The Potbelleez

"The fastest rising stars of the dance scene" – Tim Duggan (Rolling Stone) When freakish talent is mixed with fate, there’s no telling what can happen. Dishing up breathtaking DJ sets over 6 dex, touring the world and producing the duuuurtiest damn house music your ears have ever heard, the Potbelleez have a sixth sense for what makes the dancefloor swoon. Many would say it was destiny. Dave Goode and Jonny Sonic – both Irishmen looking for a new start in the Antipodes – left their homeland in 2001/2 respectively.

Worakls

French whiz kid of 23 years only, Worakls is one of these artists whose music is organic. Stemming from musicians' family, he learns the piano from the age of 3 years. Having studied to the academy, its knowledge goes beyond the electronics, and allows him to create compositions which can’t be defined by a style. His music is powerful, dreamlike and sophisticated. It draws its strength from the synthesis of a multitude of kinds and periods. As if Mozart and Rolling Stones had been made an appointment some years later...
