KONTRAST presents VINCENZO (Dessous / Poker Flat)

VINCENZO
Vincenzo's serious interest in music began as a teenager, listening to Hip Hop and other styles of black music. Later, in the late 80's, when Acid House reached the europe, he was infected by the sound and energy of this new type of club music. He started out his dj career playing at small clubs and private parties and soon Vincenzo found himself involved in the Hamburg club scene.

Steve Bug, who lived in Hamburg at that time, noticed Vincenzo's talent and invited him to play at the party-series "Reduced" at Hamburgs cult club F.R.O.N.T.. Alongside his djing, Vincenzo started producing music and in the end of 1995, he released his rst single together with Sandro Catallo, called "Brunchbox EP" on Steve Bug's label Raw Elements. His rst solo track "Enchantment" followed on the rst Raw Elements compilation.

Together with Du er Swift, Vincenzo released on labels Stickman/Canada and on Stoopidness (a sub label to phono) under the name "Cascade". In addition, Vincenzo released a number of singles on Raw Elements. In the end of 1997, Vincenzo left Germany to spend time in New York City, where he teamed up Alexi Delano (Svek).

1998 was the year of Vincenzo's solo album debut. The record was called "1-800 Vincenzo" and was released on Dessous Recordings. It gained world wide attention and established Vincenzo as an internationally respected producer. Two tracks on the album were released on separate ep's, "Peace Is Not The Word To Play" including a remix by I: Cube and "King's Last Ride" featuring a rework by Ian Pooley.

In the summer of 1999, Vincenzo teamed up with DJ Rasoul, a shooting star house dj from san fransisco, for a collaboration under the name "Days Drive By". Vincenzo also began producing music together with Nottingham's John Buckby a.k.a. Schmoov, as well as djing worldwide.

In 2001, Vincenzo compiled and mixed the successful rst "Strip Joint Grooves" compilation. The great success underlined his dj talent once more and many international bookings followed across. Together with Elmar Schubert, Vincenzo delivered the second "Satin Soul ep" for San Fransisco's "Transport" label. Meanwhile, his solo ep "Different Cities, Different Songs" on Dessous Recordings had turned into a club hit, played frequently in house clubs worldwide.

After the sucess of the first "Strip Joint Grooves" compilation, the second volume (mixed & compiled by Vincenzo) followed in early 2002. This however, didn't mean that he lost focus on his own productions, Vincenzo finished the last touches on his second album "Welcome To Zanarkand" and it was released in October, 2002. The single from the album was called "The Charmer" and was release the same year, as well as the Silver Network release "Snider & Satin Souls" together with Marc Schneider and Elmar Schubert.

Besides remixes for labels such as Naked Music, !K7 and productions on Liebe*Detail, Was Not Was and Winding Records, and released a collaboration with Steve Ferrand called "Things Like That" on Dessous recordings in 2005. The ep gained a lot of international respect and proved once more that Vincenzo knows how to rock dance floors all over the world. In fact, he has even recorded a track with porn star Terri Summers.

In 2006, Vincenzo released the ep "Time Out" on Dessous Recordings, which became an essential summer tune, followed by two successfull releases on CSM and Liebe*Detail.

After living and producing in Barcelona for a few years, Vincenzo moved to Berlin in the summer of 2007. Now back in Germany, he nished an dj mix for a new double album on Dessous Recordings called "Dessous Best Kept Secrets", which featured his own tracks "The Resident" and "Fugism" alongside exclusive and successfull tunes from Dessous 12th season.

As we know Vincenzo, this compilation will surely not be his last stroke of genius. Let's see how the Berlin air will influuence his productions...

