Gorge aka Pit Waldmann finds his deepest roots and home base in the German metropolitan Mannheim where the legendary techno festival “Time Warp” and one of Germany’s leading clubs, the “Loft” are based. These surrounding venues are maybe one of the reasons why the musical passion of Gorge leads to the foundation of the first label imprint called “Amused Records” back in 2004 where his partners Nick Curly and Wolfgang Wahl are also actively involved. A very short period of time later a second platform named “Amused8Bit” with releases of the likes Johnny D, Ray Okpara and SIS already follows. In 2007 the stylistic tendencies of the two labels become more and more different so that “8 Bit Records” gets a relaunch and new artists like Gruber & Nürnberg, Dubshape, Ali Kuru and also highly profiled projects like Peace Division and Audiofly enter the roster.

Since 2008 Nick Curly and Gorge run the label “8 Bit Records” in cooperation together and its sound becomes more and more trendsetting in terms of high quality “Deep House” and “Tech House”. Some magazines are even talking about the distinctive “Sound of Mannheim” and many influential print medias like Groove Magazine, Raveline and De:Bug release extended features about this sound. With a fine mixture of shuffling groove programming and deep tech house elements Gorge supports Nick Curly’s worldwide success. However since summer of 2008 he also finds enough time to produce records under his own moniker and high profiled record labels as Dennis Ferrer’s “Ojektivity”, “Systematic Recordings”, “Plastic City” and “Freerange” start to sign his music and worldwide best known jocks like Luciano, Steve Bug, Loco Dice and Dennis Ferrer frequently spin his black plastic! So it’s not really a surprise that Gorge is one of the most demanded German techhouse artists at the moment and great venues like Rex Paris, Space Ibiza and Cocoon Frankfurt are booking him.

We are happy to give you our next podcast, recorded Live at Cargo on the 29th May by Den Ishu

Den Ishu from the heart of Germany’s Ruhr Valley has been producing since the beginning of 2009.

His first production became an instant success, being immediately picked up and released by Loco Dice and his Label “Desolat“ in October 2009.

The following EP “Uganda Express“ exploded like a bomb instantly finding support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Sven Väth, Carl Cox, Marco Carola, 2000 And One, Tiefschwarz and reached countless Top 10 sales and DJ charts. With “R.U.W.M.“ featuring on “All Inn Limited“ Records he reached #3 on Decks Top 100 charts and definitly created one of the sure shots for 2010. His second EP “Preacher Man“ released on Amsterdam?s “Area Remote“ pushed him once again into the Top. Den Ishu?s “Expand Your Mind“ EP on Gregor Treshers?s imprint “Break New Soil“ set him to be firmly established as one of the new and fresh artists to keep an eye on. Den Ishu could not have got off to a better start and it is set to be a big year for him.

Enjoy!!!

Stathis Lazarides has the musical ethos and mentality of an artist who finds it impossible to compromise with trends and to specify genres when in the studio or at the DJ booth. Music has been his foremost priority for 20 years and the concept of sitting down to compose in his studio without a specific plan,mainly working on impulse, is for him the building block of underground music.

Stathis has started his journey into the amazing world of dance music at the tender age of 17.The setting was a small pub in his native country, Greece, but the impact to his life was massive. After spending some time Djing on various Greek Islands and enjoying a residency at the legendary Kinky Bambolina club in Thessalonica, he moves to London to study sound engineering and gets his first taste of an illegal rave in the middle of a field in Bedfordshire (many-many more followed)!

After finishing successfully his studies, starts his own record labels, Funktastique records and Bailado Music, and enjoys a string of releases, favored by dj’s like Sasha,James Zabiela, Seb Fontaine, Steve Lawler, John Digweed and radio stations including BBC Radio 1 and Kiss fm. Around the same time, he begins his residency at the world famous club Cavo Paradiso, in Mykonos, Greece (where he is the resident dj since 2000), and gets regular appearances at the Ministry of sound,Turnmills,Egg,Soulsonic clubs in London.

Soon after, he gets noticed by labels like Azuli(Stathis L-Spaceman),Harlem,Steve Lawler’s label(Deep Impakt-Shroomz) and Blackwiz,Sandy Rivera’s label(Stathis L-Music 4 Girls) and start remixing projects for Phonetic(Skahana-St Tropez),Blackwiz (Suroh-Sentimentos),Wallop(Smash-Damaged),Urbantorque(Relation-In Minuscule).

Stathis L. appearance in the club culture saw him playing with many of the worlds influential Djs, such as Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Little Louie Vega, Felix Da Housecat, Harry Choo Choo Romero, Sandy Rivera, Pete Tong, Steve Lawler,Sven Vath,Matthias Tamzmann,Loco Dice,Marco Carola,Raresh and many more. His sympathy for the audience and his ‘music has no borders’ attitude made him abuse different stages around the world.

His latest projects include a collaboration with Cecile and Area Remote artist Alex Celler,going with the name Steller. First release will come out on Soweso records later in the year,with a remix from Johhny D.

Stathis has also been the driving musical force behind the rhythmatic moniker,a party that has gatecrashed into the London scene 2 years ago and has a impressive roster of guest appearences such as Marco Carola, Matthias Tazmann, Luca Bachetti, Davide squillace, Gregor Tresher, Spencer Parker, Kreon, Lemos, Kabale Und Liebe, Rhadoo, Pedro Inspirescu, Fabio Giannelli to name a few…….Stathis has regarded his residency at Rhythmatic as important as the one at Cavo Paradiso and the future holds exciting new projects for the party not only in London but also on the international scene.

It is impossible to define his music style in a few concise words. Deep evolution? Funky sentiments? Dirty intentions? Atmospheric,non pretentious, quality underground music? Or a reflection to his emotions? His style obviously has a good presence of house and techno surrounded by a range of elements. But imagine what would happen if several people were asked to describe a very large and complex object that they don’t see, but could only feel. In this case the object seems to be music!

Rhythmatic resident, Wesley Razzy is best known for dancing in circles across the underground London scene, sending house and techno heads spinning. As part of the respected Rhythmatic collective, the UK producer has put on dancefloor breaking parties with the likes of Marco Carola, Matthias Tansmzann and Davide Squillace all at the helm.
