Biography
What would you like to know? Well, there are a couple of obligatory dj bio mentions. Even a few I canlive with ! So yes, he began throwing the Alpha nights in Ghent back in 2011 with his buddy Brominbecause they were not necessarily into what was happening at the moment, so they started somethingthemselves (gotta be startin' somethin'!). And that is precisely what a good dj bio should have. Not acertain je ne sais quoi, because I know exactly quoi: a hint of doin' ya own thang.
Originally a UK garage night, they have gradually evolved into a broad techno and house refuge for
diggers and dames alike. And yes, genres he used to play as a young'un, barely reaching above thedecks, don't find their way to his record bag as swiftly as before, so instead of teenage flirtations withtribal and ghetto tech, these days he rather floats effortlessly from one decade to another as he doesfrom one city to the next.
Jules' soul is already all over the place, all-absorbing, and his body is quickly following suit. Be it bydelighting most of Europe's major cities' party scenes and well-received stints festivals like
Dimensions or Tomorrowland, or by curating Alpha's own stage at WeCanDance or playing concierge
at Kerk Gent.
Slow/fast/soft/hard, it all depends on the mood. But he's no moody man. He's got a perpetual smile
seemingly cemented on his face instead. Doesn't that sound exactly like the kind of capable hands you
would want to guide you deep into that gentle night?

JENSEN(We Play House Recordings, Taxi Tanzbar, BE)

Biography
Few decknicians in Belgium combine great technical skills with a genuine passion for different typesof music. One man surely does: Jensen. The last fifteen years this man has stepped up to become aleading player in the field, as host and entrepreneur of several party concepts but foremost as deejay.
Today, with a rapidly evolving electronic music scene, Jensen is still regarded as one of the country's
most innovative artists. Faut le faire.
Originally coming from a little village at the coast Jensen grew up with a severe passion for hip-hop.
Absorbing the burgeoning sounds of American rap he relocated to Ghent where he met the city's richnight life scene. There his obsession for music moved to sounds with a 4/4 beat. It was love at first
listen. Jensen started to collect and spin records, heavily influenced by house legends like Larry Levan,
Ron Hardy and Mr. Fingers. Since then he encountered a lifelong need to build up a severe vinyl
collection. It wasn't long before Jensen started to collaborate with like-minded souls. First he teamed
up with Bugsy for a long-lasting partnership. Their spinning sessions on four decks became legendary
at the What's Cookin' soirees, a house concept both artists had set up together with JeanJack. As aresult Jensen was asked to take up a residency at Decadance. This event not only marked the
beginning of a ten year stay at Ghent's most notorious venue, it also established his position as one of
the fastest rising artists in the scene. Since then Jensen fascinated audiences as a host and deejay ofseveral exquisite house gatherings in the city. Today Jensen is active on various fronts. He is cohosting the We Play House parties in Charlatan, alongside label boss Red D and resident dj at Taxi
Tanzbar. Whether he is playing in the backyard of a friend's house or in a club for hundreds of greedy
dancers, Jensen's sets are always invariably exhilarating and extraordinarily varied. Touched by every
piece of music, from funk and soul to house and techno, the man's record bag holds decades of dancemusic. It makes Jensen unique as a deejay and a person.

Biography
Watch your head because the roof will come off !
Lefto Early Bird (formerly ‘Lefto’) and Red D are two household names in Belgium in their respective
urban and house scenes. However, Lefto Early Bird and Red D are first and foremost music lovers whojust happen to know a thing or two about sharing their music with a crowd and who do not really
believe in sticking to styles or scenes. Years of mutual musical respect finally led them to hit the decks
at Ghent’s infamous Charlatan club for a Thursday night all night long back-to-back session in front ofa capacity crowd. Lefto Early Bird playing house & more, Red D playing hip hop & more, but most of
all two DJ’s selecting tracks out of the full spectrum of underground dance music new and old andhaving a major blast doing so. The two are now available for festival bookings during Spring/Summer
2023, solo or in a back to back configuration, preferably for an XXL set or even an all-nighter. All theyneed is a dark and cosy place, a solid sound system and a crowd that is up for good music ..
LEFTO EARLY BIRD

