Sonny Black

In 2002 Bushido released the album "Carlo, Cokxxx, Nutten" under his pseudonym, Sonny Black (arguably in the same manner as Eminem), in which he worked with Fler. The name would appear to be a nod towards his American musical influence; in that country, Sonny Black was the mafia nickname of notorious Bonanno crime family mobster Dominick Napolitano. In 2003 he released the solo album Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline. It was an enormous success for what was still basically an underground release.

Kiki Pau

Kiki Pau is a lovable exception in today’s music scene. The band has been labeled an over-trendy indie group from Helsinki’s Punavuori, but Kiki Pau is in fact as organic as a rock group can be in today’s world. Influenced by 1980s and ‘90s alternative rock and 1960s and ‘70s classic pop, Kiki Pau gathered a wealth of positive attention from both critics and music bloggers two years ago with their ironically named debut "Let's Rock".

Daniel Dexter

Daniel Dexters connection to the music can be pursued back into the 80's. After he became enthusiastic at first for Punk, he discovered gradually the fascination which radiated from the new electronic music. Particularly both the measure-compatible and radical Melange from pop- and machinelike sound of acts like Kraftwerk, New Order or Depeche mode shaped him strongly. This fascination found its continuation in the 90's with the new electronic Pop Acts such as Daft Punk or the Chemical Brothers. Both his own productions and DJ sets reflect all these influences again.
