MONOLINK
ABOUT
Singer-songwriter and electronic music producer. To many that might sound like two very different aspects of modern sound culture - which in turn makes Monolink a fascinating character, because he's both rolled into one. His style seamlessly connects the narrative structure of a song with the compelling forward thrust of electronic rhythms. Guitar chords merge into synthetic pad sounds, hypnotic bass vibrations meet emotional vocal parts, passionate physicality meets sublime stimulation for the mind.
WHOMADEWHO
ABOUT
A consistently inventive outfit, WhoMadeWho use their pedigrees in rock, jazz, experimental music, and dance to keep their music fresh.
When the Danish trio emerged in the mid-2000s, their fusion of punk, funk, and disco on releases like 2005's WhoMadeWho was in line with the indie-meets-dance trends of the time.
As the years passed, however, their drive to innovate set them apart from many of the groups from that era. On 2009's The Plot, they added prog and surf rock to their eclectic array of influences, while the companion albums Knee Deep (2011) and Brighter (2012) showcased the breadth of their emotional range.
Later in the 2010s, the band balanced albums of song-oriented pop such as 2014's Dreams with mix albums for esteemed dance labels like Get Physical.
By the time of 2020's Synchronicity, WhoMadeWho had created a space between the club and indie scenes that was entirely their own.

ADAM PORT
ABOUT
Over the last years, Adam landed a string of much noticed releases on different labels, be it on Keinemusik, his Berlin-based label-mainstay or imprints like Freerange, Pets, Cocoon, Moon Harbour, etc.
It was tunes that immediately brought worldwide attention to his name. But then, instead of doing the obvious, getting a management, meeting demands, playing those big stages, delivering the hits, Adam once again did what felt best for him.
Maintaining artistic integrity, releasing records that reflect where his love for music is at in one moment, not knowing where it might be on the very next release, and keeping DJ-sets not only interesting for a crowd, but also himself. That’s where he is at right now.

LITOS
ABOUT
Carlos Heredia was drawn to djing and mixing while in London back in 2010. As his passion for music continued to thrive, he delved into varying styles and genres to craft his adventure in sound as a musical artist.
In 2011 he ventured off to Berlin and there discovered his zest for instrumental ethereal sounds with hints of electronic. Over the years, he quietly fine-tuned his skills and abilities. His roots called him home and he flourished in the music scene in Tulum, Mexico, where he developed the sound you hear him play today.
Varying from House, Deep House, Melodic Techno, to Downtempo, you can catch him in Tulum, Mexico, to deliver his ethereal sounds as a resident at Papaya Playa Project.
