Steve Cole
Basel | CH
Steve Cole – Shoot of the sound globe. “Essential, the sound cocktails should raise fruitful on the hotbed of the electro culture”, so the poetical formulated endeavor of the beat missioner – Steve Cole. When Steve Cole is announced, the crowds covet admission to see and hear his tunes. It is devotedly accepted, that Steve Cole offers them a diet of dubbing tech-house and minimal spiced with electro-tunes. He doses this dedicatedly without using a crowbar so that his sounds rains down on the dancing crowd.

Tagträumer²
Berlin | GER
Robert Stolt aka Tagträumer² is a music lover of special kind. Since he was six years old he learned to play different instruments and therefore continuously picked up new styles of music that ranges from classical through jazz to modern sounds. Robert’s listening to his large and still growing vinyl collection got him interested in making music himself. Looking at the various record-covers and experience other produced stuff, he often got into daydreaming about how it would be to let people share his dreams through his own music.

Nils Ohrmann
Berlin | GER
Nils Ohrman can look back on a long history of adventurous experiences and excellent co-operations, amongst them fruitful liaisons with Erich Lesowsky, Musikant Klick and others. After DJing for around a decade already, Nils started setting up his own events at Rosi’s – our neighbouring club – in 2004. Together with his good friend Musikant Klick he organised the legendary party series “Unsere Kleine Welt – UKW”. Other parties and clubnights in Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne followed. Thanks to countless guest musicians, Nils was able to suck so much inspiration from them – that producing his own tracks came up to the agenda. In 2009 he released the result of a co-operation with singer Sandy Köckeritz on “Le Funk Fatale” (HULA HOOP001-CHAISELON EP), produced by Ronald Christoph. Another release “Greensleeves” (HULA HOOP002-GREENSLEEVES EP) followed – as well as a larger international attention (up to the Ukraine).

Ronald Christoph
Berlin | GER
Ronald Christoph is a Berlin-based techno and house producer and has been actively working as a professional musician since the early 90s. During this time he has paid homage to every genre imaginable; classical, jazz, reggae, hip hop, electro, crossover, metal, r ‘n’ b, rock ‘n’ rock and finally house and techno. His unique talents as a producer are in constant demand. 2007 has already seen the great and good of the Berlin and international DJ community call upon his studio skills. To date, Ronald Christoph has played more than 500 concerts and club gigs. His sound is often described as having a certain dirtiness, which should be experienced first hand! His range lies between airy sweet, melodic house sets and harder, partly experimental peak time live techno performances. Ronald Christoph also believes in the value systems that form the foundations of the techno and house scenes; individual freedom, brotherly love, tolerance, open-mindedness and non-violence. He finds Europe’s current internal and foreign policy, the restriction of civil rights and the atrocious fight for oil and war against terrorism an abomination. Therefore his music can be seen as a prayer for freedom and understanding.

Brett Knacksen
Berlin | GER
By the end of the 90’s Brett set up a music studio called “The Industrial Elves” – together with his friend Charles Tone (Pentagonik | LPG). Soon he starts experimenting with sound and effects different from the mainstream. His musical experiments resulted in a first CD release on “Transition Music” in 2002. Pushed by challenge he founded a first musical co-operation with his friend Dana in 2003 called “Engel & Ruhm”. After some expeditions to unexplored musical terrain he decided to set up his own netlabel called “Kurzarbeit” in 2007, where he released a lot of stuff produced during the past years. Together with Irie Electric he began another co-operation called “Apollo Slice” in summer 2008. Serious booking offers start to push his work, further releases followed – f.e. on Circuits Rec, Schwarzweiss Musik, Fukhaus Musik and others. Parallel to music production, DJing, label work and his live projects he intensified his activities for the electronic dance music radio “Sonett77″ over the last years – where he has a major influence today.
