Pete's passion for music began at an early age, after being expelled from school as a teen, he started a band with 2 close friends, taught himself to play guitar and drums and they hit the road. After a road trip to Ibiza in 87, and the first whisperings of ecstasy and acid house, he decided that electronic music was the future, and traded his drum kit for a pair of Technics turntables. After playing numerous illegal parties around the South East of England he gained his first residency in 1990 at the Hand & Spear in Surrey, and soon turned it into one of the biggest nights in the whole of the UK. Pete's DJ career took off quickly and it wasn't long before he was guesting all over Europe. In '92 he launched Ugly Bug records. It was an instant success, especially with big hitting radio djs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. Pete became a resident guest on Kiss 100fm, and his first release as his main recording alias, The Shaker, ',Just Lick It', became the club hit of the year, and was signed to over 30 compilation albums. The remix work came flooding in, from labels such as London, FFRR, Hooj, Ore, Fade, and Perfecto. His remix of Zee's Dreamtime was essential new tune on Pete Tong's BBC Radio1 show, and finally in 96 Pete signed to XL recordings, after a 3 way struggle between A&M, XL, and Maifesto to secure his signature. He went on to release 3 more singles under the Shaker guise˜Mooncat', 'Strong to Survive' and 'Star' which were all massive club anthems around the world. His djing skills started to attract the talents of promoters as far afield as Russia, S.Africa, as well as New York, L.A. and Denver in the USA. Pete was a regular guest at Amnesia and Bora Bora in Ibiza, as well as an international resident at Firestone, Buzz, and Simons in the US. For most, this would have been the peak of an outstanding career, but Pete was after something a bit more substantial. Despite the massive chart success, Pete reinvented his sound and launched a new label: Red Ant Records. Over 150 releases later, Red Ant is going from strength to strength. Cutting edge underground dance music. Pete Bones may not take himself too seriously, his music however, is another story. The label has collaborating artists such as Duncan Gray, The Shaker, Justin Robertson, Al Mackenzie, Richard Sen and Jezebell, always careful to avoid the restrictions born of the obsession with pigeon-holing dance music.  Pete has toured with American industrial legends the Thrill Kill Kult, and played alongside Nick Warren, Sasha, Carl Cox, Tommie Sunshine and Mr C. As an artist Pete has signed to the highly rated CitySeven records out of London, Superfreq and Pangea Records from Los Angeles. Now living in Brighton UK, Pete has his infamous Fear & Loathing night well established and is making waves in the UK's festival scene.

RESPEKT is the label manifestation of the internationally recognised artist duo Spektre. It has been developed as a base for the research and exploration of their sound and to experiment within the new and innovative world of electronic music that we live in today.  Derived from an anagram of Spektre, the Respekt label stands for the artist’s interminable belief in the underground soundtrack that spans the globe, and for the inspiration they gleam from producing, performing, and moving in the circles it revolves in.

As two of the most widely respected techno artists to come out of the UK in recent times, founders Paul Maddox & Richard Wakley have travelled the world in the past three years performing the Spektre LIVE show, to rapturous acclaim. While stealing the show at clubs around the globe, they have been inspired by cultures from every dance floor, and as producers they have released on the crème de la crème of techno's elite labels. 

Massive support has come from the likes of techno kings Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Dubfire and Laurent Garnier, while James Zabiela has championed them as his “ones to watch” and quotes “Spektre's productions consist of solid techno that really remembers the rave. Music that is cool but also fun and highly danceable. These guys are just going to get bigger"…

The natural progression is their label RESPEKT, with the first release due at the end of November and another three before Spring serving as a build up to their eagerly anticipated debut studio album, due for release in early 2010. 

Get ready to be inspired, exhilarated and enthralled. Get prepared for the next instalment and always, Expekt the unexspekted!!!


Being one of the most in-demand Techno DJs of our times, Ben Klock needs little introduction. His name has been closely associated with Berlin’s legendary club Berghain since 2005. His monthly residency has formed the backdrop to his international success, providing an invaluable platform for his ability to create a room rather than just play to it.

Much of his early career was marked by marathon sets – a signature that played a considerable role in nurturing his skills and reputation – but even the more compressed sets he shares today evidence an intricate narrative and sense of flow that defines him as a DJ. It was these inherent abilities that led him to compile the fabric 66 compilation in 2012, before winning the BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year award in 2015.

His releases on Ostgut Ton have become landmarks in the imprint’s history. 2009’s “Dawning”, the first of his collaborations with Marcel Dettmann kickstarted the label itself and remains a stand-out track in its discography. Another release of particular note is the Before One EP including “Subzero”, which many techno lovers still refer to as their gateway track into the whole genre itself. For many, however, it is his album One (2009) that best captures Klock’s talents as a producer. His skills as a remixer have also seen him rework tracks by a wide variety of artists, including Kerri Chandler, Depeche Mode, Robert Hood and Kenny Larkin.

Additionally, Klock curates with great passion his own label Klockworks, founded in 2006. With releases from DVS1, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, Sterac, Etapp Kyle, Temudo and many more Klockworks became a synonym for unique, high quality Techno.

In 2017 Ben started his own event series PHOTON which is a unique concept show that blends light, architecture and music. Since then he toured PHOTON at special venues in major cities around the world such as Printworks (London), Gashouder (Amsterdam), Arca (Sao Paolo), to name a few. It quickly became a new standard for audio visual electronic music events. In 2023 the project returns after a pandemic induced break with a brand new visual and artistic concept.

An unequivocal industry visionary, DJ Hell's career has embodied and then transcended his many guises: Anti-Superstar DJ, International DeeJay Gigolo Label Boss, GQ Man of the Year, Playboy, Jetsetter, Bon Viveur, Munich Machine, New York Muscle. Seeing, and envisioning - that is of enormous relevance to Hell. He managed to convey pure artistic prowess as well as pure style during his thirty year DJ career.