“You can’t sleep on Lefto! He’s always on it...” - Gilles Peterson (BBC 6 Music, Brownswood)“There are few moments as fun as Lefto firing off all cylinders...” - Boiler Room“Your favourite dj’s favourite dj” - Fact! Mag

proven to be one of the most important tastemakers the old continent has to offer. Consistently aheadof your average early adopters, he doesn’t wait for the next thing, he seeks it out. No wonder he isaffiliated to international labels such as Brownswood Recordings, Serato,101 Apparel, Boiler Room,BBE, Ninja Tune, R&S, Blue Note, Tru Thoughts, New Los Angeles and ! K7 Records.
RED D
Red D is considered to be one of the leading figures in Belgium’s (underground) music community.
With a vast musical knowledge that spans past, present and future Red D is spreading his gospel at all
major Belgian clubs and festivals like Ampere, Fuse, Paradise City, WeCanDance and is just as readilycrossing borders to go and play at Panorama Bar in Berlin, Sugarfactory & Claire in Amsterdam,
Corsica Studios in London and many many more.
When Red D is not out and about playing music or digging for records he is lovingly running his label
We Play House Recordings. Over the 10 years that Red D has been leading the label it has become anoutlet for the music of such luminaries like San Soda, Russ Gabriel, Locked Groove, Metrobox, Reggie
Dokes, Deetron, Kai Alcé and also FCL - the studio collaboration between Red D and his lifelong friend
San Soda.
In recent years Red D has also focused on his own music production with two E.P.’s on legendary UK

RED D/RED D feat. LADY
LINN and/or GUSTAPH(We Play House Recordings, BE)
Biography

Red D
A general nightlife instigator since 1991 is how Red D likes to describe himself. Always on the move,always looking for that next record and always ready to rock any party. At the heart of Red D’scontinued zest for life and music lies a wealth of inspiration: from the people and sounds of his
favourite city Detroit to his upbringing in the legendary Belgian club scene of the 90’s, from digging
and discovering vinyl old and new to teaching his DJ classes in Belgian art school.
Red D firmly believes that the knowledge from the past feeds the future. Testament to that are hislabels We Play House Recordings, Red Basics and Club Belgique on which he releases music he likes,
period. Taking in more and more studio time of his own in recent years his own discography is also
growing ever stronger, with the same renegade trendless approach he applies to his DJ’ing.
One allnighter after another, solo or next to revered tastemakers and talents like Lefto, Lady Linn, San
Soda, Kerri Chandler, etc, from clubs to festivals, in Belgium and abroad: Red D delivers passion, lust
and a profound knowledge of music and the dancefloor in every beat he drops. To quote his friend andlegend Kerri Chandler: Red D always plays the right record at the right time.

Red D feat. Lady Linn and/or Gustaph
We Play House Recordings boss and one half of house luminaries FCL Red D has been teaming up with
Belgian leading vocalist Lady Linn for almost 20 years now. Lady Linn is the lead vocalist of ‘Lady
Linn and her Magnificent Seven’, a live jazz & more band that has been causing a stir for years
throughout Belgium, Netherlands, France and beyond. In 2010 & 2011 Lady Linn was voted best female
singer in Belgium and has become one of the leading ladies in the Belgian music world. She discovereda love for house music when she met Red D for what was supposed to be a one-off gig for the Ghentbased ‘Rendez-Fou’ concept in 2004. Since then they have come a long way, both rising to the top of
their respected game and conquering stage after stage on parties and festivals like Tomorrowland, 10
Days Off, Pukkelpop, Feest In Het Park, Laundry Day, etc and spending summer after summer in Ibiza
spicing up Defected Records parties. Red D featuring Lady Linn are your fail proof bet for a night outof your home and out of your head.
Their mix of instrumental tracks with live vocals never ceases to create wonder and mayhem on thedancefloor with a show in which musicality and improvisation go hand in hand. From mash-ups ofwell-known vocals with unknown tracks to killer disco edits via underground house tracks to absolutedance classics, it’s simply that massive party everybody has been waiting for. For 2023 Lady Linn and
Red D are cooking up more new and old music for you, including a serious dose of disco and boogie
classics & edits and will be hitting the studio for some more original material. It’s all about rocking theparty with absolute top notch quality dance music.
Gustaph is one of the lead singers of house music legends Hercules & Love Affair and one of the mostgifted Belgian singers around. A producer and songwriter in his own right, it took a chance meetingwith Andy Butler of Hercules & Love to rise into house music prominence. That chance meeting camein the form of an improvised gig with Red D feat. Lady Linn at a party in Ghent, one of the many
connections between Gustaph, Lady Linn and Red D. Another connection is the fact that Lady Linn
and Gustaph are music school co-alumni. Add to that the fact that Gustaph has provided backing
vocals on FCL’s smash hit ‘It’s You’ and it’s pretty easy to see that teaming up Gustaph with Red D
feat. Lady Linn can only lead to some major on stage magic.

