It has been a very busy time for Eddie Richards, dance music’s quintessential pioneer and "Britain’s godfather of house and techno" (Mixmag). One of the first DJs to champion house back in the mid 8O’s & one of the UKs original mix DJs residing at London’s Camden Palace, voted ’best club in the world’, (R.M.) Eddie Richards became a key figure in a new music and cultural movement soon to explode worldwide. After playing at such influential and original underground clubs as Clink St. & Heaven in London and Manchesters Hacienda, he went one to headline legendary pay parties’ Sunrise. Energy. and Helter Skelter among countless others. Remix and production work led to the release of club classics; ’Acidman’ in ’88 which hit National Top 20, followed by other chart topping remixes of Ralphi Rosario, Orbital and The Shamen. Since the mid 80s Eddie Richards has been included in virtually every book, documentary and film on the dance culture and sought after all over the world for his flawless mix of deep bass driven techno with soulful & tough tribal house, a format he has always maintained, and has led him to be widely regarded as the pioneer of ’tech-house’.

Born in Rome, Donato Dozzy was fascinated by music even at an early age of childhood (by the age of 13, he was already a vinyl junkie!)
Over the past few years, Dozzy has been one of the chief characters at the Saturday night events at Brancaleone, one of Italy’s most celebrated clubs and a key promoter of underground music in Rome. He played a leading role at the microhouse night, together with some of the best DJs on the international scene, serving up DJ and laptop performances of great emotional impact, offering a microtrancey journey across the spectrum of electronic music.
As a producer, after his early work with the Kitchentools, Dozzy has released on Orangegroove, Lan Muzic and Rome-based Elettronica Romana (distributed by Neuton and Kompakt respectively). He currently resides in Berlin where he is channeling the city's colorful and vibrant energy into his own personal experience and seeking professional help for his old vinyl addiction.
Of Finnish descent, but born and raised in California, TIN MAN now has a home in Vienna, a town perfectly suited to his deep and moody productions. TIN MAN launched his Global A label project in 2005. The first two releases, 'Places' and 'Acid Acid', weighed in at three pieces of vinyl each, and showcased his two major musical passions: fragile deep electronica and acid house. TIN MAN has acclaimed releases on the Finnish record label Sähkö / Keys of Life, Cheap Records from Vienna, and continues with new releases on his own imprint, Global A . While TIN MAN's output is diverse in its references, certain underpinnings can be heard throughout. There is always a strong reference to Acid House music, as well as a strong reference to Ambient and Electronic Pop music from the past 30 years. TIN MAN's newer output features his voice and follows a "concept album" format. Thus, complete records are as important as individual songs. The songs tend to follow a simple structure with changes that grow slowly within motifs. Mood construction and story telling are both equally important. And with each new record, there are new historical references to tell different stories. TIN MAN also continues with his passion for Acid House by continuing to produce retro-acid tracks and playing live shows regularly. These live shows celebrate early house music, its hypnotic charm, and its blissful raw energy.

Dj & Producer Dave DK (aka David Krasemann) has been making waves in the electronic music scene for a couple of years now.
In 1999 he became resident at Tresor in Berlin (RIP), and later also at the legendary Panorama Bar.
His sound simply is the result of different styles that have influenced him throughout the years. "I have a passion for the wide range between house and techno tunes as well as pop music and dancefloor stuff of the early 90's".

Pablo Bolivar, dj and producer started with music very young, being his first radio editions and dj sets in his natural city, focused on electronic music since 1996. After a good impulse to this kind of music in Santander, he moves to Barcelona searching for new ideas and shapes, playing at clubs and festivals all around Spain, Europe and the rest of the world. In 2003 he won the prize for the most risky proposal at Bilbo-Rock Festival in Bilbao. Definitely he was different...
He produces for Regular label, where in January 2006 released his first LP on his own "Anjanas", a work full of electronic dance tracks and experimental music. We can also find other works under the name of Paper on labels like Minuendo, Software, Bay Street, Pulsewith, Galaktika, Dpress, Justified Cause... and also has made several remixes for different artists.

History of a Ping-Pong-producer duo...
Vodka, ass-shaking nights and travels - Chi-Thien Nguyen aka Chopstick and John Muder aka Johnjon, wanna see the world! John quotes an article about Tiefschwarz that he once read: “We just wanna see the world and what better way is there than seeing it as
a DJ.” We totally agreed with that and it is our driving force till this day.

Dexter discovered the sound of acid house at parties organised around London in the late 80's. Nights such as Mad Cats, Sabre Sonics, the RIP parties held in Clink Street; and then later the infamous Wiggle parties, which were to become a major influence in Dexter's sound.

Born in London on Nov 29th 1972, Phivos (Phoebos) was raised in a musical family and it quickly became apparent that the passion had been inherited. By the time he was 11 he had an addiction for synths. As a teenager his taste became more electronically inclined by the success of bands such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, John Foxx, Ultravox & Japan. At the age of 16 he already had a basic collection of analog synths/drum machines and had played In a number of bands as a keyboard player. His love of Detroit Techno / Chicago House emerged from going to the early warehouse parties and underground clubs in and around London back in ’88, ’89.
