Kitsune
This is Kitsune the artist - not the label.
We Are Knights
We Are Knights are a new band hailing from France. They are a three-piece band comprising of Jean-Marc Battalier, Guilhem Hatt and Gaelle Malandrone. With every track they produce this band impress me whether it’s a stripped down slow track with a compelling beat or a pulsating electronic track with punching sounds. The band have recently been part of the album Kituné Parisien II with their track Tears featuring at track number nine on the reputable Kitsuné compilation. It is a very impressive track which is already one of my favourite synth tracks so far this year.
Playgroup
There are, at least, three artists known as Playgroup. 1) A pseudonym of London, UK electroclash / electro house producer & graphic designer Trevor Jackson (aka UNDERDOG). Jackson also ran, the now defunct, Output Recordings. Discography: Make It Happen! (2000), Playgroup (2001, brought diverse influences, inc: funk, disco, hip-hop, electro & dub - creating an album that relies heavily on the past, only to reshape, with such vigour, that it might sound too modern, for its own good), several more releases followed, Reproduction (2004, a remix album) & Front 2 Back (feat. KC Flightt, 2006),
Beataucue
Médéric and Alexis are made of electricity and can be considered as the sons of electronic music. These two French guys from the Normandy countryside started producing music at home in their bedroom, in Caen. They first hit the danse floor with remixes of the likes of Noob & Brodinski – Peanuts Club and Major Lazer – Pon De Floor and we bet you’ll be crushed by their fresh and screamy productions.
Hey Today!
Hey Today! A fresh new producer project consisting of two heads who prove again that their creative skills are a result of turntablism and music loving.

Ruede Hagelstein
Born in the rural area outside Berlin, Ruede Hagelstein moved to the centre of bleeping Berlin eight years ago. After jobs at night-guide magazines and starting his own partyforum www.restrealitaet.de, he finds himself in the middle of the electronic music.
His productions transformed from disco-electro to a more minimalistic house and techno sound, and were supported by Sven Vath and Michael Mayer. Ruede holds residencies in Berlin's Watergate club and Dusseldorf's Harpune.
