Falko Brocksieper
Falko Brocksieper first encountered electronic music in 1993 when attending numerous raves and clubs, and soon after he began acquiring his own skills as a DJ. The european rave-techno of the time was the initial counterpoint, after-which he discovered artists from Detroit, Chicago and the Midwest, such as Robert Hood, Woody McBride, Daniel Bell and Jeff Mills. In 1997 he moved from his hometown to Cologne, where he gained further influences from the city's vibrant minimal-techno and electronica scene. As ...
Speedy J
Jochem Paap (the Rotterdam artist owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux. Together with people like Laurent Garnier, Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin he helped raising the genre just after it had escaped the Detroit delivery room. Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. But while techno develops into a dominating force on many ...
Dave Turov
Born in Uzbekistan and raised 1980's Brooklyn NY immigrant style, east-west transitions and ghetto blasters where a way of life. Early connection to music came from the new wave / synth pop flare-up on one side, and the electro backed sounds that fired sidewalk break dancing, T-top IROC drive by's, and 86th St mix tapes on the other. Formal music began at age 9 with saxophone, then piano, dabs in woodwinds and brass, before settling into drums and percussion. For ...
Jonas Kopp
Jonas Kopp was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1981. His career as a producer was launched when he was 19 years old. After seven years of hard work we find one of the most representative argentine talents for the House and techno global scene. Jonas is very well depicted by the constant hypnotic flavour in his tracks, the techno arrangements, deep basslines that really fill the surrounding space, the use of effects like reverb ,delays and LFO's and his ...
Terence Fixmer
Icon of the electronic north of France, Terence Fixmer is one of France’s most treasured protagonists of the techno scene, of which he has been at the forefront for over 10 successful years. Respected by his peers and adored by fans of radical over- and underground electro, equally at ease in the club or at a pure techno festival, Terence reached this respected level, without ever succumbing to excessive promotion or subscribing to the mainstream. In summary:3 album, Two solo ...
Tim Xavier
Tim Xavier’s passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases a decade ago on Blueline. His incomparable, diverse production has transcended through the maturation of alternative dance music, and his dark, edgy sound has somehow remained in tact through his evolution. His current minimal/techno hybrid sound is featured on labels like Clink, Limited400 and Cocoon. He is the owner and chief engineer at Manmade Mastering in Berlin, and this sleepy-eyed coffee addict defines ...
Hauntologists
Hauntologists are Stefan Schneider and Jay Ahern, both artists have history in electronic music and making beats... but when the first Hauntologists EP was released on vinyl only in limited numbers via the Hard Wax Record Store in Berlin earlier this year, the duo let the music, rather than reputation do the communicating. The EP had no info, no promotion, just 4 tracks and a handmade cover with some African images that Stefan fancied. But, the release found it‘s way ...
Cheap & Deep
Cheap and Deep Productions Jay Ahern (Hauntologists, Add Noise) grew up in Florida, where 'Bass Music' and it's subsonic pulse was the soundtrack to those hot and humid Florida nights. Later on Jay heard the sound again in a new flavour, Chicago House and Detroit Techno , and during the 90's Jay started the 'Aquarhythms' label, releasing mixes by Carl Craig, Morgan Geist as well as under his own monikers to keep the deep beats rolling. Stepping out of the ...
Agaric
At the end of the 90's, after releasing the first output as part of "Headroom" on German and American labels, Patrik set up Native Diffusion records in 2000. This mainly featured his own productions and remixes from technoproducers such as Damon Wild, Inigo Kennedy, Takaaki Itoh & Hardcell. 2004 saw Headroom´s debut release on the classic New York-label Synewave getting licensed to the "Exhibitionist" CD and DVD compilation, compiled and mixed by world renowned DJ Jeff Mills, and as the ...
John Selway
In a world of electronic-music hit and runs, John Selway is a rare beast: an innovator and originator whose current work genuinely rivals his groundbreaking early projects. And while the DC-born, NYC-based producer and DJ has left his mark on countless styles, he’s defined by none of them, remaining devoted to his own multi-faceted muse. These days, Selway is best known for the ecstatic rush of “Total Departure,” his top-selling single with partner in crime Christian Smith, and for CSM, ...
Joel Alter
Born and raised in Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden in 1975 Joel Alter started his music career playing the violin at the age of 10. Ever since music has been an essential part of his life. Early inspirations were bands like Depeche Mode, J.M. Jarre and Front 242 which lead him to leave classical music for electronic. Joel have played live with jazzmusicians and composed music for the Swedish National Theater. He is in no way limited of ...
Chris Liebing
Chris Liebing is dj, producer, radio host of a weekly show and the driving force behind the labels CLR and Spinclub Recordings. His sound has continuously evolved during his dj career, always true to his Techno roots.

Paul Brtschitsch
Paul is not only a producer; he is also one of the rare genuine German Techno Live Acts, who still play live without laptop; just using his hardware.

