1ddual (Germany)

1ddual started making music when he was 12 years old. At that time, Fabian aka 1ddual played until his 17th birthday in various
punk / metal / emocore bands, the e-guitar, e-bass and percussion. The first releases were with the black metal band Nema (1993).
Later he played in lesser-known deep core bands too and oriented then more and more towards electronic music.
At 18, he started djing ambient and psytrance musik at small parties. Besides his own events he regularly attended parties in the electronic dance music scene. For nearly 10 years he remained in the psy / progressive-trance scene faithfully and had more bookings as a Dj at underground events.
In 1999 he started the production of his first own tracks with synthesizer and computer (Atari+Cubase).
In 2006, after a short break due to work (fashion photography), he began studying photography and new media at an Art university (incl. sounddesign). In this context, he and his girlfriend started with the audio-visual project: 2ddual. 2ddual audiovisual performance was focused on their own audio (deep-ambient)
and video material which were composed live. At the same time 2ddual were very busy as visual-performers in clubs and (film) festivals. This work was always
in direct contact with the music and has strongly influenced the current productions. After 3-5 years of intensive audiovisual work the duo split.
Since then Fabian (the leading part of the project)has been working alone in the field of audio and video production, photography and graphics under the name 1ddual.
Now his productions and dj-sets move mainly in the deep experimental minimal to psychedelic minimal area.

Bo Savio (Italy)

William De Paolis (aka Bo Savio) was born in 1981 in a small city near Venice, in Italy. He has grown up in the digital age, using intuitive software programs like Reason and Ableton to spontaneously express ideas and emotions.
His teenage years were spent playing blues and rock guitar in bands but this always meant compromise and he needed something more than that – something that would allow a purer form of self expression. At the time it was hard to hear good dance music in Italy apart from one or two tracks that crossed over into the clubs he sometimes visited with friends but that was enough to whet his appetite and he immediately got wrapped up in the beats, connecting with the music on a deeper level. He started exploring the electronic medium and became fascinated by how some DJs could apply their own peronal vision to the music, elevating it to an art form. This was exactly the inspiration he needed and he was soon experimenting with loops on his laptop, and buying records (Plus8, Perlon, Spectral and Minus).
His music has evolved to what it is today: elegant and dark minimal sound, a detailed groove manufactured with strange mad pieces and a visceral sound of low frequencies. Contact : willy81dp@yahoo.it

BpOlar (Belgium)

BpOlar is the son of a jazz musician and as such he was raised from a very young age listening to the jazz masters, and although his approach diverted from this it is part of his background and as such is part of his aproach to the berlin electronic music scene. BpOlar is also a multidisciplinary artist, creating digital drawings and paintings and 3D video clips to document his music and for live usage, or the opposite (makes music to illustrate video). BpOlar music is strongly focused on creating textures, with a close relation with ambient music. These textures are nonetheless rough and arid, and lead us to alien environments where beats, noises and voices all create suspense moments, where you feel alert all the way through.
If you pay attention to BpOlar work you’ll find, in his drawings/paintings, movies and music, traces of this imaginary world, where the central element is the feeling of unsettlement. Soundcloud

Dadive (Switzerland)

Dadive was born somewhere in south Italy in 1978. The first step into music was given by his artistically devoted family back in the days. So, the producer, dj or even composer Dadive has been busy with artistic expression and especially music for almost two decades. Since then, he spreads and shares his  passion, which is mainly electronic music in many ways and all together in different styles; from trip-hop to d’n’b or dub, then electro, so detroit techno, house, also soundscores but mainly minimal techno…or let’s call it as simple as electronic dance music ! He could delight the dancefloor countless times in various clubs, bars, studios and events together with other great artists like Dualism, Jorge Savoretti, Seph, Dilo, Octave, Secret Cinema, Demian Muller, Sleeparchive, Butch, Gaetano Pariso … just to name a few. His impressive live acts are occasionally described as dark, deep, compelling, with hypnotic vibes, mesmerizing sounds, though groovy among massively percussive. But for those who know Dadive personally, they could certainly confirm, that his predilection is essentially collecting, creating and manipulating sounds, noises and beats in order to (re-)arrange and produce a song or whatever….one  day, somewhere, somehow … Further, during the last few years he dedicated a generous part of his creative musical investment to the Creative Commons License Community. Sensitiv to that concept of  sharing musical experiences, he also co-founded a netlabel in 2010  named « Schaermoments » where one can pick and download some fancy releases, podcasts and links.
To make it short and to reach a biographical conclusion from this wise and manifold artist, here’s a characteristic quotation of him: designing music is all about poetry and love, and like love, you need to share it to perceive it’s power. Soundcloud

Pfalz aka Kai Eulberg (Germany)

Kai Eulberg : specialist music minorities, solvents, or just a music producer. Rarity sound has developed quite unusual, breathtaking in the world of club culture. Creative uncertainty enveloped the full knowledge of another. A deep study of the club industry has turned life found facts and made it know to the public now and what will appear in future demand. Approach to writing songs, has an unusual ecstasy, the fruits of which acquire a German sound, recreating the old to the new application. This led to the enchanting sounds of House music, which was made in support of sound producer Plastic Sound and German label Minim.All. His phenomenal thought not to be missed, as an inadequate approach to the music gives an unusual sensation in the depth of the source of the heart. He is always himself, his ideas no one can understand, dry and dark, he will transform and make a living, he can feel, breathe, have a meaning to understand. Kai Eulberg is not trying to invent something new on a large scale, as its ideas outside of reality. Once he said : « People are not ready for it, or punish me for it ». Time passes, and thus we learn and see many new things, whether it will be sooner or later.
Pfalz : the union of talent with the German view on electronic music. We do not have a specific goal to achieve something, we write music for the soul. Our format is not defined under the sound of the big club events, it does not drive, no energy, just calm deep melodies, interesting compositions, music that has meaning, a story. Our music is to listen, to penetrate into the story, to feel an interest, get a drop of euphoria from the transferred sense. We break all the stereotypes of genres that you’re used to listening to a certain sound, you will not hear from us in such a techno that you want to see, we have our own view on electronic music. Pfalz, an association of experienced producers to create the soul in song. Soundcloud

