Kyson

Kyson is an electronic musician from Adelaide, Australia currently based in Berlin, Germany. Electronic music as a whole is a disparate and ever-changing field – what was once a domain dominated by the big techno and dance record labels, clubs, and distributors is now an irrepressible force which has infiltrated the pop, alternative and hip-hop music, the advertising, and the radio stations that we hear around us, constantly, every day.

Superpitcher

Aksel Schaufler better known by his stage name Superpitcher, is a German producer affliated with Cologne's Kompakt music label.

In 2001, he contributed a track to Kompakt's first Speicher 12" and released Heroin, a three-track 12" with three different sounds; "Tomorrow" was later included on that year's Total 3.

Mark EG

Constantly searching for new sounds, original production talent and cutting edge club music, Mark EG is at the forefront of the UK's new music movement. But he refuses to be labeled. And this sometimes chameleon-like addiction to music has held Mark responsible not only for some of the most ground breaking releases in the hard techno world over the last few years (The Anxious), but also partly for the underground explosion of both hard trance and hardstyle through the UK.

Boris Brejcha

Born in 1981, Boris Brejcha was involved in music since early childhood.
His education included drums and keyboard lessons. This was a perfect foundation for the next step - producing and performing electronic dance music.
Boris Brejcha began producing and DJ-ing in November 2006. After both his first online MP3 debut "Monster" EP and the next EP titled "Yellow Kitchen" reached number one on many download platforms, he became the new techno shooting star and started playing gigs not only in his home country Germany, but also internationally.

Despite a common misperception, his music is not easily digestible, and can be more challenging to the average minimal/techno/hard house listener. He brings to the minimal sound a new sense of adventure, combining elements from electro, breaks, idm, and even sometimes (if you look really closely) some ambient arrangements in an attempt to expand the spectrum of minimal.

Boris Brejcha is also known under the moniker Anna which mirrors the more technoid and dark side of him.

Anna aka Boris Brejcha has released on labels like Harthouse, Regular and of course AUTIST.records (where it all started...) and his releases have been supported by the likes of John Digweed, Sasha, Richie Hawtin and Microfunk a lot since then.
