Underground Techno/House label Fragmented Records, set up in the mid-90s, was run by myself. I released music from Dan Curtin, Morgan Geist, Jay Denham, Chris Gray, Paul Mac & Jaime Read. I've also produced music with Craig Walsh under the name The Cause for various labels. I have been involved in compiling a number of compilations, including Techno Nations, Deep States & Elements of Jazz. I have DJ'ed all over the world including Brazil, Uruguay, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Ibiza to name but a few, although I'm not active and Djing full time anymore I still keep my ear to the ground and guest spot on various radio shows when approached. I love House, Techno & Electro but have been collecting records since the mid 80s when I first got into clubbing and the Boogie and Jazz funk sound.

An emblematic artist of the Palestinian underground scene, SAMA’ is one of the first DJs and electronic music producers to emerge from the region. Her sound, an original punchy kind of techno, is dry and musical all at once and has quickly made its way across Europe and beyond.
 
SAMA, meaning ‘sky’ in Arabic, started mixing in 2006 in parties around Ramallah, Palestine. Several years later she started producing her own music and expanding her interest in synthesis in 2010, with a focus on techno, house, and other deeper sub-genres of electronic music.
 
The artist graduated from the United Kingdom with a BSc in Audio Engineering and Music Production, then moved to Cairo where she worked as a sound designer for film, became a music producer and then instructor. SAMA’ now runs her own Audio Engineering & Sound Design company working across films and documentaries in the Middle East. In 2017, she was selected as a Laureate by the French Institute, and during that time attended a residency at the International City of Arts in Paris. SAMA’ also runs a publishing company called Awyav, representing independent artists from the Arab world.
 
In late 2018, SAMA’s Boiler Room performance and the associated documentary about the scene in Palestine went viral and more and more people are seeing that music has no boundaries. SAMA’ was recently listed in SheSaid.So’s Alternative Power 100 List, and plays a high-profile set at Ibiza’s World Heritage Site of Dalt Vila for the International Music Summit in late May. She is currently working on a studio album.

To some he is the champion of the underground. Others see him for the first time and ask the person dancing like crazy next to them, "Where did THIS guy come from?"

Think of Detroit Techno and DJ Bone might not be high on your list of luminaries because he is 100% independent and does things on his terms and on his terms only. He won't tap dance or bend to fit the "popular" dj mold. Those who recognize Bone know him for his uncompromising and innovative ways.

It's no accident that two letters always precede Bone's name whenever he's on the bill. First and foremost, Bone is a DJ---in the truest sense. When he spins, it's as if the turntables and the mixer become a physical extension of his body. He employs every possible technique in the disc jockey arsenal masterfully: blending, scratching, backspinning, no monitors or headphones; unrivaled in his use of the fader switch and he incorporates them all into every set. From his standing room only residency performances to after-hours spots, he rocks every show as if it's his last.

What the general public and far too many DJs don't realize is that Bone spins as much for his own enjoyment as he does for the audience. It's a compulsion that only those who live for what they do possess and those who don't can never understand: Bone lives to spin-it's a necessary part of his existence. His dedication to the art of dance music and DJing is so untainted and intense that the tales of his confrontational encounters with flashy booking agents and "big name" djs are already the stuff of legend. No hype or trends, just a relentless drive and passion to take the party to another level. That's why he's one of the few spin masters other DJs hate to follow.

DJBone is one of Detroit's most coveted underground vinyl technicians. This very talented and highly sought after artist plays events and clubs worldwide, has held a residency at four of Detroit's top clubs and produces music inspired by the city in which he hales from, Detroit. His record label Subject Detroit is futuristic and unearthly while still displaying the true essence of Detroit's Techno Soul.

Bone experienced the emotion, passion and energy of Detroit Techno first hand at the infamous Music Institute. What he witnessed there, along with the eclectic mix of music filling Detroit's airwaves by the legendary Electrifyin' Mojo and The Wizard, would serve to be Bone's main influences.

Bone began his DJ career spinning groundbreaking sets weekly at The Love Club (The Shelter). From there he gained a dedicated following which eventually led to him playing at three different clubs five nights a week, as well as several underground parties in Detroit. An invitation to provide fortnightly, live mixes for the Deep Space Radio show on 107.5 in Detroit was also extended.

