Christoph Woerner was born in 1976 in Kassel, Germany. At the age of 14 he bought his first Kraftwerk record "Die Mensch-Maschine" and has been fascinated with electronic music ever since. In the same year he started DJing and until today he has played at a broad variety of clubs and events. His second passion is the web as he keeps the internet beautiful and running as a managing partner at a creative web-agency. Both passions combined first resulted in the web-radio station "Hörgenuss" in 2004.
In 2008 he co-founded the station KLANGEXTASE.de together with the DJs Stefan Schleich and Matthias Kunze aka moiree. KLANGEXTASE streams exclusive techno live sets and mixes every Tuesday starting at 8 pm (GMT+1). His musical style is defined by a mix of minimal techno, a strong interest in melodical sequences, musical storytelling and deep house tunes. Always crisp and with a tendency to get the crowds feet moving.

Daft Punk, Debussy, Chopin, Ludovico Einaudi : with such references, this 19 year old musician sees himself as a composer.
Mixing electro music and classical with an amazing sense of unsteadiness and offbeat tempo, Art of Shades plays with shadows and musical illuminations, through the use of piano, vilions and synthetic waves.
Melody remains the major priority : submerged in music since his childhood and initiated to academy, Art of Shades can even shift from turntables to keyboard, or shine at shows and for documentaries with breathless harmonies.

Far from offbeat artistic families, broken computers and restrictive music conservatories, the 30-year-old Parisian and mother-of-two has created a highly colourful musical project. Her debut album Crazy was released in France on 26 September, 2011. The inspiration for the disc comes from Ornette’s memories of her home life, at a time when she was still just Bettina Kee.

Nôze, an adventurous electro band from Paris. Ezechiel Pailhès and Nicolas Sfintescu are two comrades, two troublemakers, full of life, joy and happiness, often wearing their straw hats and stripping of their clothes at the end of their show after musically anything has been touched. A touch of Summer even in the deepest Winter. They are coming with a lot of gear, playing real instruments like the Korg MS20 and the digital legend Korg M1. Supported by their music computers, the big mixing desk as the core and their own voices, they create a unique show on any stage, taking the vibes of the club up to the max!

Duet Between Us, it’s Cebb and Sandy Perrellon! The two partners that had developed a mark in the biggest techno years in the south of France especially with their Barlive residence, deliver us a first promising maxi, and announced several dates in live particularly the «anîmé festival» organised by WOH, Between Us will play live alongside Barem, Miguel Campbell, Nhar or The Hacker...
Their track Renato is a techno anthem but with a disco vibe! It grooves, it turns, it’s prog and it has already proved to be a crowd pleaser on many dancefloors!

Robert and Sam first met in a little basement studio in a village not far from the coast of the Baltic Sea. At that time they played in different bands - Robert as a producer and keyboarder of a Depeche Mode influenced electronic liveact and Sam as a singer/songwriter and guitarist in several jazz- and rock bands. It took a while before they both started producing together and playing their liveset in various clubs and open airs in Berlin. But does it matter? What really matters is if they have something to contribute to the vast electronic music scene with its thousands of creative and talented producers. Surprisingly, they have! And it is not the latest club-rocking extremely loud techhouse chord, nor a trendy new special sound for the percussions that will then stay the same for the next 20 releases. And its definitely not a bunch of africa/swing or trumpet samples combined with a state of art house beat. It is the urge to write and compose techno songs. Not tracks... songs! Songs that dedicate themselves to the repetitiveness and intensity of electronic dance music and still fly with the emotion of real composing. You can catch a glimpse of that on umami's first vinyl "Ich & Du", a collaboration with AKA AKA on Stil vor Talent or their track "I come to you" which will be released on Burlesque Musique in 27. of September 2010. But be assured, there is a lot more coming…

"Sunny" is a disco cover version of Bobby Hebb's 1966 hit, recorded by German euro disco group Boney M, produced by Frank Farian and arranged by Stefan Klinkhammer in a euro disco arrangement. It was taken from their 1976 debut album Take the Heat Off Me, following their breakthrough single "Daddy Cool" and was another major hit single that topped the German charts.

A nomad of modern times, who has travelled the continents with his music, Nu (Fabian Lamar, Berlin) is as diverse in his musical styles as he is well travelled. Taking influences from his various homes the producer and trained sound engineer branched out into various genres. Through ten years-long musical journey Nu then found his true calling: instrumentals amalgamated with his electronic production all held together through solid rhythms.

Psychedelic artists used an infinite color palette to paint their rainbow visions. Acid Pauli uses his laptop to exhibit the colorful vastness of different music genres, putting together sounds like pieces of a puzzle. His DJ sets are like a mad Jenga tower: a beautiful and solid construction that can fall apart on wrong hands. But Acid Pauli (aka of Martin Gretschmann aus Weilheim in Oberbayern) is a true master architect, one of the popes of electronic pop - a genre that would be a whole different thing without the inputs of his own bands Console or The Notwist. But when it comes to blending pop and electronic music under his own moniker, Martin Gretschmann is definitely not same as the warm Acid Pauli: Martin Gretschmann seems to prefer liquid ice as a mixing element. Maybe that’s the reason why Björk trusted him during the recording of “Vespertine”… Two different voices in one acid artist.

It’s a common misconception of people who don’t listen to electronic music to generalize the sound, or write it off as all the same. However, people like Daniel Krajnyak (Berlin) are single-handedly disproving that kind of thinking. This is because Daniel Krajnyak, known better as electronic artist Rampue, is constantly changing his style and evolving his sound, showing that the electronic spectrum is, in fact, wide and diverse.
Born in the concrete desert of Karl-Marx-Stadt he learnt from an early age to just bite through everything and for that he needed a mouth full ofsaw teeth. At the age of 13 he had already begun to produce his first beats. Influenced by the the whole area of tension between techno and electro he has since then distilled the best music from a whole generation of pop from ELO to Kraftwerk and warmed the stone dry beats with hot sounds from the future. As a DJ he uses his know-how to soften wonderful synth-melodies and thumping grooves and can even make the hardest sounds soft. From minimum to maximum, from techno to trance and to proghouse and back. Everything that Rampue takes in his hand is danceable, whether he has produced, remixed or released.

Marek Hemmann has grown into the electronic music as a hunter, collector and true connaisseur of tones and sonics. The reason for the sonic passion was delivered to him via the techno parties late 90’s in his home area of Gera which was soon a weekly anchor for electronic experimentation. Here was to be found deep and delightful connections with people, rhymes, light and sounds. Until the first live gigs would come just a few years later, he made music for himself and his flat mates. This emboldened him to eventually begin to play his music live, leaving behind self-doubt and found with his first gig his calling as a live act. From then on he refined and improved his sets from which grew the distinctive Marek Hemmann sound; a sound with a minimum on technique but rather a very wide diversity of noise and tonal sensibility. Since 2005 Marek Hemmann lives in Jena where his home, studio and label are in the immediate vicinity. After innumerable remixes and a handful of singles, in fall 2009 his debut album ‘In Between’ was published on the label Freude am Tanzen.

Douglas Greed (Mario Wilms, Jena) started his path under this moniker in 2005 with the desire for a straight bass drum and the attitude of a music lover. Most recently he is an organizer and recording artist still; despite his many outgrowths. Meanwhile the enthusiastic music lover and indiemusic connoisseur has managed a considerable number of releases on straightforward labels like Combination, Lebensfreude, Kindisch, Infiné, Dekadent, Ostwind, Acker and of course Freude am Tanzen, as well as diverse remixes.
