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.

Not many artists are lucky enough to release a track that defies genre classification and reaches into mainstream culture, with people enthusiastically embracing its melody and adopting it as if it were a football anthem.
His track “Rave” has become an instant classic, a timeless piece of music gaining more than 100 million streams (becoming the most clicked Techno track ever).
Since 1996, a landmark year for him thanks to the worldwide success of his track “Zoe” produced as Paganini Traxx, Sam Paganini’s stylistic experimentations have gone from strength to strength, leading him to collaborate and release his music on several record labels like Plus8, Cocoon Recordings and Drumcode, reaching the highest spots on Beatport’s Techno Chart several times. His unique musical journey has achieved great success both on the underground circuit as well as on the mainstream channels.
In 2016 Sam founded his own record label JAM as a new platform to play out his vision of techno music. At first an outlet for his own productions releasing 3 albums and nowadays also a platform to discover new talented Artists.
Beside his studio work and production time, Sam’s DJ appearances are among the most requested by promoters worldwide: his sets are characterized by powerful grooves and have been described as “Sexy Groovy Dark Techno”, which speaks volumes, literally, on what to expect from his performances.
He has taken the stage at legendary clubs such as Berghain (Berlin), Output and Cielo (New York), Rex (Paris), Fabric (London), Crobar (Buenos Aires), Exchange (Los Angeles), Fuse (Bruxelles), Stereo (Montreal), Pacha (Barcelona), Fabrik (Madrid), Amnesia (Ibiza), Privilege (Ibiza) and Cocoricò (Riccione) just to name a few, and at Festivals like Awakenings (Netherlands), Nature One (Germany), Mayday (Germany), Tomorrowland (Belgium), Sziget (Hungary), Sonus (Pag Island), Time Warp (Germany), Ultra (USA).

De muzikale reis begon ooit met een diepe interesse voor muziek en het organiseren van evenementen in de periode 2005-2010 in de regio Weert (organisatie: HGD). Na deze leervolle ervaring heeft hij zijn eigen draaiskills ontdekt. Voorzien van een dj-booth in zijn huiskamer en in het bezit van enkel een laptop, mixtafel en een groep die-hard fans (vriendengroep), is de setting voor vele homeparties ontstaan. Snaar P was geboren.

Zijn draaikunsten bleven niet onopgemerkt bij de organisaties. Al snel stond hij zelf op een podium en wat voelt dat goed zeg! Steeds vaker word hij geboekt. Ook festivals zijn inmiddels aan het rijtje toegevoegd. Zijn grootste optreden tot nu toe was de afsluiting op het Paperclip Festival 2015. Ook bezoekt hij nog regelmatig festivals, maar steeds vaker nu ook als artiest. Daarnaast heeft hij de draad weer opgepakt en organiseert hij zelf technofeesten in Weert (organisatie: Ondergronds). Hiermee probeert hij lokale talenten een podium te bieden om zich te ontwikkelen als artiest in verschillende stijlen van techno.

De muziekstijl van Snaar P is te omschrijven als een mix van opzwepende geluiden, een veelzijdig repertoire en een groovy sound in de stijlen techno/techhouse met een funky tintje. Zijn grote voorbeelden hierin zijn o.a. Joris Voorn, Dubfire en Richie Hawtin. Zijn doel bij iedere gig is om iedereen aan het dansen te krijgen en vooral te genieten van wat muziek met mensen kan doen.
Het begon ooit met een diepe interesse voor muziek en het organiseren van evenementen (HoeGaarDan 2005 – 2010, regio Weert) en groeide uit tot het ontdekken van zijn eigen draai-skills. Voorzien van een dj-booth in zijn huiskamer en in het bezit van enkel een laptop, mixtafel en een groep die-hard fans (vriendengroep), is de setting voor vele thuisfeestjes ontstaan.

Hij draait al lang niet meer alleen in zijn eigen woonkamer. Steeds vaker wordt hij geboekt om de voetjes van de vloer te draaien. Festivals zijn inmiddels aan het rijtje toegevoegd. Nog regelmatig is hij de bezoeker, maar steeds vaker nu ook de artiest.
