Kirill @kimimusic started his career in 1999 not with mixing vinyls, unlike many of his colleagues, but with composing music . A few years later, he began to comprehend the art of djing. Since 2003 began to organize their own events. After 6 years of productive work — in the beginning of 2005 — he has already signed contracts with foreign labels to release several releases including a full album.

2009 was one of the most important in his career. This year, his compositions are beginning to acquire international fame and consistently hit the charts of famous artists. A huge success was the track «Stereokubizm» — it gains the place in the top 10 of Depeche Mode’s favorite compositions, which they played at warm ups on his world tour. The result — signed contracts with many foreign labels. A few years later, the high musical talent and professionalism of Ki.Mi. allowed him to cooperate with such heavyweights of the electronic music as @moon-harbour, @danseclub, Haunt and others, as well as a triple victory in the global competition of remixes on Beatport. Ki.Mi. is a multifaceted creative person — it confirms his inalienable part in a unique project @technopoetry, his Vinyl label called Kashatskikh.

What makes an artist to succeed is still a secret for most of all. What it is sure, is that the journey is long and hard, more even coming from an island; a beautiful place in the world, but far away from the big cities and the big opportunities. This is what makes Javier @carballo (boss of @uyslabel)still more respectable. He has been the reference for the best underground electronic music, back at the Canary Islands and #Spain, but now he is becoming well known far away from his country too. We can see the energy of those warm islands on his energetic and spectacular underground sets, on his stylish house and techno; on the hipnotic and hight quality sound he spreads. All this together with his commitment for the transmission of the good music, the good parties and all the people involved in, made him the big artist he is already. He has built step by step his own style, and above all he has a strong devotion for the sounds that make us, the lovers of music, move and move, dance and dance with him as our dance partner. We can start naming some of the best booths, clubs and parties he had played in, but the list will have no end: Sunwaves (Romania), BPM fest (Mexico , Portugal , Costa Rica) , @fabric (London), Roots (Madrid), @watergate-club (Berlin), @93feeteast (London), @sankeysibiza (Ibiza), DC10 (Ibiza), @baramericas (Mexico), Space (Miami), @outputclub (NYC) and so on.

The Big Bang happened in 2005 when Aleksandr aka @grad_u, a Vilnius-based DJ and producer who had been focused on drum’n’bass, accidentally heard Prospect II by Fluxion. It wasn’t the first time he heard the track but, at the right time and the right place, or, more accurately, the right depth, it pushed the artist to aim for fresh and dubby vibes and sounds. As the deal was done for the first release, the gradient of function U that Aleksandr studied at the moment gently became @grad_u. The gradient demonstrates the direction of increase of the function, so, consistently, it also paved the path of grad_u’s musical journey. But enough about maths. The sound of grad_u levitates in the golden middle between the ancient woods and the everyday asphalt jungle. The purity of these soundscapes is usually predetermined by recording the tracks on the tape, and inside these tapes, the producer encrypts both his family, everyday life, philosophical thoughts, space explorations, and some wild fantasies of how it all would sound live through a proper sound system. After a few successful releases on Knowone, grad_u was determined to launch a vinyl-only label himself. That’s how Redscale was born, and, since its first release in 2012, the catalogue has already reached the number RDSCL09. Grad_u produces all of the tracks released on Redscale. The producer also collaborates with likeminded imprints, Irenic being the latest (as of 2019) example of the dubby and timeless friendship. Having formed strong yet subtle muscles by performing live and DJ sets in various clubs and festivals in #Lithuania and nearby countries, for the past few years grad_u can in all sincerity be called an international artist. In the recent months, he has performed in cities like #Kyiv, #Helsinki, #Budapest, #Beijing, or #Tehran and travels are planned for the future. The faraway locations, unlike surroundings and new people met on the road have transformed into creative influences. The busy schedule of the artist hasn’t managed to keep him away from the studio and label errands; a few releases are now lined up to be listened in bedrooms and beyond.

@exos is one of the most experienced techno artists from Iceland since the mid-nineties. He has made a multitude of releases throughout the years, along with his 4th album in 2020. His debut appeared in 1997 with his first Ep on the legendary dub-influenced label @thule-records, which is known for its rare signature minimal sound. His third album, ‘My Home is Sonic’, was reissued in 2015 by Dutch mainstay, @delsinrecords. It is lauded as a classic of modern dub techno and was voted album of the year 2001 by “mbl.is“, one of most prominent newspaper sources in Iceland.

Surging back to the forefront starting in 2013 based on critical reevaluation of his catalog, he used this as a fulcrum to renew his already-storied career with new material and reissues of lost classics on @triprecordings by @nina-kraviz. He opened the @xozmusic label for the versatility of the deeper spectrum while launching @planetxsociety for the harder versions of @exos. This versatility of style and sensitivity both in the studio and onstage are key to his enduring appeal, as he possesses an innate ability to go from the most experimental compositions to the most elegant sound waves, always keeping with a very particular sense of harmony in one of the highest examples of total destruction of endless rawness. Released on such labels: @triprecordings, @planetxsociety, @figure-official, @thule-records, @delsinrecords, @berg_audio, Mosaic by @stephenos1, Force Inc., Symbolism by @ben-sims and others.
