Already a legendary figure in electronic music, Chez Damier has played close witness to many of the pivotal moments in the history of house and techno. Jointly responsible with studio partner Ron Trent for both Prescription Records - widely recognised as one of the greatest house labels of all time - and The Morning Factory - one of the most ethereal jams ever to rock a room - Chez Damier carries abound the soul of house music.

KMS, The Music Institute, The Bellville three: the Chicago DJ has played pivotal roles in the development of all three hallowed pieces of musical history. However, his natural artistry and constant need to outdo even himself has led to him passing off such seminal tunes as Can You Feel It as just a stage in his artistic development. It is this development that he also sees in running a label, allowing other talents and close kindred spirits the benefit of the platform he has built.

For as an artist Chez Damier represents a unique blend; he is as impetuous and daring as now as in 1989 and being able to qualify this with his own unique heritage makes his releases and DJ performances doubly formidable. Today his sets are entirely unique, not just because of the experience and knowledge he can call upon. Sitting on a mountain of his own edits, nothing he plays is untouched by his hand. Whether it be a stomping disco loop or a jacking Chi-town monster, his own electronic wisdom embedded in each track.

When The Music Institute opened in Detroit in the late '80s it provided the home for a developing music scene. It proved just as important for the development of techno in the city as The Warehouse and The Music Box had been for house music in Chicago and the hedonistic experiences in that club have gone onto shape much that has happened to Chez Damier's ever since. He is indeed able to bring those experiences to bear on the hottest clubs of today from Berlin to New York, London to Tokyo.

After a few years managing the KMS studio and label for Kevin Saunderson, he returned to his hometown of Chicago and, alongside Ron Trent, created the musical legacy that has guaranteed his legend. Immortal cuts like "Sometimes I Feel Like," "The Choice" and "Be My" remain unparalleled examples of the genre and are now seeing finding a new wave of fans after being reignited around the turn of the last decade. After taking an extended break from the music industry either side of the turn of the millennium, the house music impulse returned to Damier. A handful of releases in 2004 and the odd DJ date hinted that a return was on the cards.

In 2009, the last year of the decade Damier found a trusted outlet for his talents. A series of releases for the German label Mojuba signalled that he was on his way back to show the young pretenders the way. Taking up the torch of Prescription, Damier launched Balance Alliance as a home for some of the most forward thinking and talented producers he deems ft to join him on the imprint. Studio partnerships with Parisian Ben Vedren has reignited the production fame and under several alias, he shows signs of putting the past firmly in the past by bettering his classic work. Indeed, productions on French label Popcorn are already becoming anthems at clubs like Rex – Paris and the notorious Balearic den of DC10.

With momentum building firmly behind him, Chez Damier will continue to push the boundaries for both himself and those he gathers near to him.

Born in 1986 in a Parisian suburb, Jeremy is a passionate record collector and music lover whose collection and knowledge of house, disco, soul, and funk surpasses his years of collecting it. First inspired by listening to Radio Nova in Paris, he spent his formative teenage years in record shops with a sole idea in mind: unearthing hidden house music treasures, leaving no stone unturned. Then, later on applying the same process with other musical styles such as jazz, soul, and funk…

Jeremy started “My Love Is Underground” in 2010, a vinyl-only label dedicated to his first love: the authentic New York/New Jersey house sound. His mission was to bring these warm vibes back and showcase the spirit of this golden era in house. 

His honesty and dedication towards music has rocketed him to the forefront of international DJing, with the now extremely rare feature of being a DJ only and not a Producer/DJ. His landmark debut compilation in 2014, the stunning “My Love Is Underground” 3xLP, features Jeremy’s hand picked selection of rare & out of press house jams. A defining moment in his burgeoning career, it was ranked by Resident Advisor #1 best compilation of the year, winning praise from DJ’s and collectors alike for the depth and raw quality of the selection. 

2016’s ‘Jeremy Underground Presents Beauty’, released on Spacetalk, was another career milestone. The largely downtempo mix displayed a broader love of music, received rave reviews from the likes of Resident Advisor, ‪Gilles Peterson, and beyond, and confirmed him once again as one of the world’s finest music curators.

