Derrick May
Leading purveyor of the "techno" genre, he and band of brothers Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, began their quest together in the early eighties. Music was their alterior motivation to the grimey streets of Detroit and their answer to the decrepit existence of such an industrial landscape. It was this and the soul of motown, parliament funk, and moody soundscapes that their music came alive and began to reach the world. A cutting edge dj and producer, Derrick continues to woo fans the world over.

DJ Bone
To some he is the champion of the underground. Others see him for the first time and ask the person dancing like crazy next to them, "Where did THIS guy come from?" Think of Detroit Techno and DJ Bone might not be high on your list of luminaries because he is 100% independent and does things on his terms and on his terms only. He won't tap dance or bend to fit the "popular" dj mold. Those who recognize Bone know him for his uncompromising and innovative ways.

Skudge
Machines do speak a language understood and appreciated by humans. Measured by the success of Skudge, an artistic duo that has delivered a lot in a very short time. Combining their inspiration and talent through wires and analogue equipment, they seem to always present something new - in a very faithful style. What remains most significant on their output through the main label Skudge Records, as well as their remix material present on a row of different labels, it must be their exceptional sense of loops and unexpected detail in their productions.
