------------------------------
Giacomo Stallone is half italian half spanish and no, he’s not Sylvester’s Stallone son but in fact he’s a distant relative who chose not to make action movies but to give action to the dance floor. He was born in Freiburg (Germany) but it is more Andalusian than gazpacho because he has been living in Granada since 1996.
 
His interest in electronic music began since he was a kid, but it was until 1999 that he decided to take the plunge into the professional circuit, always having Techno in its most hard groove version as standard-bearer, which today is still his hallmark. His influences go from Kool & The Gang going through Warren G to The Prodigy or The Chemical Brothers; this makes having open vision when it comes the time to execute his sets. It didn’t take long for him to stand out on the spanish scene at the beginning of 2005, going through several of the most emblematic clubs such as: Florida 135 (where in fact he was headliner in one of the performances), Code World Tour, Industrial Copera, Basik, Escada, Amadis and many more.
 
In 2002 he began his career as producer, releasing on several record labels. But it is in 2010, with his track “Back to 2002” for the legendary label Kazoo Records (released on vinyl), when Giacomo's career takes a turn and puts him in the spotlight of the big techno labels on the planet such as: “Alchemy” (Mauro Picotto’s legendary label), “Patterns”, “Bitten” “Emphatic Records”, “Special Series” or “Backspin Recordings” among many others, becoming a benchmark of sound not only in Spain but outside of our borders. Giacomo had conquered the planet!
 
Today, Giacomo continues with his rebellious spirit, outside of fashions and getting back to make quality techno, true techno; the one which produces goosebumps and makes you sweat on the dancefloor, the one that is heard in the authentic clubs and doesn’t age over the years. His new label “Make Techno Great Again” is where he reflects this philosophy recovering new music from artists that are from the “old school” , and on the other hand he revived his old label Undershape Records which he founded in 2008.

The real techno back again bitche_s !

Starting at early age, Berlin based producer Jan Fleck has made himself a name in the harder electronic music scene for more than a decade now. Releasing his first solo vinyl by the age of 19 he created a numerous catalogue of EPs and Albums ranging from deep atmospheric tracks to uptempo industrial madness. Over the past years Jan played hundreds of club- and festival gigs as a touring dj and liveact – representing his own definition of energetic music to the floors – always hard but never undemanding.

Michele Perillo, aka HazzHard, was born in Caserta (Italy) on May 1, 1988.
At the age of 11, he began to cultivate his passion for music, playing the piano and taking music theory lessons.
A few years later, while listening to dance music cassettes, he began to appreciate everything with an electronic sound, particularly 4/4 house music.
In 2005, he was a party where, for the first time, he heard a Schranz DJ set and fell in love with the genre, which he decided to adopt as his musical career kickedstarted.
He began taking private music production lessons and began producing music.
In 2009, he became a resident of the famous Neapolitan group "Hardfactory." At the time, they were the first and only organization to bring the best Schranz DJs of the scene to Naples. This introduced him to most of the scene's established artists, with whom he still maintains excellent relationships and collaborates today.
In 2009, he launched the first Italian hardtechno label, publishing the best hardtechno/schranz producers. The label released for several years before going on hiatus, but it returned to full production in 2024.
His musical career also stalled for a few years due to the lack of interest in hardtechno over the past 10 years.
Fortunately, things have changed today; hardtechno has returned to the global scene, and with it, he has resumed his work as a DJ and producer, releasing releases on various labels, including Cause Records and Kube Records, and releasing several remixes for releases on his own label.

"Diversity is the key. Think out of the box!
 
Electronic Music is a way of life.“
- Giuseppe, August 2017


Giuseppe was born in 1980 and raised in Frankfurt, Germany, where the foundations of his love of a four-to-the-floor beat were laid when he became a drummer at school.  Little did he know that his fascination with such sounds were just the beginning of what was to become a life-long love-affair with driving rhythm.

As a young man he was irresistibly drawn to the burgeoning Eurodance scene and it was at this point that Giuseppe became a fan of high-energy acts such as 2Unlimited, Captain Hollywood Project and SNAP. 

By the end of the 1990s, this young dance music lover was so fascinated by electronic sounds that to him it seemed that the only logical next step was to delve further into the music scene and explore some of the harder, more underground sounds being played in  the nightclubs of this era.  It was at this point that Giuseppe first experienced Trance.

It was as a fan of Tillmann Uhrmacher, Talla2XLC and Paul van Dyk that Giuseppe for the first time, in a club environment, began to fully appreciate Techno . The combination of melodies used with a driving, urgent beat to produce a high energy track impressed him so much that he felt a burning desire to somehow contribute to the scene.  His move from away from Trance to harder, progressive Techno in some way signified the completion of Giuseppe's next stage of exploring the diversity of sound on offer in the world of electronic music

 

Acts such as Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Speedy J were key players in the music industry at that time and Giuseppe had an insatiable passion for electronic music. The first decade of the 21st century, therefore, became for him a voyage of discovery through many of the different genres available; from Trance, to House, to Tribal Techno, to Hardgroove, to Tech House... As long as as the music had that energy, Giuseppe would thrive on the buzz it created. Sub-genres became irrelevant to him.  He loved techno and sub-genres were less important to him than the sound of the music itself.

 Already Giuseppe had begun to think out of the box where music was concerned; he would not permit his voracious appetite for techno to be restricted by pigeon-holing the tracks he listened to.

Eventually Giuseppe's deep love of music led him to a career as a DJ which began in 2003. This continued until 2014, during which time Giuseppe played with pleasure and success at various establishments such as Clubs like MTW, U60311, Fusion Club, Butan Club, Dom im Berg and more. He was also came to be considered a regular guest at major events such as Nature One, Airbeat One, Electric City and more.

These days Giuseppe remains just as inspired as at the beginning of his electronic music journey by sounds with groove, with energetic rhythms, of between 125 to 140 beats per minute. And, these days, Giuseppe continues to think out of the box, not only in the music he listens to but also in the music he plays: any track which fulfills the aforementioned criteria you may find in one of his sets.  

Giuseppe can now look back upon an impressive fifteen years of working with electronic music and would be considered a multi-genre DJ. He believes that it doesn't matter if it's Techno, Trance, Progressive or Tech-House... Because what he cares most about is making sure that, whilst listening, you can't stand still!

For him, diversity in music, as well as  its groove and energy, are fundamental to the love he has for it.