Jeremy's live sets share similar class and passion, one look at either of his Boiler Room performances shows an exceptional ability and connection with the dance floor, and his now classic b2b set with Motor City Drum Ensemble from Robert Johnson (recorded by RA for their podcast) is considered a “DJing master class” (RA). This year he was reunited with his friend and inspiration, Kerri Chandler, for a limited series of back-to-back sets under the Underground Kaoz banner, with shows so far for Awakenings, Nuits Sonores and Lovebox, and this month’s Mint Festival in Leeds. 

In June, Jeremy took over Phonox for a weekly residency at the South London institution. He invited a string of his own favourite DJs to join him across the four Friday night shows – including Inner Sense (My Love Is Underground); DJ Dirty Hans; The Mighty Zaf, andRoger Thornhill. This year’s edition of Sonar saw Jeremy join MCDE for a special closing set on the Resident Advisor stage, with their set streamed live and later archived as one of RA’s key streams of this year. Jeremy also gave a candid interview to RA for their Exchange feature, opening up about his life and career so far: https://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?exchange=414

"Everything has a tone. What you create in your tone will determine whether anyone will listen."---- K-HAND

As a way of staying ahead of the curve, today's precocious house and techno DJs have taken to digging up underrated classics and serving them up side by side with contemporary offerings—In over  two decades as a producer, K-Hand, has been responsible for more than a few of these vintage gems. No wonder the Detroit City Council named Kelli Hand “the First Lady of Detroit,” citing her "skills within a male-dominated industry" as a business woman and multimedia artist.

It's true; K-Hand's work is being celebrated once again, with brand new music for Nina Kraviz’s трип (Russian for “trip”) label and her own Acacia imprint on deck after 25 years of releasing undeniable techno and house tunes that remain in demand to this day.

Her turn-of-the-century cut "Clap Yo Hands" found its way onto Ostgut Ton's Panorama Bar 06 mix compilation by resident Ryan Elliott; going on to receive the best mix of 2014 by Resident Advisor and reigniting interest in her music. “DJ’s DJs” Ben Klock and Ben UFO have also mined K-Hands classic catalog, utilizing “Starz” and “Project 5 (Untitled B1) for their respective Fabric 66 and FabricLive 67 mix CDs.

The media also caught on, with Little White Earbuds declaring K-Hand "criminally overlooked"—a sentiment Fact Magazine later echoes when stating, "Detroit's first lady has still never been matched." It's hard not to agree, but it's something that Kelli herself brushes off, keeps busy, and believing “Everyone will have their time”.

This pairing of patients and confidence no doubt comes from over three decades operating in techno’s boy’s club. In an industry sparse in female counterparts, Kelli took on the pseudonym "K-HAND" in 1990 to avoid gender stereotyping. Today, those boys have grown into men  (some even legends) and Hand has grown right along with them, embracing her role as a female pioneer who challenged the status quo.  "For me, it’s all about the music, not about how someone looks with or without any business, producing or djing skills. But, being “true” to yourself, and having the ability to express yourself creatively through your own self confidence that is within you”.

From the beginning, Kelli's childhood revolved around music, specifically the drums. Her growing passion for rhythm culminated in her moving to New York to study music theory in college. While in the Big Apple, she picks up another kind of musical education—soaking up the sounds of Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage and absorbing the songs she heard on that legendary dance floor into her own record collection. Later, she picks up the pieces of the club scene from the late Ken Collier in Detroit, a considerable legend to the pioneering generation of house and techno first-wavers.

In a move that exemplifies her do it yourself ethos, Kelli turned down an offer from Jeff Mills to release her very first record on Underground Resistance saying, "I wanted to start my own label to see how the business worked. " This quest for knowledge resulted in the Acacia label  which became a platform for her own musical output as well as a launching pad for producers like  Claude Young, Sean Deason, and the Wamdue Kids. Soon she forged aworking relationship with Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva, who supported label distribution and events through their IntellNET company.

Truly ahead of her time, Hand continued to rack up many accolades. From  being the first woman to release house and techno at the start of the '90s, she became the first producer from Detroit to release on Warp Records in '94, and then the first artist to release an album to Studio !K7 in '95. She also regularly represented her heralded city on compilations from Astralwerks, Sublime Records, Ausfahrt, and Tresor —going on to release entire Techno albums on the latter two Berlin-based imprints..

