ANA, born in Munich, discovered her passion for music at an early age. After having passed quite a few different styles, she is influenced by many distinctive sounds.
Fascinated from the world of electronic music, her dedication to music brought her to buying records and found herself more and more behind the decks. She co-founded eZOO, an internetbased radioshow and popular club night in Munich and organised her own underground parties which made her an indispensable part of munich`s electronic scene.

ANA`s style has been described as an inspiring blend of rare old and modern tracks, which varies between house and techno. She merges that to her own unique style with her specific sound color.

It didn`t take long for her talent to be discovered. So it was no surprise that she found her way to be booked for national and international gigs, as much as her residency since 2006 in Harry Klein Club. The club became her creative playground and a place to experiment with sounds and finding her very own groove. 

After some time, this wasn' t enough anymore, and it was time to move forward for something new. 2012 she started together with Julietta her very own night 'Slave to the Rhythm' where the girls could gather with friends and artists they really love.
After spending a while in the studio, she released her first EP on japanese underground label fasten musique. Her first remix was released in february 2015 on underground label mode of expression. 


You could listen to her sets in clubs such as Panorama Bar (Berlin), Robert Johnson (Frankfurt), Eleven (Tokio), Weekend (Berlin), Club der Visionäre (Berlin), Privilege (Ibiza), Distillery (Leipzig), Kassablanca (Jena), Lo*kee (London), Bed Supper Club (Bangkok), Rex (Paris) or events like Boiler room radio (UK), Sonne, Mond & Sterne (Germany), Zoo Project (Ibiza), Partysan Yachting (Turkey), Rave on Snow (Austrian Alps) or Love Parade (Berlin).

Having started in the NY club scene before they were old enough to drive, DJ M2 got an early go at music. Their passion began with making people move on dance floors across New York. As time went by, they became known for their eclectic and wide-ranging music taste, playing everything from Dance and Hip-Hop, to world music and everything in between. DJ sets alongside Fabulous, Mel DeBarge, Knife Party, and many more in New York City, Washington D.C., Miami, Boston, Israel, and other major cities around the world helped solidify the duo as a major NY-based music force. Eventually, Mateen and Matt branched into music production, both having taken on multiple music projects of their own.

'This Is How You Do It' album out now on 2LP / CD / DIG


Bandleader Lance Ferguson and his nine piece Melbourne outfit The Bamboos have come a long way since forming in 2001. Initially inspired by the instrumental raw funk of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, they made waves internationally and were quickly labelled as one of the greatest funk and soul bands of our time. But while many would be happy to simply soak up the praise and keep on keeping on, The Bamboos have proven that they are more than meets the eye; over five acclaimed albums, their evolution in sound and style has consistently confounded and exceeded expectations, pulling the rug from under the feet of those who like to pigeonhole. 

The band signed to respected Brighton (UK) indie label Tru Thoughts in 2005, where they remain a cornerstone of the roster. Across their five studio albums to date - ‘Step It Up’ (2006), ‘Rawville’ (2007), ‘Side-Stepper’ (2008), ‘4’ (2010) and 'Medicine Man' (2012) – the metamorphosis of The Bamboos has been full of twists and turns, and it continues apace. A seasoned DJ, solo producer (aka Lanu) and all-round insatiable music obsessive, Ferguson's myriad influences and passion for pushing things forward ensure that each new release is a discovery for devout fans and newcomers alike.

Their fifth long-player ‘Medicine Man’, released in June 2012 was a watershed - a forward-looking record brimming with fresh ideas, stellar turns, classic songwriting and a brand of multi–layered pop they can truly call their own. Guest vocalists Aloe Blacc, Tim Rogers (You Am I), Megan Washington, Daniel Merriweather, Bobby Flynn, alongside resident singers Kylie Auldist and then newcomer Ella Thompson helped make the album their biggest at home to date. Lead single "I Got Burned" feat. Rogers was a sizeable radio hit, made it to #54 on radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 listeners poll (the biggest publicly voted song poll in the world) of the top songs of that year.

Like its predecessor, the band's sixth album 'Fever In The Road' was co-produced by ARIA- nominated, multi-instrumentalist studio wizard John Castle – whose work with the likes of Washington, Josh Pyke, Gossling, Pez and Kate Miller-Heidke has ranked him amongst the first-call producers in Australia. The new record (the first on Ferguson's own Pacific Theatre label) sees Castle and Ferguson venturing into sonic landscapes The Bamboos have previously touched on but never fully inhabited. There is a sense that the music is leaner and more muscular, yet upon closer inspection the tracks reveal themselves to be densely multi-layered in a 'Wall Of Sound' style. And it's this aural complexity and depth that allows darker moods to roam through the album, taking their sound to a new place. The songs career from the wondrously anthemic ('Avenger', The Truth', 'Rats', 'Jump My Train'), to the dreamy and psychedelic ('Looking West', 'Harbinger') and the darkly fragile ('Killing Jar', 'Before I Go'). Choosing this album to reflect the band as it is on stage, the vocals are split between Kylie Auldist and Ella Thompson. And each bring contrasting styles that complement each other magically, but show The Bamboos to be utterly unique.

Their songs have been regularly on playlists of national radio stations in Australia, the UK, France, the US, Japan and beyond. The unshakable charm of their songs has also seen them licensed to hit movies including Crazy Stupid Love, the soon to be released  Adore - Naomi Watts & Robin Wright. and TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, CSI New York, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Australian shows such as Underbelly, House Husbands, Offspring, Packed To The Rafters.
