Clubbing was in its infancy when Berlin-born Monika Kruse began her first residency at the Babalu bar in Munich, where she grew up. Classically trained in piano from the age of four, Monika has always had a love of music and her early sets spanned hip hop, funk, soul and early deep and vocal house. This new breed of electronic music seized Monika’s soul and imagination. Dance music was in its infancy and since there were few clubs where you could play techno she threw her own parties in illegal venues ranging from World War II bunkers to trams to empty houses. Fortunately the police were a little behind the musical curve… “I had some funny experiences,” she recalls, “But nice ones! They stopped us once in a tram because they thought the smoke machine was a fire!” On another occasion, they came and asked her to turn down the bass so the house they were playing in wouldn’t crumble. “Luckily, they didn’t have a clue about techno!” 
	
Monika Kruse's star is shining brighter than ever with a global fan-base hungry for her irresistible beats. In 2014 her club appearances included Space Ibiza with Carl Cox, Amnesia Ibiza with Marco Carola, We Love... at Space Ibiza, Sankeys Ibiza, Egg London and regular sets for her residency at Berghain Berlin.

She dazzled the festivals, too, playing events such as Time Warp, Melt Festival, 18 Hour Festival, Eastern Electrics UK, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and South America, Sonus Croatia, Awakenings ADE, and SEMF Stuttgart. She also hosted a stage at Amsterdam's Edit Festival, showcasing some of her favourite artists such as Pig & Dan, Nick Curly and Miss Kittin.
Classically trained in piano, Monika's love of music is broad and deep. She grew up buying records, accumulating a music collection that grew to span funk, soul, hip hop, and house music. When the revolutionary rhythms coming out of Chicago and Detroit captured her imagination it led her to throw parties in illegal venues including World War II bunkers, trams and empty houses.

Electronic music culture has evolved rapidly since those early days but Monika's talent and passion is constant. “My ethos is ‘sweat with a smile,’” she says. “I give love to my audience and they give it back. LOVE – it’s the best thing in the world. My aim is to help people forget whatever is going on in their life and have a little holiday – just get lost in my music.”
Monika is also an active producer. Her Terminal M label celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2015 and she chalked up hits this year with Pig & Dan collaboration 'Soulstice', a Beatport Top 10 techno anthem. The fantastic remix package of 'Summer Drops' was also a Beatport chart favourite, featuring Monika's track reworked by Nicole Moudaber, Uner, and Mendo. With just two releases Monika was one of Beatport's Top 100 techno artists for 2014. Look out for the special re-release of the album Monika Kruse @ Voodooamt 'Passengers' in celebration of Terminal M's 15th birthday.

Monika’s passion for spreading the love extends beyond the dancefloor, too. In 2000 she founded a charity called No Historical Backspin to fight racism and homophobia. “It’s sad and ridiculous that people still get beat up, or in some countries even killed, for being gay. Or get treated badly because of their skin colour, or gender, or because they’re a refugee” she says. “But it happens. Sharing and caring is the only way to make the world a safe place for everyone. It is important for DJs to show they respect everyone.” She is currently organising a No Historical Backspin party at Berghain. Funds raised will go to Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, which supports victims of hate-crimes and campaigns against right-wing extremism.
Her charity work, like her DJing and production, is an expression of Monika’s faith in the transforming power of music. “It was my first love,” she says. “Music was my best friend. It never let me down. In good times music was there and in bad times music was there.”

Be Water My Friend...
music producer & DJ based in Berlin! 

Es war einmal… In einer grossen Stadt weit, weit weg. Da sah man es sehr selten, dass die Leute lachten und glücklich waren. Doch an diesem einen Tag sollte alles anders kommen. Seit den ersten Minuten dieses Tages schien die Sonne, der Himmel blau gefärbt… die Menschen auf den Strassen jubelten und trugen allesamt ein lächeln im Gesicht. Ein kleiner Junge stand da, mitten in dieser Menge und verstand die Welt nicht mehr. Er zupfte einer Dame an der Jacke und fragte sie was denn los sei, die Dame antwortete ihm, Kleiner es ist FREITAG! – In diesem Moment stürmte eine kleine tapfere Ente auf die Bühne, zog die Pegel nach oben und brachte das Volk zum kochen.

With twelve years of production and fifteen years of DJ experience, DAN CASTER is a fountain of musical knowledge, confident enough to let his work as an artist speak for itself. While many are aware of his own releases on Supdub (‘Wunderbar’ and ‘Musica’) and, most recently, Stil vor Talent (‘Bleeding’), his output as a behind-the-scenes producer for Niconé, Sascha Braemer or Rene Bourgeois may come as a pleasant surprise. He contributed to Niconé & Sascha Braemer’s hugely successful ‘Romantic Thrills’ album (2011), for example, while his own remix of ‘Runaway’ feat. Jan Blomqvist’, one of the LP’s highlights, ended up taking the Beatport Deep House charts
by storm. His smash-hit ‘Mama Say’ for Light my Fire then climbed to the top 2 Beatport Nu Disco charts, and remixes for the likes of M.in or Oliver Schories cemented his position in the scene.
After releases on Stil vor Talent and Der Turnbeutel, in 2014 we can look forward to an EP on the Katerholzig Label Katermukke. Just as refined and varied as his production style, Dan’s skills as a DJ are best described as eclectic yet wonderfully coherent and extremely tight. He is a schooled
reader of crowds and thus adepts perfectly to different club scenarios and energy levels, shifting seamlessly from deeper styles of house to techier material – something he proved on his recent podcasts and that is reflected in his impressive booking schedule, which will take Dan to hotspot destinations such as Copenhagen, Kiev, Paris, Zurich or Munich, to name a few.