Other labels lined up for music, including London’s Third Ear, Paris imprint Distance, and Loveslap! from San Francisco.Her hometown peers kept her working as well, including Norma Jean Bell’s Pandamonium label., which released the  "Super Natural" single in 1999, along with remixes for both Bell and Sharon Jones, and a collaboration with Kenny Dixon Jr. on Bell’s Come into My Room album,. Much of this music is hard to find, but repressings remain in demand, with the 1997 Acacia Classics compilation finding its way into Juno Record’s "Best of 2014 Techno" list.

When not releasing (or re-releasing) records, Hand continues to maintain a vigorous touring schedule, delivering sets at iconic venues like Ministry of Sound and Fabric (London), Club Yellow (Tokyo), and Tresor (Berlin)—plus regular hometown gigs during Movement Festival—that bridge the gap between house and techno while providing clarity to an often-confused industry as to what those genres really mean.

As Fact put it, "In her hands, the differentiations between different strands of house and techno become irrelevant: it’s all just source material for her sterling sets."Or in Kelli's own words, "I like to play different musical perceptions to the kids. It’s all just good dance music”.

Those who haven’t had the chance to experience K-Hand live can catch her celebrated set on Boiler Room. Or hold out for first time visits to Dubai and South Africa, as well as long overdue returns to Italy, Australia and Japan. Wherever she lands, fans can trust that K-Hand will continue to deliver the goods.

-“It's not final until it's on Vinyl” --K-HAND

-“The Music Business isn’t for everybody. Life processes are natural, yet simple. My life lane has amazing experiences without force, thus, leads me to who I am today. ---K-HAND".

No one unites a club like Kerri Chandler. No one’s kick kicks harder. No one’s keys carry more emotion. No crowd reacts with more energy than when the New Jersey great is behind the decks. His life-long obsession with sound makes him famously meticulous about the setups of the clubs he plays, and that always results in electrifying sets of soulful, authentic, positive house music.
Chandler has unquestionably helped shape the house landscape, not only from the booth and the studio, but also as an A&R. His Kaoz Theory label has worked with contemporary talents like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers, while his influential MadHouse Records has just celebrated 25 years of agenda setting releases with a storytelling anniversary album. Proving he is at the vanguard of the scene are his critically acclaimed back-to-back sets with French protégé Jeremy Underground as Underground Kaoz at flagship festivals. His residency at the world famous DC10 and an ever full DJ diary  that takes him on endless trips around the world are also testament to his on going vitality as an artist. 
Next to various awards and recognitions for his outstanding contribution to house music in recent years, Kerri has been on the cover of Mixmag, DJ Mag (UK and USA), and featured on Resident Advisor’s respected The Hour podcast series. In 2017, he served up a standout entry into the hallowed DJ-kicks mix series with a seamless selection featuring his own keys over an autobiographical and hugely personal mix that was like spending an afternoon in his living room with the man himself. 
Of course, Chandler came up in a different era, when no one cared about genres and all that mattered was bringing people together. His hometown was a cultural melting pot with different scenes round every corner, from funk to soul, jazz to hip hop. Those essential early learnings have stayed with him and mean he remains one of house music’s must see acts. He is someone who can join the dots and take you on a true musical adventure. He never fails to draw unreserved reactions from the dance floors he plays to, and always with a beaming smile of his own. 
As a producer, he is just as vital and unmatched, having started out as an impossibly young man working in studios. From his 1990 debut right up the present day, his peerless discography reads like an evolution of deep, soulful house music. Rather than mechanical grooves, he lays down spiritual rhythms that permeate every part of your body. He combines powerful, driving drums with heart swelling hooks to devastating effect. 
He is affectionately known as the ‘Stevie Wonder of house music,’ and for good, reason: over the years, he has laid down countless timeless tracks and albums that exude a rich musicality, brim with character and reach way outside the confines of the dance floor for their inspiration. His definitive cuts on labels like Atlantic, King Street Sounds, Nervous and his own Madhouse have spawned legions of copycats and generation after generation of new fans. Kerri Chandler, then, has been a house legend for many years, but what sets him apart is his unique ability to blend tradition with innovation in fascinating new ways.

Paul Cut is definitely not the newest avatar of French House’s wonderkid. No, despite his ‘moma’s boy’ profile, his classical and jazz piano training, his proximity to legends such as Kerri Chandler or Chez Damier and his central role within D.KO, a key label of the electronic music renewal in France, Paul has definitely better to sale than just a nice resume. Infact, he might perfectly embody, yet in real humbleness, the purest essence of France’s best House Music.

