Mihai Popoviciu
Mihai Popoviciu is considered as being one of the best electro producers from Romania and Eastern Europe. Born in 1981, Mihai found himself attracted to the rave scene of the mid 90s and at the age of 15 he discovered house music and detroit techno through Berlin House, a TV show from the german music channel Viva TV. His passion for the electronic sound grew very fast and after 4 years of being obsessed with techno, by the time he was 19, he started producing his own music.
Alix Alvarez
They say curiosity killed the cat, but for this cat curiosity only made him stronger as he was driven to search for new sounds in early hip hop and beyond harvesting each sound into his unique production style of today. “Im layin’ the foundation down” declares Alix Alvarez as he raps about past present and future. Born and raised in The Bronx, NYC this humble cat has been making waves in the music game for quite sometime. Nourished on vinyl selections of disco, soul and salsa by his parents in his formative years, Alix was conditioned to be a musical mastermind at an early age.

Manik
Manik started djing in 2005 using a little mixer , a discman and an old laptop; These days he was influenced by the upcoming commercial elektro-house scene and learned to mix with it. In 2006 he buyed his very first professionnal dj-set containing a mixer and 2 desktop cd players. But by the end of that year a whole new and different music style caught his head and became incredibly passionate by it: drum'n bass.
Christopher Rau
Hamburg-based DJ/producer’s woozy sounds were weaving their melancholy magic for such keenly-followed local publishing houses as Smallville and Laid. Working alone or, as on this year’s “Cloverleaf Days,” with Jacques Bon, Rau’s staked out an affecting sound that marries cotton-packed miniature melodies to gently determined rhythms
Fantastic Man
The work of both Mic Newman and Fantastic Man reveal a raw talent to spread across a number of genres. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia and a family of musicians, his focus on electronic music has gained star status in his home country, where he, along with a new breed of local artists have put Australia firmly on the house radar, with an ever-expanding scene developing. Key releases and remixes on major players in Europe have meant the transition to the international audience has been equally impressive.
