Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

Born near Paris, France, Zba moved to the caribbean island of Guadeloupe (French West ‌Indies) in the nineties. He's been living there since then.

Began deejaying in 1993 under the name of "Dj Zbeu", playing underground rave music and psytrance ( back in the days when it was still called "Goa Trance"). He got the opportunity to play on beach parties with the greatest artists of the time. A few years later he evolved towards several other genres including minimal techno, tech-house, dub...

Producer and live performer since the 2020 lockdown. His musical tastes were crafted by all the music he loved mixing for almost 30 years and all the great moments spent in outdoor & beach parties. 

His partner in life is a deejay too and a great source of inspiration !

Robert Babicz has been redefining the boundaries of electronic music since the early 1990s. His unique artistry encompasses sound, vision, emotion and spirituality. From releasing and performing acid techno as Rob Acid, to his role as a highly-sought after producer and studio wizard infusing technical perfection with deep emotion, to his striking photos, everything Robert does expresses his desire to celebrate beauty and humanity, and to live each moment with utmost consciousness. Robert's art and philosophy are so distinctive there's a word for it: Babiczstyle.

It’s no secret that the work of Toronto-based Sean Collier is making a dent on the international music scene. His journey in music began in 2004 when he had the opportunity to DJ at what was Toronto’s haven for dance music lovers – The Guvernment Nightclub. After experiencing the wonder of moving a dance floor, Sean became intrigued by the intricacies and dynamics of high quality techno music, and spent the next few years mastering the art of music production. His first big EP titled Gray Matter was released on Intacto and sent waves through the technosphere catching the attention of heavy hitters Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn, Monika Kruse, Kaiserdisco and more.
Sean has since released chart-topping tracks on international music labels like 100% Pure, Tronic,  Bitten, Transmit Recordings, and more. There’s no question that the output of Sean Collier’s work is a reflection of his vast technical knowledge, his laser focus on producing high quality music, and his self-admitted tendency toward perfectionism. 
Upon listening to his recent releases like Red Mosquito, which charted #14 in the Techno Top 100, or Bar None which came in at #18 and you’ll get a sense of Sean’s signature sound: dark with monstrous grooves, explosive percussion and deep, driving basslines. Sean’s music is regularly supported by international artists like Paco Osuna, Adam Beyer, Carlo Lio, DJ Boris, Kaiserdisco, 2000 And One, and Sam Paganini, just to name a few. His music makes regular appearances in DJ sets and radio shows, including Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. As 2016 progresses, Sean’s focus is on one thing - produce fine-tuned, intelligent dance music that moves the world.

Philadelphia born and based Josh Wink is one of the true pioneers of techno, house and allied styles - blurring the definitions.

Taking trends, making trends and breaking trends, Josh Wink’s music has always experimented and influenced. The sound of Josh Wink today remains one of a man unafraid to walk the border between stylistic boundaries.
