Techno DJ from Berlin since 1988
-
If you want to trace the beginnings of DJ Pete's status in Techno culture, you have to go back a very long way. He emerged as a DJ in the pioneering days of the Berlin scene during the late 80s and joined Hard Wax in 1991.

As a producer he made his name with the first release on Chain Reaction in 1995, a sub-label of the Basic Channel imprint, together with René Löwe aka Vainqueur as Scion. Scion also released the first commercially available CD ever produced with the then newly developed software Ableton Live in 2002 and later continued their collaboration as Substance & Vainqueur on the label Scion Versions. Substance, the acclaimed alias DJ Pete uses for his own productions has a back catalogue of highly influential solo efforts and an impressive string of acclaimed remixes for pivotal Techno artists like Juan Atkins, Regis, Kessell, Orphx, Robert Hood, Rhythm & Sound, Monolake or Shed, among many others.

DJ Pete earned similar respect behind the decks, combining highly individual yet refined mixing skills with both his vast encyclopedic knowledge of Techno history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds that carry the potential to push all boundaries. Beyond that his energetic sets also incorporate elements of pure Techno, the Hard Wax tradition and powerful House tracks. His seemingly unlimited scope is informed by frequent Dynamic Tension nights at Tresor in the late 90s with Surgeon and his residency at Berghain since its opening, as well as countless successful gigs at the most crucial nights of the scene's international circuit. He is also known to merge Techno with Dubstep and selecting Reggae, particularly while working the mighty Killasan sound system as core DJ member of the seminal Wax Treatment events.

DJ Pete's lauded signature style also benefits from his numerous experiences as part of the cherished live acts TR-101 (an improvisational live act in collaboration with Sleeparchive), Scion (either with or without vocalist Paul St. Hilaire), and gigs with many other likeminded DJ innovators. A typical DJ Pete performance is always delivering an array of programming, sequencing, layering and live effects that goes well beyond a mere presentation of tracks. True to Techno's original claim, innovations in sound and technology are intuitively employed to achieve a floor sensation that manages to involve the crowd on as many levels as possible.

Palestinian Singer-songwriter and Multi-genre musician. Pioneer of the Free Arabic Rock genre  that was developed along the years with various musicians and bands, the latest being FISHSAMAK. Mostly known for sarcastic and political lyrics often considered provocative, yet he offers much more. Jowan started his career in the late '90s as LENSES releasing three low-fi singer-songwriter experimental albums between 2001-2007. In 2012, he broke through to the wider Arab world audience with the release of his album Namrud, breaking social taboos with songs like “Electricity”, and quirky parody “Poor Infidels” which rapidly became an anthem for fans across the Arab world, and subsequently led to his detention in Jordan for which Jowan was accused of blasphemy. Jowan was also investigated in Israel and accused of inciting violence and terrorism following his performance in a street festival, in which local media misquoted his lyrics, the file was closed for lack of guilt after 2 years of investigations.  
Jowan's lyrics can be controversial– subtly toned with his personal reflections on a wide range of issues related to politics, religion and philosophy, morality and sexuality. These fundamental components are what give his work a rare and revealing authenticity, making him one of the most influential contemporary artists in the Arabic scene. His 2015 controversial summer hit “To Be an Arab” reached to Israeli and International media, with a rock hard message to the racist Israeli society.
