What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

TenGrams are brothers Alessandro and Davide, who collectively have a deep and long understanding of dance music. Davide is a co-founder of N.O.I.A, one of Italy's first electronic live acts to perform and record with drum machines and synthesizers as early as 1978. He was also behind seminal Italo outfit Klein + M.B.O and proto house hit 'Dirty Talk.' Since then they have released under an array of aliases, have clocked up many hits on Beatport and this new project brings them back to their electronic roots, with influences like sci-fi movies and old school techno looming large.

The Dandi & Ugo duo is born from a strong friendship and a great passion for techno music. It is their native land (Romagna) that takes them to frequent and,successively, perform in Rimini and Riccione's clubs in their most magic period (beginning of 90s). After a decade of DJ sets in clubs such as, among others,Echoes Liz Club / Cocorico' / Pascia' / Ecu / Peter pan / Classic Club / Madame Butterfly, they decide to switch to production thus starting a newadventure that takes them to realize records, initially with prestigious Italian labels ( Re>>Vox records / Stereo Seven Plus Records ) and next european labels ( Lasergun / Great Stuff / LuxaFlex records / Art minimal Berlin / Sammeplant z / Immigrant ) with a big success with creations from artists such as Rchie Hawt in/Len Faki Mihalis Safras / Florian Meindl / Marc Houle / Gregor Tresher / Someone Else / Xpansul / John Aquaviva / Mart in Eyerer / But ch / Mauro Picot t o / Markant onio / Joseph Capriati / Claudio Coccoluto / and many others. In 2006, together with Alessandro Piatto ( N.O.I.A / Klein & Mbo) t hey decide t o open t heir own label. This starts the birth of ITALO BUSINESS RECORDS, a project divided into 4 parts: vinyl, net label, digital download and booking agency. The discovery of new artists worldwide, and the support of internationally known DJs , makes of this label a referring point for the Techno movement."
