In a city, oppressed by both a stifling heat and a musical style equally as stagnant, onur helped battle to change the old rules and break old habits, breathing fresh life into a dispirited club scene. armed with his vinyl case, still dressed in his shabby student clothes, he entered the clubs to share his biggest passion, dancing without reason. word quickly caught on and the clubs soon filled up for onur's increasingly renowned sets.onur continued to fight the cause and helped found a number of new, vanguard venues, venues, recognized for constantly bringing the new sounds, styles and names to Turkey's capital. whilst fulfilling his passion he worked every day to keep that hot air circulating with fresh, innovative ideas.in 2002 he began to export this warm istanbul sound to different cities in germany. since then he has kept the crowds dancing in such prestigious venues as robert johnson, harry klein, studio 672 and kerosin.2004 witnessed a turning point in his career and he became the resident dj of the highly-rated party series, "sweet sense". as the real owner of the house he welcomed many a distinguished international act.In 2005 he began to take his already well-honed musical talents into the studio, releasing his debut ep, "freakdisco" on freude-am-tanzen recordings in august and another, "envy ep" on vakant the following month. germany's groove magazine rated him one of their up-and-comers of the year.it is all just beginning for onur özer. 2006 will see his next ep release on vakant, "twilight", out mid march, which promises to claim yet more dance floor victims. the first of many, many, more in the journey of this young turkish star. watch this space.
Mike Shannon
Over the last ten years Mike Shannon has been at the vanguard his craft using a lurid sense of personal aesthetic that has made him a luminary in the Canadian electronic music scene. Raised in Kitchener Ontario, Mike began mixing records at fifteen with incisive extrapolations of acid house and techno before branching off to other elements of the electronic genre that manifest as diamond-edged production skills. Using the vehicles of techno/house, and emotive elements that transcend and subvert the periodic table of known musical genres, he began to network with other artists and founded Cynosure recordings a label designed to serve as a platform for like-minded producers and artists adept at eliciting the emotional response of the listener by virtue of their uncompromising ethic towards a high artistic, yet accessible standard. In its 7 years of existence, Cynosure has released singles from Latino/euro-tronic stalwarts like Pier and Andres Bucci and Sieg uber die Sonne a long side Canadian artists as Adam Marshall, Mossa and Deadbeat. Plus a few singles and of his own under the John Shananigans guise and collaborating with J.Hunsberger as the Sunaj Assassins. By 2000, with Cynosure quickly gaining a reputation for cutting the throat of the mundane sound that has been prevalent in the auditory landscapes both at home and overseas, Shannon embarked on his first European tour with Jeff Milligan. The pair's highly individualized mixing and sonic presentation left a favorable impression on European audiences and by 2001, Shannon caught the attention of the Force Inc. Music Works imprint, which signed his full-length debut, "Slight of hand”. That year Mike and Jeff would formally partner on the operation of Jeff’s imprint Revolver Canada. Mike and Jeff both relocated in Montreal to begin working closer with the core of the prolific Cynosure and Revolver artist roster. In 2003 he relocated to Santiago, Chile for a six months tour/production adventure. He began to work on a down-tempo project that later blossomed into an album called “possible conclusions to stories that never end” in 2005 was signed to Berlin’s infamous Scape records. Fusing minimal techno’s finely honed finely honed rhythmic instincts with classic downbeat’s braoder tonal palette. After 6 months of touring South America, and working with other music pioneers as well as firing off a volley of new releases Mike then returned to Montreal to continue studio work on other forthcoming emanations that would appear on Logistic, Wagon Repair and Dumb-unit. Currently located between Valencia, Spain and Berlin Germany mike continues seeking only to undermine the mediocre mindset that afflicts music, life and spirit.
