Welcome to the hardness level 1,000 of electronic music, welcome to the world of: Sebastian Groth. As a DJ and producer, he is an integral part of the German techno scene. As the label operator of ReWasted, one of the main addresses for hard techno worldwide, he is also one of the most influential players when it comes to the defining sound and trends of the last ten years in the field of hard techno. With a mix of uncompromising techno, his own edits and special old-school vibes, he skillfully generates his very own genre on the edge of madness by using classic hardcore and schranz elements: power techno!
It is this tendency to DJ as a true entertainer with contact to the crowd, a smile on his face and a slightly ironic attitude to his own work that characterizes Sebastian. The Westerwald (Germany) native discovered his passion for electronic music early. At the age of 14, he bought his first DJ set-up and organized his first illegal rave at the age of 16. His first own release in 2008 found its way straight to house music pioneer George Morel, who gave him the opportunity to remix his 1993 classic "Let's Groove". This first major success paved the way for a great career.
Since then, Sebastian has made himself a name as a workaholic, not only as a producer and remixer. His discography includes countless releases on some of the most important labels for hard techno and includes remixes for the who's who of the top league. So, it comes as no surprise he's received a multitude of awards for his work over the years, including the award for "Best Techno Producer".
Since his beginnings, the techno scene has changed many times, many artists have come and gone, but Sebastian has stayed, because: His heart beats 150 BPM and faster.
"Very few artists polarize the German techno scene as much as Sebastian Groth. Love him - or hate him!" - Faze Mag

Chris Liebing is synonymous with techno. His legacy is long assured, but his craft never stops evolving. Whether as label head, podcast curator, DJ or producer, he continues to challenge himself and his audience to explore new realms in the electronic world. And often ahead of the curve, too, from the early, hard-edged and loopy 90s sound which is back en vogue today, through his more stripped-back turn of the millennium minimalism and onto the cinematic atmospheres and broader alternative electronica of his latest albums on Mute. It's no stretch to say, then, that Chris Liebing's story is closely connected to the story of techno itself. 

Liebing is considered a global techno ambassador, but his ambitious album projects and direct club tracks excite and innovate as much as any new school star. A proudly forward-thinking attitude ensures that is the case as his DJ tools and studio setup constantly evolve. He continues to be an early adopter of emerging technology, too, just as he was with vinyl controllers, Traktor and when leading the way with full hybrid/live DJing. 

These days, Liebing incorporates an ever wider sphere of sound into his own work. After an eight-year break from full lengths, 2018's Burn Slow on Mute was a creative rebirth that received critical acclaim and confounded all expectations. It was a melancholic mediation on gothic moods, looming apocalyptic landscapes and optimistic broken-beat techno that drew from his childhood love of Depeche Mode, Gary Numan and the New Romantic movement. 

Remixes for Depeche Mode and Goldfrapp followed alongside a collaborative single with Charlotte De Witte, and 2021 brought a second album on Mute, Another Day. It found Liebing exploring all new ways of expressing both his euphoric and melodic side, all with high-grade technical skill and meticulous sonic craft with a range of collaborators from Miles Cooper Seaton to Polly Scattergood. This exceptional form continued into 2023 as he returned to the club with his Love Those Who Fight With Passion And Faith EP on CLR, a passionate and politically charged call to the dance floor that joined Liebing and Luke Slater’s remix of Depeche Mode’s iconic ‘Ghosts Again’ in the first half of the year. 

Born in Giessen and active ever since the 1990s, Liebing has always platformed the talent around him as much as himself: a long time before they were commonplace, he famously helmed his own CLR podcast. For many years, it was the scene's most influential series, with a who's who of international pioneers at the helm. After that came the equally important AM/FM radio show, but now following a hiatus, the CLR podcast is back and pushing a fresh techno agenda, as is his iconic label of the same name.

In its first chapter, CLR stood for Chris Liebing Records, then Create Learn Realize, and now Create Learn Repeat - a subtle evolution that is at the heart of everything Liebing does. The label will always be synonymous with exciting techno and is now back hosting parties and festival stages. 

Though his music is underpinned by pulsating menace and a stomping sense of drama, Liebing himself is friendly with a famous smile. It is the music that motivates him and the freedom that comes with increased experience. These days there are no limits, no expectations, but a continued love for the art and craft of techno that is taking him down all new creative pathways.

