Bob Morane is already a well-known character in the underground scene. Since 1997 he has been working on his musical career with an immovable commitment – behind the decks as well as a producer and a radio and tour host. Everything started with a residency at legendary Fusion Club in Münster (Germany). Bob constantly redefined his own sound – fascinated and inspired by the variety of electronic music. In his sets he skillfully combines the best from various genres. With the right feeling for the sound which represents him he is booked all over Germany and internationally. His was billed for clubs and festivals like WMC in Miama, Nature One, Ruhr in Love, Suicide Circus (Berlin), Studio (Essen), Hotel Shanghai (Essen), Butan (Wuppertal) and many more. Through his collaboration with Spedro many EPs and remixes came up on notable labels like Supdub, Elevation Ltd, Momentum and Cimelde. Bob’s Spaced Out EP, released on Broombeck’s label Yes We Can in November 2014, is also available on vinyl and received a huge amount of positive feedback. The result of a successful cooperation with John Lagora is the label Seoul Community. The imprint can look back at an impressive catalogue of artists like Kolombo, Kevin Over, MSMS, Spedro, Kasbah Zoo and Yooj.

Viva la Electronic is Bob’s second passion. This radio show broadcasted weekly hosts sets and label specials from Moon Harbour, Upon You, Avotre and Mindshake amongst others. The worldwide recognised radio show is broadcasted on more than 20 global channels. Viva la Electronica Magazine and Viva la Electronica Club Tour are also part of the project. International tour stops in the whole of Europe and South America testify the respectable range of the brand. Since 2013 Bob has been the host and resident of a series of parties called Frohnatur in Essen (Germany), where he also runs Viva la Electronica Techno Edition parties.

Bob Morane's caliber is impressive. He ensured himself a place in the first rows thanks to his quality and profundity. Either on the dance floor, in the radio or in his productions – Bob’s absolute commitment to House and Techno is currently noticeable in everything he does.

Reker war über ein Jahrzehnt ein prägender Teil der deutschen Technoszene. Als DJ, Eventmanager und Musikjournalist setzte er von 2010 bis 2020 kreative Impulse und gestaltete die Szene sowohl vor als auch hinter den Kulissen aktiv mit.

Seine redaktionelle Tätigkeit für das FAZEmag, eines der führenden Magazine für elektronische Musik in Deutschland, umfasste zahlreiche Musikrezensionen und Beiträge. Parallel dazu baute Reker die Techno-Community „Techno ist mit ohne Singen“ auf – eine der größten ihrer Art auf Facebook – und produzierte eigene Formate wie die T.I.M.O.S. Podcasts, mit denen er neue Künstler und frische Sounds präsentierte.

Als Eventorganisator und Booker war Reker für mehrere etablierte Clubs tätig, darunter das Kabelwerk in Mönchengladbach, der Butan Club in Wuppertal sowie der Tresor West Club in Dortmund. Dort verantwortete er unter anderem die Veranstaltungsreihe New Faces aus Berlin und organisierte die offizielle Mayday Afterhour 2020, eines seiner letzten großen Projekte vor der Pandemie.

Der Gewinn des FAZEmag DJ Contests im Jahr 2014 markierte einen wichtigen Meilenstein in seiner Karriere. Als Resident-DJ im Butan Club spielte er regelmäßig an der Seite namhafter Acts und überzeugte mit energetischen Sets. Festivalauftritte bei Nature One und Ruhr-in-Love sowie internationale Bookings in Wien, der Tschechischen Republik und auf Mauritius folgten.

Sein Studio, das er bis 2020 in Düsseldorf betrieb, war kreativer Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit. Dort entstanden unter anderem inoffizielle Bootlegs wie sein gefeierter Rework von Bjarkis „I Wanna Go Bang“ (2018) und ein Re-Edit von „Your Mind“ (Adam Beyer & Bart Skils, 2019), die beide auf SoundCloud veröffentlicht wurden und für Aufmerksamkeit in der Szene sorgten.

