Anthony Rother is described as an influential visionary, an electro pioneer and one of electronic music’s most prolific producers. For more than two decades Rother aggregated a vast musical canon that reflects his unique career as a sound researcher exploring the aesthetics far beyond the boundaries of electro, techno and pop music.

Starting his recording career in the late ‘80s, the Offenbach-based producer established himself in Germany’s electronic music scene with his first two releases, "Sex With The Machines" (1997) and "Simulationszeitalter" (2000). In 1998, he founded his label Psi49Net, allowing him to keep his artistic independence and showcase his vision of electro music that cultivated a unique storytelling approach, guided by dystopian future visions on societal changes due to technological progress. The vocoder-driven vocals and the dark dystopian synth sound with machine-like beats have become Rother’s trademarks, even before he found international recognition as a science-fiction avant-gardist with the virtual electro-pop project "Little Computer People" (2001) and his 3rd solo LP "Hacker" (2002).

In 2004, Rother created the Datapunk imprint to evolve an immediate, more song-orientated language that used simple melodies and even autobiographic anecdotes collected on "Popkiller." Perceived as one of his most venturous endeavors, yet his sonic shift had a decisive effect on many artists' careers: The Hacker, Boys Noise and Terence Fixmer published on Datapunk in its early days. While some of the experimental ambient recordings for Pete Namlook’s infamous label Fax +49-69/450464 reflects Rother’s prolific output, he also worked and co-produced with several prominent artists such as from former Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos, Sven Väth and DJ Hell.

After its success, Datapunk turned into an enlarging business which devoured both time and creativity to make music. In 2013, Rother decided to let the project rest and took a break that he used to move his studio while only producing music for his HYBRID sets. Through his self- contemplative retreat, he eventually rediscovered the artistic instincts that brought him back to his roots; both in terms of his renewed independence as well as how he channels creativity as a producer. In late 2017, Rother resurfaced with an EP on Danny Daze’s Omnidisc and contributed the track "Technic Electric" to Fabric 96 mix by DVS1. Last year, Rother returned to his Psi49Net label with a new album "3L3C7RO COMMANDO" that transports a clear message: Anthony Rother not only lives in and through his pure electro music, he still has something to say – here and now. The past represents the future!

In April 2019, Rother will release two 12’’ on DVS1’s Mistress Recordings followed by another EP as well as a conceptual LP for Psi49Net in fall. Moreover, Rother will drop a 12-inch on Radio Slave’s Rekids offshoot Stranger In The Night.

Ever since Animal Trainer launched their global party campaign, the Swiss duo’s unique brand of ‘slow rave’ has captured the imaginations of countless electronic music lovers all over the world and spread their gospel to thousands, if not millions, of music lovers. Adrian Flavor and Samy Jackson are the two men behind Animal Trainer, a dynamic duo which grew up on a diet of the world’s very best electronic music artists in their hometown, Zurich. Driven by passion for the music and an insatiable appetite for the party, Adrian and Samy have become two of the hottest properties on the international circuit and represent the epitome of what Switzerland’s new generation of artists has to offer.

Raised in a city with arguably the strongest club scene in Switzerland, Animal Trainer made their name through a series of parties called ‘Rakete’, which still take place at the infamous Hive club. The duo had already spent some time refining their skills as DJs before launching the event, but their sterling reputation was cemented at the club. It was only a matter of time before the ambitious duo pushed things a step further by injecting their love and passion into creating their own music.

In 2008 Animal Trainer dropped their first release, ‘Talkshow’, which was followed by releases with some of the industry’s most influential labels; Defected, Poker Flat, mobilee, Einmusika, Katermukke and their own highly-regarded Hive Audio label among them. More recently they released ‘Aeron’ on the influential Canadian label My Favorite Robot and have an abundance of material pencilled in for release, including original material and remixes for Freude Am Tamzen, You Are We and Mona Berry.

2013 saw the release of Adrian and Samy’s debut full-length album, titled ‘Wide’. Spread across 13 tracks, the LP demonstrated their maturity as artists, focusing on the dance floor, but also incorporating down-tempo cuts and collaborations with vocalists such as Jan Blomqvist and Jimi Jules. It was a resounding success, with widespread praise and leading publications such as Groove Magazine and Data Transmission weighing in with glowing reviews.