CLUB BELGIQUE
C'est chique, c'est fantastiqueLet's Go Out !
"From disco to disco, finding your way through the night. Is that a sky tracer? It should be here
somewhere. Who’s driving? Look at that line at the door! Please park your car over there. Disco nights.
What’s that track? Laser lights light the way. Let’s go to the next club. Did anyone buy a tape?"
The Story
Back when there were no boundaries or subgenres there were just clubs and DJ’s spinning whatever
they and their dancers fancied. The internet was still hidden somewhere in the minds of some nutty
professors, Specialist websites and the hype machine were a distant dream (or nightmare) and clubmusic was the playground of a few record shops, clubs, some DJ’s and their dancers, to be consumedon the dance floor or through coveted tapes recorded by those same DJ’s at those same clubs. Things
were simple, exciting and pretty much evolved on their own without press or hype machines meddlingin.
Red D was listening to those tapes and pretty soon went to those clubs (when his parents were on
holiday that is) and later on San Soda met Red D and immersed himself fully into electronic music,
which inevitably led him to discover Belgium’s long and rich club music heritage.
At Club Belgique San Soda is Nick Berlin and Red D is Max Erotic. They will guide you through thenight and bring you the Belgian sound. The sound that was, the sound that is and the sound that will
always be. And they will do so in hand-picked clubs and spaces that can really take you back to whenthe magic happened. That dark, sexy and unique vibe that made the Belgian club scene pretty muchthe spitting image of the country itself: rather strange but mostly very interesting.

ARIL BRIKHA live
(Art of Vengeance, Transmat, Peacefrog, Mule Musiq, SE)

