MATHEW JONSON
Probably the best one-man electronic live act in the globe.

Hailing from distant Vancouver Matthew didn’t need long to establish himself as one of the most prominent electronic artists. With best selling releases on Itiswhatitis, SubStatic. Kompakt, Minus and most recently on Wagon Repair (at a time when vinyl sales still mattered), he definitely wont leave the room unnoticed.

Decompression, Alpine Rocket, Marionette, Folding Space, Typerope, Return of the Zombie Biker are nothing but a few of his top 10 titles. He’s received numerous accolades from all dance music magazines including ‘Best producer of 2004′.

What has often set Mathew apart from other performers is his ability to improvise and perform with other players in a live group setting. This has resulted in musical formations such as the Modern Deep Left Quartet and Cobblestone Jazz, who have developed an international reputation for their intensely soulful and masterful composition that translates both in recording sessions and in live performance.

With appearances on mix albums from Carl Craig, Daniel Bell, Adam Beyer, DJ Kosi, Monika Kruse and Ricardo Villalobos, and remixes for everyone from the Chemical Brothers and Moby to Nelly Furtado, Jonson has developed a large and varied following internationally.

But as such accolades continue to roll in, Mathew’s modesty continues to speak through the meditative sounds created in his studio, a testament both to his musicianship and his authentic nature.

DEETRON
Although the mountain peaks of Bern, Switzerland hold little resemblance to the industrial skylines of Midwestern America, it was among these surroundings that Sam Geiser became inspired to keep the legacy of Chicago house and Detroit techno alive. Operating under his moniker Deetron since the early nineties, he has dedicated most of his life to making and playing out dance music in its truest form. His unique production style – a melodic, housey take on Detroit techno – has captured the hearts of many around the globe. Furthermore, his immaculate mixing skills and superb choice of records have kept him internationally in demand as a respected dj for well over a decade.

Deetron should be proud of his unique style instantly recognized by music aficionados universally and an array of destined-for-the-floor productions. Predominantly a techno musician, at first he released his music on legendary labels like Primate, Intec, Phont, Ongaku and SLS.

Today find Mr Geiser balancing on the more melodic side of the groove and so he crafted star studded collaborations with Seth Torxler and Ripperton on Circus Company and Music Man respectively and landed remixes for the likes of Steve Bug, Dj Hell, Tony Lionni, Aril Brikha, Motorcitysoul and Basic Soul Unit.

A genuine talent with exceptional achievements in both the djing and producing fronts, Deetron could easily rest on his laurels and enjoy the fruit of his work, nonetheless he appears to be restless than ever and 2011 promises to be an even more exciting year in his long career. Just you wait and see!

NINA KRAVIZ
Nina Kraviz- Is a Siberian born young singer, producer and DJ. She runs Friday nights at Moscow’s famous Propaganda club.

Her first 12 inch was released on Greg Wilson’s B77 label-Myspacerocket feat. Nina Kraviz . Then followed the ” Voices Remix Project ” on Jus Ed’s Underground Quality imprint and her “First time” solo EP.

Apart from being a part of the Underground Quality family she does her house n’ disco beats for Rekids and Phillip Solmann’s aka Efdemin’s Naif label. “Pain in the ass” 12 inch released on Rekids in december 2009 was a success and brought Nina’s music to a wider range of listeners. Since then she’s been playing all around the globe including well known clubs like Panorama bar, Fabric, Fuse, Goa, Space and many more.. Her work is quite recognisible and most of the time has something personal in it’s sound. No matter what is she playing with;dirty house groove like in the latest remix of Okain’s “Scream” on Tsuba records or melancholic lyrics of “Moses’-

latest collaboration with Sascha Funke -it has that kraviz’s special sounding.

As a DJ Nina is very energetic and emotional. She plays whatever she has in her bag concentrating more on the atmosphere than on knobs and faders. You either love her or hate her- but never in the middle. You still can expect some good vibrations coming out.. house (especially acid house), techno according to her taste – which is excellent by the way)

NIKOS
Greece’s Rework’s festival hasn’t gone unnoticed in recent years, being ranked among the best festivals in the world by Resident Advisor. Remember regularirregular at Tbar? Well, this man is behind both Reworks (founding member and xCreative director) and regularirregular. London based Nikos is Krush’s resident – a man who has played alongside many of the industry’s high rollers in his time such as Sven Vath, Ricardo Villalobos, Steve Bug, Joris Voorn and Tiefschwarz just to name a few.

GUILLE BONESSO

Room 2 proudly presents an EXCLUSIVE
Phonica Special Disco showcase
with SIMON RIGG & THE VANGELIS

It is unarguably the best record shop globally thanks to its inimitable styling and wide range of rare tunes. The Soho hot spot has played a key role in shaping what we consider as electronic music today and the two gentlemen on its helm (Simon Rigg and The Vangelis) know better than most what is the next best thing.

With an exceptional understanding of disco music (both nu- and old-school) we ask them whether they can showcase their take on a perfect disco night out and guess what; they loved the idea. So both Simon and Vangelis are digging deep in their record libraries and preparing what you dont just see every day.

You know them and you love them both. Here’s your chance to hear them playing something special for your aural pleasure.

Not to be missed!
