buraq is a DJ, music composer and producer based in Zurich, Switzerland. Having made his first nightlife experiences in the Swiss club scene, he decided to become a DJ in 2005. Only six months after having bought his very first DJ equipment, he officially gave his club debut as an artist. 

His admiration for music has carried him through his late teens and continues to hold today, as music has become an integral part of his life ever since. Whether he was organising his own parties, improving his production skills by gaining deeper insight into the techniques whilst studying Music and Media Art or working in A&R and marketing departments of a major label record company. Ever since day one he was fascinated by the way this form of art can evoke a wide variety of emotions and enact to unite people. As such, his highest priority is to broaden his horizons and surround his life in a musical environment. 

Regarding his own DJing, buraq is known for rendering powerful performances in his live sets. His goal is to continually create special vibes and atmospheres, whereby inviting the audience to an unforgettable journey guided by his subconscious mind. Moreover, his productions include a variety of streams, ranging from conventional deep and tech house tracks to more experimental pieces, however, always aiming to cherish the dancefloor relatedness. Since his first release in 2008, he has had the opportunity to release his music on established underground dance record labels such as Cyclic Records, Bondage Music, Flash Recordings, Sirion-Records and Stil vor Talent.

Still Music is based in Chicago, IL, and is the brainchild of Jerome Derradji. Now in its seventh year, Still Music has been instrumental in the worldwide proliferation of some of America’s freshest underground dance music. From raw disco to beautiful, refined techno, and stopping at every tempo and mood between and beyond, Still Music and its sublabels Past Due and Love For Music have found room to include artists both established and new, releasing what can only be described as GOOD music. 

This is the natural way of working for Mr. Derradji, who moved to the US in 2000 and cut his teeth working with various record shops and electronic music distributors in Chicago. He decided to launch Still Music in 2004, with the inaugural release featuring Amp Fiddler from Detroit remixing Patchworks from France. With this template set, Still Music went on to release music from veteran dance producers such as Rick Wilhite and Gerald Mitchell, while also stretching out into other genres on Randolph’s “Lonely Eden” album and Seun Kuti’s political afrobeat on “Think Africa”. Still also dropped the In The Dark compilation, showcasing the then-emerging Detroit house sound and featuring the production debut of Keith Worthy, which was touted as Groove Magazine’s #1 release the month it came out. These credentials have earned Still Music “Label of the Month” status in XLR8R magazine and on leading dance music site Resident Advisor. 

Not satisfied with Still Music’s impressive breadth and depth, Jerome also launched two highly successful sublabels to compliment the main label. Past Due records is the place for long-forgotten independent disco and funk gems to be unearthed, reissued, and remixed by modern producers, bringing artists like DIT and Greyship Daviz into the spotlight they (wrongfully!) never achieved the first time around. Love For Music (also known as Stilove4music) is the label dedicated to more underground sounds, from disco edits to lo-fi house and techno madness.
