A key figure in the French melodic techno scene, Joachim Pastor began his career as part of the Hungry Music label alongside NTO and Worakls. He quickly earned recognition as a distinctive electronic music producer ; his sound is both orchestral and cinematic in its harmonies, sharp and precise in its melodies.
In 2020, he signed with the leading electronic label Armada Music and released his debut album Greater Message. He followed up the next year with multiple singles and remixes, including Season and its reinterpretations, and scored the documentary The Final Season, about world rally champion Sébastien Ogier. In 2023, he unveiled Adrenogate, a festival-ready four-track EP, followed by Blank Page, a more introspective piece.

In 2025, Joachim enters a new artistic chapter, diving into a digital quest shaped by artificial intelligence. His aim: to push its limits and fuse with it creatively ; not to replace emotion, but to enhance it. He unveils Phantomgrid in early 2025, followed by Take Away the Pain and Field of Snakes, which hint at a more ambitious project: a new album - PHANTOMGRID.

Joachim Pastor now reaches over 1 Million monthly listeners, performing on major stages worldwide including Dour, Tomorrowland, Paleo, Solidays, and Delta Festival

I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

Bio 
Fakear's electronic collages are inspired by influences as divergent but inspiring as the post-dubstep scene in London, and the films of Miyazaki. 
Having established a fervent fanbase in his native France, Fakear has gifted his globally-tuned dance music to an even larger audience after dates supporting Bonobo and ODESZA across the US and Canada. He’s made waves in the UK as well, garnering deserved notice from a consistently attention-catching figure herself—M.I.A.— who tapped the young phenom to produce tracks on her latest record and asked him to perform at her Meltdown Festival in London. His last record "Talisman" sees him tap in his old influences, but with the experience and techniques of his 10ish years experience in music producing.

Internationally renowned dance label from Hamburg, Germany showcasing platinum selling artists and releasing tracks by the latest and best producers and DJs in the electronic music scene for more than 25 years!

Current artist roster features Armin van Buuren, Lilly Palmer, VIZE, Leony, Loud Luxury, Scooter, EDX, Neptunica, Nora En Pure, WITH U, Neptunica, KYANU, Tiscore and many more!
