AKASE is the natural coming together of two inquisitive musical minds. One of them, Harry Agius, comes from an accomplished electronic background, and the other, Robbie Redway, has grown up playing in numerous bands. Having been friends for years, both were keen to expand their sonic horizons and so began working together in 2012. 

Inspiring and influencing each other with their own different perspectives and starting points, the ensuing years have seen the pair get together on a number of occasions for sporadic recording sessions. The unforced, non pressured nature of their collaboration has a been a good thing, though, as it lends AKASE’s music a liveliness and realness that cannot be taught. 

Given Agius’ knack for writing compelling electronics as Midland, and Redway’s penchant for writing proper hooks and moving lyrics, their sound is a perfect coming together of dance and indie. Like a select number of live electronic acts before them, AKASE marry melancholy with romance, synth hooks with stirring vocals. They aren’t driven by dance floor functionality, but instead by composition and compelling musical stories. Summer 2015 will see the project coalesce proper, with a debut album, Graspers, having been signed by influential label !K7 and live shows to follow. As such, get ready for a refreshing new addition to the thriving little niche where dance, sombre avant pop and indie all collide.

Deep, basement-shaking music to escape in and get down to.

I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

André Galluzzi has been a vinyl DJ for over 25 years. During that time he has enjoyed residencies at some of the world's best known clubs, including Ostgut, Berghain and Tresor. An equally prolific producer, the past two decades have seen him release on labels such as Cocoon, Ostgut Ton, Cadenza, Ongaku Musik, Force Inc. Music, Plus 8 and Music Man. The co-founder of Taksi Records, Galluzzi's latest endeavour is Aras, an outlet for his own unique take on house and techno,
Born in 1973 in Frankfurt, Germany, André became dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm very early on. When working as a bartender in a club, he got the chance to fill in for the DJ at merely 14-years-old; an experience that would greatly change the course of his life
Excelling behind the decks, he became a regular in a handful of clubs in the early 90’s. In 1994 he started working at the renowned record distributor Neuton, where he met Paul Brtschitsch, with whom he established the much-renowned Taksi Records label in 1995. One year on he joined Tresor as resident with the club at the peak of its global popularity. Following a move to Berlin, he then became the first resident at Ostgut, the parent club of the world-renowned Berghain.
Following Ostgut's closing in 2001, André released the legendary mix compilation, André Galluzzi: Im Garten and created a highly- influential event series, Submerge, which lasted for two years. Famed for his intoxicating 10-hour sets, Galluzzi became a regular Berghain and at Amnesia in Ibiza for Sven Vath's Cocoon party around this time also.
In 2005 he started a studio cooperation with Guido Schneider, which resulted in various releases on Cadenza, Cocoon and Highgrade, including their track Albertino, released in 2007.
Looking for a new playground, André established Aras in 2011, a platform for both his own music and up-and-coming talents. Known for its innovative and unconventional approach to electronic music, the label continues to be supported by some of the scene's foremost players. A true musical obsessive and a much-respected DJ and producer, André's passion for sound continues to inspire a whole new generation of dancefloor dwellers.

mobilee records launched in 2005 and quickly established itself as one of the brightest new stars within Berlin’s glittering galaxy of electronic music labels, producers and DJs. Founded and owned by Anja Schneider and Ralf Kollmann, the label boasts a sound that is simultaneously familiar and innovative. Rooted in the classic structures of house and techno, mobilee has harnessed the triple threat approach: its records reference vintage dancefloor minimalism, engage with like-minded contemporaries, and suggest surprising new directions for familiar forms. 

mobilee celebrated its tenth year in 2015. The anniversary not only highlighted ten successful years of the label, but served as a testament to the vision, passion, and love of music that continues to drive the extended mobilee team in all that they do, and all that will come. 

With a focus on label showcases, such as the annual drawcard event at Barcelona’s Hotel Silken Diagonal during Sonar, mobilee is committed to developing its roster—the core of whom are booked and managed by the label itself. The famed Sonar rooftop parties that have featured all-star casts of mobilee artists and friends are just one example of the unique, forward-thinking philosophy of mobilee, and its attendant expansion as a music and entertainment enterprise.