Biography
In 1998 Aril Brikha reacquainted the world with his deep techno soul, as his record Groove La Chordcrossed generic boundaries. Is it techno? Is it house? Is it deep house? It's everything and nothing.
Groove La Chord is simply timeless. No one was more surprised about the success of Groove La Chord
than Brikha himself - after all, he'd originally presented it on his demo as a potential B-side. Two years
after he recorded Groove La Chord, Brikha heard it in a club for the first time - Derrick May pulled itout in Chicago club. Aril then realised what made it a good track.
As a cultural exile in Sweden, Aril Brikha has never been one to conform. Born in Iran with Assyrian
ancestry, Brikha emigrated to the Scandinavian country at three. Brikha demonstrated his musicality
early - with his parents nurturing his talent. At seven, Aril was given a keyboard and his father who
taught him how to play. Before long, Aril was picking up notes by ear. In his early teens he developed
an interest in electronic music acts - such as Depeche Mode, Front 242 and Jean Michel Jarre. Brikha
obtained an Atari and started to learn how to use a sequencer and, after initially emulating the musicof others, he began composing his own at 16. Friends who heard his material told him it was 'Detroit
techno'. Brikha had no idea what that was - and so they played him records by Robert Hood andBerlin's Basic Channel. At a time when the Swedish techno sound was starting to be identified withminimal, loop-based 'DJ tools', Brikha was creating cerebral, emotional and spiritual electronic music.
No one wanted to listen. Brikha disseminated his earliest material on Swedish imprints - Dunkla,
Plump, and Placktown - but realizing that his music wasn't what the local labels were seeking, helooked for fresh outlets.
He obtained the addresses of three independent companies - among them Derrick May's Transmat
Records - and posted out demos. As it happened, Transmat contacted Brikha and, as a consequence,
his Art Of Vengeance EP (with Groove La Chord) was issued on its sister label, Fragile, in 1998. A year
on, Aril followed it up with the LP Deeparture In Time, a collection of evocative grooves - like theintricate Embrace, transcendent Otill and the electro-funk Setting Sun - gathered over a six year
period and laid down with just one keyboard, a drum machine and an Atari. It drew exultant reviews.
Since forging an alliance with Transmat, Brikha, celebrated as the new star of deep techno, has toured
solidly with his live show, playing everywhere from the inaugural DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music
Festival) to clubs like London's Fabric and Tokyo’s Air and Yellow.
With a large gap in releases Brikha re-emerged from a production hiatus with a few select releases onsome of Europe's most forward thinking and popular electronic labels showcasing the width andbreadth of his production style; On Belgium's historic Music Man label Aril's sound progressed with amore in your face, harder production but still maintaining that classic Detroit sound. On Germany's
trendsetting minimal Kompakt Brikha's 'Winter EP' took yet another turn with two tracks that weredestined for the bigger clubs and making them massive peak time performers. And finally on highly
desirable German imprint Poker Flat this time Brikha was again destined to find a new wider audience
with the upfront, plastic percussion and gnarly synths - Maximal sounds and Minimal production.
Fast forward to summer 2007 and the long-time awaited releases on Peacefrog bring both Brikha andPeacefrog back to where they began with two 12” and then a full length album showcasing Aril’s
classic sound of Detroit techno/house with elements of his recent productions. With haunting strings,
filtered chords and synth pads adorning the hypnotic beats, Ex Machina transcends dance music’s
ever multiplying genre’s and brings back the old feeling of making us just want to dance.
After yet another production hiatus, Brikha, now residing in Berlin, made the decision in early 2010 to
finally set up a label of his own. The idea and name for it was actually conceived prior to the Transmat
release but when that happened, the name of the planned label, Art of Vengeance was used as the titleof the Fragile EP. The first release celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Aril’s first album that cameout on Transmat, Deeparture in Time. The album was revisited in collaboration with Jesper Dahlbäck
who remastered all the tracks. During the digging in old DAT-tapes, old and unreleased tracks were
found. These tracks were put on an additional CD with other rare tracks that came out as b-sides or on
the US version of Deeparture in Time. Other releases on the label include Aril Brikha EPs Palma,
Forever Frost, Definition of D, the Aril Brikha remix of Sailor & I’s Tough Love and Christian Vance’s
Uneasy Me.
A string of releases followed over the next few years: remixes Aril did for Connaisseur (B Kollektiv
Turmstrasse - Uneins), Truesoul (Joel Mull - Sensory), Wolfskuil (Arjuna Schiks - Hua Hun), Klopfgeist(Sigward - Playa), EevoNext (Estroe - Sustainable Illusion) and Crosstown Rebels (Francesa Lombardo- Perseidi), next to his track “Zon” on Loveland recordings and the EP Illuminate with Sebastian
Mullaert on Mule Musiq.
A very particular one was the Aril Brikha, Deep'a & Biri - Hope EP, which came out on Black Crow in
2014. Very symbolically, Tel Aviv's Deep'a & Biri and Iran-born producer Aril Brikha united for a 12"
from which proceeds were donated to an Israel/Palestine peace projects organization.
More recently, Aril started acquiring new hardware and at the same time moved his old synths from
Stockholm to Berlin. This lead to a new breeze and surge in inspiration, which will allow a big batch of
tracks and projects. An - ambient-leaning - LP, "Dance Of A Trillion Stars" and the dance floorfocussed full-length “Prisma” came out in 2020, both on Mule Musiq. The impatient fan can yet
discover his latest music during his live sets !

