Liquid Core are a Swedish electronic music duo formed in Växjö, 2005. The band consists of Kristofer Hammarsten, who writes the music and the majority of the lyrics, and David Öster on vocals.

David and Kristofer are from the same village and have known each other since childhood. But it was not until several years later they started talking about making music together after Kristofer had heard David sing at a party. A few weeks later, they began to record and they quickly realized they had something special going on. Four songs were recorded in a four-month period, and everything just flowed. Unfortunately, the band now had to take a one year break while David studied at a design school in Singapore. This turned out to be a good thing in the end because it meant that Kristofer had plenty of time to write new material for the upcoming album. As soon as David came back home, they started recording the new songs and their first album "Marching To Our Own Drummer" was released on October 20, 2008.

They both share the love for electronic and alternative music. Both rock/pop bands like Depeche Mode, Placebo and the Swedish heroes of Kent as well as more dance orientated artists like The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy and Daft Punk. This is reflected in their music which is a great mixture of rock/pop and dance music, mainly with a modern sound but with obvious influences from the 80's!

Mentioning releases, remixes, or labels on which Steve Rachmad has shown his craftsmanship is pointless and time-consuming. So is boasting about the clubs and festivals on which he has left his mark. It would just make for another list of names, places, and brands…. Let’s not do that. Feel free to visit the usual channels (Discogs, Soundcloud, Beatport) and take your pick from numerous productions and DJ sets. They all come from three decades of dedication, sweat, and polishing a one of a kind talent.

Because as Miles had his horn and Pablo took to canvas, Steve has an unequalled gift for (almost physically) connecting with every thinkable drum machine and synthesizer out there. If the man had kids, boys would listen to Roland or Robert (Moog), and a girl would surely be named Linn, after the machine made famous by Prince and others in the 80’s. Some claim it’s analogue machine telepathy, others say he was born with all the right connectors and inputs hidden somewhere underneath his trademark curly hairdo.

This ability has established Steve as one of those artists that simply last because of quality. New generations of artists from different genres recognizes his signature and therefore play his work.

As a DJ he is constantly reinventing himself. Set firmly in the best that techno and house have to offer at the moment, Rachmad draws inspiration from his love for high quality disco and electro from the past. As words can never truly describe music, we’ll end with advising you to go check him out and hear for yourself what Steve is all about.

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.

Liquid Kings is a rock and roll band that “can be described with the single word ‘rock’. The Portland-based band eschews punk's savage efficiency, saving space for sprawling solos, and it replaces metal's growling menace with vocal vulnerability.” - The Portland Mercury. 

Liquid Kings is the brainchild of Tye Lewman who serves as the main writer, composer and instrumentalist for the band. Along the way he’s had help from Adam Byrne (drums), Jake Hamilton (drums), Teo Andrigo (drums), Skyylar Pelous (backing vocals), Jimi Gutino (backing vocals), Chris McDonnell (bass) and Dave Michael (bass) and is looking forward to collaborating with more musicians in the future. 

Liquid Kings long-awaited LP ‘Apparition’ released in July 2022 and is a culmination of years of song writing and highlights their growth through the years.  The band’s music recorded in their personal studio, Leviathan Studios; has been described as “Rock and Roll with bite, energy and searing guitar solos…high energy music with phenomenal vocals…metaphorical pyromania”.  Lewman says that “the goal of Liquid Kings is to break free of the repetitive and watered-down sound of the radio.  Our mission is to steer the focus back on to the music and to resuscitate the rock scene through live performances and local awareness.” 

Liquid Kings’ music has reached the Oregon Top 10 list on the website www.broadjam.com two separate times (‘Silent Hole’ and ‘Loaded Gun’).  The band has been featured on 3 independent short films (Déjà Vu, One and a Quarter, and Artificial Echoes) and has earned numerous awards through garageband.com, including winners of Track of the Day and Best Guitars for the song ‘Shadow Mind’. In the past, Liquid Kings was proud to headline the Movies in the Parks shows put on by Portland Parks & Recreations and has played the Portland Rose Festival twice.  The band received great exposure to a wide range of audiences while simultaneously giving back to the community. 

