Luís Batista is well-known as Nox since the beginning of his foray in electronic music, dating to nearly 2 decades.

Setting a remarkably strong, intense, and evolutionary path, Nox’s musical line combines a number of influences, trends and different fringes.

His journey through music is characterised by a highly individual and personal stamp of its own, whether in his technical approach, whether in his emotional relationship with music that is transferred to his main workplace, the dancefloor.

In late 2000, Nox became a freelancer, and in 2011 he began the project once known for Fuse Lx.

Productions that led him to remix artists such as DJ Vibe, Oscar L, Phunk Investigation and releasing music on labels like Magna Recordings, Kaos and most recently, fresh04 recordings, can be added to this fruitful journey.

Abroad, he travelled to places like Spain, Morocco, France, Switzerland, England, Sweden, Albania, and Poland, also where he took part in acclaimed and renowned events such as WMC and ADE.

Nox is an eternal music lover and a new technologies aficionado. More recently, he has discovered the joy of what it is considered to be the pinnacle of human emotion – he became the father of a sweet, smiling boy already full of groove, one of his many inspirations to add and enrich even more his musical path.

Vicmari, a producer and live performer from South Africa. Well known in producing Electronic, Dub, Ambient and also Techno sounds fusing them with a bit of Acoustic music to give you those soothing sounds he is known well for. Currently working with a German recording label Slope Music, Eclipser Chaser.

From humble beginnings, VICMARI was born in a small township in Durban, South Africa, KwaDabeka K; his love for music began in a very tender age. As he was most of the time alone, being an introvert, the only close friend was his music.

As most house lovers, he started wanting to be a house Dj and managed to get himself a computer from fixing them and helping where he could. His music collections were influenced by Dj's and compilers like Monde, Bubbles, Khabhila, Ndux, Vinny Da Vinci and Christos just to name a few.

As years went on, in 2009 a friend introduced him to FL Studio not knowing anything about the program, a friend just told him, "It's a tool to make your own music". But Vicmari didn’t really connect to it at first and the sound he was producing did not live up to the young mans standards

In 2011, as technology developed, social media played a major role in the ambitious young man, as it made it easier to connect with people from overseas countries like the UK, USA, Japan and Germany. He came across an overseas radio show "DeepRhythms" hosted by DJ Timo. In that specific show, he came across an exhilarating guest mix by Daniel Paul Behemann

Vic connected immediately with Daniel via social media. They became friends and Daniel was now Vic's Mentor whom guided him through the early stages of his music career. The friendship grew stronger and Vicmari became part of the Slope family.

Deep, intelligent and sophisticated are words that best describe Rob Toca’s distinctive penchant for divergent and experimental electronic sound.

From the very first record he set on the decks back in 2000, he was hooked and allowed the music to guide him along his way.

Originally from Johannesburg, Rob now resides in Cape Town where his unassuming demeanor, endearing humility and undeniable audio proficiency continues to consistently captivate dance floors in the mother city.

Co-founder of the record label Kalushi Recordings, Rob seeks to explore a more undefined space within Africa's electronic house and techno scene, bearing with it a distinctively nonconformist twist.

After making his debut in Nairobi, SURAJ has emerged as a dynamic, trailblazing DJ/Producer in East Africa with an envious list of productions and high quality mix sets.

Since then, he has set his sights on becoming a beacon in Africa's burgeoning electronic music scene.

In just a matter of time, his music & live shows have become a fixture for fans and DJs alike, earning him releases in labels like Moblack Records and Red Bull Music Studios, which made his talent and captivating personality known to many on the continent and around the world. As he continues to shine and become even more sought-after, SURAJ is honing his skills and making every release and performance better than the last.
