Romanian-born, Toronto-bred Simina Grigoriu has been steadily racking up accolades during her decade-long career. Starting off as a DJ, she quickly made the transition as a producer and kicked off her own label Kuukou, a home for techno forward productions, where she calls all the shots. In this time she’s also transplanted to Berlin, a place she now calls home and the major source of her creative inspiration, a source as diverse as her influences. 

Simina’s musical roots stem deep in her childhood when she studied classical violin and keyboard. Coupled with her parents’ musical legacy and her passion for Hip Hop freestyling as a teen, it encapsulates the foundation of her style, an avenue she continues to explore to this day. 

Garnering on the exposure of Toronto’s clubs, where growing up, the likes of Jeff Mills, Josh Wink and Juan Atkins struck a chord, Simina’s style grew and developed constantly into the straightforward and uplifting techno she fronts today. 

Her first productions came to light on the Berlin label Sonat Records in 2010 with the huge “Mukluks & Ponytails” EP, followed by releases with Phrase Insane Records in Spain, Italy’s Intellectro Vibe, Urban Sound and Frequenza Records. A debut album was sure to follow, as Exit City became one of Susumu Records’ highest chart toppers. 

After a yearlong break, where she focused her efforts on motherhood while keeping an active studio schedule, Simina christened Kuukou Records in July 2016 with her inaugural EP on the label “Techno Monkey”. Shortly after, she doled out “Matching Numbers” on POPOF’s FORM, an immediate hit EP complete with a smashing remix by Julian Jeweil. Since then, Simina has become a mainstay on some of the most notable labels in the techno world, with critically acclaimed, internationally-lauded releases on the likes of ELEVATE, Tronic Music, Set About, Prospect Records and Complexed Records to name just a few. 

An active globetrotter, Simina’s constantly touring, having wowed crowds at festivals and venues all over the world so it’s no surprise the Techno chief named her label ‘Kuukou’ (Japanese for airport). Since its inception the burgeoning imprint has gone from strength to strength, with a steady stream of hard-hitting releases from the likes of Torsten Kanzler, Gallya, Fabio Florido, Dusty Kid, BB Deng, Drumcomplex, Alfred Heinrichs, Martin Books and Daniel Boon amongst others.

Safe to say the coming months and years will provide a plethora of amazing releases, performances and surprises from one of Techno’s most dynamic ladies.

An experience of goosebumps when listening to electronic music inspired Ron to play out to the crowds and create his own sound. In 2009 he bought his first set of decks and started his collection of music, quickly he was playing out in the clubs. In 2010, he showed how fast he had progressed when entering a DJ contest and secured himself a gig on the Airbeat One Festival. In the following years he played in many clubs and open air festivals with a sound reminiscent of the artists ‘llusionize, Kolombo & LouLouPlayers’. The recognisable sound quickly gained a strong following within the heart of the German techno scene, supporting some of the biggest artists in the scene such as ‘Pan Pot’ and ’Stephan Bodzin’. In 2013, Ron played for the first time at the legendary Berlin club ‘Katerkiosk/Katerholzig’, demonstrating his progression through the scene. 

The overriding passion to start producing his own music meant long hours in the studio to develop his sound, this was followed by some early releases from 2014 on smaller labels. The scene was changing and Ron wasn’t satisfied with his sound, so in 2017 he decided to take a short break and worked tirelessly to produce the hard techno sound like ‘Lenske & R-Label Group’. The time away has proved a great success, his latest tracks have been signed to top labels like ’Audiocode, MadMade, Definition of Hard Techno, Finder and many more.

Early support for many of his tracks by Artists like Amelie Lens, Kobosil, Ihatemodels, Cassie Raptor, SveTec, Diøn, Metaraph, HardtraX, Keyo, Dstm, Perc and many more.

Jan grew up in Berlin and in early years he discovered his passion for music. With the age of 10 he entered the world of music by playing the piano. Within the next years he became more and more addicted to music and made one step forward- with the age of 13 when he started producing some early tracks.
Electronic music had always been a big deal for Jan but gained more and more importance when he moved to Brandenburg. The hard, dark and minimal techno-style of Brandenburg’s DJs had been a big inspiration to him and formed the base of his actual style.
After almost 5 years living in the exile he moved back to his hometown Berlin. Here he decided to get more professional and started studying musicproduction. As a part of this studying he emerged as a DJ but also as a Producer.
Getting more and more attention in Berlin’s music scene he started playing public in the year of 2007. The next years ran quick and the passion grew even bigger.
In 2012 he got famous in the fight against fraudulent promoters and the GEMA Tarifreform and he also split up with his former booking agency U9 Bookings, which wasn’t supporting his efforts.
In Summer of 2012 he played on a big demo against the GEMA which received a lot of public feedback.
After producing music for over 4 years without an official release until 2013 he decided that it was Time to face the public with an official release on the fresh label “Capitol Input”.
