“Printworks London is like nowhere else. It’s just totally unique. We love that this incredible behemoth of a space has had life breathed into it” – Mark Newton, Broadwick Live Director
Blanda – I think the main element is that this label is open for all techno artists. We are giving every producer that has talent a great platform to release music. If we get goosebumps from your music we will release it
LWE continue to prove they are leading event curators with an incredible third year of Junction 2 Festival London
“I fear we are slowly losing our most important human nature: To care for others. So to be at a concert or electronic event might help you to stay in touch with that human nature, I hope” – Henrik Schwarz
“I love taking people out of their comfort zones and forcing them to turn the eyes of observation on themselves. My older live shows (when I was doing a lot of vocals) were extremely unhinged” – Blood Blood
“I’ve always said I only sign music I’m playing, I think this is the only way I’ve stayed true to the reasons I started the label in the first place. I’ve never signed a record just because I knew it would sell or to make money” – Matt Tolfrey
Decoded Radio hosted by Luke Brancaccio presents Calypso Records with Thomass Jackson & Iñigo Vontier
“I moved from San Francisco to Miami and realised that there needed to be a change in the music scene in Miami and I opened up Do Not Sit On The Furniture” – Behrouz
“Art is always about something. And that can be very conscious or it can be very abstract, so I’m always trying to express something through every composition that I make” – Koichi
“When sending demos, introduce yourself, write something short about yourself or why you think your music fits with the label. Be patient, don’t try to force stuff.” – Sonic Union
Cologne based Jannowitz Records have garnered several of India’s top Techno guards for their next release ‘India Calling EP’
“As DJs we felt the need to have the missing tune we were looking for in our records bags. From this idea we created something groovy and dark with afro influences” – Pastaboys
“The Roland Juno 106 brought so much warmth to our music we used it in almost every single track. Speaking for myself, I think that the Juno 106 carries emotional contents like melancholia, confidence, and hope in our music” – Langenberg
“The one thing that hasn’t changed is my passion to make people dance. I don’t think that part will ever change” – Rick Pier O’Neil
“I know people have their opinion on Ibiza being ‘not the same as it was’. If Ibiza was still the same as it was say 20 years ago, would it still have the same magic?” – Alice Clark
“It’s always a great feeling to see artists you admire playing your tracks at huge events or festivals” – Matteo Floris
“I am quite happy with not sticking with what things sounded like 10 years ago and being part of the evolution of this sound.” – Flashmob
“Seeing people dancing is our life, when we can do it with our own music, it makes us complete” – Armonica
“It’s been really fun working throughout this year. It was probably one of the best and effective years in my professional career” – Spartaque
“The music industry is a bit like an apprenticeship really, you start at the bottom and have to go through all these experiences to get where you want to be” – Vibe Killers
Incroyable Music’s Fabio Montana, Bellville, Dopish, Fennec & Wolf pick their top 3 past, present & future tracks
“Music is an art form of expression, it should bring the inner side of an artist to the surface and give the world an insight of his vision, it is a form of communication” – Martin Landsky
“We only met around nine months ago at a house party about half a mile from where I live in West London. Several drinks later, we made a plan to have a jam in the studio, and after six afternoon sessions, ‘Oblivion’ was conceived” – Luke Brancaccio and Simon Berry
“Electronic music is an open system that is able to include every influence and background. While the Can generation needed to rebel against conventions, todays classically educated musicians don’t have do decide between tradition and subculture” – Gregor Schwellenbach
“Quality control is definitely a term that can be used which we have and still are developing in our productions and DJ sets” – Roygreen & Protone
Martin Kleinert – Nothing is better than playing your own music in a club and to feel the beautiful moment when you recognise that the people love it.
Meet our new Future Leader Lauren Lo Sung – It fascinated me how playing records could have so much control over a crowd, how a room full of strangers would come together and dance until sunrise.
Underlord – Promoters need to get some balls and book a DJ who is good at DJing, DJ’s are getting booked because they have 900,000 likes on facebook. Its ridiculous. Everyone knows 99% of those likes are fake.

“Ecstasy played a massive role in Dance Music history and it did more for the peace process in Northern Ireland than any politician ever did.” – Mark Craven
