With his experimental combination of Synths, Didjeridoo, Percussion, Beatboxing and a loop station, Riccardo Moretti's solo project 'TribalNeed' is at the forefront of progressive musicianship. Sharp melodies, melancholic sounds and ancient rhythms tell the story of the 'Electro Nomad' and his journey between the European Electro scene and Afro-Australian tribal grooves. This mix of organic instruments and circuit bent toys manifests an original approach to electronic music.

Combinando Sintetizzatore, Didjeridoo, Percussioni, BeatBox e giocattoli modificati ad un Looper elettronico, il progetto solista "TribalNeed" di Riccardo Moretti è all'avanguardia delle tendenze musicali contemporanee. Melodie taglienti e suoni melancolici eseguiti su ritmi tribali raccontano la storia di questo "ElettroNomade" e del suo peregrinare tra la scena Elettronica Europea e le atmosfere Afro/Australiane. Questa coinvolgente sperimentazione artistica manifesta un approccio originale alla composizione sonora. sfondi per myspace 

Composed and mastered in the Durban’s underground house music
scene and recognized as the country’s most underrated house producer
and DJ, Argento Dust has been gradually on the rise and has materialized
his ambition to become one of Africa’s greatest. His work, which is of
high-esteemed stature has resulted in him being featured by artists such
as Black Coffee.

Having played and performed alongside many prestigious artists and at
various platforms, this pioneer that has been chosen to be amongst the
Super Africans collective appears to be certain, and has no intentions of
deviating from his momentum of being Africa’s next big artists
Argento Dusts’ love to make and play music was provoked back in 2010
when he was part of a music collective known as The House Junkies. In
2018, Argento Dust collaborated with Shimza on a track titled All Alone
which released in Shimza’s Ep titled ‘All lone’. It was
this track that brought upon international eyes on the Argento Dust
brand.

ME & her (Techno Alias: YENI) is a hugely driven person. Once she fell in love with music she decided she wanted to make her own, so she spent time back then in Techno clubs watching and learning from the DJs. Even though she was only 15 years old, she learnt how to get sounds of analog synths and Fruity Loops, took what she made and handed it out on CDs to people who went to Leipzig’s 10/40 techno club. She started to build a profile and now, years later, the East Germany born artist is a regular on the global circuit who has played across Europe, South Africa, India and the United States under her alter ego "ME & her".  

After years as ME & her, which took her to key parties round the world, she has focussed also on releasing Techno under her alias YENI. She is a strong willed character who does things her own way. Music brings out visceral reactions in her, and she always tries to convey the same strong feelings with her productions and DJ sets.  

“I am not the kind of fish that swims with the shoal,” she states. “I am the one who tries out exactly the opposite; the things that are not currently hyped.” As such, this classically trained pianist, vocalist and former soprano choir singer has a sophisticated sound that is keen to experiment and head in unknown new directions. It has lead to releases on well regarded labels like Suara, Armada Music, Hottrax, Toolrum, Redrum, Get Physical, Defected, Stil vor Talent and has found its way into the bags of tastemakers like Adam Beyer, Agoria and Charlotte De Witte. She is also an in demand vocalist who worked with other producers such as Drumcomplex or Kaiser Souzai.

Also with her own label "Cybors In Love" she has made it happen to have great artists releasing with her such as Wigbert, Rob Hes, Andres Campo from Elrow or Roland M. Dill from Cocoon.
