Kerri Chandler / Joe Claussell

By

Kerri Chandler has been injecting soul into dance music since the early nineties, making him one of house music’s originators. He is a house legend, icon, inspiration, key figure, and a true house music purveyor.

Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell is one of New York’s highly respected dance figures for his work as a DJ, producer, remixer, and his record label “Spiritual Life Music”. Much of the global dance movement can be traced back to Claussell’s highly percussive style that incorporates Latin, African, Brazilian and other world rhythms with elements of jazz, rock, disco, and live instrumentation.

Pan-Pot / Robert Hood / Volvox

By

Pan-Pot are a German minimal techno duo associated with Mobilee Records who made their acclaimed album debut in 2007 with Pan-O-Rama. Based in Berlin, Germany, the duo is comprised of Tassilo Ippenberger (from Chiemsee, Bavaria) and Thomas Benedix (from Templin, Brandenburg), who met as students at the SAE Institute.

Robert Hood is often regarded as the founder of minimal techno. The Detroit native makes stripped-down tracks with an emphasis on soul and experimentation rather than flash and popularity. Hood was a founding member of the Underground Resistance label, whose influential releases throughout the first half of the ’90s helped change the face of modern Detroit techno and sparked a creative renaissance.

Volvox remains one of the most powerful and distinct of the new generation of DJs to emerge from Brooklyn’s recent explosion of club music. She made her reputation at her Bossa Nova residency Jack Dept. and as one of Discwoman’s first breakout artists. Volvox’s sets slam with a darkly intoxicating playfulness. Her dirty, acid-drenched sets notoriously steal the show.