KONTRAST (1st B Day) presents Oliver Koletzki (Stil Vor Talent)

It sounds like a fairy tale. In 2005 29-year old OLIVER KOLETZKI presses 500 copies of his underground hit "Der Mückenschwarm". One of those white labels lands in Sven Väth's record bag and whenever he plays the track, the people go wild. Shortly after techno-king Väth signs the track on his techno empire Cocoon. "Der Mückenschwarm", already considered as a techno classic - becomes the best sold techno record of 2005, the best ever selling record on Cocoon and OLIVER KOLETZKI gets voted best newcomer of the year in prestigious Groove magazine.

But one would be fooled to think that this was the start of Oliver's musical career. Since he was 12 years old, OLIVER KOLETZKI has been deeply infected with the production of music. He starts out by programming Hip-Hop beats on the C64, but quickly falls in love with more electronic sounds like breakdance and synthie-pop that he produces on the first Amiga computers. When he turns 18, he also starts to DJ in his hometown of Braunschweig and quickly becomes a regular DJ in the local clubs. In 2000 he decides to move to Berlin to study music – and the excessive Berlin nightlife. He promptly lands himself DJ gigs in smaller clubs and bars, but with the release of his first record, things change for the better. In the summer of 2005 he starts to play festivals, gets booked into the most prestigious clubs all over the world and gets asked to remix the likes of Rockers Hi-Fi, Client or Cassius. However, while superstardom is lurking around every corner, Oliver stays down to earth: "I have been making music for nearly twenty years now. That provides me with a stable base for not going nuts. Basically, I am still doing the same that I have been doing for years now: making music during the week and playing out on the weekends, even if it is on a slightly different level now."

In October 2005, while still riding on the success of his debut single, Oliver directly realises one of his dreams: to have his own label. He founds Stil vor Talent, a label dedicated to pushing new artists and creating a platform for a huge variation of quality electronic dance music – from minimal techno to squeaky house to pop music. "From the beginning I wanted to give people the same chance that I've had and offer them a platform to release their music. However: the quality of the music is above everything else. Firstly, I have to like it", Oliver comments on the philosophy of his label. And he is a workaholic. He still spends hours and hours listening to demo tracks and goes out to see people play live in small clubs. Up until now, Stil vor Talent can look back on over 40 releases that include Oliver’s first artist album "Get Wasted", the über-hit "3 Tage Wach" or Oliver's latest masterpiece: his electronically influenced pop album "Großstadtmärchen".

OLIVER KOLETZKI seems to have a nose for commercial success out of the underground, which Lützenkirchens ironic afterhour manifest "3 Tage Wach" is the best example for: the track becomes the best-sold techno track of 2008. In 2009 Oliver continues this success story with the release of his album "Großstadtmärchen" – an electro-pop album featuring national and international big names such as Mieze Katz (MIA), Axel Bosse or Die Raketen as well as many newcomers such as singers Juli Holz, Pyur and Fran. With "Großstadtmärchen" Oliver has managed to achieve what only few techno producers manage can do: to produce a pop album with club credibility. The singles "Hypnotized" and "U-Bahn" get nationwide airplay on the radio and when Oliver plays them in the club people sing along to the lyrics.

But he wouldn't be OLIVER KOLETZKI if he didn't want to perform the album live on stage as well. In the summer 2009 he founds his band The Koletzkis with many of his old friends and the singer Fran. They have already played live at Bar 25, Watergate and Lido in Berlin as well as in Leipzig, Bern, Hamburg, Vienna and many other cities. For 2009 they have big plans: in the summer they will play the big festivals and will put Oliver’s music out there – from the clubs into the concerts halls, from the beach raves to the open-airs.

Label manager, producer, DJ, bandleader: above all this, Oliver still manages to fill the clubs around the world and make people smile to his energetic DJ sets. Be in the best clubs of Europe such as London's Fabric, Berlin's Berghain or around the rest of the world: Oliver knows how to perform and connect with his audience. In March 2010 Oliver will do another Australia tour, he will tour South America again and play the infamous Thai Break festival. While rehearsing with The Koletzkis and signing new hot artists for his label Stil vor Talent, OLIVER KOLETZKI is already working on his next album. There is really no stopping him in 2011!

