Thomas Schumacher - Germany
(Get Physical, Spielzeug)

Man of the moment - Thomas Schumacher (aka Electrochemie LK) is one the leading lights of the current global dance scene. His futuristic productions have graced the record boxes of the worlds leading DJs, and is praised by the media and crowds for his productions and deadly DJ sets. Schumacher is responsible for some of the biggest club tracks of the last year: 'Kickschool 79', 'White Rooms Remix', 'You're My Kind', 'Pleasure Seeker' & 'Tainted Shall' as well as having just released the sublime album 'Home' on his own Spiel Zueg record label coming out of Berlin.. Remixes for International Deejay Gigolos; Marc Almond; Bob Sinclar; Primate; Monika Kruse; Blank & Jones; Dr. Motte; DJ Misjah; Frankie Goes To Hollywood; Zombie Nation and Eve Mendes are all proof of the respect that he inspires from his contemporaries and of course confirms his success.

Thomas continues to be one of the leading players on the International DJ circuit. He spends a whole lot of time it the departure lounges of airports all over the world and is honoured to travel to remote and exotic places to do his thing. In Columbia, where he played in infamous cities such as Bogota, Medellin and Cali, the tour became more like a survival trip for this not easily daunted traveller. He has performed for an overwhelming mass of 75,000 people at the Mexico City Love Parade, a crowd of 35,000 reveling enthusiasts at Germanys Mayday and he still enjoys rocking a tiny club in the back lanes of Hiroshima or Hamburg just as much. Playing a jumping party, his heart beats with Electro, Tech House, Minimal and and every interesting and fresh development of his beloved Techno. He remains a cherished regular in the most important clubs throughout Germany and he continues to land in diverse continents across the globe to do what he does best - rocking dancefloors.

Deetron - Switzerland
(Intec, Rotation, Music Man, Soma)

Over recent years, Sam Geiser aka Deetron has emerged as a rising star in the techno and tech house world. His popularity as a producer has flourished in tandem with his reputation as a dynamic three-deck DJ, and as the latter discipline propelled him across the globe, his work for a growing roster of record labels further cemented his position as a genuine talent within the international dance scene. His list of musical achievements stretch back to the early nineties – and on paper it makes for quite an impressive body of work.

Geiser has come a long way in a relatively short period of time, but it’s no fluke ascension given his considerable talent and hard work. What’s more, he shows no sign of flagging. Whilst 2003 has been a very busy year, with extensive worldwide DJ dates, singles for Music Man and Intec, and high profile remixes for Ennio Morricone, Victor Simonelli, Gary Martin, and Mark Broom, 2004 and 2005 have taken his DJ-schedule to yet another level and he released the massive “Miss Suave EP” on Carl Cox’s Intec in 2004 as well as “The floor jackin’ theory” on Music Man in 2005. Furthermore he remixed Funk D’Void, Joris Voorn, Smith & Selway and Detroit Grand Pubahs to name but a few. In 2006 a new single called “Isotope EP” released on Music Man blew up all across the globe, pulsing analog basslines over his trademark jacking beats and his long awaited debut longplayer “Twisted” is set to hit the stores in late September 2006.

Deetron is unstoppable – one of the true pioneers on the club circuit, a DJ whose expert skills see him at the top of his game.