Junction SM
The explosive LIVE/DJ combo composed by Dandy Jack’s sophisticated rhythms & sounds and Sonja Moonear’s fine records selection. Sonja Moonear, creative and talented DJ from the Swiss mountains, and Dandy Jack, live musician well known through his productions as well as his amazing live performances, are the two ingredients of the duo JUNCTION SM. Their 1st performance happened by chance with the help of Weetamix promoter Dimitri. Suffering a last minute cancellation by US legend Robert Hood, he let Sonja & Dandy take the control of the whole night. A one-hour blackout paralyzed half of the country on that night. And when the electricity came back, the club, still packed, was ready to explode. So both musicians played together till the early morning. JUNCTION SM was born... Two years after this magic moment, JUNCTION SM gave birth to its 1st EP on German label Kalk Pets, Karaoke Kalk sub-label dedicated to the dance-floors. The JUNCTION SM performance is all about a perfect mixture of Dandy Jack’s live improvisation and Sonja Moonear’s record selection. Jack’s sets are routed through 2 channels of Sonja’s DJ mixer in order to let her control the whole given sound. She can use his sounds as an additional source to her records, but also filter, cut or edit it with several effects. She pitches her records to Dandy’s live set. Sometimes Sonja mixes entire records over his sets, or sometimes she only adds a hihat, a bassdrumm or a simple melody. It can also happen that Dandy Jack improvises solos or additional rhythm patterns on top of Sonja’s mixes that increase breaks efficiency. The magical thing is that everything is directly connected to the crowd. Rises and slopes are modulated according to the audience’s motivation. Depending on the development of the night, Dandy Jack can reload new sets while Sonja is taking over the dance-floor, or she slows down her input and let Jack performing solo. The link between both of them and the public is the oxygen of their performance. Out of this chemistry comes a wonderful tension that drives the night till the early hours. Both actors’ inputs are generating such a generous and various sound flows that it gives the impression of a perpetual live production. You will never recognize any pieces, or have any repetition between the sets. The frontier between live sets and records just vanishes. The audience gets lost in trying to know who does what and it’s more fun for everybody.

After a couple of season, Alex felt the need of organizing his own house parties; "Fresh n' fruit", "The Same", "Fuck Simile" where his first successful nights.

In 2004 he started togheter with Francesco Sperotto a.k.a. Kay Sand the studio project named Chronic Flakes; very quickly they gained a reputation among the italian senior producers such as Alex Neri, who released their works on the labels "Bustin loose" and "Tenax Recordings". In 2005, "Ministry of Sound Radio" wanted to talk with the duo about their productions, and Nic Fanciulli made them play at his party at Turnmills, London. Nowadays, beside his work as Chronic Flakes, he is working with Lucretio: there collaboration gave the birth to Mixworks's future hit: "Berlin Dub", the track on side A of the label's first release on the "Persistence E.P." His sound is elegant, fresh, deep and out of conventions,It is a minimal flavoured mixture of house and techno!!! This year, he had the vision that gave a shape to "Altavoz": a place for the development of the electronic music in Italy, where all the artists are also music producers and were he has shared the booth with artists such as Carl Craig.
KAY SAND: Best known as half of the duo Chronic Flakes, Kay Sand's rise is the result of a multi-form and constant progression of which Chronic Flakes it's just one of the uncountable pieces of the puzzle. Chronic Flakes has just been the turning point after ten years spent playing as drummer and singer first and later as producer. These are the reasons because ecletism soon became the trademark word of this rising artist.After 12 years characterized by deep experiences in punk..grunge ambients (Spyder Gonzales band), ages in which he played as drummers and then as singer with the band Grammophono (an instrumental band which focused his sound on house and deep-house sonorities), Kay met Alessandro Picone, best known as Alex Tribal.And the first seed of Chronic Flakes project found his place under the ground..."When i met Alex, i started wondering myself about what i really wanted from me, as artist, i mean. I started wondering myself how interact with him and how to relate myself to the project in order to make it work in the better way.I reconsidered all my musical background, comparing and integrating it with differents beats: techno, house, minimal and deep. It was really exciting opening my mind to new experiences and purposes, starting interacting with instruments and softwares. This thing, for a person like me, who has always loved to swim into music, playing with instruments, represented a brand new, incredible and rivitalizing experience!." In few words, it was a decisive meeting. This excursion into new horizons and new chances, gave to the duo the possibility to gain a lot of respect from the whole Italian underground scene. Firstly came the pop band “Planet Funk” and then the dj and sound engineer of the band, Alex Neri. Neither Ocean Trax's boss Paolo Martini didn't miss the opportunity to get in touch with the duo, firstly giving them the chance to release on his well respected label and then committing them a few remixes. After several performances in clubs alongside Alex, shows where Kay used to add to Alex’s sets that eclectic touch proper of him, playing synth or using a mic, now Kay is focusing all his efforts on his own live perfomance, focused mainly around the use of synths, electronic drummachine and softwares like Ableton. " It's a new challenge – says Kay - A new competition, a new way to relate myself to music: without any doubt, an electrifying challenge!