Im Jahr 2020 beendete Reker seine Musikkarriere aus gesundheitlichen Gründen vollständig. Die Entscheidung fiel in einer Zeit großer Umbrüche – nicht nur persönlich, sondern auch global durch die Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie.

Trotz des Abschieds bleibt sein kreatives Schaffen ein fester Bestandteil der Technogeschichte – als Künstler, der nicht nur aufgelegt, sondern mit Leidenschaft gestaltet, vernetzt und inspiriert hat.

DJ/producer Gunnar Stiller has seen Berlin transform considerably over the last couple of decades, soaking in influence as well as helping shape its development as a musical force, becoming a fixture of the city’s scene along the way.

Whether playing in clubs around the world such as Berghain/Panorama Bar and Watergate or Sisyphos and Ritter Butzke in Berlin, Hive Club Zurich, Baum in Bogotá and Glow Bangkok or producing his own tracks for respected labels like Upon.You Records, Smiley Fingers, Voltage Musique and Ballroom Records, Stiller’s technique is deep in character, an outward-reaching combination of techno and house with his trademark funk-tinged basslines.

Born in the sunny seaside town of Rostock, Germany, Gunnar Stiller found a change of scenery when his family moved to Berlin in the early 80s. Moving to such a beautifully chaotic, adventurous city was a key factor in shaping his musical perspective, and with the purchase of his well loved (and now worn out) turntables in the late 90s, he took his first step into a professional artistic career as DJ and producer.

In 2003 while working as manager for Berlin-based event agency No Ufos, Gunnar found himself in the heart of a perfect playground to gain insight and develop his own style, which at the time was focused on deep house, breaks and electro. Inspired by those around him such as Steve Bug, Matthias Tanzmann and Martin Landsky, Stiller quickly began to carve out his own sound that impressed not just the dancers filling the floor but also any promoter and organizer who was paying attention.

Pushing himself toward further success, he founded the artist alliance Edelmut in 2004 along with a few of his friends, an endeavor which quickly gained them notoriety as they played in the city’s top clubs like Watergate, Bar25 and later the infamous KaterHolzig , the latter of which invited Gunnar to become a resident DJ, a position he gladly accepted. On top of this, he became a regular player at the legendary HomeSweetHome sessions. His frequent and often lengthy sets (sometimes in excess of 10 hours) allowed him to explore the boundaries between (and beyond) techno and techhouse, creating a dramatic musical landscape that sets him apart from countless other DJs.

By 2009 Stiller had formed a solid intuition for exactly what moved listeners’ bodies (and spirits) and began his foray into production. His debut release, the Heideberg EP, and its followup the Manaus Madness EP – both on Voltage Musique – landed directly within the Top 5 German club charts, and Marek Hemmann’s remix of “Manaus Madness” was voted the #10 best remix by dance music authority Groove Magazine’s 2010 readers’ poll. It was around this time that Gunnar joined Upon.You Records as part of their label and booking roster, releasing a lot more EPs and contributing to the acclaimed label compilation Upon.You Diary, which was compiled by himself in 2014. These where followed by collaborations and remix projects with artists like Solomun, AndHim, Layo & Bushwacka!, Alex Niggemann, Danny Serrano, Ray Okpara, Nikola Gala, Larry Cadge, Samuel Dan, Nakadia, Dj Le Roi or Loko and more released tracks on labels like Clap Your Hands, Smiley Fingers and Time Has Changed. 

Meanwhile, Gunnar Stiller’s DJ career picked up exponentially as he established a name for himself outside his native Berlin borders. In the last few years, he has been booked to play at top festivals such as Sonar Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, Melt! Festival, Fusion and Sonnemondsterne, in clubs throughout Eastern and Western Europe as well as South America, Asia, Australia and Africa, sharing the booth with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier and Luciano. If you want to know where the global electronic dance scene is headed next, keep your eyes and ears on Gunnar Stiller…