One of the main reasons to this is that Paul Cut built up a bold sense of his musical environment. Not only being fully integrated into the Parisian microcosm, one can also easily recognize that his sound is truly resonating with the electronic tradition of the French capital. Unless much of his peers from his generation who have discovered House Music over Internet diggings, Paul Cut has literally incorporated all of its fundamental elements. After teenage years having fun in Jazz and Funk bands Paul was introduced to electronic music by his older brother and started working behind machines at the age of 18. His influences do not deceit. Going from Stevie Wonder to DJ Deep via Matthew Herbert, I:Cube, Playing 4 The City, The Crusaders, Dego & Kaidi, Moodymann, Akufen... they are showing a versatile and abiding enthusiasm for the groove. Looking at the best from his mentors’ work and subtly mixing it with his piano mastery, he is able to combine the best of a sturdy sample-based House and the harmonic finesse of a more Soulful style.

By some happy coincidence, one evening of 2014, Paul Cut finds himself on stage alongside Kerri Chandler... A friend encourages him to join the master for a jam and he unleashes the dance floor accompanying him on the keyboard. It's an electroshock. Starting as a producer in 2015 on Ondulé Recordings, the label of underground veteran Joss Moog, he begins his career with a forthright statement: his passion for Jazz in all its forms will be the sustaining background of the various facets of his musical identity. And the least we can say is that he is seducing by his keyboard player talent. Flabaire, head of D.KO invites him to participate in Secret Value Orchestra, the live band project bringing together the label’s artists and in which they cheerfully mix House, Jazz, Soul and Funk. Joining team D.KO, Paul will first release a split EP with his Lyon comrade Labat in 2016, then « Doum Doum EP » in solo in 2017. With Secret Value Orchestra they will release the same year « Serious Intentions EP » followed by the album « Unidentifiyed Flying Object ». Flabaire and Paul Cut are today gathered in a new live project named Lou Chang. Inaugurated at Concrete this live set meeting electronic and organic instruments has already put fire over a few French dance floors. 

But Paul Cut's musical vision does not stop here. Able to produce songs in collaboration with artists like Vadim Svoboda for Popcorn Records, the label of his friends Siler & Dima, he proves that his sense of groove does not limit to a style. It is thanks to them that he met Chez Damier with whom he shares the stage from time to time. Enthralled by Paul’s performances and his precise and vibrant style, the Chicago guru signed him an EP on Balance Recordings. « To Brothers » released in 2018 will be a consecration and the first of Paul’s discography released outside his Parisian core. Chez Damier pursues further their association and integrates him into his Heart 2 Heart project alongside Ben Verden, another French artist with an unmistakable talent. Today, Paul Cut intends more than ever to continue on this path, grateful to an environment in which he feels good and evolves naturally. Despite his short but eloquent discography, and thanks to his hybrid DJ sets (mixing turntables and keyboards) and thrilling live sets, he proves that his meticulous pianist talent is not just a simple line on his resume but fits perfectly in a passionate vision of music, which assures him as a complete artist.

Santé, hailing from Berlin, is part of a new school of artists championing musicality, skillfulness and creativity over mindless loops and endless repetition. His productions, like those on his record label AVOTRE, ooze character, charisma & humor, feelings so often overlooked in the realms of house music.

Santé’s career trajectory has grown hand in hand with AVOTRE’s reputation. His success has allowed the brand, founded in 2012, to grow incredibly quickly, to the point where it is now an established label selling out at least two international showcase events every month while continuing to act as a ‘go-to’ label for the undergrounds hottest acts. 2015 saw the release of two further successful House Lessons releases – One from long term friend Russ Yallop, and the other, touring and production partner Sidney Charles. The House Lessons concept itself comes from one of the label’s first releases AVTR003 – Sidney Charles’ genius track of the same name that has led to a musical concept, fully embraced by Santé and the AVOTRE family. Culminating in the February 2017 with the release of Santé’s own House Lesson’s LP, the twelve track concept album is a compilation of collaborative tracks, featuring some of house and techno’s most influential artists including wAFF, Marshall Jefferson, Ann Saunderson, and Solardo amongst others.