KONTRAST presents DJ Schwa (BEEF Records) farewell party

Michal Ruzicka, aka DJ Schwa, is the man behind BEEF records and electronic duo Shades Of Gray. Michal became engaged in music thanks to his father, who is also a musician himself as well as an owner of a famous recording studio in Prague – ORM. At the young age, dance music caught his attention mainly through Radio 1. Around this time he tried to mix his first tracks. In 2000 he started performing publicly. In 2002, Michal started his weekly resident night in Prague at Cross Club and since 2003 he has been working as a sound engineer at ORM studio in Prague. In 2004 Michal, along with DJ Slater, started working on the first Czech progressive label and by the end of the year “Tribal Vision Records” was born.

At the end of 2005, Schwa rapidly changed his style and the idea of an innovative techno/house label became reality and thus established the foundation for “BEEF Records.” BEEF records has since then been slowly establishing itself as one of the hottest labels on the tech/house scene with release from respected artists such as Robert Babicz, Deepchild, Kreon, Jet Project, Arnaud Le Texier, Shur-i-kan, Pezzner, Mike Monday…

Schwa’s sets are not strictly one style oriented; he combines sounds that progressively flow from deeper shades of house to techno rhythms. Schwa’s unique mixing and track selection has resulted in a particularly massive following throughout Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, France, Austria, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Slovakia and Australia. Schwa has performed at huge international festivals such as “Open Air Field” (Czech Republic), “Parihaka” (New Zealand), “No Mans Land Festival” (Hungary), “Rainbow Serpent” (Australia), “Earthcore Carnival” (Australia), Good Vibrations (Australia) and while touring Asia Michal had a chance to perform at the biggest club in Japan – Ageha.

Schwa supported Djs/projects such as: Gui Boratto, Jimpster, Minilogue, Extrawelt, D-Nox, Propellerheads, Dj T, Jamie Jones, Ripperton, Alex Smoke, Antix, Orbital, Chemical brothers, Steve Angello, Deepchild, Kasey Taylor, Future Sounds of London, System 7, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Heidi, Tim Green and many more.

KONTRAST presents "X MAS SPECIAL"

-----------
YokoO
-----------
Not an Englishman in New York but a Frenchman in Sydney, Julien Beltzung aka YokoO is no stranger to house music in all its deepest forms. A studio head in the true sense of the word, Julien spends much of his time pondering basslines and warm synth riffs that heat up dancefloors the world over. With recent releases on highly regarded labels such as Musik Gewinnt Freunde, BEEF, Affin and Kina Music, Julien has marked out a spot for himself in the global house music scene with talent being sought after from every corner of the world.

His musical intuition drives his production and his full, groove based approach to seductive house music turns heads of many a label boss from Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Shades of Gray and the Cosmic Cowboys no less. As well racking up plays from the likes of John Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Gorge, Brothers Vibe and Valentino Kanzyani, Julien’s music has proven time and time again it can reach the record bags of the DJing elite in every continent.

As a DJ, Julien embraces the dancefloor with a dynamic and honest approach sparking it up with fresh music every time. When you see him play, you can see a genuine love for what he is doing and that naturally feeds back to his audience, fuelling energy and the fever of the dancefloor. The warm melodies work with the heavy basslines to create a unique sound that is deep but still pumping enough to get a party started. . . . and going til sunrise.

With a prolific and impressive discography, Julien has made his mark on noteworthy labels to date with both original releases and a back catalogue of strong remixes. His latest batch of unreleased productions are an intense gathering of melodies, working with a defined sense of groove and depth designed for the dancefloor and beyond. With upcoming releases for Affin, Kina Limited, Hertzlich, Reckless Republic amongst others, YokoO will undoubtedly hit the radar of many music lovers across the globe.

