KENNY LARKIN [ DETROIT - LOS ANGELES . POUSSEZ . ART OF DANCE . PLUS8 . TRANSMAT . KMS . WARP . R&S . PEACEFROG ]
"Kenny Larkin is a third-gen techno artist, a new school of Detroit-based musicians taking the city's famous hard-edged musical futurism into new and innovative areas. Although he missed techno's mid- to late '80s formative years due to a stint in the military, Larkin, a Detroit native, was brought up to speed by Juan Atkins and Derrick May, the latter of whose weekly radio shows inspired Larkin to pursue music production. Heavily rooted in house, Larkin quickly incorporated techno's formal characteristics into a brazen-yet-refined style that places his music somewhere in between Detroit and Chicago, combining house's more swinging rhythmic vibe and soft edge with techno's muscular backbeat and experimental zeal. He released a pair of 12-inches – 'We Shall Overcome' and 'Integration' – on the Richie Hawtin/John Acquaviva label Plus 8 in the early '90s before moving on to release material through Transmat Records, Buzz Records, Warp Records, R&S Records, and TVT Records. Larkin also established his own label in the process. Massively influential on British and German, as well as American strains of techno, his tracks have appeared on a number of notable compilations documenting new-school Detroit talent. His exposure abroad has also translated, as with a number of Detroit originals such as Jeff Mills and Carl Craig, into a level of European success far surpassing that at home. Larkin has travelled extensively around the world DJing at both small capacity clubs and large arenas. In addition to his weekly jaunts to Europe, Larkin has been putting the final touches on his latest album, which is to be released later this year. Larkin has also returned to his main love, stand up comedy. His goal is to at the end of 2000, move to L.A. and become a stand up comic, eventually going into film and writing."

MICHA KLANG [ NÜRNBERG / GERMANY . GLÜCKSKIND. PASO MUSIC . MOTHERSHIP . SURVEILLANCE]
Micha Klang's style is marked by a love for long sets of minimal, textured tech-house and crunchy, crispy techno beats. Originating in Nürnberg in the late ‘90s, Micha Klang quickly broke ground with his ‘Mothership’ event. ‘Summership’, an open air event in an old castle was attended by thousands. ‘Mothership’ recently celebrated its 6th Anniversary, headlining Sven Vath, and today Micha Klang runs his label ‘Paso Music’ with Spallek, Sebrok, and Marc Miroir.

TOM++ [ PHILADELPHIA . f(x) ]
Stripped-down funk and rhythm, always unpredictable. Choosing from a wide arragement of sounds, Tom Schreiber, aka Tom++, brings a clever warmth and emotion to the moment, while revealing an insightful view of the reality we inhabit. It is his continued dedication to advancement of all aspects of the music, community, and culture that keeps him near the heart of the Philadelphia and Global electronic music movement. In 2006 his sights are set on studio production and a 'hardware based' live performance.

RICK MIKO [ PHILADELPHIA . f(x) ]
In 1993 Miko brought his blend of funky house and disco to The Freight Yard and established himself as a resident deejay there. This club was located in a warehouse in Allentown, PA and is known for the legendary all night events and weeklies that took place when the rave scene was starting up in the US. At a time when techno music was the standard, Miko defied the norm by giving the crowd an awesome house set while at the same time keeping interest through a unique energy of driving techno sounds.
