:: “Authenticity is everything - without it everything would appear to be nothing more than a hollow shell” -Stephan Bodzin.
As the son of an experimental musician his career in the music industry was set from an early age. And it was only a matter of time before Stephan would fall in love with electronic music. Composing music for several prestigious European theaters was the first successful platform for his music.
His mind-blowing talent was soondiscovered and producers such as Oliver Huntemann, Thomas Schumacher and Marc Romboy queued up to work with Stephan. Due to the quality of his impressive music he has reached the top of the international techno scene. Most recently he has remixed songs for well-known bands such as Depeche Mode, Booka Shade and The Knife. His releases can be found on labels such as Get Physical, Datapunk, Gigolo, Systematic and Giant Wheel. His solos productions have done nothing but raise his worldwide profile even more and he now has the freedom of an individual artist with a worldwide audience.
Stephan’s music is as polarizing as he is, both as DJ and live artist. But there’s one statement that holds true for all of his productions: they are certainly of the highest ‘authenticity’.

:: Music is the light of their lives! Wighnomy Brothers are Robag Wruhme and Monkey Maffia. The two, tone-artists junkies Gabor Schablitzki (alias Robag Wruhme) and Soeren Bodner (alias Monkey Maffia), react to and revolve around the verbal confrontation. Both tap into you, starting stealthily as a mere bud in your soul, which eventually conquers your musical devotion. The always multifaceted style of the WB’s has been further developed through club experience, production, and still more flavour expansion efforts. This all brings a functional kick with the ever-present view to the thoroughly rocked dance floor.
Originally, they were native to deep and traditional house together with Latin, vocal, and Nujazz flavouring. The musical spectrum lying between advanced in the direction of “raving with reason”. Therefore, stirring, intelligent, technotronic, wide ranging dance music of incalculable worth to body and soul welcomes you.
Everything out of their speakers goes straight to the bones, bringing your blood to a boil whether minimal, bounce, shuffling, break, or jazzed tracks. Both gentlemen are solo artists: Robag Wruhme (also as producer) and Monkey Maffia, allowing both gentlemen the liberty to give and receive unique inspirations. This serves the Wighnomy Brothers the benefit of bringing fresh impressions to the table when collaborating. Monkey-Soeren is also the owner of the Fatplastics recordstore in Jena: quite the ideal refuge and communications platform.

:: Kollektiv Turmstrasse is a project by Christian Hilscher and Nico Plagemann. It all started in 1999, when Christian Hilscher and Nico Plagemann from L¸beck/Hamburg shared an apartment together. Soon they realised, they also shared a deep passion for electronic music. Influenced by the likes of Basic Channel, the duo went about exploring and experimenting with sounds and styles. Before long, they fell in love with the burgeoning online audio scene and the idealism it represented (and continues to represent). The online audio scene was soon to become a major platform for Kollektiv Turmstrasse.
2004 marked a turning point in the history of KTS. No-response.org, an online label for free electronic music, was formed, providing a permanent home for KTS. The following years were spent honing a distinctive sound and forging new plans and ventures.
In 2006, Musik Gewinnt Freunde came to life. Since then, KTS has followed with numerous releases on Ostwind Records, Connaisseur Records and of course...Musik Gewinnt Freunde.

:: The talented and very young Massimo Di Lena was born in Naples in 1988. He is a music lover from a very young age. At the age of 12 he discovers electronic music and Plastikman’s productions (Richie Hawtin). At the age of 14 he began mixing hip-hop, though, the passion for this kind of music ended quickly, whereas his interest for the techno increases. He decides then to buy two turntables and to invest his money in “vinyls” struggling to get a spot at friends’ parties or small events. He began producing and exploring with different sounds at the age of 16 and immediately began to create new wave music.
Massi DL, as he is known by today, was mistakenly contacted by the English lable Multivitamins; fortunately that was his opportunity to propose his tracks to the label. The label, positively impressed, has released 2 of his tracks, Multivitamins 04 and 05.
Today, this tiny Neapolitan talent, has signed with other labels like Safari Electronique, Leftroom, Frankie Rec. and he is going to surprise us even more in the future..stay tuned!

:: Born in 1985, Maxime Dangles discovered the night life around 15 years old. He then fell in love with electronic music. Unlike many young Djs, he is not satisfied in only knowing the mixing techniques. He is hungry to learn beyond that into the technological world.
In 2004, for the first time, he became a Resident Dj at the 'Valentinoise' night club. And soon after that he began to produce his own creations.
Many weekends spent on Montpellier at La Villa Rouge, La Dune and Le Bar Live, has been of a considerable importance upon his music.
Passionate, ambitious but over all humble and reserved he was pushed by his family to go foward and release his work through Kompakt.
His creations soon became tracks of the month in August 2006.
The beginning of a great story? Only the future will tell, but it's already a beautiful human adventure!