Philipp Wolgast (Germany)

Philipp is part of a small but evergrowing & eclectic school of Dancemusic-producers, based in and around Hamburg City. Born here in the early 70s into a family with intense leanings to Art and music, it was easy to foresee, that his life was up from the beginning unalterably dedicated to sound, and the increasement of the hearing consciousness.
Looking back on a colorful childhood and the fact, that any move he did was connected to a certain kind of music, he maintained keeping the focus on creating multitudes of musical styles, anytime leaving an ear and his mind open for any kind of Direction or Influence, that he could get aware of during the years. So most days of his blooming youth were spent in the parental garages of the northern hemisphere, teasing neighbours with one or the other of the numerous band-projects he was part of. Hip Hop, motown Funk and the all surrounding presence of jazz were indelibly competing with classic music, regular piano-lessons, the odd worlds of Atonal – and Industrial scapes, death metal and almost any other genre appearing in the last three decades, that seemed worth to pay attention to.

As a child of the vinyl-generation (Mom even sold vinyls in a record store for about 30 years), with tons of Wax of any kind in his collection, it was routine in the mid 80´s to have two decks and a mixer at home. Cutting & scratching was the plan, though he ended up early doing Beatmixes with the Hip Hop Music of those days.

To become a successful Progressive-Trance- and Techno-DJ in the beginning of the 90’s, was just the result of a natural progress then. From 1992 till the year 2000 Philipp played many gigs all over the world, including Hotspots like San Francisco, Melbourne, Stockholm, Mexico-City, Tokyo and even more exotic parts of Asia, just as well as regular gigs in the surrounding european countries and Scandinavia. He became co-founder and owner of the two renowned Progressive Labels Plastik Park and Sunset Recordings, still successfully runned by the loving care of Mrs. Sally Doolally.
Around 2001 it was about time to change directions and devote to the deeper variations of nowadays electronic Dance music. Perlon was born, Playhouse and Ricardo Villalobos started their ongoing conquest of the world, and Zurich and it´s pronounced nightclub-paradise, where Philipp lived for many years, did the rest to let him unconditionally dedicate his life and love to this fascinating Techno-Phenomenon. A short visit at the SAE-Institute in 2005 helped making the decision to finally loose fear of Technology and start producing music on his own. Since then he is steadily evolving sonic methods to express his intense thoughts and feelings about this complex, everchanging and whatsoever beautyful wonder called life.

To get rid of disturbing environmental expectations and general genre-fuckations, he invented his moniker SUCH A SAINT in 2011.
Philipp´s tracks and remixes get released on great labels like Suena Hermosa, loob label, Igloo Records, Krad Records, Vitalik Records, formResonance, Fantastic Friends Records, Kompass Musik, Numbolic, Kina Music, Hifreaks, Eminor, Der Hut, and many others.. Soundcloud, Facebook

XP-43 (also aka Rf061992) is Belgium’s mad professor and what comes out of his laboratory is pure darkness. Vanishing noises, ambient scapes straight from hell and mystical rythms are his leitmotif. In his macchiavelic approach to music, he manages to turn any noise into music. Nothing is safe from this field recording soul eater: the peeing 97 year old lady as less as the jackhammer breaking the pavement. Having his roots in the early 1980s New Wave and Post Punk era, he rapidly made himself a name in the belgian industrial scene (Symphonie Cubique, Reason Flowers, DRY, 3′n’more). In collaborations and jamsessions Rf061992 is a welcome guest far beyond the belgian borders. Just like a warlock, he manages to add a dusty and dark note to any kind of music. One could think of an unbreakable curse. Since 2005, Rf061992 evolves as Industrial solo artist as well as with different other artists in projects such as Col-Lab (Ambient Drones), Major Hardware (Electro Noir), XP-43 (Experimental), Lorsen, and of course also with belgian Drone guru BpOlar as BPRF. Contact

Zaid Edghaim (Canada)

Palestinian, born and raised in Saudi Arabia, Toronto  based, lover of music and economist of sound. His productions demonstrate a clear affection for crisp, clean sound grounded by deep baselines, claps, and warped glitches. His commitment to free thought and holistic approach to sound and programming allow for the creation of a world where intricately woven, meticulously crafted systems of structure indiscriminately give birth to spontaneous spurts of randomness. Soundcloud

Zark/Adrenochrome (Germany)

Zark and Adrenochrome. Fresh names on the scene but not a new kid on the block.
This man under their concepts is Sascha Müller – producer, studio wizard, jack of all trades and most of all one of the last standing true underground warriors within the electronic music scene. With countless releases on prolific labels like Skull Tunes, Psychocandies, Hamburg’s long standing Intrauterin Recordings and many many more attached to his belt, under his real name, known or secret aliases as well as a variety of collaborations the man behind ZARK is a true creative force, surely one to reckon with even though he’s rather to be found in the studio cooking up more serious goodness than out and about, falling into those sell out and social media traps an entire generation of DJs and producers got caught up in.
Techno is serious business. And ZARK is here for it.

ZAT (Colombia)

His interest in the sounds that are produced in different parts of the world began from a very young age, especially those with dense and deep textures that hide mysteries that only the listener can discover. He currently decides to start composing songs based on some events in his life where he has tried to connect with the wonders that surround the universe from nature and its elements to interstellar space.