After hearing Bone in Detroit (1996 Love Club Anniversary Party), Laurent Garnier booked him to headline at the Rex Club in Paris. Soon after word spread and Bone was invited to play events all over Europe.

A lack of electronic music which fit his style led Bone to produce his own original songs to incorporate into his funky and eclectic sets. He took it a step further and started his label Subject Detroit focusing on true Sonic Soul.

In late 1997, Bone began his residency at the Motor Lounge in Hamtramck (bordering Detroit on all sides) pioneering an underground Detroit Techno night. Within a month, the number of Bone's weekly session attendees topped 1,000 as well as tens of thousands of others tuning in to his live set broadcast on the radio every Friday from midnight until 2 am (87.9 FM). Always looking to expand minds and move bodies, Bone took on the challenge avoided by so many DJs before him familiar with Detroit by name only. For nearly three years, he amazed his crowds, which included out-of-towners from as far as Japan and Australia alongside his Detroit faithful. Unfortunately, due to Motor's attempt to exploit what Bone had founded and loved, he decided to depart from the club and his residency.

Bone's observation of the trend to book producers to spin, as opposed to actual DJs, prompted him to go against the grain and establish himself as a DJ first and foremost. He believes that an individual's talent should speak for itself and not be overshadowed or misconstrued by hype.

DJ Bone describes himself as "an uncompromising, hype hating, 100% independent, real Detroit native come auditory striker and soul controller that cannot be bought".

"If the gig is set-up with the music as the main focus (as it should be), then I have total control over the vibe. That's my duty. I'm not worried about having a Hollywood production going on or special effects with video images, smoke, etc. Just playing the best possible music as well as I can. I feel the need to constantly progress skill-wise and I feel my 3 deck sets are truly unique. Many DJs have 3 decks in front of them but how often do they actually have 3 records playing all at once (with the levels up)?” – DJ BONE

OCCA’s dark, psychedelic sets mix elements of techno, minimal, breakbeat and house into a multidimensional structure ideal for the dancefloor. He navigates diverse sonic aesthetics like a maestro, aiming to transcend space, time and spirit, luring listeners into uncharted realms with his meticulous mixing style.  
He has been invited to play at prestigious domestic parties like DJ NOBU’s Future Terror and techno festival, Mindgames’ The Labyrinth. In recent years, he has embarked on frequent tours across Europe and Asia, counting performances at clubs such as Säule (Germany); Bassiani (Georgia); Mihn (Hong Kong) and Pawnshop (Taiwan). His overseas festival appearances include Wonderfruit (Thailand) and (Re)treat Festival (Vietnam). He is also active in the domestic scene as an organiser, running “ARCHIV” at Precious Hall club in Sapporo for over a decade; and has started to host conceptual events at prominent venues such as WOMB and VENT in Tokyo, and CIRCUS in Osaka. He collaborates on the world stage with artists like Spekki Webu, and collectives and labels such as System Revival and Axces Recordings.


日本の北端に位置する北海道札幌に在り聖域と称されるPrecious Hallにおける自身のパーティ”ARCHIV”をホームとしながら、渋谷Womb、表参道Vent、大阪Circusでコンセプチャルなイベントオーガナイズを展開する日本テクノシーンにおける特異点的存在。
OCCAのダークでサイケデリックなセットは、テクノ、ミニマル、ブレイクビーツ、ハウスなどの多角的要素を緻密な設計と能動的なミックスでダンスフロアに多次元構造を生み出す。多様な世界観を巧みに操り、PsychedelicでDopeなプレイを代名詞として時間・空間・精神を超越しリスナーを未知なる領域へ変容させる事を目的とする。その類稀な存在を見出され、DJ NOBUのFuture Terror、MindgamesのThe Labyrinth/ Balanceへの出演や、近年ではEurope/Asiaツアーを頻繁に行い、Berghain階下の前衛的な音が集うSäule/Berlin、Bassiani/Georgia、Mihn/Hong Kong、Pawnshop/Taipei、Wonderfruit/Thailand、(Re)treat Festival/Vietnamに出演している。
さらに、Spekki Webu、System Revival、Axces Recordings等のコレクティブと共鳴し彼の世界的な活動の輪は広がり続けている。
