Exactly 100 years after Albert Einstein, Markus G. is born in Münster, Germany. As home of the legendary techno and house locations Cosmic Club and Dockland, Münster becomes the western capital of the German electronic music movement in the 1990ies. At the age of 14, Markus discovers the Elevator, the first techno record shop of the region which strictly serves DJs, and starts jobbing there. Quickly he recognized his purpose and MG’s mixing skills develop fast and his preference for a dark and straight-forward style of techno emerges with it. MGness is derived from selection of music that he becomes known for: “Markus Gxxxxxr’s Nervous Exciting Sound Spectrum”. 1995 The Cosmic Club gets awarded as Club of the Year by the Raveline Magazine. During this peak of the techno movement in Münster, MGness designated as resident DJ into it.
He sets up his first proper sound studio directly above the main floor of the new Cosmic Club. Playing uncountable sets right before or after DJ icons like Sven Väth, Paul van Dyk, WestBam, Chris Liebing , Thomas Schumacher, Dave Angel or Luke Slater only feeds Markus’ addiction to perfection as DJ and producer even more.
With his first appearance as main live act of a Cosmic Club night, a dream comes true for the elec- tronic musician MGness in 1999. In 2002 MGness releases his first EP called “Re-EP” on Rawcanine Records, which is produced together with Kai Niggemann and Oliver Froning (Dune). As well in this Year the Raveline Magazine sends him as a DJ Instructor over to Ibiza for teaching the Art of DJing to Offspring DJs. When the Cosmic Club becomes homeless in 2003, MGness focuses on DJ gigs in clubs throughout Europe where he represents his musical home base.
End of 2004, MGness has the honor to produce the official anthem for Mysticland 15, the last event of the Cosmic Club makers. He performs it in his live act at primetime of this memorable final Cos- mic excess. His biggest release so far is “Elevator DJ Tunes”, a 2-CD compilation which is sold World-wide. The compilation includes as well as 2 exclusive productions by Markus. Looking for a new challenge he moves to Frankfurt he gets a residency at the DC Funkfurt clubbing event series by 2008. Getting deeper and deeper into production technology, MGness releases the well-received “Dreiundzwanzig EP” on October 23, 2009. While MGness is busy in 2011 doing remixes for different artists, he has projected in 2012 new own Releases.

Steven McIntyre, born in 1975 in Münster, discovered his passion for music as a teenager at a British boarding school, where he immersed himself in various pop genres and electronic sounds. His journey into the music scene began in 1990 with an internship at the record shop King Music in Münster, which led to his first DJ experience. He quickly gained recognition, becoming resident DJ at the Cosmic Club and from then on travelling as Steve Stix. His first own events, with headliners like Miss Djax, Ilsa Gold, Steve Mason and Scooter, caused a sensation.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, Steve's career blossomed as he performed alongside renowned DJs and opened his own record shop “Dundrum Records” in 1999, which was originally planned as record label. With residencies at Maria am Ostbahnhof in Berlin and Cosmic Club Münster, as well as founding Monopark events, he continued to create a stir in the electronic music, which had a major influence on the electronic music scene in northern/western Germany, especially for minimal and early melodic techno. He also worked as a freelance record critic for various dance magazines (Raveline, Groove …) and on the jury of the German Dance-Music Awards in 2000-2003. 
In 2013 he founded his own event and media agency, also dedicated himself to artist management and graphic design. His commitment to music production culminated in releases on renowned labels such as Traum Schallplatten and Stil vor Talent in 2023.
