David  Mayer is a boundary-defying producer and DJ whose sonic palette has been shaped by an extraordinary multicultural upbringing spanning Germany, Spain, Norway, and ultimately Berlin, where he settled in 2004. This rich tapestry of cultural influences has cultivated his distinctive approach to music—one that refuses to be confined by genre conventions. No matter the genre, his passion for funked-up, pounding four-on-the-floor beats dominates his creative output. When spinning records and producing tracks, he presents his interpretation of catchiness, blending techno and house, and adds a touch of depth, but always keeps an eye on making his audience move and groove.

David’s music has traveled the world, releasing on world-renowned labels such as Connected Frontline, Ouïe, Objektivity, Gruuv, Audiomatique, and Keinemusik.

Nico Stojan’s inspiration is the universal truth that everything vibrates, and that’s why he embraces the transformative power of music. The Berlin-based DJ, producer, and label head, embraces the power of music as a unifying force. Drawing inspiration from various genres, he creates dancefloor moments that bring joy and nourishment to his audience. Nico's journey began in the 90s when he discovered turntables in his uncle's discotheque, marking the start of his successful career. His unique blend of musical energies combines jazz, hip-hop, downtempo, indie, and melodic electronics. Whether it's a beach, festival, Burning Man, or an intimate club, Nico adapts his style while maintaining his signature groove. He goes beyond sound, incorporating scents and other elements to deepen the sensory experience. Collaboration is key to his artistry, particularly with Acid Pauli, as they co-run Ouïe Music. Nico's releases on esteemed labels like Crosstown Rebels showcase his distinct, groovy sound. Ultimately, Nico Stojan believes in the transformative power of music, using it as a portal to connect with his audience.
