> PAUL WOOLFORD:
With forthcoming music being released on Carl Craig’s Planet E, Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings, London’s Phonica label, Paul Woolford keeps reinventing himself and pushing the boundaries, maintaining a hectic global tour schedule playing key clubs globally such as Panorama Bar, Fabric, Warung and D Edge in Brazil, and for the 6th year, the renewal of his key We Love.. Space on Sundays residency in Ibiza. Initially inspired by the constant throb of the radio throughout his childhood, the seeds of Paul Woolford’s future direction were sewn by the time a record-collecting addiction kicked in properly during his teenage years. This insatiable appetite for musical stimulation has driven him to explore far beyond the cutting-edge house and techno that is his stock-in-trade, and led him down more experimental paths, embracing aspects of improvised jazz through his collaborative work with Paul Hession, and taking huge inspiration from the modern composition of Steve Reich. All this is distilled within the house and techno dynamic that Woolford has made second-nature and you can clearly see these influences emerging across various productions.

> LUCA LOZANO
Luca Lozano fronts the highly applauded and much respected Klasse Recordings both as its co-founder as well as its primary artist. The British born, Berlin based DJ / Producer champions a sound that neatly rides the wave between House, Techno & Trip Hop where thuggish bass lines take center stage and deep, dark emotions intertwine with the upmost ease and style.

> MR HO
Mr. Ho is a nomadic music lover who from a young age has been schooled in the art of turntablism, record digging, and party rocking. Together with Luca Lozano, he runs the well respected Klasse Recordings.

> PUSCHMANN:
Florian Puschmann has been rocking the dance floors in Austria and abroad since 1999. In his DJ sets he interweaves various sounds ranging from deeply impulsive to dryly minimal, sampling from the larger pool of house and techno music. Together with colleagues Bitz and Clara Moto, he operates the small record label hausboot. In addition, under the label White Elephant Lab, he collaborates with Tobias Kestel on product and experimental design, research projects, and on works in public space.

> DIZZY WOMACK:
Dizzy Womack is the matured moniker of his formerly known name DJ Dizzy, with which he already gained support from luminaries such as Diplo or Drop The Lime with his backward bass-heavy 4/4 productions. His metamorphose to a more house-oriented productions don’t come as a a shock for anyone who knows what this guy is all about – he’s always had a particular slant playing with different genres, ranging from idm to tropical vibes, house, bass music and beyond. As Dizzy Womack it seems like he is now finding his golden mean, with a more sophisticated, groove oriented filthy club sound, including house, bass and hip-hop elements. After his successful ‚Black Ice‘ EP Release earlier this year on finish label Top Billin, he is now looking forward to his next big step, an upcoming three track EP coming out on Discobelle Records later this fall. His constant support from medias such as XLR8R, Discobelle, Magnetic Mag and so on, speaks for it self so keep your eyes close to this talented man!