Sierra Sam
When Sammy Goossens was 12, he got his first Yamaha CS01 synthesizer for Christmas and started to make noises. That’s where it all began. After playing in local Belgian bands, Sammy discovered he could make music on his own with a sampler and computer, leading to his first self-produced vinyl with 6th Sense Approach in 1995. Over the next decade, he would release on a variety of labels like Re-load, Pure Plastic, Access 58, R&S, Teknotika and Trapez. During those ...
Davide Squillace
Davide Squillace is not available for comment. He’s got to catch a flight; he’s rushing to the studio; the stage manager is frantically hurrying him into the booth; he’s meeting to discuss plans for his labels…or any of the other myriad reasons why Davide feels like he hasn’t slept, eaten or stopped running for what seems like his whole life. Born in Siena, raised in Naples, it took a trip to London for Davide to finally discover electronic music. Wooed ...
Quenum
DJ/producer Philippe Quenum is a long-time player with a resume that could kill a rainforest! You would need a lifetime to track down his extensive discography, from his own recording labels to other highly recognized imprints. He founded Access 58 in London with Paulo Nascimento, Cadenza with Luciano and Num records in Geneva. Together with Luciano he composed the first release on Cadenza, “Orange Mistake” - one of the most successful techno tracks of the last ten years. In all, ...
Brian Sanhaji
When Brian the young innovator, came across a music program on a friend´s Amiga 500, the desire to produce his own sound started to grow within. In the beginning he experimented with Hip Hop beats, but triggered by a “The Prodigy” gig he started focusing more and more on Techno. As much as for many of his contemporaries in the nineties, the legendary “Omen” club in Frankfurt served as a source of inspiration for him. His first two records under ...
Luke Slater
One of Britain’s true electronic music and techno pioneers, with a career that has spanned 20 years and counting, Luke Slater is a national treasure. Born in Reading and raised in Horley, Luke’s early sound dalliances with his dad's ancient reel to reel tape machine and his drumming stints led to work in local record shops including self set up infamous Jelly Jam in Brighton. By 1988 Slater was fully immersed in the embryonic acid house scene DJing at London's ...
Niederflur
NIEDERFLUR (Hannes Wenner and Christopher Bleckmann) are among the first acts on M-NUS since the early days. Sharing eight years of the labels history, NIEDERFLUR-releases have come a long way from the first series of 12”es, inspired by the Cologne Subway system, appearing very fragmented and conceptual, to their highly regarded recent releases such as “DIN” or “TYPO EP” and the latest highly acclaimed “LUMEN EP” on ARCHIPEL. Working together on their music for over twelve years, Christopher and Hannes ...
Johannes Heil
Versponnenheit, Fantasie und Individualität sind es, die Johannes Heil’s Produktionen seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung prägen. Immer etwas anders und mystisch, auch gerne gegen den Strom anschwimmend und vor allem stilistisch vielfältig steht für Johannes Heil nicht nur die Musik im Vordergrund, sondern wird diese auch immer wieder mit starken und subtilen Worten und Bildern verbunden. Ob Vocals oder Titel – Techno darf auch eine Aussage haben, solange sie nicht aufgezwungen wird. Die Initialzündung für seine Produzentenlaufbahn war das Zusammentreffen mit ...
Traversable Wormhole
Remixes by Surgeon, Marcel Dettmann, Sleeparchive, Function, Chris Liebing, James Ruskin, Peter Van Hoesen, Terence Fixmer, Kevin Gorman, Tommy 47 & Brian Sanhaji coming on CLR.
Shlomi Aber
Recognized as one of the main techno pioneers and influential artists of the recent time, Shlomi has the kind of impact usually reserved for inbound meteors, the reason for which is buried in a ground swell of genre-defying appreciation and support. a comment taken from a recent “Radio 1” interview provides a probable insight as to why his productions are hitting such a broad mark, “No matter if it’s hard or soft, it just needs to touch your mind, body ...
DUM (Alessio Mereu and Andrea Ferlin)
Although they may call themselves DUM, Alessio Mereu and Andrea Ferlin are certainly no idiots when it comes to creating house music! DUM’s style shows the producers’ combined sensibilities and plenty of dynamic contrast: smooth yet engaging, sophisticated yet functional, organic yet calculated. Mereu and Ferlin started their careers with solo releases on labels like Freak n’ Chic, CMYK and Harthouse, but it was only a matter of time before the two Italians would cross paths and decide to work ...
Derek Plaslaiko
Some people filter through the record bins, taking what are on the wall or record store employee suggestions. Then there are people who dig deeper into the dusty crates, and absorb music like a sponge; ignoring labels, bucking trends and are forever on a quest to find the perfect record. The ones that make the staunchest of chin stroking, note taking trainspotters lose their shit on the dancefloor, hanging on every record from one to the next. Derek Plaslaiko unquestionably ...