Beyond AVOTRE, label boss Santé has continued to build his already impressive repertoire of releases with a number of Beatport top ten records including a hit track for Hot Creations – ‘Forever’ - and the era defining ‘Stay’ on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records, which went on to take a place among the label’s most successful releases of 2015.

Looking to the year ahead, Santé’s 2017 calendar is already filling up with key events such as Glastonbury, several dates with Elrow at their newly announced Amnesia residency, and BPM Portugal. Continuing to push boundaries with his electrifying live shows, Santé launched event concept ‘Cave Rave’ at newly opened Leeds venue The Church in late 2016. Incorporating 3-D projection and an altogether deeper sound, Cave Rave is set to make a return in 2017 with a series of yet to be announced summer dates.

It all started when Santé bought an Akai MPC-2000 aged 16 and set the ball rolling for a life entrenched in electronic music. “I was totally into sampling and house”, he recalls of those early days of button bashing and experimentation. He left his hometown when he was 21 to immerse himself in the dance music mecca that is Berlin. A studio internship blossomed into a full-time career, with the emerging talent spending six years producing jingles and ad music and nurturing his passion for house music at any opportunity. Nothing was released, however, until one of his demos found its way to Matt ‘Radio Slave’ Edwards. His first ever release came out on Edwards’ acclaimed REKIDS imprint, setting the bar incredibly high and garnering him a lot of high-profile attention in the process.

The next major stepping-stone for him was meeting Tiefschwarz. “They were looking for a new engineer and hired me to oversee all projects for their label Souvenir, where I got the freedom to release my music and a platform to experiment” he explains. This fruitful, intense relationship lasted three years, a time Santé describes as being “a fantastic experience”. After working on many of Tiefschwarz’s releases, including remixes for Richie Hawtin and Grace Jones, Santé decided to fly the nest in search of new pastures. His subsequent release schedule spells out what a diverse producer he is and how far his popularity ranges - from bastions of techno like Cocoon to the kings of big room house Defected, through to underground darlings like Desolat, all the way to acclaimed remixes for huge stars like Depeche Mode. Few producers can claim such a breadth of imprints to be associated with at any one time. When you ask Santé to describe his musical style, he says he doesn’t really know how to - which goes someway to explaining his widespread appeal.

If you’ve stepped into a club during the past year, there’s a strong chance that you might have heard a Wheats record. This dynamic new talent has gone from being a local mainstay in England to receiving recognition from some of the world’s most eminent musical talent

Heeding his father’s example from a young age—a dedicated vinyl collector and well renowned DJ in his own right—Wheats’ passion for music was incubated before he’d even stepped foot in a nightclub after the musical blueprint was laid out for him by his close family. 

At 18, he managed to accumulate frequent bookings in his hometown, Portsmouth, where he quickly gained a strong local following and won a residency at Love Amplified. This caught the attention Mutiny Festival, who swiftly enlisted his talents. 

It was, in fact, during Mutiny festival that he would happen to meet New Jersey house legend Kerri Chandler in a rather fortuitous turn of fate. After listening to Wheats’ demos on the spot, Chandler immediately played his tracks during his set the same afternoon. Chandler subsequently signed him to MadTech records—an off shoot of Kerri’s MadHouse record label—specialising in tech-house, minimal and big room.  

Wheats continues to impress with each release, showcasing an inimitable talent and signature sound that has proved increasingly popular in recent memory. Forthcoming releases have been planned on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved, Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound and Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars.

Wheats has amassed a worldwide following and cultivated broad international gigging experience. He has performed in Miami, Berlin, Amsterdam, Ibiza, London and Montreal, gracing the decks at some of the most renowned clubs across the continent; 338, EGG, and Hi Ibiza have all played hosts to his talents. He was also invited to play at Elrow festival, one of Wheats’ crowning achievements.

Wheats has built up an enviable following, garnering support from industry heavyweights such as Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Calvin Harris, Lee Foss, Alan Fitzpatrick, Solardo, HotSince82, Nicole Moudaber, Adam Beyer, Green Velvet, Eats Everything, Jamie Jones and Yousef. He clearly seems to have made a strong impression on the music establishment, winning over top DJ’s with his sets and original productions

One thing is certain; this young man is showing no sign of stopping just yet, his potential clear to see and his talent untapped and raw. With support in all the right places, Wheats can firmly assert himself at the crest of the tech wave, a stalwart performer and producer who continues to dazzle critics and crowds with consistently solid output.
