer Marc Romboy has become synonymous with a soulful electronic music sound that has taken him all over the world. As well as releasing on only the most influential labels, from Innervisions to Cocoon and Kompakt to Senso Sounds, he is also the sole mastermind behind the influential Systematic Recordings label and has been since 2004.

Nowadays an album specialist, 2006 saw him release his debut album, the captivating „Gemini" whilst in 2017 Marc released his first listening long player called „Voyage de la planète“, a pure electronica album with classical music influence and later, in summer 2017 the live recording of his collaboration with the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra called „Reconstructing Debussy“, in cooperation with Boiler Room hit the stores.

Despite being a key player for so long, Marc is still as relevant as ever and remains right at the sharp end of electronic music. Proof of that comes in the form of his DJ schedule, which takes him from Fabric to Womb and Berghain to Rex, as well as to not one but three separate Boiler Room shows. All three proved Marc to be a dexterous performer who never relies on obviousness or gimmicks, instead telling truly musical stories that place dancers right at the heart of the action.

“It all began when one of us was Leaving Laurel”.

For Leaving Laurel, their music is a story of an old friendship that over many years, almost accidentally, blossomed into a musical collaboration.

Birthed in late 2019, American artist Pierce Fulton and Canadian producer Gordon Huntley together as Leaving Laurel have developed a penchant for introspective melodic electronic music.

Inspired by their time together in the hills of Laurel Canyon, and from their formative experiments recording into old cassette tape players, the project materialized seemingly out of thin air - something neither of them knew they were looking for.

Chasing the nostalgic sound that came from their first collaborations, the pair finished their debut self-titled album at the start of 2021, just prior to a horrible tragedy.

Pierce passed away in April of 2021 after a tragic struggle with his mental health. The album is dedicated to his memory, and has come to represent much more than two friends making music together in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.  

After some time to reflect, Gordon decided to collect the pieces of the remaining music the duo had started, and to carry on with the project.

In the fall of 2021, Leaving Laurel played their first shows since the formation of the project, with Pierce’s older brother Griff taking Pierce’s place for their DJ sets.

In Middle School, a huge guy passing by mentioned i would look like "Ho-Chi-Minh"... my friends loved it, starting to call me like that. Some people knew me for more than two years before they realized that this actually wasn't my real name. So i did not choose this name by myself, i just tried to make it look less scary over the years. 

My earliest memory connected with Electronic Music is sitting in the back of a tiny Opel listening to "Iron Eden" by The Gate (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdoBR09q4so) back in the 90's. My friend had spent all his money on this new Subwoofer, placed directly behind the place i was sitting on. It was my first time experiencing this kind of music at a volume it is supposed to be heard. You can imagine that my 15 year old mind literally was blown. ;)
Even if i am open to every Genre and enjoy to listen to all kinds of music (as long as its really music and not purely driven by Greed), Electronic Music was the main focus since then. People started to use strange words, trying to categorize different types of Electronic Music. For me personally, that makes not much sense. I prefer to call it just "Electronic Music"(even if the Term is outdated again, as the Music isn't purely electronic anymore - or never was). Maybe i am just sick and tired of having everything well sorted - i grew up in Germany. :)
 
Mixing or doing music (which always means to create something like an "emotional pattern") always fascinated me. I never made it to start doing it myself though. 
Finally i decided to make the first steps, starting with digital Equipment. Most certainly too late to make a living out of it, but hopefully still in time to make some people smile.

I hope you enjoy listening to the stuff i uploaded. My apologies for bad mixing skills.

Often it's those who enter the scene from a different background who take the evolution of music to the next level. Instead of suffering from tunnel vision they are full of open-minded curiosity. Seth Schwarz is one of them. His powerful productions meet the expectations of the dance floor, but at the same time they break the circle of imitation and repetition. Seth dedicated a great part of his youth to classical music. By merging the concepts of electronic music and classic composition he creates mighty bangers of truly symphonic dimensions. It's not unusual for him to record up to 70 instrumental tracks for a new production. The result is extremely catchy and has a unique feeling of flow elegance.
