Artists.

Live Techno

The duo is one of Vienna’s breakthrough electronic Live acts. What sounds like a banal observation is actually an deeper analysis of interpersonal harmony, which spills over into their Raison d’être: live analog and often sporadically improvised live techno. One of them laughs, the other one doesn’t, still they both perform. Live. Always.

Although the inspiration for their sound might sometimes lie somewhere in mundane observations, they derive their true creative might from the inspiring force of the universe. Difficult to harness yet still clearly defined. A perfect metaphor for their music. An otherworldly emotional state, broken down into an ecstatic Dance ritual.

Vinyl DJ

An allegory of a musical skyscraper in human form: Varying floors, movable room seperators, hidden doors, but no musical boundaries. Florian Scheibein lives in such a building since his early childhood, his lease says “unlimited”. The foundation and his living and working space are called “House”, the basement door says “Chicago” and a corridor leads to the hidden “Deep House” chamber. One floor above that: A big kitchen and a bedroom called “Techno” with a terrace of the “Detroit” make.

Florian made his first active and creative steps in the mid-90s as a HipHop-DJ, Turntablist and MC. 2002 he made the decision to focus on the different playing fields of electronic music. The desire, to unify people through sound and rhythm and make people lose themselves in the flow of music led him to play residencies at Vienna/Feldkirch-based event series Stadtpark Musik and at big Vienna club Pratersauna. 2011, him and A:lex founded the label Leap Records, which also releases their own productions. 2015 their sub label First Music sees the light of day. His packed schedule shows Flo’s versatile DJ personality: secret weapon, headliner, warmup act or savior of the morning –it is what it is!

Producer, remixer, DJ and label owner, multifaceted artist Igor Vicente is turning into a truly global electronic music proposition. Vicente’s unique sound is built up over 4 or 5 hours creating a smooth and unpredictable blend of House and Techno, full of effects often creating surprise in his sets.Coming from Mons, Belgium, Vicente grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, KC & The Sunshine Band and Warren G. His passion for electronic music started in his teens, when he first discovered the sounds of Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, Funk D’Void, Kenny Hawkes, DJ Sneak and Derrick Carter. His infatuation with all electronic things led to the creation of his now legendary Wildfamily parties, in which Jamie Jones, Clive Henry, Seth Troxler and Shaun Reeves has played among other DJ friends.

In 2011 was born Ultrasone, a duo producing tracks for big labels including Visionquest, Supplement Facts, Hot Creations and Maison d’Être with big remixes on Saved, Get Physical and Air London.In 2013, Igor Vicente put Ultrasone to sleep to focus himself on his growing solo career. He also founded his own brand and label State of Flow that has gone from strength to strength from the first vinyl release from LYE in 2015. State of Flow has also developed into a famed club night brand, and his Wildfamily parties also continue at Kompass club, now with a new Wildfamily digital label imprint designed for ‘good party music’. His residencies at Belgium’s elite clubs Café d’Anvers and Fuse firmly imprinted Igor Vicente in the electronic dance music scene.

Production wise, Igor’s most revered releases have included Hot Creations bomb The Knight with a remix by Jamie Jones, and Don’t Feel no Way on Visionquest. Labels including Hot Creations and Get Physical records has continuously released his music. “Igor Vicente has honestly been the DJ who has most impressed me with his mind-blowing sets. I can’t keep this secret and wish that everyone will hear his amazing talent,” says Anja Schneider.

What’s new for 2018? In April, Igor Vicente started a new club residency at Roots Barcelona and a new club project called L.sT also begins this spring in Antwerp, aiming for “quality over quantity, putting the vibe firmly up front”. Igor’s forthcoming releases for Spring 2018 include Endless EP on Get Physical Music and Amberes EP on Do Not Sleep. Keep your ears open for Igor’s next bomb, his remix of Los Pastores Challenger forthcoming on Decay Records, already getting major props from Jamie Jones.

Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Lazarus Mathebula, aka Lazarusman, is a poet at heart. His core belief is that the vocals in dance music should transcend further than just enhancing the music or add a human effect but instead, they should leave a lasting impression, impart knowledge and transfer a global message that everybody can relate to.

His love for spoken word and dance music has now transported him to the main stage of top clubs around the world, performing live at festivals and releasing records all over the world. Working with artists such as Martin Stimming, Florian Kruse, Alex Dimou,

Tigerskin, Andre Lodemaan, Aki Bergen and Djuma Soundsystem shows hints of how far along this young slam poet from Jo

͛ burg has come. As a young man he began his path into poetry and spoken word after being inspired by the situations and difficulties of being young black and South African.

His idiosyncratic style of poetry earned him quick recognition in the local poetry scene, performing and competing across South Africa. Instead of conforming to the normal style of poetry that most of his peers had chosen at the time, Lazarus’s style offered a more humorous and quirky way to put across social conversation about political and personal issues that were (and still are) existent in his surroundings. This unique style is attributed to his genuine love for dance music.

Lazarusman has now released music on labels such as Stil Vor Talent, Rebellion, Diynamic, Get Physical, Noir Music, Selador and Audiomatique to just name a few, and if you ask him he is always busy working on a new song or project. He quoted saying, about the success he’s had so far:

2018 will see the revealing of his new album, an album that he͛s secretly been working away on between all those collaborations. Teaming up with South African producer Greg Canning, they have made an album full of music for both your mind and your dancing

feet. The album could be called a documentary of sorts, taking in all aspects of his past, his life, his travels and his many live performances of the last few years.

Born in Feldkirch (Vorarlberg) in 1982, also called „the wild west of Austria“, close to the boarder of Switzerland and Germany. His musical vein inoculated, Markus got the beat into the credle, because his father is a Professor of percussion instruments at the conservatory in Feldkirch.

At the end of the 90ies he discovered turntables as musical instruments. In the following years he spent a lot of time in his cellar with his 1210s and trained his skills and perfected them. During this time he started to play more and more gigs in and around Vorarlberg as a HipHop-DJ and under his synonym „Ezco“. His popularity increesed and with that the desirability of his mixtapes.

In 2003 he got in touch with electronic music, which infected the content of his crate during the next month tremendously.

Since 2006 Markus lives in Vienna. His endeavour: To bring his own musical style to the interessted danceaudience under the view of techno/house, Markus still reveals his focus, which can be described under the words deep, floating, reduced, funky, psychodelic and sexy. This is the best way to describe the tactful sound of the 28 year old.

Inspired by the upcoming underground scene from his hometown and socialised by his local music-posse (Stone Club, Provinzmusik, Rauch Club), Markus founded 2007 together with his childhood friend Jokl the platform „Stadtpark Musik“. A monthly occuring „Stadtpark Nacht“ in Feldkirch and since November 2008 also happening in Vienna, their parties are built on sound and quality rather than on number of attendees nor on mass processing. Bookings like Zip, Thomas Melchior, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, Margaret Dygas, Barem, Seph, Gurtz, Eric Johnston or Jorge Savoretti are more than guests. They count them to their further growing family of comrades-in-arms, the good connection to the base in Zürich, especially the cultural institution Cityfox.

The story of Markus Lindner an his heartproject „Stadtpark Musik“ is not finally written. Not until the potential of the Austrian capital – a tranquil place full of music lovers – is exhausted, Markus way will find an end.
