“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

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 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

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.

“I always had the feeling and I still believe that 2 hours is not long enough to show the people your musical journey. I didn’t fully enjoy it to only play for a few hours, so I decided to create a night where the DJ takes the people by their hands from the beginning till the end of the night. This way you can create a unique and strong link with the crowd” – Lehar Priya Sen 2 months ago