According to Crave Magazine, Liquid Kings is “a fantastic representation of what NW rock is doing” and LSF Presents adds “they're from Portland and they're headed for bigger places.” 

Liquid Kings continues to play “lumberjack rock and roll” throughout the Northwest and looks forward to experiencing new venues; bringing forth “attention demanding” rock music that can be enjoyed by a diverse range of individuals. 

Keep rock alive!

Electronic music lovers know Dimitri and Mike Thivaios as the monolithic brotherly duo "Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike". The brothers are superstars in the electronic music scene that earned the adoration of crowds around the globe. From becoming the first-ever duo to win the World #1 DJ's crown at the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll in 2015 and 2019, the twosome has continued to stand firm and stay in the top 5 positions in the Poll since 2014.

Collecting more Gold and Platinum records than they can count, Dimitri and Mike have won the hearts of icons across genres collaborating with heavyweight hitters like David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Natti Natasha, Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Ne-Yo, Wiz Khalifa and many more. An invite from Disney Records led the brothers to work with Hans Zimmer on a big room flavour of the film's lead score 'He's a Pirate' for the fifth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise Dead Men Tell No Tales. They also created the theme for Mortal Kombat 11, the latest instalment of the iconic video game series.

After a stellar rise in the scene for many years, their monumental single 'The Hum' starring Jean Claude Van Damme and Charlie Sheen in the music video scaled new heights. Netting the #1 spot in their native Belgium, the single went platinum, with the music video receiving over 200 million views online. The brothers repeated their magic touch on the Ne-Yo collaboration 'Higher Place', which spent ten weeks atop the Belgian singles chart and secured the #1 Billboard Dance Chart spot. They claimed the #1 spot again with the release of their Diplo collaboration 'Hey Baby' and then again when 'Selfish' featuring Era Istrefi secured the #1 position on the Billboard Dance Chart. Their summer 2017 single 'Complicated', with David Guetta and Kiiara, became one of the year's biggest hits with over 165 million streams on Spotify and 88 million YouTube views. The duo joined forces with W&W on 'Crowd Control', the sonic representation of their iconic dance move. Their involvement on the All-Star collaboration 'Instagram', which included David Guetta, Afro Bros, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha, gifted the scene with one of the biggest songs of the summer in 2019 and which currently sits at more than 280 million streams on Spotify. In 2020 they released this monster hit Do It! together with Kimberly Loaiza and Azteck. The single has received more than 235 million TikTok views and over 80 million total streams.

The launch of their yearly homecoming arena concert in 2013 was another example of their enduring appeal. Nearly a decade later and after 25 sold-out concerts, welcoming more than 500,000 fans, Dimitri and Mike had firmly brought the madness of the biggest annual arena show to Antwerp's Sportpaleis. However, it's their position as the ambassadors of the worldwide phenomenon Tomorrowland which has seen them grow to an unprecedented level of stature, playing their part in the incredible rise of the world-famous Belgian festival.

Dimitri and Mike are locking up more than 30 million fans on social media, combined with billions of music streams and video views. In the meantime, they tour the world, selling out stadiums and arenas with immersive live performances. From iconic clubs like Amnesia, Green Valley, Ministry of Sound and Ushuaïa Ibiza, where the duo holds a summer residency in partnership with Tomorrowland, to festival mainstages such as Airbeat One, Balaton Sound, Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Parookaville, Soundstorm, World Club Dome, Tomorrowland, Untold and many more.

With a globe-trotting tour schedule while running one of the most iconic record labels in the scene and producing some of the biggest electronic records of the past decade, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have proved that together, they have what it takes to dominate the scene as they persistently strive to give their global fan base the best experience and memories feasible.
