VLADIMIR CORBIN
(Mo's Ferry Prod. / Red Eleven / Tonsport / Stuttgart)

Techno and its consequences. V. Corbin got into the maelstrom of the straight bassdrum with the first big wave, in the early nineties. Mayday, Loveparade and trips to German Techno centres were regularly on the weekend program. In the meantime, education and raving was current in the former Mecca called “Oz” in his hometown Stuttgart.
Apart from that, House and Techno parties were scarce in the Swabian capital. For the love of music, V. Corbin started in 1993 (together with the today internationally well-known DJ Duo "Tune Brothers") the event line “Stay Tuned”. Over the years it developed to the biggest regular indoor party (with up to 5000 visitors) for straight electronic music in the region of Stuttgart.
The year of 2002 had some bigger turning points at the ready for V. Corbin. To begin with the scene and city magazine of Stuttgart “Sub Culture”, which he took over as a publisher and has been leading successfully since then. On the other hand, he pushed on his DJ career since that time. In recent years before this time he grasped the headphones only sporadically and just for fun. In probably no other branch, fun and passion can become a business that fast, as in the DJ’s industry.
Corbin expeditiously developed a certain sound signature. The beats slightly reduced, deeply pumping, expanded chords – a Corbin set sweeps from Berlin over Detroit to Chicago and aback. A House-Groove is the foundation, in the floors above, styles from Deep over Minimal, Tech to Electro or Neo-Trance fuse seamlessly to a fascinating and authentic complete work.
After the big events in the nineties, V. Corbin applied himself to smaller events for enthusiasts of electronic music. He found the perfect place for it in the renowned club “Ciné Colibri”. Up to now, he invited major players of our age, such as Dapayk &amp; Padberg, Etienne De Crecy, Marc Romboy, Alex Gopher, Justus Köhnke, Jesse Rose, John Dahlbäck, D. Diggler, Ida Engberg, Kris Menace, Gamal Kabar, P.Toile, Xenia Beliayeva, Stephan Bodzino, Sebbo &amp; Ante Perry to his row of “Tonsport”.
Corbin continuosly works on own productions and remixes in the studio. Similar to his DJ style, various influences are processed to a pumping and enthralling sound. First official results were published since June 2009 and found their way in many dj charts. 


Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.
