Exploring cutting edge electronic music & art in obscure places.

MANAGEMENT / BOOKINGS / PRESS / RADIO: info@kazjames.com 

Kaz James is a world renowned DJ, producer, Label boss. Who is known for his own unique and distinct musical sound.

Hailing from the vibrant streets of Melbourne, he soaked up influences from his stepfather's eclectic vinyl collection. But Kaz didn't just listen; he mastered the art of the turntables, making his way through Australia's underground circuit. It wasn't long before his raw talent caught the
attention of the legendary Frankie Knuckles, who handpicked Kaz to open for his sets in Ibiza and across Europe.

Since then, his rise to international stardom has been exponential – From his time at the much-loved Sunday’s at Scorpios Mykonos to his now current “Wednesday” residency at the legendary Alemagou.

But Kaz's talents don't stop at the turntables. As a producer, he's crafted an impressive arsenal of hits, including chart-toppers like "Not In Love," "Stronger," "Paradise," and last year’s summer anthem, "Footprints." Which had continued international support from the likes of Black Coffee, Keinemusik and many more.

Now firmly established in the electronic music scene, Kaz has exciting plans for 2024,including new releases on labels like Rufus Du Sol's "Rose Avenue" and Germany's "Kompakt". Plus his very own recent label imprint, 'Krushes', in partnership with Warner Music Group, with upcoming releases and events featuring many amazing artists from around the
world.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!

Hot Stuff is an independent record label founded in 2013. It's home to established artists aswell as up and coming new talent. We release most genres; house, funky, disco, jackin, tech, deep & nu disco. 

Our featured artists: DJ Dan, DJ PP, Jay Vegas, Angelo Ferreri, Mattei & Omich, J Paul Getto, Rescue, City Soul Project, Block & Crown, Tommy Vercetti, DJ James Ingram, Redsoul and more.

Born in Brooklyn, Tony Humphries first fueled the world of house music with his epic stint on KISS FM, as one of its greatest Mastermixers; paired with his residency at the legendary club Zanzibar.
Tony & Zanzibar were synonymous with a new soulful electronic sound.  His signature eclectic mixing talent led to Tony’s own production of what became known as The Zanzibar Sound or the Jersey Sound, with his hands on nearly 500 productions, including several gold hit remixes for the likes of Indeep & Janet Jackson.  

Tony's musical talents are rooted in a creatively diverse and musically driven performing family; including his father, a Colombian émigré Rene ‘El Grandé Combo’ Humphries, a prominent bandleader in New York, who worked alongside peers like Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri.  This creative diversity inspired his lifelong passion and direction. 

In 1998, Tony founded his own imprint Yellorange Records, a subsidiary label of Strictly Rhythm. Yellorange releases were renowned for fusing soulful vocals, Afro-Cuban flavors & Italo-grooves.  After Strictly Rhythm's closure, he launched, Tony Records showcasing younger artists and producers of soulful music with a modern form.  

After a sabbatical from Tony's own production, Frankie Knuckles enticed Tony back into the studio, where he has been going strong, with releases on Nocturnal Groove, Moulton, and his own label, with a two part EP HouseWork, blending blues, gospel and  worksongs into a brilliantly contemporary setting.

Over the years, Tony has stretched his mixing arm across the globe, playing in countless clubs and festivals, with residencies and guest spots throughout the years in the likes of Ministry of Sound, Pacha in Ibiza, Echos in Rimini, Fabric, SmartBar and his Le Bain in NYC. 

Tony Humphries has remained timeless with his signature lure of the dance floor, blending the new house sound into his gospel, deep, tribal sound.

It was in 2011 that Dutch pair Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets quickly broke through in the electronic music scene. Since then they have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, as well as in their studio. House might be the root of the Dam Swindle sound, but it takes nourishment from a much wider world of music. 

Still now, their breakthrough tunes such as ‘The Wrap Around’ and ‘The Break Up’ receive countless plays on dancefloors all over the world and the duo has made timeless music such as their 2023 disco-house bomb ‘ That’s right’ and 90’s throwback banger ‘Allright – just a tribute’ that became one of the hits of the 2024 festival summer. Dam Swindle has built a trademark sound, while still evolving and maturing their craft in various musical niches. Their landmark 2018 album High Life shows a broad musicality from the duo and this is even more so on their highly anticipated 2025 long player ‘Open’.  ‘Open’ features countless collaborations with high-profile artists such as Dutch pianist Joep Beving and New York-based Ethiopian vocalist Haile Supreme, and sees the duo flex their sound from ambient electronica to synthwave, hiphouse and more. 

Since 2013, the pair has also established their record label Heist Recordings as one of the key independent labels for underground dance music, while also releasing music on other underground mainstays such as Aus Music and Classic Music Company. Heist is more than just a label, though - it is a breeding ground for talents old and new; somewhere talent is nurtured and allowed to develop. Label showcases and special projects such as the yearly Roundup EP; where all artists from the past 12 months remix each other after a random selection process, furthers the family vibe and helps Heist stand out from crowd. Artists such as Cinthie, DJ Sneak, Crackazat, Tesfa Williams, Makèz, Pépé Bradock, Matthew Herbert, Ge-Ology, Byron the Aquarius and many more have all contributed, proving that it is a place for unrestrained creatives to be free with their own sonic visions. The label looks as good as it sounds, too, thanks to visual artist Bas Koopmans's standout artwork designs. 
 
Proof of Dam Swindle's widescreen approach to production is their long and talented list of collaborators, which includes the likes of acclaimed musician Tom Misch, US talent Seven Davis Jr., instrumental collective Jungle by Night, plus Marc de Clive-Lowe, Jitwam and Lorenz Rhode. Next to their own originals, a broad spectrum of artists have asked Dam Swindle for some of their special remix magic: on labels like Strut and Soundway they have reworked the legendary Pat Thomas, aka the ‘Golden voice of Africa,' and gave his single ‘Yamona’ a contemporary electronic edge, as well as The Mauskovic Dance Band’s track ‘Space Drum Machine’ and plenty more artists like Kerri Chandler, Mayer Hawthorne and Tom Misch. As their talent for bridging genres from all over the world continues to attract global attention, high-profile projects keep rolling in from all points on the musical globe. 

Dam Swindle are famously avid collectors of both old and new records, and it shows in their DJ sets, which keep you on your toes as they move freely through the broad world of house music with skillfully blended moods of soulful techno, acid, breaks, disco and more, all to create those special moments that crowds never forget. It is for that reason that their name has become a real stamp of authority and invention in the dance music world. Whatever they do, then, this pair do with irresistible charm.
