Michał Dobrzyński aka www.soundcloud.com/emde is one of the most promising and the busiest electronic Dj and Producer from Poland. Apart from djing (Emde played in almost all important clubs all over Poland), he is known not only for various collaborations with growing and well-known artists from all over the world, but also for running his own label called Prismat Recordings, whose releases are well-recognized and supported by many top artists. Often invited to play in Europe, Emde finally made it in 2014 and took part in Barcelona’s Sonar Music Festival as part of Talk Music crew.

Originally from Hel (the tourist city in the north of Poland), Emde resides in Trójmiasto, the mecca of many genres of polish music, where the world trends have always been quickly followed, partly because of sailors smuggling not only forbidden goods, but also (what was essential for the clubbing scene) the vinyls. 

The inavailability of vinyls in Poland belongs to the past, but open-mindedness and the search for good music have stayed and Trójmiasto is one of the most important clubbing cities in Poland, as well as a place to be visited by thousands of tourists every year. It is all reflected in the productions of Emde, who draws inspirations not only from the closest to Poland, Berlin scene of house and techno, but also from such countries as Italy, Spain, the UK, the US, or even Japan. The style of house produced by Dobrzyński has led him to many interesting collaborations: the ones with Julio (Italy) and Iori Wakasa, Emde's tracks were released by labels like Suara (Coyu’s label), Nervous Records (NYC) or Save Room Recordings (Florian Kruse’s label). Such important releases cover often such artists as Dave DK, Ada, Martin Eyerer, Mihai Popoviciu, Tapesh, Sidney Charles, D-Nox and Beckers, Haetrik, Affkt, Sante or Soliman and are followed by Luciano, Reboot, Andre Crom, Kolombo, Waif & Strays, Leon (Italy), Gary Beck, Robert Babicz, Nico Lahs, Coyu, Robert Dietz or Pirupa. Some of Emde’s tracks or remixes, even being a few years old) are still played regularly on the sunny beaches of Ibiza. What is important, is that Emde’s own tracks were remixed by such artists as Andre Crom, Martin Dawson, Nice7, Saytek or SCSI-9.

www.soundcloud.com/jprzezdziecki was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1973. At the age of 10, as a result of his early, classical fascination with Chopin, Beethoven and Bach, he started his piano lessons. At that time he totally felt in love with music. As the years went by, his passion was getting stronger and stronger. Studying at the Warsaw College of Art he had the first opportunity to hear some electronic music. Front 242, Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle, SPK and Coil changed Jurek’s attitude for the music forever. It was no longer enough to listen. He wanted to create.

No matter what music genre he’s currently in, there’s always one goal: originality. He never stops creating his own definition of music. Always searching for it’s new emotional character and aesthetic form. Despite the strong need for harmony, he likes to experiment and goes far beyond style conventions. His inspirations come from all kinds of contemporary music.

As an electronic music producer he produced 2 LPs, many EPs and single pieces. He had a chance to present his music in Japan, Australia, South Africa, Brasil, United States, Canada, Portugal, Norway, Germany and of course in Poland. Nowadays techno and minimal music became the focus of his musical interest. He records for Cocoon Recordings, Boshke Beats, Whirlpoolsex Music and for the polish Recognition Records. Today his appetite for self development seems to be as big as it  used to be. He continues private studies of composition and contemporary music theory.

Polish producer and part-time philosopher Marcin Sonnenberg is angling his way out of the anonymous army of post-dubstep bedroom producers. His approach holds Bristol trip-hop and the singular sound of James Blake at its core, orbited by homeland contemporaries like Eltron John, new weird American folk, and the Hyperdub consortium. Distilling these influences, Sonnenberg’s sketches assemble pitch-bent synths, skipping percussion, glossy R&B samples, and an affinity for gloaming surface static carried over from his early days as a novice beatmaker, when the sound of scratched hip hop records set him in motion.

In the musical temple of temperament they have achieved equilibrium between the impulsive and the soothing, the mysterious and the direct. Temper Temple is producer Kwazar and vocalist Kasia Malenda. They play for others to dance and contemplate providing sensual, but straight dancefloor experience.

Kasia – the owner of a magical, characteristically husky voice. She loves freestyle, however, she is engaged in many styles – from jazz, through electro, funk, reggae, to rock. She has performed in countless clubs, at festivals, but also in the philharmonic. A soul full of energy that won’t stop singing and finds solace in harmony. 

Kwazar – a dude with a fixation about good sounds. A positively nutty crackerjack with 14 years stage experience, and, for the past several years – a studio rat. Lover of both chaos and aesthetic minimalism, who is inspired by groove. Unpredictable – infects and cures with what plays in his heart.

Together they create sounds from the borderline of alternative electro, streaked with broken beats, bass and soul. You can listen to this music blend on Temper Temple’s premiere single - "Changes".  The track was released in September 2012 on the RBMA Bass Camp Warsaw compilation.

They love to jam live...
