“A Quest For Sonic Truth”

Drawing inspiration from the complexities of classical symphonies right through to the raw industrial essence of electronic music, Ivan Turanjanin continues to seek out sounds and compositions that realign spaces and audiences with an eye toward the future. 

Having spent many years crafting his ability to play music, he brings the same obsessive dedication to finding new ways to present it across a wide variety of arenas. 

From curating small clubs to running large scale festivals, Ivan seeks to re-inforce the rich traditions of electronic music history whilst lending the same passion to the advancement of underground music culture in South Africa and beyond

Pete's passion for music began at an early age, after being expelled from school as a teen, he started a band with 2 close friends, taught himself to play guitar and drums and they hit the road. After a road trip to Ibiza in 87, and the first whisperings of ecstasy and acid house, he decided that electronic music was the future, and traded his drum kit for a pair of Technics turntables. After playing numerous illegal parties around the South East of England he gained his first residency in 1990 at the Hand & Spear in Surrey, and soon turned it into one of the biggest nights in the whole of the UK. Pete's DJ career took off quickly and it wasn't long before he was guesting all over Europe. In '92 he launched Ugly Bug records. It was an instant hit, especially with big hitting radio djs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. Pete became a resident guest on Kiss 100fm, and his first release as his main recording alias, The Shaker, ',Just Lick It', became the club hit of the year, and was signed to over 30 compilation albums. The remix work came flooding in, from labels such as London, FFRR, Hooj, Ore, Fade, and Perfecto. His remix of Zee's Dreamtime was essential new tune on Pete Tong's BBC Radio1 show, and finally in 96 Pete signed to XL recordings, after a 3 way struggle between A&M, XL, and Maifesto to secure his signature. He went on to release 3 more singles under the Shaker guise˜Mooncat', 'Strong to Survive' and 'Star' which were all massive club anthems around the world. His djing skills started to attract the talents of promoters as far afield as Russia, S.Africa, as well as New York, L.A. and Denver in the USA. Pete was a regular guest at Amnesia and Bora Bora in Ibiza, as well as an international resident at Firestone, Buzz, and Simons in the US. For most, this would have been the peak of an outstanding career, but Pete was after something a bit more substantial. Despite the massive chart success, Pete reinvented his sound and launched a new label: Red Ant Records. Over 100 releases later, Red Ant is going from strength to strength. Cutting edge underground dance music. Pete Bones may not take himself too seriously, his music however, is another story. The label has artists such as Alex Costa, The Shaker, Zero the Hero, Justin Drake, Hair Band Drop Out, The Presslaboys and the Sleepfreaks, always careful to avoid the restrictions born of the obsession with pigeon-holing dance music. More recently Pete has toured with American industrial legends the Thrill Kill Kult, and played alongside Nick Warren, Sasha, Carl Cox, Tommie Sunshine and Mr C. As an artist Pete has signed to the highly rated CitySeven records out of London, and Pangea Records from Los Angeles.

Akin to the mysterious sea anemone, Daniel Allen's sensibilities extend from deep underground straight up to the glimmering surface. Since his start in '89, he's had his tentacles in everything — 80s, drum & bass, house, techno, and all fusions thereof — giving his DJ sets a riveting, tactile quality. On the creative side, Daniel currently has over 50 releases distributed on labels such as Viva Recordings, Priroslin, Colour and Pitch, and many more. Between steering the helm of misfit record label Denied Music and studio work, he can be found at his residencies at The Oven in Austin, Techno Club in New Orleans, and The Dive in Houston.
