A legendary DJ with his fingers firmly on the pulse since the 1980s, Fabio, along with DJ partner Grooverider, has been at the forefront of dance music since the emergence of acid house and an essential force in the transition from rave music into hardcore and eventually drum & bass.

 

From the infamous Rage parties to the Speed era, the Swerve nights at The End, Fabio deserves his title as drum & bass' godfather, already considered an essential tastemaker by the 90s, before going on to pioneer the 'liquid funk' sound. His label Creative Source released over 50 12” singles and 4 albums, and was the label that introduced Calibre among many other now seminal artists to our scene.

 

An ambassador for the genre since the start which included his 14 year show on BBC Radio 1 alongside Grooverider. Fabio remains an important figurehead and a festival regular, with highly revered DJ sets across genres, playing just as comfortably alongside Gilles Peterson & Artwork as he does with Goldie & LTJ Bukem.

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). KAPPA Future Festival (Italy), Dour Festival (Belgium) and Monegros (Spain).

Fritz Kalkbrenner grew up in Berlin, shaped by the city's transformation after the fall of the Wall. Immersed in the electronic scene through his brother Paul, he found his voice in 2003 on Sascha Funke’s Forms & Shapes before making history with Sky & Sand—the iconic track from Berlin Calling that became a generational anthem.

His solo career took off with Here Today Gone Tomorrow (2010), blending deep house beats with his soulful, melancholic vocals. Chart-topping albums like Sick Travellin’, Ways Over Water, and True Colours solidified his status as a global electronic act, with hits like Back Home and Kings & Queens dominating airwaves.

Always evolving, Fritz explored instrumental sounds on Drown (2018) and launched his label Nasua Music. His recent releases, Moments Gone and Waiting for the Sun, further showcase his ability to merge deep house grooves with pop sensibility. In 2024, he joins Virgin Records / Universal Music to release his latest album, Third Place, marking another milestone in his ever-expanding legacy.
