My name is Julian and I started Cirque Digital around 2010. Several people were involved first, but later on I just kept on going by myself and Cirque Digital somehow developed into a podcast series. My plan always has been to form some kind of collective with friends of mine. At the end of 2011 I started extending Cirque Digital … we’ve had lots of guest DJ’s mixing music for the podcast series, some own parties and from then on I kept close contact with some special guys, who were willing to join Cirque Digital as permanent members. So this is it right now and I just call us a DJ collective. It’s about sharing and enjoying music, it’s about vinyl, diggin’ and all this stuff. It’s probably not about all kinds of music and definitely in most cases about our deep love for underground house music. But my own roots go back to hip hop from the good old days, which I still keep enjoying and sometimes playing. Thanks to all guys, who already contributed music to Cirque Digital.
Much love, get in touch if you like.

Über Deep88 ist nicht viel bekannt. Wer glaubt was bei RA über ihn steht, soll es glauben. Wir wissen nur soviel: Er pendelt zwischen Italien und Berlin.
Und wenn er das gerade nicht tut, kümmert er sich um sein Label.

Hi my name is S_EncE (pronounced like essence) and i´m from northern germany. I started making music about twelve years ago when a friend of mine got Propellerhead ReBirth. From that day on i spent a lot of my money on things for music-production. First i started with Propellerhead Reason Version 1.0. Later on i bought some hardware and was hooked on the knobs and cables-thing.Today, all of my music comes just from hardware, computer is just used to record it. Since 2 years my tracks come up like this:
i start the machines, program some patterns and melodies and then hit the record button and start a live-jam-thing. So, there is definately no total recall and stuff like that. Once a track is recorded i would not change it.
The reason why i´m producing music is that there are so many ideas and sounds and feelings in my mind that had to get out. And for me the only way to get them out is to jam with my machines.

Thanks for your interest.

One of the founders of City Fly; Jonna has been responsible for helping City Fly grow from being a small club night into a well respected Record label and radio show.

A mature US House, Deep & West Coast sound was the flavour of choice for Jonna even at such an early age. Inpired by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Derrick Carter, H Foundation, Pepe Bradock, Strictly Rhythm & Moody Records out of Chicago!
The future is looking bright For Jonna & City Fly with bigger and better parties coming up, already published releases lined up on City Fly from the likes of Creative Swing Alliance, Flori, Iron Curtis, Kez YM & Andres with Jonna also stepping into the Studio.

Mystery man hailing from Finland. Some people may know him, or at least have heard of him, but most don´t. And he likes it that way. 
There's a strong presence of raw house, modern techno, african and analoque sounds in TDJ´s music. Also, influences from Larry Heard, Moodymann or Theo Parrish cannot be denied. 
But since there are always more questions than answers, let his music speak for itself.
btw: TDJ´s latest release is out in February on Helsinki based HPTY- recordings. Check it out!

Alex is one of the leading minds behind lewdandloud. Born and raised in a small city in lower Bavaria DIY was just a natural consequence. Self-arranged parties at local spots were his first play times. As soon as he discovered electronic music he felt in love with vinyl and is still taking a stand for exclusively playing wax. His well sorted collection includes a wide range of mainly house music with a special focus on deep variety, Detroit- and dub techno. In general Alex got no blinders to the great variety of electronic music overall, what you can hear in his Dj- or live sets as well as in his productions. His music, not only performed solo, but also in company with friendly producers, shows his reflected view on house music.

Mallorca-based Satore started listening to soul, jazz, funk, disco, house, and techno under the influence of the American school from Detroit, Chicago, New York and San Francisco. He always paid special attention to Basic Channel’s dub, the deepness of Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus’ beats, and at the same time identifies with American house and the new wave of European producers who came to the spotlight at the end of the 20th century. After graduating as a sound engineer, he focused on his own productions, creating sounds with drum machines, a sequencer and some synthesizers, working on several projects with other ambient and jazz musicians, with a special focus on dub and deep house. Satore’s productions have been released on labels such as Minuendo, Feelharmonic, Instabil, Avantroots, and Deep Explorer. In 2011 he founded his own label, Hizou Deep Rooted Music, releasing vinyl by artists such as DJ Aakmael, Rick Wade, Anton Zap, and Gari Romalis.

In Süddeutschland mit den R'n'B-Sendungen des G.I.-Senders AFN aufgewachsen, setzt er seine Liebe zu Soul jetzt in Berlin in seinen House-Tracks um. So könnte man einen Text über Michael Siegle aka "Drei Farben House" beginnen. Man könnte allerdings auch schreiben, dass er in den 90ern mit dem Auflegen begann und seit dem Jahr 2000 Musik produziert. Nach einigen Releases ging er 2010 mit dem eigenen Label "Tenderpark" an den Start auf dem bisher Artists wie Roman Rauch, The Zohar, Alex Agore, Michael selbst und viele andere ihre Produktionen erfolgreich veröffentlichten.
Genung der vielen Worte, viel Spaß beim Hören.