The Dandi & Ugo duo is born from a strong friendship and a great passion for techno music. It is their native land (Romagna) that takes them to frequent and,successively, perform in Rimini and Riccione's clubs in their most magic period (beginning of 90s). After a decade of DJ sets in clubs such as, among others,Echoes Liz Club / Cocorico' / Pascia' / Ecu / Peter pan / Classic Club / Madame Butterfly, they decide to switch to production thus starting a newadventure that takes them to realize records, initially with prestigious Italian labels ( Re>>Vox records / Stereo Seven Plus Records ) and next european labels ( Lasergun / Great Stuff / LuxaFlex records / Art minimal Berlin / Sammeplant z / Immigrant ) with a big success with creations from artists such as Rchie Hawt in/Len Faki Mihalis Safras / Florian Meindl / Marc Houle / Gregor Tresher / Someone Else / Xpansul / John Aquaviva / Mart in Eyerer / But ch / Mauro Picot t o / Markant onio / Joseph Capriati / Claudio Coccoluto / and many others. In 2006, together with Alessandro Piatto ( N.O.I.A / Klein & Mbo) t hey decide t o open t heir own label. This starts the birth of ITALO BUSINESS RECORDS, a project divided into 4 parts: vinyl, net label, digital download and booking agency. The discovery of new artists worldwide, and the support of internationally known DJs , makes of this label a referring point for the Techno movement."

MIKE VÄTH
(Nachtstrom Schallplatten - Zürich) 

Mike Väth (or Vaeth) is a real Frankfurt "original", even though he's been living in Zurich since 2007. 

And yes, he's "the brother of..." But he's so much more than that. It seems as if all the members of the Väth family have a creative urge looking for an outlet. 

While his brother Sven famously turned to music and nightlife, Mike Väth has been involved in digital art for many years.
Only after his "other livingroom", the legendary Frankfurt-based Omen club closed its doors forever, music became a relevant means of expression for him. 

Together with René Walliczek and Paul Schulte (Ex-Earth Nation & D.A.F.) he founded the "Mike Väth Project". 

A few years later he discovered DJing for himself, from that point on there was no stopping him. His set at the "We are Punks on the Beach" festival left the audience ecstatic and on the verge of exhaustion, earning him an impromptu deal with Datapunk label boss Anthony Rother. 

Mike Väth has developed a very distinctive style, he assembles his sets from electro, techno and hypnotic drums. 

His presence behind the decks rivals that of his brother. Seems to be in the genes after all. Be that as it may, Mike Väth is an exceptional artist in his own right.

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!

“Unverblümte Hingabe zu jedem Beat, zu jeder Bassline und zu jedem Augenblick” das beschreibt Kevin Witt’s Hingabe zur Musik ganz gut. Die Frohnatur hat sich im Rheinland längst einen Namen gemacht und zählt sich selbst zu der Gattung der “Macher”! Die Leidenschaft zum Techno setzt er bereits seit 2008 in seinen von den Fans heiß geliebten und treibenden Sets um. Er ist bereits Deutschlandweit in den gefragtesten Clubs unterwegs und begeistert nicht nur mit einzigartigem Sound, sondern auch mit seinem sonnigen Gemüt die Leute auf dem Dancefloor.Seit 2013 produziert er seine eigene Musik und greift mittlerweile auf ein umfangreiches Repertoir an Tracks und tollen Kollaborationen zurück. Seine Alben “Hochgeschwindigkeit” (2014) und “Review” (2016) erschienen beide auf dem namhaften Label TK rec von Torsten Kanzler, mit dem er seit Jahren regelmäßig zusammenarbeitet und befreundet ist. Zu den aktuellsten Releases zählen seine EP’s “Plastic” (2017) auf TK rec sowie “Raindrop” (2018) auf Oneroot, dem hauseigenen Label seiner Booking Agentur Inside.Kevin jagt keinen Trends hinterher. Er schafft sich mit viel Fleiß, einer großen Portion Kreativität und einer Menge Herzblut seinen ganz eigenen Stil und seine Hörer lieben ihn dafür. Eines seiner prägendsten Club Erlebnisse erfuhr er auf einer TK rec Labelnight im Club Magdalena Berlin, wo er nicht nur vor vollem Haus sondern auch mit einem wahnsinns Soundsystem nach Klaudia Gawlas spielen durfte. “So etwas habe ich noch in keinem anderen Club gespürt, Gänsehaut pur”. Diese Erfahrungen sind für ihn Gold wert und spornen ihn an immer weiter zu machen!
