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.

The Scientists of Modern Music

TSOMM (for the abbreviation) are a synth bomb, the fallout being incredible tron-pop, beat driven glam-rock fronted by melody making, flesh and blood drones. With deep, rhythmic electric guitar hooks, crispy clean black and white outfits and more vocoders than you can poke an antenna at, these two take their audience on a journey that starts with a ramp and drives through the still clean disco to the fragmenting and decaying sounds of the future.

Harvard Bass

Anyone who has ever watched the birth of a genre before knows that it almost always grows from the youth; the fresh perspective. Well, I’d like to present a candidate for that new sound in the form of new-comer Harvard Bass. Clocking in at a measley 21 years of age, this San Diegoan seems to have stumbled, with his first original track, on a hell of jackin’ banger. If you have been through LA recently, you might recognize him as Sleazy V often seen amongst folk such as Paparazzi, Acid Girls, Johnny Love and so on.
