Thomas Brinkmann

Thomas Brinkmann (born 1959) is a highly regarded German producer of experimental music. Although experimenting with records since the early eighties, he gained wide reputation with his re-workings of material by fellow artists Mike Ink and Richie Hawtin released in the second half of the 90s. These productions were made by playing physically modified vinyl records on highly customized turntables with an additional tone arm.

Burger/Voigt

Burger/Voigt are Jörg Burger and Wolfgang Voigt. "They met as near-infants in the early ‘80’s whilst playing in different bands at a jam space…they immediately began to record together, sharing their enthusiasm for classic indie pop from bands like Scritti Politti, The Smiths and Aztec Camera. By the late-‘80’s they’d gravitated to the sound of Chicago’s acid techno movement. 1991 brought forth their first label, Trance Atlantic.

Saschienne

As Saschienne, Sascha Funke has formed a duo extraordinaire with multi-talented instrumentalist, singer and wife Julienne Dessagne, displaying an expressivity previously unknown to anyone following his solo work. Far away from the romantic hokum of crude feelgood songwriting, both not only focus on on the harmony and bliss, but explore the discord, the misunderstandings that great love brings with it.

Lawrence

Peter Kersten (AKA Lawrence, AKA Sten) used to be a gardener. His love of nature imbues a wistful spirit into his minimal techno structures, and a sense of organic progression is evident in all of his music. Having started the Dial label in Hamburg with his friends Carsten Jost and Turner, he became a producer of minimal club music that is equally apt for the dancefloor and the armchair. Some of Kersten’s favorite artists include Theo Parrish, Gas, and Isolée, a fact that tells of the many shades to be found in his work as Lawrence.

Alec Troniq

ALEC TRONIQ is the radar for electronic music. Even two decades ago, when synthetic waves captured the ears of a whole nation, his senses were already tuned to receive. Since these days his unwaning claim is to transform Techno and House into more than just club music. A claim which consequently fuels the autodidact to develop his tracks and live performances within a constantly expanding spectrum.
