Jon Sa Trinxa is an influential figure in the world of electronic music, renowned for his eclectic taste and deep connection with the Balearic sound—a kaleidoscope of genres that include Disco, House, Funk, Indie Dance, Down Tempo, Ambient, and more. His career, spanning over three decades, began in 1987, rooted in the early rave scene and expanding to clubs, festivals, beach parties, and special events worldwide, including Japan, Australia, South America, the USA, SE Asia, and across Europe.

One of Jon's most significant achievements is holding the longest DJ residency on Ibiza at Sa Trinxa, Salinas Beach, from 1993 to 2019. This spot became synonymous with his name, showcasing his ability to create a unique vibe that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Ibiza. His talent also shone brightly at the legendary Manumission parties, where he played for ten years at Privilege and Space, and was a regular feature at We Love… Sundays at Space, Pacha for Made in Italy, and various nights at Amnesia.

During the winter months, Jon's musical journey takes him to Asia, where he holds a residency at Karma Beach Club in Bali and performs in Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka, spreading his unique blend of Balearic beats to a global audience.

Jon Sa Trinxa's contribution to the music world extends beyond his live sets. He has produced several compilation CDs for major labels such as Sony and Music for Dreams, and his work on the classic "Naked Ibiza" for Mixmag became one of the magazine's most popular CDs, further cementing his status as a pioneer of the Balearic sound.

Maurizio Schmitz drives his own bus, dividing his diary effortlessly between work and
play and playing.
Half Italian, half German and his is a dizzying ongoing musical journey that flies economy
and business all at the same time. Maurizio exploits these contrasts, wearing pinstripes
or pyjamas or both - he jams.
We are talking about psychedelic house here. Socks off and sensual. It works on the big
stage, it works in the club and it washes all over an after hour. This sound did not happen
by accident.
In 1990 scrambling around some old Thorens decks in a club his mother worked in
Maurizio was scooping up all the vinyl lost from the night before – the first Schmitz
mixtapes (which actually were not mixed) saw the light of day at this time. Many were to
follow and these valuable suckers live amongst 11,000 pieces of vinyl collected and
stroked over the years.
When German techno was dynamite, changing the rules and ushering in a whole new
world of electronic music Maurizio was not only there – he was smack in the middle of it.
Bonn, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich. From the infamous “Labor” club to a 10 years
residency at 'FrequenzBerater' to Frankfurt and “U60311”. Many many more but maybe
two things stand out and tell you more. Spaldingstreet 43 in Hamburg, the original flat
sharing rave. Maurizio presided over 7 years of lovely madness. Today you could create
a major art/music festival just from the people who crashed out on the sofas there. Then
the tour de force. His very own Mauromusica night founded in Bonn 2004 in the beautiful
“Rheingarten”. An octagon shaped glass pavilion. Promoter, resident DJ and mum on the
door. Another 10 years.
No need to name names, somewhere in the above paragraph they all passed through.
Perhaps one name, because here comes the other Maurizio Schmitz.
In a 1994 after hour set in Munich, “Pulvertum” it was called, the raver Maurizio noticed
Sven Vath 2 metres high in a tree mid set. You don’t forget stuff like that.
Their paths were never going to stop crossing.
Event manager, promoter, booker and for some time now the right hand man and
frequent support act for the immortal legendary magician Sven Vath. It is a relationship
that is not stopping any time soon.
So, to summarise, Sicilan passion met German techno and spat out the Dj Maurizio Schmitz.
(2018, Words by Andrew Gillings)

Internationally renowned music producer and composer Henrik Schwarz is known for his eclectic musical approach to composition and sound design. As a producer and performer, he has successfully maintained a balance between electronic music, classical and jazz, and between energetic, highly charged dance sets at huge Techno events and concert performances in seated auditoriums.

Junge Junge is the DJ-production project of Michael Noack and Rochus Grolle. Both enjoyed their own respective successes as solo artists before the collaboration began: Grolle has been DJing and producing music since the early 2000s, while Noack has been DJing ever since he debuted on George Morell’s Groove On Records in 2012. Having crossed paths on various occasions the road—“We were always bumping into each other at random events,” they say—the duo decided to spend some time in the studio together in late 2012, only to discover a shared language and intention: “to excite people” with their music. Soon they began touring as Grolle & Noack before releasing 2013’s “Why” as part of the Schneeweiss II compilation on Oliver Koletzki’s Stil vor Talent imprint—albeit as Grolle & Noack rather than Junge Junge. 
The first official Junge Junge release landed in April 2015. Titled “Beautiful Girl,” and stemming from a spontaneous jam session at 2014’s Helene Beach Festival, the single landed on Get Physical Music. Pairing a feel-good bassline with the smooth vocals of Australian Kyle Pearce, the track served as a perfect example of the deeply melodic, pop- orientated sound. “Our songs automatically become melancholic, harmonic, and somehow ‘poppy,’” they say, describing their style as “pop with other influences.” 
Having heard “Beautiful Girl” played in a local beach bar on holiday in Ibiza, the Managing Director of Universal Music Sweden offered the duo a record deal on the spot. The first product of this arrangement was 2016’s “Run Run Run” single, followed soon thereafter with the Beautiful Girl EP which featured three original productions alongside the licensed title track. “Run Run Run” went double platinum in Sweden and has over 35 million streams on Spotify; while “Beautiful” went gold in the same territory. Earlier this year, the duo returned to the label with the “Postcard” single. Away from original productions, Rochus and Michael are also regular remixers—and can count Glashaus, Charlie Puth, James Arthur, Kyle Pierce, and Avicii as artists they’ve reworked. 
As DJs, the duo also continue to impress—although their tech-house sound is distanced somewhat from much of their studio output. “If we’re DJing we’ll play only tech-house or techno,” they say. “This is what has inspired both of us to play out music as DJs.” Following a busy few years of touring—during which they played Pacha Ibiza, Germany’s Magnetic Festival, HYTE on New Years Eve in Berlin, WET Open Air, to name just a few—the duo’s tour schedule continues only to grow. 2017 will see them combine bookings at large-scale festivals with smaller, more intimate club performances. 
Up next is the duo’s highly anticipated debut LP, scheduled for Spring 2018 release on Universal.

The Barcelona based DJ and producer's influence across the tech house and techno scene over the last 20 years is indisputable. 

His melodic masterpiece "Diabla", released in 2001 became a huge global hit and DJ Mag's 'techno record of the year'. Played by house, progressive, techno even trance DJs, its release saw the Scot’s career soar to new heights! 

Other hits "Jack Me Off," "Bad Coffee”, "Emotional Content", remixes for Underworld, New Order, and Laurent Garnier, plus releases for Bedrock, Drumcode, and All Day I Dream, are just a mere snapshot of his discography. 

Seminal mix compilations for Balance Series, Soma's Sci-Fi Hi-Fi, and Cocoon followed, further cementing his place in dance music history. 

Still not content with conquering techno, Sandberg was mystery figure behind “Francois Dubois”, with releases such "Blood" and "I Try" named as a big influence for Darius Syrossian, plus many other leading tech house DJs of his generation.

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.
