The French-Brazilian DJ, music producer, and live-act Ella Romand have been lighting up the dance scene for over a decade, combining the rhythms of her home country Brazil with Deep and Melodic House.

Her background as a pianist led her to perform live during her DJ sets, first with her electronic music group Dsided, then on her own solo live acts, where she takes the crowd into a melodic journey with her keys and synths.

Her passion for music started early on as she is a classically trained pianist. She went further with her career and moved to the U.S. to pursue a Degree in Music, specializing in Music Technology at Florida International University.

Based in Miami, Ella blends her moody melodies with the ethnic sounds of her home country Brazil, which has allowed her to play alongside DJs like Lee Burridge, Bob Moses, Bedouin, Satori, Behrouz, YokoO, Eli & Fur, and many more. Ella was also invited to co-produce, compose and perform with the acclaimed New World Symphony, working with over 8O musicians for a one-of-a-kind encounter of Classical and Electronic Music.

Ella has performed in countries like France, México, Colombia, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Mozambique, and Brazil; while in the U.S. she has performed at major festivals such as III Points and Ultra, as well as Avant Gardner (NYC), Elia Beach Club (Virgin Hotels Las Vegas), W Hotel (Atlanta), Serafina Hotel (Puerto Rico). In Miami, Ella has played and held residencies at underground parties and top venues such as Do Not Sit On The Furniture, Faena, TreeHouse, Floyd, Electric Pickle, 1800 Lucky, SLS Hotel, Le Rouge, and many others.

Her newest endeavor is her radio show called Ellaments on Frisky Radio, which surpassed 100K plays in less than a year. The show features new and upcoming artists and labels of Deep, Organic, Afro, and Melodic House. As Producer, Ella has tracks released with Manual Music, Go Deeva, Minds Alike and she also recently collaborated with the talented Italian producer Giorgia Angiuli on her new label United.

Ajay Raw is one of SXM’s top-ranked house music DJs. His eclectic style is a masterful blend of the European, Dutch & French cultures of his home, St. Maarten/St. Martin, with an inevitable infusion of his Caribbean island heritage. He has made people move to his deliciously unique sound at parties all around the USA, Europe, and the Caribbean.

DJ Ajay Raw has played the main stage at SXM Festival, one of the world's leading underground electronic music festivals where he has shared the stage with the likes of Sebastien Leger, Marco Carola, Blond:ish, SiS, and Paso Doble, to name but a few.  This year Ajay had the pleasure of hosting and playing alongside  Sebastien Leger at ELEV8!

These days, Ajay Raw is most known for throwing SXM's legendary ELEV8 hilltop parties on Sentry Hill, where he is not only the Creative Director and driving force of these sold-out parties but also the resident DJ.

In his early childhood, exposure to an eclectic combination of Disco & Funk and synth-infused 80's music laid the foundation for his eternal love of tribal, deep, and progressive house. Ajaw Raw's house music influences include Roger Sanchez, Carl Cox, Erick Morillo, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, and Sasha in his early years... to Black Coffee, Lee Burridge, Matan Caspi, Sebastian Leger, Sam Shure, and Luciano today. This directly translates into his infectiously groovy sets, which are a perfect infusion of melodic, organic house with jacking backdrops, groovy basslines, and occasional sexy vocal hooks often underscored with an afro or soca house beat. Tours in Ibiza and Tulum have added a touch of Balearic grooves and Bohemian vibes to his ever-evolving musical journey.

Don’t let his island roots fool you though, Ajay Raw is no stranger to the big city vibe! He has rocked the capital city of Washington DC’s underground house music scene from 1999-2003 prior to moving back to SXM, regularly playing in iconic clubs like Andalu, Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL), and Modern, as well as for the legendary Buzz parties at Nation.

Although he loves spinning at festivals, nightclubs, and beach clubs, his passion for music has naturally progressed beyond the spectrum of DJing. The last couple of years have seen Ajay in the studio as a producer (and musical promoter) for the Ministry of Sound, along with his producing partner, Jayson Miro. Together, they were nominated in 2017 for an Independent Music Award in the category of Dance/Electronic for their release of ‘So Deep in Love’ on indie record label SXM Records. This track saw radio airplay and online streaming in over 30 countries worldwide.

The future is looking stellar for DJ Ajay Raw, with new releases in the pipeline and a European tour in the works, as well as the strategically planned expansion of the ELEV8 brand of parties globally!

Whether you experience him live or through head(phones), Ajay Raw will always leave you aurally satisfied!

Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.

After studies in electroacoustics, Latin and classical percussion, Guillaume Coutu Dumont established himself as fixture of Montréal's leftfield microhouse and techno scene—with Artificiel’s Julien Roy as EGG and in Chic Miniature with Ernesto Ferreyra, in the early days. A move to Paris first then Berlin in 2007 hatched solo project Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts, a propulsive fusion of house, jazz, gospel, techno, and Afrobeat. 

More collaborations followed, such as ambient venture Museum and percussive five-piece Guillaume & The Side Effects. 

Back in Montréal a decade later, he formed Flabbergast with Vincent Lemieux and released an EP under the moniker Vieux Renard. He currently works on his latest project Auflassen, a trio of live drums, keyboards and electronics.