Through his ongoing residency at Sydney’s most respected undergound nights such as the legendary SPICE after hour club and PLUS + 1 Fridays, Julien is fast becoming one of Australia’s hottest exports in house music. 2010 has seen him complete a debut tour of Europe, which will no doubt ignite the next stage of his career as someone to watch on the electronic scene worldwide.

Robbie Lowe
-----------------
Over his 15 year career behind the decks Robbie Lowe has proven himself to be one of Australia’s most talented and respected Deep & Tech-House to Progressive & Techno DJ’s.

If an international artist has come through Sydney over the past decade, there’s a good chance Robbie has supported them at least once. In 2008, Robbie warmed up the crowd for Tiesto’s Sydney Elements Of Life Tour shows in Sydney. At the same time he took up the reins as part Label Manager & A&R for the UK-based Beat Code & Low Pressing record company.

These new roles go hand in hand with Robbie’s new production focus – His union with Sydney progressive house producer gun Matt Rowan bore fruit through 2007/08 with releases on Hussle, Outta Limits and Rococo, and he’s recently tuned in another release with Rowan for Proton Music titled ‘Ground Swell’.

Through 2009 Robbie continued is high profile supports including the ‘We Love Sounds’ festival and warming up for Danny Howell’s New Years Eve Renaissance show at The Chinese Laundry.

Already in 2010, Robbie has played the Sydney leg of the Big Day Out festival, and with Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Way Out West and Hernan Cattanoe. Alongside residencies at Musica, Shrug, Spice and Sunday Sessions.

Add to this a forthcoming solo EP and remix work with fellow Sydney DJ Tim Culbert, showcasing the deeper side of house music.

“Robbie has been a great warm up DJ for me in Sydney, always top stuff!"

Matt Weir
---------------
From a young age Matt had a diverse, almost eclectic taste in music, from reggae to rock, hip-hop to house, which turned into an eventual love of electronic music in all its forms. This love was cultivated in the late 90’s and turn of the century when Breaks and House, with rhythmic bass lines and epic vocals would keep the dance floors of The Underground, Globe and Yu filled, what seemed like every night of the week with parties like Funk Trust, Kink and Sounds on Sunday growing Matt’s desire to no longer sit on the sidelines. So in 2005/2006 with good mate Dave, Matt decided it would be a good time to start mixing himself. They bought themselves a set of Technics 1200’s, a shitty 2-channel mixer, started amassing a collection of vinyl and thumping out whatever they could to wake the neighbours.

Matt then went out on his own and moved into a different deeper, tech house sound, honing his DJing skills whilst being influenced by producers such as Vincenzo, Simon Baker, Lauhaus, Shur-I-Kan, Shonky and Phonique. Inspiration also came from local DJ’s such as Telefunken, Ben Morris, Murat Kilic, Shamus, Baz and Pete Nouveau for the way they consistently and enthusiastically approach music. Eventually Matt would love to concentrate solely on writing and producing music, but until then, he can be found showcasing his unique sound at Sydney’s best underground nights including, Spice and at his residency at one of Sydney’s leading weekly parties WHAM! at The World Bar.

---------------
DEEFLOY
---------------
DeeFloy is the affiliation of two musically minded Dj's and Promoters. Rees Hellmers and Steven Dee have been pushing there phresh sound of Deep Jackin and Tech House for two years. Starting out as a pair of bedroom banging Dj's doing local house partys but struggling to step into the nightclub scene. After hitting the clubs week in week out listening to the same commercial mixes they decided it was there time to make a mark on the Sydney underground society. They started playing on the Northern Beaches at Shore Club and Henry Afrikas doing regular gigs trying to promote the Deep/Tech sound, in an attempt to spread their sound into the Sydney city region. After getting noticed by the JACKIN' Crew they were then inducted into the city life of underground music scoring several gigs at Melt Nightclub playing along side Sydneys top locals including Matt Roberts, Illya Cooper and regular U.S jackin Locals. They are now ready to push their tech sound further.....KONTRAST.