The artist requires a good quality DJ-mixer with 3 EQ and 2 AUX/Line in (he can use the mixer at theclub as long as he can reach it from where he has the equipment, otherwise a separate mixer,
connected directly to the sound system, is needed - preferably not an old model Pioneer mixer), 2 x 1
metre free space in the booth where the Artist can set up without having to disturb the ongoing
performance of another artist, a laptop stand (Aril is bringing a MacBook Pro Retina, a Livid CodeController, a Novation Launchpad Controller, a Roland TR8 Drum Machine and a Native Instrument
Audio 6 audio interface) ; a power strip with minimum 3 free sockets for Euro plugs ; 2 high power
undistorted monitor loudspeakers at equal distance from where the artist will perform, powered by anamplifier with an adjustable level control and within easy reach of the Artist, a first class sound andlight system, and the presence of a qualified sound engineer at all times.
The Artist requires 15-20 minutes for set-up and line-check, just before the start of his set.
Attention: for his live set, the Artist requires additional headroom in order to obtain the same volume
as a DJ set, as the live is more dynamic. All these are necessary to guarantee a good sound.
Important: NO limiting ! Turn off limiters and compressors. The Artist is a professional producer. If
there are limitations on the volume in the venue, advise before the set and the Artist will follow the
instructions. But heavy limiting and compressing will lead to an unprofessional sound and sidechain
effects. This has massive influence on the quality of the Artist’s performance.

CARLOS NILMMNS(Cod3 QR, Planet E, Ornaments, TRAX, Circus Company, UK)

Biography

Respected artist & DJ from Glasgow. Delivering funky Detroit techno and pumping Chicago house.
Notable releases ranging from house, techno, jazz and soul are found on classic labels like Planet E
Communications, Cod3 QR, TraxRecords, Cocoon, Dopewax, Ornaments, KMS Records.
Carlos Nilmmns is the alias of Ross McMillan, A highly respected UK producer and DJ now based in

also has many notable releases on classic electronic labels like Cod3 QR, Cocoon, Trax Records, KMS,
Planet-e Communications, Dopewax and Skylax. Ross has dedicated his life to electronic music since
the late 90s when he began amassing a huge music collection. During this time he met fellow Scottish
artist Vince Watson (Planet E, Cocoon) who taught the basics around the studio. Since the 90s Ross
has held 2 DJ residencies, performed in orchestras, funk bands, and indie bands. Mixed with belt-drive
turntable before making the jump to Technics, had a few underground records that soon gained wider
attention attracting artists from the Glasgow music scene including Harri and Domenic Cappello(Subculture/Sub club), Graham Wilson (Solab/Seventh Sign Recordings), Ian Elgey and Derek Reaper.
Glasgow's competitive scene can be harsh, the community is brutally honest, many artists come and go
but many do absorb and learn from the art of DJing. On how great music translates on a dance floor
and for Ross that was by attending the Sub club on a weekly basis for ten-plus years. This inspiration
worked and soon more refined records began to be released at an alarming pace. The first notablerelease was the alias Solab with Graham Wilson which featured a remix by artist Alex Smoke (Soma)
selling thousands. Soon the records became more and more popular with new solo projects leading to
invitations from clubs, festivals, and labels all around the world marking the true beginning of theCarlos Nilmmns alias.

what they want but what they least expect" still rings true today as it did back in the day somethingthat DJs like Laurent Garnier admire and support. Today Carlos Nilmmns is a name that often pops up

DARKROW(Datagroove, Deeperfect, Witty Tunes, ES)

