It´s not easy to find the right words for Krischmann & Klingenberg.
Are they progressive and dark or playful and melodic?
The answer is simply “YES!”

The names of Bastian Krischmann & Oliver Klingenberg are a synonym for driving percussions, powerful basslines and characteristic soundscapes. Progressive, dark, playful and melodic as well! Their productions clearly bear their own signature and with their endless passion they are able to set a course and affect the whole scene. Originally from Berlin and influenced by “old-school” techno as well as by a classical music education, the duo steadily provides novel and expressive output and inspires a new “techno-generation”. They always strike new paths, steadily reinvent their selves and don´t care about stereotypes.
Well-known labels like Naked Lunch, Driving Forces, I.CNTRL or Elektrax are the home of their productions, as well as various charts of famous DJs around the globe.

The Cologne-based guys are performing dynamic, varied and impulsive techno-sets when they are on stage. Krischmann & Klingenberg are a perfect unit behind the decks and their long-lasting and close friendship since 1999 was the ideal base to form that over the years.
During their gigs in clubs like the legendary “Tresor” in Berlin and festivals like “Nature One” or “Ruhr in Love” they always feel homelike, while their sound is considered a trend-setting German export in other parts of the world like South America, South Africa, Russia and all other parts of Europe.

Krischmann & Klingenberg are breaking new ground and present themselves in an energetic, innovative and fresh way.

Is this techno?
The answer is simply “YES!”

Marco Bailey is somewhat considered an icon when it comes to techno and the dance music industry as a whole. It starts with a beat, and for Marco that as in the late 80’s. In 2014 he celebrated 25 years of Marco Bailey, a true achievement for someone who is an ambassador for the scene as well as an amazing DJ and producer. 

He grew up in Belgium, and it all started out when he went to a small local club in his nearby city. At this point, he knew little and didn't have any musical heroes, but soon released that he would rather be behind the decks than on the dance floor. 

His break came in 2000 with his first EP on Carl Cox’s Intec imprint with “Play It Back”. Over the next couple of years he worked on his own imprint, launching MB Elektronics, with the first release in 2002 with “Caprioska”. The releases came flowing over the next few years, which saw the release of his critically acclaimed “Rube Boy” album back in 2004, soon followed by “Dragon Man” LP on John Digweed’s Bedrock in 2011.

His most recent album was with 12 track “High Volume” released back in 2013 on MB Elektronics, dubbed by some techno aficionados as a masterpiece. It was at this time, he also released an up close and personal documentary “Marco Bailey”.

His Electronic Force radio show has been a huge success from the get-go, with almost 300 episodes to date, he has had every artist on board from Carl Cox, Alan Fitzpatrick, Umek, Joseph Capriati, Sam Paganini and Carlo Lio. It’s heard by millions of listeners in more than 50 countries.

Marco has been touring relentlessly throughout his career, he’s an artist who can say he has probably played at almost every club in the world, and been listed at the top of major festivals. He hasn't stopped, and this summer was no exception his MATERIA brand taking a new home at Vista Club, Ibiza. Every Sunday, he offered artists including Sam Paganini, Carlo Lio, Julian Jewell, and Paul Ritch for the closing on the 28th August all came out to party with Marco and the crowd.

Mid October will see the release of the MATERIA compilation mix, a collection of tracks selected personally by Marco, of both his own releases and all the artists which played at MATERIA in Ibiza this summer. 

2017 continues to be another landmark year for Marco, with his first MATERIA residency considered a huge success, the brand looks to move worldwide, becoming a high-profile label and radio show as well and continuing to grow. He is a true pioneer of Techno, and has no plans to put on the brakes anytime soon.
