KiNK:
Say what you wanna say, but you have to give Strahil Velchev this: the man’s a powerhouse. Recording and playing live under the KiNK alias, he went on to become one of the finest purveyor’s of funk in techno and house. What it is, by definition, ain’t exactly clear. And that is the beauty of it.

KiNK’s music is unifying in the best possible way. Channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didn’t really matter who the faces behind the music were, KiNK plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. At the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the Pope himself is infallible.

The pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience – rather than carbon copies of existing designs – was what started KiNK’s production work. Hailing from Bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from Sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. Wanting to DJ without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. So, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond.

From KiNK’s early productions with Neville Watson to his smash-hit for Ovum, a cerebral album for Macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, Playground seems to take all that into a blender. Simultaneously a sound- summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of KiNK dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions find their idiosyncratic and contemplative counterparts – all of it coming down like a torrent in a drought.

Raredub:
Raredub is a Sofia-based music producer and DJ. Known for his high-octane energy, he infuses every set with a distinctive and dynamic vibe, regardless of when he plays.

Drawing inspiration from the early ’90s rave culture, Raredub puts a unique spin on his tracks. His music pulsates with raw beats and cutting-edge grooves, making a signature and bold statement.

In 2021, he dropped his first EP on KiNK’s Sofia Records, stepping onto the global music scene. His work has gained recognition by artists like Paul Woolford, Fjaak, Paggy Gou, Partiboi69, Skin On Skin, just to name a few.

Girl$ (Walker & Royce Remix)

Stockholm's Albin Myers and Carli met a couple years back and immediately recognized a shared love for 90s dance music. They reminisced together about stalwart acts like The Prodigy, Goldie, and Aphex Twin, and not long after their meeting, the Swedish duo hit the studio to recreate that 90s sound that Albin and Carli have dubbed 'Busy Tempo', eventually collating three originals known as 'The Legend' EP.

'The Legend' transports the listener to another generation of dance music; a time when the underground rave scene was a thriving subculture around the world. The music is comprised of big, breakbeat drums, emotive piano chords, and pitched up vocals -- all cruising along speedily at a mid-140s BPM. But while 'The Legend' is an homage to a decade past, Albin Myers and Carli have incorporated their own unique style to these three productions for a modern touch that cements the EP's relevance in today's dance music scene.

Vasily Sazonov, operating under the moniker Present Purple, has been deeply entrenched in the electronic music scene since his formative years. With an origin story that traces back to a childhood fascination with the latest Scooter albums in the '90s, Vasily's dedication to music has only deepened over time. His expansive collection, now exceeding 35,000 tracks, spans a wide array of genres from disco house to the more intense rhythms of hardgroove techno, illustrating his eclectic tastes and deep-rooted passion for the electronic spectrum.

Launching his DJ career in 2008, Vasily has since evolved, venturing into the realms of music production and mixing by 2020 with a specific emphasis on the pulsating sounds of tech house and techno. His artistic vision is heavily influenced by the seminal underground tech and progressive house scenes of the early to mid-2000s, an era that significantly shapes his musical output.

Present Purple's performances are a masterclass in dance music dynamics, seamlessly weaving together nonstop driving basslines, the visceral impact of heavy-hitting tribal drums, and the nostalgic allure of classic acid house elements. These sets are more than just music; they are an homage to the era that inspired him, a meticulously curated experience designed to captivate the dancefloor with the spirit of underground dance music's golden years. Present Purple's approach to DJing and production embodies a profound respect for the genre's history while continuously pushing its boundaries, making him a distinctive voice in today's electronic music landscape.