With each new release Animal Trainer push the boundaries of their sound, introducing subtle nuances, unforgettable hooks, emotive rhythms or enchanting melodies while retaining their own individual groove to keep the dance floor bubbling. It’s not an easy task, but the boys stay focused and lock themselves away in the studio as often as they can in order to maintain the high standard they have already set.
Their increasing popularity has taken them from Zurich, and all over Switzerland, to some of Europe’s most respected club spaces; Watergate (Berlin), Robert Johnson (Frankfurt), Studio 80 (Amsterdam) and Lightbox (London) among them. While their worldwide fanbase has also skyrocketed leading to a myriad international appearances and tours including; South America, the United States, Asia, Australia and Mexico, playing at clubs like Warung Beach Club, D-Edge (Brazil), Bar Americas (Guadalajara), Public Works (San Francisco), Revolver (Melbourne), S.A.S.H. (Sydney), Baum (Bogota) and many more.
In the years since their first release Animal Trainer have maintained a constant focus on high quality club music, staying relevant when others have followed the hype, and evolving into a force to be reckoned with. They are party boys who take their music very seriously, but are never serious themselves – it’s a winning combination that has kept them one step ahead and on a constant upwards trajectory. Whatever they do next you can be sure that it will be something special…

Tief im Erzgebirge befindet sich nicht nur die ehemalige Karl-Marx Stadt, heute allgemein bekannt als
Chemnitz, sondern auch viel musikalisches Machwerk, sogenanntes Talent oder wohl eher schon
eine gereifte Marke!
Quasi ein fundamentales Evergreen, wenn man an hiesige Technofloors denkt.

Die Rede ist hier natürlich von ZAHNI!
Das deftige Chemnitzer Urgestein hat sich bisweilen in den Riegen des großen Live-Actings eingefunden
und mischt gewaltig die mitteldeutschen Hardtechno Areale auf.
Alex absolviert dabei nicht nur harte Solo-Marathons, sondern gibt regelmäßig auch noch Live-Shows in Combo mit niemandem geringeren als Schrempf
(bekannt durch Hanson & Schrempf).

Musik im Wandel! Zahni's brachiale Sets erreichen immer mehr die Republik, ob Nature One, Syndicate,Ruhr in Love oder regionale Über-Events wie die wohl
bekannten Partys im Mirage Ballenstedt oder allerlei im Leipziger Raum - kaum ein Event lässt Ihn auf dem Flyer vermissen.

Man macht sich halt, Alex hat definitiv überzeugt, mit der Zeit entstand eine immense Fan-Crowd.
Dein Beat in Gottes Ohr, Zahni hat es definitiv geschafft, manche fragen sich wo das noch hinführen soll -
Die Antwort liefert ein Blick in die Dateliste des Strezzkidz'. Sputnik Springbreak und Sonne Mond & Sterne sind nur 2 Stationen von vielen in diesem Kalenderjahr.

Auf Auf, immer heiter weiter!
Zahni lebt das, was er predigt: "wir können hier nicht anhalten".
Somit weis jeder wo die Reise hingeht - definitiv hoch hinaus!

WE MAKE STREZZ!!!

German/Deutsch
Life is live - Das Life von Alex ist im Moment mehr als nur live, denn Alex alias Zahni, ein 27 jähriger Hardtekk LiveAct aus Chemnitz, ist nicht nur einer von vielen Acts im Moment, sondern lebt genau die Vision die viele andere anstreben. Durch seine starken Live-Performances hat er sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus einen von den gängigen Techno Line-Ups nicht mehr wegzudenkenden Namen erspielt. checked seine Dates und achtet vor allem auf die dicken VS-Gigs mit Hanson-Gegenstück - Schrempf.Dass man „Zahni“ nicht mit dem Hardstyle-Act „Zany“ verwechselt, dafür sorgt schon sein Sound: Der Bass tritt jedem Tanzmuffel in den Hintern und die Snares schmerzen wie Peitschenhiebe, während man Melodien mit der Lupe sucht. Zahni live – das ist dieser typische nach Osten schmeckende Hardtekk der Marke Strezzkidz. Jenem Techno-Imperium aus den neuen Bundesländern.
Als Aushängeschild der Strezzkidz-Agentur wird Zahni auch weiterhin dafür sorgen, dass jeder auf dem Floor die Beine schwingt, hier bleibt keine Zeit für Kompromisse.
2010 spielte Zahni über 130 Gigs, 2011 sogar über 150, und als wenn dem nicht schon genug wäre ist das aktuelle Jahr schon fast ausgebucht!

World/English:
The live-act from Chemnitz is one of the most demanded acts of 2011 so far. His agenda of 2011 was totally packed with bookings at parties all over Europe. As a member of the Strezzkidz-clan, Alex has built up a “no compromises”-reputation. Another hardtechno artist that makes the step from Ruhr-in-Love to the huge Westfalenhallen: a new SYNDICATE hero!
