Head of @wearefreaksrecords 

Elternhouse is a Tech House project founded by Bavarian brothers Marius and Mika, known for their signature "Happy Dirty Tech House" sound. Starting as residents at Nuremberg’s Haus 33, they quickly made waves, launching We Are Freaks Records in 2019 and releasing tracks on top labels like Toolroom, Dirtybird, and Repopulate Mars.

By 2022, Elternhouse had gone international, playing in cities like Prague, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. At the end of 2024, Mika decided to take an indefinite break from performing to focus on other pursuits but remains involved behind the scenes. Marius now leads the project, keeping its spirit and energy alive on stage and in the studio.

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.

„Ninito“ also known as Chris Stro, hatte schon damals als er in New York geboren wurde Musik im Blut. In seinen jungen Jahren konnte er schon erste Erfahrungen mit Plattenspielern sammeln.  Damals noch in Brooklyn bei seinem Onkel im Keller mit alten Hip Hop Vinyls. Doch nach dem Umzug nach Deutschland fand er die Liebe zur Elektronischen Musik. Und wie es der Zufall so will, verbrachte er die meiste Zeit seiner Jugend in einem kleinen Ort im Landkreis Würzburg, wo ebenfalls sein Homie „Pappenheimer“ aufgewachsen ist. Die Freundschaft und Liebe zur Musik ist immer weitergewachsen. Ende 2009 war es dann auch soweit und die Eventreihe „Abfahrt Würzburg“ wurde geboren. Da Ninito Pappenheimers Idee richtig gut fand, beschloss er ihm wo es nur geht zu unterstützen. 2011 war es dann soweit und Ninito bekam seine Chance sich als Abfahrt Würzburg Künstler zu beweisen, und so wie es aussieht hat es geklappt. Bis zum heutigen Tag ist Ninito stolz darauf zu einer so extrem coolen Familie zu gehören. Über die letzten Jahre hatte er die Möglichkeit seinen Techno und Hardtechno in zahlreichen Clubs und auf Festivals zu spielen, wie z.B. Abfahrt Würzburg Events, Nature One, Ruhr in Love, Airport (Würzburg), Kamikatze (Würzburg), Hans Bunte (Freiburg), U60311 (Frankfurt), Tanzhaus West (Frankfurt), MTW (Offenbach), Klangkeller (Düsseldorf), Tube Club (St. Wendel) usw.
