What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

Holger Nielson (District4 / Ragnarøk / Berlin)
Holger Nielson, originally born in the South of Germany, began his DJ career in the first days of the emerging Berlin techno scene.  Since then, Berlin has been his home and mainstay as he grew that into club residencies, record labels, and beyond.
Using his alter-ego “Holgi Star” and his label Kiddaz.fm, Holger had worldwide success early on and was touring regularly.   From Brazil and other parts of South America to Japan, Europe, Russia, and Ukraine, there were few places in the world he did not tour.  Later in his career, Holger felt that it was time for something new and decided to further his sound with a new, purer techno persona, thus “Holger Nielson” was born.
In addition to this project, Holger also runs the label and agency District4 with his old partner DJ Emerson (CLR) a project that showcases another side of techno featuring acts like Thomas Hoffknecht, Aleja Sanchez, and Deas just to name a few.
Both influences together embody Holger’s sound; a great mélange of straight "four to the floor" techno ,in which you hear and feel his long experiences, and his 20 Years of always being in the middle of techno’s ever changing landscape.
Holger Nielson is Techno and Techno is Holger Nielson, so let´s dance :)

The story of King Street Sounds starts at the Paradise Garage in New York City, the iconic nightclub that birthed the soulful house music movement. Once home to the late DJ Larry Levan, the Paradise Garage has had a major influence on the career choice and artistic style of house royalty such as David Morales, Louie Vega and Junior Vasquez, and was a keystone for the region's LGBT culture, particularly for Black and Latin American men. This spirit, along with the iconic music the Garage cultivated, inspired the foundation of King Street Sounds in 1993. 

Japanese founder Hisa Ishioka continues to spearhead the label’s output, maintaining King Street Sounds’ position at the forefront of dance culture. Predominantly focusing on its roots in house music whilst also pushing the sonic boundaries of the label to include Afro, Latin, jazz and tech-infused records, King Street Sounds has a global repertoire with a worldwide following. Household names such as Blaze, Barbara Tucker and Ultra Naté released exceedingly successful records such as ‘Most Precious Love’ and ‘Party Girl’ on the label, while house legends Kerri Chandler and Dennis Ferrer signed their seminal albums ‘Trionisphere’ and ‘The World As I See It’ to King Street Sounds. 

Fast forward to today, King Street Sounds continues to honor the legacy of the past thirty years, weaving its music into the modern ecosystem to educate and entertain new ears and existing fans. Through the continued work of label founder Hisa and a dedicated team of dance music experts, a new wave of talent pumps the beating heart of this legendary label.

"Sound creates music" – The sound created by Roter & Lewis is at all times groovy, heavy on the bass, explosive and always innovative.
They have been a perfect duo for years (DJ & Producer), a duo who creates their own sound which ranges from deep to techhouse.

In 2014 they released their first album "Good Morning People" (Stylerockets / Kiddaz FM) in which no common thread could be found because they let off steam in some musical experiments.
Last year the guys turned fully back to their musical roots which can be heard in there Remix for "Dennis Ferrer - Underground is my home" & “Cevin Fisher – The Message” and also in their new releases.

Strictly Rhythm Records is house music.  Since 1989 the legendary New York label not only put out records by almost every name in the game, but it also defined house music throughout the 1990s with Erick Morillo, Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Armand Van Helden, DJ Pierre, Roger Sanchez, Josh Wink, Ultra Naté and Barbara Tucker.  As well as keeping the underground stoked with a steady supply of club grooves, the label also delivered a stream of crossover hits with Reel 2 Real’s “I Like To Move It”, Ultra Naté’s “Free”, Wamdue Project’s “King Of My Castle” and Wink’s “Higher State Of Consciousness”.  

Relaunched in 2007 after a five year break following a short-lived venture with Warner Music, Strictly Rhythm did what no dance label had ever done: successfully re-launch itself.  The label made many of its classic releases available on digital download for the first time and signed new productions from the likes of Quentin Harris, Osunlade, Bingo Players Vs Chocolate Puma, Dennis Ferrer, Michel Cleis, Dirty South and Bob Sinclar.  
Always an innovator, the label that invented the 12” white label and put out the first ever commercially released DJ Mix CD in 1993 (The Tony Humphries Strictly Rhythm Mix) is still at the cutting edge, finding and promoting the best in house music.
