"Housequake started out as a laugh, but now it's completely gotten out of hand!" - ROOG

It all began on a serendipitous summer evening in 2003. A beach party, and a set list that placed DJ’s ROOG and Erick E next to each other led to an impromptu back-to-back set of party house jams. With fun-loving Erick E and stoic music lover Roog each pushing the other hard to bring bigger and better tunes out of the bag, the crowd went wild. 

In the haze of post-party euphoria, elated by their amazing chemistry, Housequake was born.

Dutchman Raymond Teunisse (aka DJ Raymundo) developed his passion for music at a very young age. He was inspired by his father’s love of 80’s synth pop (Hot Butter, Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk) and Escape resident DJ Marcello, who was spinning at the famous Club IT in Amsterdam at the time. Marcello gave Raymond the opportunity to start playing in the same club, an incredible opportunity at the age of 15.

He was asked to become resident of Holland’s most famous nightclub, the Escape Venue. For over a decade Raymundo has consistently rocked his Saturday night residency entitled Brainwash. Crucially, he is also the talent booker, inviting national and international top DJ’s like Hardwell, Fedde Le Grand, Martin Solveig, Chuckie, Luciano, David Guetta, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Axwell to offer the most amazing night out in Amsterdam.

“The Escape’s status as Amsterdam’s finest club means so much to me because I have been resident DJ and programmer for so many years. The endless queues each and every weekend are further evidence of our leading position in Dutch nightlife”.

Looking back over the years, Raymond has headlined major festivals such as Dance Valley, Mystery Land, Loveland Festival, Latin Village and almost every club throughout the Netherlands. He is also frequently booked outside of Holland in places as far flung as Dubai, USA, Qatar & Egypt. In January 2019 he completed a tour in China and played in some of the biggest clubs there.

In addition, 2017 was a very special year for Raymundo for another reason, as he celebrated his 12,5 years residency at Escape Venue behind the decks and 25 years as a dj. This was also the moment Raymundo decided to take his dj career to the next level with more releases and aiming for more gigs abroad. 

In the passed he produced tracks with Gabriel&Castellon, Addy van der Zwan & Robert Feelgood which can be found on all digital music portals. He signed his tracks to major labels like Spinnin Records, Sneakerz Muzik, Housesession,  Area94 and Star69. His love for the origin of housemusic resulted in a solid remix of the legendary track Yéké Yéké by Mory Kanté in 2011. Last year he remixed another classic. Together with Dave Leatherman, he made a remix of Soup’s New York, which was released in march of 2018 by Armada Music this release is the first in a series of upcoming tracks.

With his weekly residency (Fridays & Saturdays) at Escape Venue Amsterdam and performances at the biggest festivals in the Netherlands and abroad  Raymundo is busier then ever!

Strictly Rhythm Records is house music.  Since 1989 the legendary New York label not only put out records by almost every name in the game, but it also defined house music throughout the 1990s with Erick Morillo, Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Armand Van Helden, DJ Pierre, Roger Sanchez, Josh Wink, Ultra Naté and Barbara Tucker.  As well as keeping the underground stoked with a steady supply of club grooves, the label also delivered a stream of crossover hits with Reel 2 Real’s “I Like To Move It”, Ultra Naté’s “Free”, Wamdue Project’s “King Of My Castle” and Wink’s “Higher State Of Consciousness”.  

Relaunched in 2007 after a five year break following a short-lived venture with Warner Music, Strictly Rhythm did what no dance label had ever done: successfully re-launch itself.  The label made many of its classic releases available on digital download for the first time and signed new productions from the likes of Quentin Harris, Osunlade, Bingo Players Vs Chocolate Puma, Dennis Ferrer, Michel Cleis, Dirty South and Bob Sinclar.  
Always an innovator, the label that invented the 12” white label and put out the first ever commercially released DJ Mix CD in 1993 (The Tony Humphries Strictly Rhythm Mix) is still at the cutting edge, finding and promoting the best in house music.

When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. His way to become one of today’s most praised and sought after DJ/producers is based on a solid foundation. A foundation comprised of solo-releases, remixes, projects and collaborations that numerous, we’d rather refer to his discography than weary you with namedropping. Besides, all those references would just distract from what truly matters – the music this guy is delivering. Not to underestimate the importance of a project such as Terranova for &ME’s current path, but still the alignment has been made – to focus consistently on his solo-work. And it shows.

There are not many artists around turning in such a slew of globally praised floormaterial like &ME did over the last years. Just think of his last offerings on Keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, including Rampa, Adam Port, Reznik & artist Monja Gentschow, he helped founding in 2009, namely “After Dark” and “Woods” or his “Vermillion”-remix for Damian Lazarus – all serious bangers, played by every renowned DJ worldwide. Everything is falling into place for the fella. His DIY-approach to handle things, his easy going attitude, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire, his ability to link innovative production with consensual reception, making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.

Right place, right time. It's an old cliché, but it's one that's been the definition of Dennis Ferrer's musical career. Just as the dance music world was heading into the world of afro-centric house, Ferrer was there. And then, when it began to embrace the mix of tech and soul, Ferrer was there again, leading the way with his impeccable productions. As Ferrer goes, it seems, so does electronic music. And, as someone who's never content to do the same thing twice, it's clear that he'll be staying on top for years to come.

Ferrer burst back into the consciousness of most dance music heads with the release of "Sandcastles," (Ibadan) his collaboration with Jerome Sydenham in 2003. But, to his credit, Ferrer didn't simply repeat the formula afterwards. He has continued to push a variety of genres all at once. It's clear that Ferrer isn't content to rest on his laurels: he's too busy dreaming up new ways to shock and delight audiences.

In the mid-90’s, Ferrer was crafting techno records as Morph and then had success in the Afro and gospel house scenes with releases via his Sfere label, an imprint he began alongside Kerri Chandler. But it's this past work that gives his new productions such resonance: unlike many of this house peers, Ferrer's techno experience has given him an edge that you can hear in his recent work.

"Son of Raw," (Ibadan) "Church Lady," (Defected) "Underground Is My Home," (King Street Sounds), "Touched the Sky" (King Street Sounds), “Transitions” (King Street Sounds), “P 2 Da J” (Defected),  “Sinfonia Della Notte” (Strictly Rhythm), “Hey Hey” (Objektivity), “Red Room” (Objektivity), “Underground” Nick Curly – Dennis Ferrer Remix (Defected), to name a few, have all been huge dance floor anthems and all show a different side of the Ferrer personality as well as his impressive range as producer and remixer.

Ferrer has brought his ‘anything goes’ approach to his label, Objektivity.  Celebrating its 8th anniversary in 2014, the imprint has thus far focused itself on vocals, featuring often unlikely turns from indie heroes like Ane Brun and Télépopmusik. Low slung and deep, Objektivity is a cutting-edge label in touch with its time, putting a uniquely American spin on the deep house revival that is currently making waves in Europe. Objektivity is a living, breathing thing - one that's set to drop bombs on the dance floor for years to come.

While Ferrer closes out 2013 with “Mind Ur Step” (Defected), “Mind Ur Dub” (Objektivity) and a remix of Coyu - “Salvation” (Noir Music), the best is yet to come. With a deep knowledge of the past and a constant push for the future, Ferrer remains one of the true greats of house music - a leader and innovator whose enjoying the buzz around him but keeping on pushing the limits. Stay tuned.
