London-based DJ and producer Brett Gould has dedicated his life to house music. From a teenage residency at The Mud Club in Bagleys during the mid-’90s to acclaimed releases on respected imprints in recent years, Brett has firmly established his place within underground house.

Beatport Top 10s became the norm for Brett, who soon shared line-ups with his heroes, touring worldwide and across the UK with his energetic live performances and precision-engineered studio work. The deep, growling basslines, thundering backbeats and sheer danceability of his productions didn’t go unnoticed, earning him a reputation behind the decks through various residencies.

Brett’s biggest tracks included a four-month run in the Beatport Top 100, releases on legendary labels such as Solid Grooves, Snatch!, and Saved, and support from Pete Tong, Sasha, Jamie Jones, M.A.N.D.Y., Funk D’Void, and Nic Fanciulli — all leading to a Radio 1 airwave takeover with a “Lights On” guest mix for Monki.

With a life firmly on the up, Brett faced his biggest challenge yet: addiction. Now deep into recovery, and following a much-needed hiatus from the pressures of the music industry, Brett returned in 2025 with a new collaboration with Trilucid — released on the seminal Global Underground.

House & Disco, its that simple.

The musical roots of Dorade lie in the capital city of electronic music Berlin. But that is not the only thing from which you can tell that electronic beats are running in his blood. Dorade already brings along many years of experience as a DJ and producer and you can also hear it in his tracks: tech house with driving beats and funky grooves – just real club sound that makes all electronic music lovers dance. How it sounds like, you will know in September, when his new EP on Formatik Records will be released. So be excited, because in the near future you surely will hear a lot from Dorade!

Wolfgang Lohr is a Berlin based producer, composer, remixer, artist, and DJ whose career spans way back and encompasses a vast variety of different musical projects. Born in Bad Segeberg and raised in Lübeck (GER) by the Baltic Sea, where he served as a trumpeter, singer, and songwriter for the ska band “DaSKArtell” (@das-kartell).

He finally moved to Berlin in 2007 and dove right into its colorful and flourishing electro scene. Till this day he’s involved in several groups and productions, such as the Disco-House duo “DINKS” (@dinksmusik) and the Tech House outfit “Dorade” (@dorademusik), making him a mainstay of the scene who has created remixes for well known, fellow artists like Felix Jaehn, Parov Stelar, Alle Farben, The Manhattan Transfer and In-Grid.

His cover of Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road Jack” has surpassed a total of 90 million plays and has turned Lohr into one of the most sought-after Electro Swing artists worldwide, with a catalogue that now spans about 150 own tracks and remixes.

In addition to his musical endeavors, he has co-founded a Tech House label Coast Connection (@coastconnectionrecords), the “FDF” music blog (@free-download-friday), turned House-label “FDF Records”, as well as the “Electro Swing Thing” (@electroswing) label that has become a home to the versatile cross-over genre and amplifies the voices of its artists.

The euphoria of floating weightlessly adrift in a soothing sonic wave of peace, safe in the knowledge that you are exactly where you're supposed to be in this moment. The excitement of uncharted territory and far-off adventures, and the realization of the limitless opportunities available to the seekers. Music is my god, and she has filled my heart with these joys of living, the energy from which I hope to impart to you through every track, mix, and live performance I create - cultivated aural journeys of self-discovery and exploration. Our world today is bursting with melodic magic from the first children of the information age, intricate art birthed from the digital interconnecting of our planet. A great awakening is possible through exposure to these new world expressions, and so I strive to find the finest bleeps and bloops on the planet to share with our vibrant community, to aid as a soundtrack for your own path to the boundless possibilities of the future. Uniting souls through common joy and rhythm, safe and empowered to achieve an irreversible shift in consciousness through presence.

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone...
