When the Sick Girls started to spin their favorite tracks in clubs back in 2004 Berlin was still all about Techno. A change was overdue and the girls found themselves right in the center of it. Grime, Dubstep, Bass; The new sound from the UK underground combined with Gangsta Rap, B-more and Digi-Dancehall was ringing in their ears; Playing for the heck of it proved to be a welcome change from the Berlin Techno monopoly, providing the girls with a platform to showcase all varieties of bass heavy music. More and more fans jumped on board along the way, until it was time to give the maximal sound a home; Sick Girls set up their own party series in 2005, called - Revolution N°5 - a sound concept with no borders and rules, that obeys one master only; the bass has to kick ass! The Sick Girls combine elements from a plethora of music styles, bringing them all together in one big cutting edge hybrid state of the art of contemporary dance music. Playing around the world with like minded folk including Buraka Som Sistema, M.I.A., Major Lazer, Dizzee Rascal, Bonde Do Role etc. alongside presenting their Revolution N°5 clubnight back home in Berlin as well as braodcasting a monthly FM radio show; they are at the epicenter of a self moulded scene, and ready to go off; sick style! 

The Italian-German composer, DJ and founder of the record label 99CHANTS. He has been releasing music since 2010, but it took self- evaluation and a re-examination of his priorities for August to lean towards the future and follow his most experimental inclinations.
In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience.

In today’s electronic music world there are not many artists who can lay claim to a legacy like that of DJ T. Born in Dusseldorf, DJ T. (aka Thomas Koch,) re-located to Frankfurt with his family in the late 70s. During his formative years, he fell for the hypnotic grooves of disco, inspired by his parents’ record collec-tion. At the age of nine he was already completely enraptured by music and that love affair continues until this very day. He began an obsessive quest to collect music, feeding his soul with everything from Disco and Hi-Nrg, through to early Hip-Hop and Electro, Soul, Funk and R’n’B. The groovy, infectious rhythms of all those genres continue to permeate into the music he makes and plays today, providing an intrinsic part of his sound ethic. 
He took up breakdancing, before becoming a DJ, playing at private parties ini-tially before landing his first professional gigs in the late eighties. This period proved to be a pivotal moment in his life as Acid House swept through Europe, landing in Frankfurt and taking over with the launch of Sven Väth’s legendary Omen club in 1988. The first wave of House and Techno took hold and T. was there at the forefront, absorbing all the fresh new sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK. He picked up a residency at the infamous Music Hall and held resi-dencies at countless clubs across the city during the next 10 years from Plastik and Dorian Gray to The Box. By the end of the nineties, he was one of Frank-furt’s best-known selectors. 
In 1989 DJ T. tapped into another side of his creative energy to set up Groove Magazine. Identifying a gap in the market and fuelled by a need to satisfy his own desire for specialised music journalism, which focused on his interests – namely underground dance music. Under his leadership the magazine was launched into the public’s consciousness and he guided Groove to become one of Europe’s premier dance music publications, which it still is today. 
DJ T.’s progression continued at a pace, as he launched his own club, Monza, using the experience gained through a decade of club events and tours under the Groove Magazine banner. He also invested his skills and knowledge into con-ceiving Get Physical – a label, which remains one of the world’s best- known House and Techno platforms. Though he left in 2010, T. still occasionally A&Rs for the label, lending his uncanny ability to uncover new talent to the seminal label. 
Production-wise, he has been consistent ever since his debut release, the ‘Mon-sterbaze’ EP with Steve Bug, which was released on Poker Flat in 2000. Since then, T. has released several well-received EPs, a slew of remixes and three al-bums, ‘Boogie Playground’ in 2005, ‘The Inner Jukebox’ produced with Tho-mas Schumacher in 2009 and ‘Pleasure Principle’ in 2011. His special touch has also been employed by numerous labels to curate compilation mixes , including ‘United Under The Ball – 30 Years Of Disco’ in 2011 and ‘The House That Jack Built Vol 1 & 2’ in 2012. In 2013 he celebrated 25 years of DJing with a very personal mix compilation, followed also by ‘Body Language 15’ and col-laboration with Defected and Strictly Rhythm to celebrate the latter’s 25th anni-versary. DJ T.’s reputation for being a master selector has been cemented by these superlative collections of music, each of which has received widespread praise, often featuring many of T.’s own edits of classic tracks. 
Despite so many accolades, his passion for music remains staunch, recently making several key changes to his professional life that have inspired him to explore new terrains. With hot new releases on AUS Music, Moon Harbour, True Soul and Jackathon representing his continued to desire to push his crea-tive boundaries. 
A highly-skilled DJ and producer and an A&R with an uncanny ability to dis-cover a nurture new talent, DJ T. is a master selector and one of the industry’s most influential figures.

Schlechter Einfluss

Was Bonnie&Clyde für das Amerika der 30er-Jahre darstellten, sind Luigina und Moritz Stiefel für die hiesige Klubkultur. Selbstredend rauben sie keine Banken aus und haben auch nicht vor, den Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten unsicher zu machen. Nein, das Ehepaar Stiefel hat sich auf die Musik konzentriert, der sie als allseits bekannte Soundlovers schon seit mehreren Jahren Tribut zollen. Obwohl sie ihn in ihrem Namen tragen, übt das keineswegs einen "schlechten Einfluss" auf die ansässige Klublandschaft aus. Ganz im Gegenteil, ist es doch immer wieder eine Freude für's geschulte Ohr, wenn das Ehepaar hinter den Decks mit ihren auserlesenen und sorgfältig vorbereiteten Sets für Furore sorgen. Ihnen einen Genre-Stempel aufzudrücken, fällt nicht leicht und ist auch gar nicht nötig, denn ihr durch Hip Hop beeinflusster Mix aus Deep House, Disco und House macht jede weitere Erklärung hinfällig. Aus den besten Zutaten dieser Musik-Stilrichtungen, kreiert der Spitzenkoch und seine Angetraute, deren Wurzeln ebenfalls in der Gastronomie zu finden sind, ein musikalisches 5-Sterne-Menü, dass alles andere als schwer verdaulich ist. 

Neben ihrer Passion für Musik, die sie als DJs ausleben, engagieren sie sich seit dem Sommer '10 als aktives Organisationsmitglied beim Nonprofit-Veranstaltungskollektiv "Göndmolchliab" (GMCA) für ein hochstehendes und abwechslungsreiches Kulturprogramm in der elektronischen Musik. Das GMCA-Kollektiv, das seinen Ursprung mit Simon Terry im ehemaligen Luzerner Kulturzentrum BOA hatte und inzwischen vorwiegend im Sedel beheimatet ist, war gleichzeitig die erste Plattform, auf der sich der "Schlechte Einfluss" bemerkbar machte.

Inzwischen folgten Gigs an der Seite namhafter DJs wie Ost&Kjex, Niko Schwind, Kellerkind, Till von Sein, Mihai Popovicu, El_Txef_A, David August, Sebo K., Basti Grub, Franco Bianco, Julietta und vielen weiteren Künstlern. Dem Ruf der grossen Klubs folgend, der diese Präsenz nach sich zog, standen sie bereits im Südpol, Strichpunkt, Tunnel, Treibhaus, Rok, Freundeskreis und der Viscose-Eventbar hinter den Plattentellern. Doch spätestens das Booking der renommierten Zürcher Zukunft und des Reviers, machten deutlich, dass von den beiden Luzerner Stadt-Originalen noch einiges erwartet werden darf.
