Founder / DJ for Kapital Music, Edinburgh

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Barry O’Connell is an Edinburgh-based DJ, producer and founder of the forward-thinking techno and electronic club night, Kapital.

He has been instrumental in crafting Kapital’s defining sound, which takes in everything from deep driving techno, to minimal tech house and trippy melodic electronics.

Of his DJ style, Barry says, “I enjoy trying to make a set flow well and I try to stay clear of a constant kick driven 4×4 techno sound, but like to think of it more as a melodic journey with the odd moment of twisted madness”.

Previous Kapital bookings include: Jon Hopkins, Gui Boratto, James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Michael Mayer, Stephan Bodzin,  Gaiser, Adriatique, Matador, Patrice Baumel, Mathew Jonson, Anja Schneider, Ellen Allien, Extrawelt, Daniel Avery, Max Cooper, Ivan Smagghe, Oliver Huntemann, Nathan Fake, Paul Ritch, Ryan Davis, Alex Smoke, Pier Bucci, Damian Lazarus, Paul Daley (Leftfield)...

Mathias Cruz is a French-Venezuelan DJ and producer born in Paris, shaped by a dual artistic heritage.
The son of a conductor and a cellist, he grew up in an environment where music was a native language. Trained in saxophone at the conservatory, he developed early on a refined ear, natural rhythmic precision, and melodic sensitivity that would later form the foundation of his sonic identity.

After studying at a fashion school, Mathias pursued a career as a designer for several ready-to-wear brands. This path gave him a sharp sense of textures, silhouettes, and visual composition — an approach he now brings into his sets and productions, blending aesthetics and musicality as two facets of the same language.

At the crossroads of his classical, electronic, and multicultural influences, Mathias shapes a universe where delicacy meets club energy.

Digger, collector, lover and dj at times i guess. As time goes it turns out ive been doing this for a while now - still doing it.
We are planning to relocate to Bali early next year and see where the road takes us, slowly meeting the good people and find a new house to call home.
Peace love and happiness

[briquerouge] is at the leading forefront of House Music since the end of the nineties - Independant House Institute for Proper Underground House Music operating since 1999 - created and managed from France by David Duriez

www.briquerouge.fr

The label has been founded by David Duriez who is known for making House and proper underground electronic music since the beginning of the 90's - 30 years in the music industry, founder and keeper of the [briquerouge] label, home of the best french electronic renegades since 1999, David Duriez is lurking in the shadow of the french Electronic scene, keeping it real and true. Artist in various styles of music, dj and innovator, he's always in search of new ways to distribute and value Electronic Music and always a step ahead. Definitely not just one for the hype.

Since 1994, David released over a hundred records under his name, tens under various pseudonyms, outputs mainly vinyl on the most renowned labels like 2020Vision, Ovum, Systematic, Pokerflat, F Communication, Mobilee, Under the Counter, Stickman, Classic Music Company, Crosstown Rebels, The End, etc .. (the list is long, see Discogs.com to be convinced) and as many remixes for some of the greatest (think Moby, DJ Hell, Telex, Random Factor, Johnny Fiasco, Paul Johnson, Kenny Hawkes or Mr.C).

Founder of the label Brique Rouge in 1999 and a whole galaxy of other labels, he participated in the creation of internationally recognized labels such as Robsoul, Freak n'Chic or Rz Muzik. David has carved out his own niche with his pigeonhole defying Brique Rouge label, and his helping to redefine the nations underground music. Brique Rouge has released deep house, jacking house, tech-house, acid house, vocal anthems and much more... Definitely a label for open-minded people, not stuck in one genre of House. 

In a time where two thirds of the tracks being released each week are sounding the same, either a click and paste formula track, a midi template used ad nauseum or just a classic being sampled to death, Duriez still think there's hope for House & Techno and focus to keep it true, groovy, creative, with soul.