Biography
Darkrow is considered one of the essential figures to understand the evolution and the future oftechno and tech-house in northern Spain. From his native Compostela to his current residence inValladolid, he has been immersed for more than 15 years, as a DJ and producer, in this electronic style
as clubby as underground. His innumerable residencies, sets and publications, as well as his particular
history in the mythical Aquasella festival, where he has played ten consecutive years, endorse his
trajectory and point to his great national and international projection.
This confessed lover of animals and addict to new technologies began very young in the world of hiphop, which allowed him to acquire very early a smooth technique that can be enjoyed in his vibrant,
elegant and forceful sets. His skills at the decks and his innate musical taste was soon corroborated byresidencies and habitual sessions in venues as emblematic as Beta, Zeus and Octopus Club.
Since his beginnings, Darkrow has evolved from different variants of techno, tech-house andunderground house to a unique and untransferable sound, 100% groove. His sound is rhythmic anddark with a major and powerful amount of freshness. He is a master in the use of loops and effects,
which brings added value to his sets, controlling the sound at all times with the seriousness andprofessionalism that characterizes him.
As a producer he published his first release when he had barely reached the adult age and has
achieved, through a wise and irresistible mix of the most hypnotic bases of techno and the essence ofhouse, to assemble authentic hits – top sales on major international labels, that have been supported
by artists such as Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Luciano, Dubfire, Umek, Roger Sanchez, Mark Knight,
Dave Clarke, Paco Osuna, Cristian Varela, Kaiserdisco, Slam, Ben Sims, Stacey Pullen, Marko Nastic,
Karotte, Uto Karem, Pleasurekraft or Stefano Noferini, among others.
After commanding Standbite with Fátima Hajji, Darkrow launched in 2010 his own record label:
Datagroove Music. Five years later, and after more than 80 releases in the market, Datagroove
received a nomination as "Best Record Label" at the Vicious Music Awards 2015. His unstoppable track
as a producer has led him to publish so far more than 25 releases in vinyl format and to work withprestigious labels like Toolroom, Kraftek Music, ElRow Music, Deeperfect, Pornographic, Transmit
Recordings, Unity Records, Sphera, Sk Supreme, Orion Muzik, Be One, Kinetika, Patent Skillz, La Pera,
Prospect, Expectancy, Innocent Music and Upfront Reconds, among many others. His collaborations
include artists such as Wehbba, A.Paul, David Herrero, Raúl Mezcolanza, Aitor Ronda, Ronan Portela,
Miguel Bastida, Okabi, Adoo, Giuseppe Rizzuto, Johann Smog, etc.

FABRICE LIG aka SOUL DESIGNER
live/dj (Elypsia, Planet E, Systematic, F.Comm., BE)
Biography
Fabrice Lig has melody running through his veins. He discovered electronic music as a teenager in
Ghent and has never looked back ever since. His tracks, rooted in the forward-thinking electronic
music from Detroit, have their own way of making you move, through the funky synth lines or theflowing grooves.
From his current home in Charleroi (Belgium), Fabrice continues to make futuristic, emotional andsoulful dance music. He has been a driving force in underground house and techno since the early’90s, when Elypsia Records helped launch his discographic career through his Bug Orchestra alias,
releasing on the scene’s finest labels and playing DJ sets at many of the most prestigious clubs.
Fabrice has become known for his unique creative use of Roland’s SH101 analogue synth. With 30
years of teaching himself and perfecting himself production processes and harmonies, his gift for ahook and special dancefloor moment is unmatched. His love for Detroit music runs deep, and it’sreciprocated by those who know. Mike Banks, founding member of Underground Resistance picked
him up in 1998 for a remix of E-Dancer’s “Banjo” on KMS Records, and the rest is history.
A look through the imprints Fabrice has released on since 1992 is like reading a history of the finest
melodic techno: MS (Kevin Saunderson), Planet-E (Carl Craig), Submerge, Third Ear, 7th City Records(Dan Bell), F-Communications (Laurent Garnier) , Versatile, Classic, Compost, Subject Detroit, Motech,Elypsia, Raygun, Playhouse Records, Kanzleramt (Heiko Laux), Clone, Trapez Ltd and so on. The list of
his collaborators is equally impressive: KiNK, Titonton Duvante and Ken Ishii to name a few.
Though Fabrice has taken sporadic breaks during his long and pioneering journey, today he is making
some of his most essential music ever. Albums like My 4 Stars, Genesis Of A Deep Sound and Galactic
Soul Odyssey show how good he is at creating a story with his music, talent which has led to plaudits
from Wolgang Flür of Kraftwerk, who Lig remixed in 2019, and Jean-Michel Jarre, who wrote that
Fabrice “is following his own line, without caring about trends, and that's the path an artist should
follow. It is not post Detroit, it's an emotion.”
Whether through his acclaimed discography, or through his boundary-pushing DJ, hybrid and live
sets, Fabrice is translating a whole career of ingenious musical innovation into vital, singular sounds
for the dancefloor and shows no sign of slowing down.
Fabrice’s breath-taking album “The Mental Bandwidth”, featuring collaborations with Ann
Saunderson and ex-Kraftwerk Wolfgang Flür, came out on Elypsia Records this year.

released. He followed that a year later with further recognition when the video for the single "EXTRA"(directed by Koji Morimoto, animator of the worldwide hit cartoon "AKIRA") won MTV's "Dance Videoof the Year".
Since then, Ken has been regarded internationally as a top pioneer of Japanese techno and world-classact rocking crowds around the globe with his barnstorming electronic sound. In 1998, he produced theofficial theme song for the winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan which was played in more than 140
countries around the world. In 2000, Ken made the cover of Newsweek magazine for a majorinterview, hailing him as the symbol of Japan's dynamic new culture, which was seen as someachievement for a dance/electronic music artist.
When his techno is not stripping the paint from walls, Ken also produces music for films, such as thetheme song and soundtrack for the monster Japanese hit "Whiteout" in 2000, for which he wasnominated for a Japan Academy Film Prize. His reach even extends to video games. Rez, the game Kencontributed his exclusive tracks to, has become a cult hit. In 2005, he had the honour of being asked toorganise the music and design an exclusive 12.2 surround sound system for the Seto-Nippon Pavilion,
for the Japanese Government, at World Expo in Aichi.

old-school artist getting better and becoming more relevant with each passing year after 19 in themusic business. In February of that year, Ken started a brand new project, Ken Ishii Presents
Metropolitan Harmonic Formulas, and released its sublime debut album, 'MUSIC FOR DAYDREAMS.'

Netflix’s anime series, “Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune” (2023) and producing original music for ahighly acclaimed VR game “C-Smash VRS” (2023-2024 / PlayStation VR2 / MetaQuest), along withstarting series of a ‘noh & techno’ collaboration performance, TECHNOH LAB., with Manjiro Tatsumi,
a noh actor and a Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Heritage of Japan.
Some people might know that Ken’s another passion is craft beer. He finally made his dream cometrue - he now co-brews series of his own craft beer, “KIKK-IPA”, with RISE & WIN Brewing Co. basedin Tokushima Pref. in Japan. Having brewed 5 different types of IPAs so far, Ken is more than happy
that two of them won silver prizes on an international beer competition, INTERNATIONAL BEER CUP
2022 and 2023.
Now back in techno, Ken is more enthusiastic making music than ever. EPs on various labels and his
own Bandcamp exclusive releases, collaborations with Cristian Varela, Co-Fusion, Hiroyuki Arakawa
and Dosem, and countless remixes have been made within the last couple of years. Being busy with
touring again after the pandemic as well, he plays in Japan and Asia, Europe and North America on a

ORLANDO VOORN(Nightvision Records, NL/USA)

Biography
Orlando Voorn is one of the first Dutch techno producers/musicians to establish a vital connection
between Detroit and Amsterdam in the early 90ʼs. Orlando has long been recognized as one of theNetherlands most original and ingenious techno producers in the world of electronic dance music.
Voorn began DJing at the early age of 12 years old and later went on to win his first scratchcompetition at Amsterdam “Club Flora Palace”. Amazingly Voorn did this by borrowing records fromhis competitor. After winning that competition he continued to practice every day and was discoveredby a Dutch Radio host named “Robin Albers” who was in charge of the Dutch DMC DJ Championship1986. Surprisingly Voorn placed 1st in the Dutch competitions 1986 & 1987 for Holland which placed
him in the world championships of DMC twice in the United Kingdom where he came in 3rd place in
86 and 5th place in 87, spinning with his own characteristic blend of hip-hop, and electro music.
Towards the end of the eighties he acquired his first sequencer and turned his hand to producing his
productions, his first project was under the alias “Fixomatic” - “Hurt em Bad” the track was an oldschool hip hop record and sold very well for that period of time. Voorn has a great vision for
combining sounds, rhythms and key structures. When you look at Voorn’s past it mainly consists of 2
important factors. He started playing drums at an early age of 9 years old and having professional
drumming lessons although he could not comprehend reading notes his drum teacher said to his
parents “Orlando doesnʼt need to read notes”. He was indeed a natural and could play everything thatwas shown to him once.
Later on, Voorn produced a couple of tracks based on sampling music; he met with Steve Clisby from a
successful band called the “American Gypsies” in the early 80ʼs. Clisby was intrigued by the way
Voorn put together a production based upon samples; when an agreement was established Voorn
worked together with Clisby who would teach Orlando chord structures. This was a major step for
Orlando as it changed his view on productions tremendously. As he no longer needed to use only
samples but he could, in fact, create a track/composition from playing it all with keys, bass lines,
pianos etc. Subsequently, Voorn made a name for himself under the alias “Frequency” with a classic
label known as Lower East Side Records with titles such as “Where is Your Evidence” “Kiss the Sky”
and “Industrial Metal”. As a result of these tracks, Voorn was introduced to Techno pioneer Juan
Atkins and they later started to collaborate & produce tracks together at Voornʼs home studio where
he remixed “Industrial Metalʼ while Juan tweaked the sounds to make them come out of the speakers alittle more pulsating. Atkins & Voorn worked extraordinarily well together and Juan taught Orlando
how to merge the sounds as well as how to change the standards of conventional techno productions.
Soon after they would join forces and produce the well-known track called “Game One” which becamea classic record on Atkinʼs label “Metroplex” and later it reprised on Voornʼs imprint “Nightvision”
double CD Compilation 1996. In that same time span Voorn had met Blake Baxter and collaborated forthe infamous ESP Records and under the alias “The Ghetto Brothers” they made 2 EPs with timelessclassics as “Ghetto Disco” and” Ghetto Blues”. Voorn also did recordings for a legendary Detroit
techno and house label “KMS” an imprint of Kevin Saunderson using yet another alias known as “Fix”
where he created a dance floor destroyer track called “Flash” which remains in many DJʼs crates atthis moment. “Flash” became a hit in the Detroit clubs first before the record had broken out
internationally. Voorn has a well-known history of working with Detroitʼs techno originators
including Derrick Mayʼs imprint “Fragile” under yet another alias “Complex” entitled “Midi Merge”.
During the pandemic Orlando proved to be resilient and even more productive than ever before, withhigh standard. In 2021 he released on Kompakt, Axis, Burek and Artifact, to name just a few.

DEEP’ART
Electronic Music Artist Agency

Deep'art is an electronic music artist agency which was founded by Fred DG in 2003. The agency isbased in Belgium and operates worldwide. The agency's name was inspired upon the title of Aril
Brikha's historical album 'Deeparture in Time'.
Fred got involved in the scene while working at R&S Records, touring with Shanks and Ken Ishii,
meeting up with Derrick May, Juan Atkins, .. That was back in '96. The same year, Fred started Ghent's
student radio Urgent.fm and threw his first electronic music party at Vooruit in Ghent, with over 1200
people attending. After finishing the Law studies at Ghent University, he became booking manager atworld renowned Fuse club (1998-2001) where he regularly invited artists such as Dave Clarke, Laurent
Garnier, Josh Wink, Richie Hawtin, Kevin Saunderson, DJ Hell, Monika Kruse, Stacey Pullen, Jeff
Mills, Green Velvet, Luke Slater, Bob Sinclar, Basement Jaxx, Derrick May, to name but a little few.
After, he switched to the agency business side of things working with Derrick May, Stacey Pullen,
Kevin Saunderson, Monika Kruse, Deetron, Jack de Marseille, Aril Brikha, .. (2001-2003), while alsoorganizing parties at the infamous Culture Club in Ghent.
In 2003 he started Deep'art in order to concentrate on a limited amount of quality artists, including
Kevin Saunderson, Deetron, Aril Brikha, Agent Orange, .. More talented artists joined soon: Chris
Finke, Fabrice Lig, Becka, Leandro Gamez,.. and shortly after also old friends Jack de Marseille,
Frederik and Kenny Larkin.
2005 saw the birth of sister agency 5Seasons, representing artists such as Raoul Belmans, Fred Nasen,
TiNo, Ortin Cam,.. Early 2007, 5Seasons merged with Deep'art to become an exclusive agency
representing an inspiring variety of techno and house artists.
The roster developed itself some further every year since. From 2011 on, Deep'art started to handle
more and more label stages and label nights in close collaboration with brands such as We Play House
Recordings, Motech and Token Records.
In 2018, Deep’art decided to reshuffle the roster slightly, making it two coherent sections. The one
including the pick of the litter of the Belgian house scene, the other one a fine selection of techno andtechhouse talents.
Thank you for being a part of Deep’art’s wonderful story !
