Technotronic

Technotronic is a studio-based house music project from Belgium, formed by Jo Bogaert (a.k.a. Thomas De Quincey) in 1988. Together with Ya Kid K (born Manuela Kamosi, 1973, Zaire), he produced the hit single Pump Up The Jam which was originally intended as an instrumental. An image for the act was put together utilizing Zairian-born fashion model Felly (allegedly without her permission) as its album and single cover art and "singer" in the music video. Ya Kid K went on to provide vocals on several other Technotronic tracks.

Doc Martin

The Doc began his mission on the decks back in the summer of 1986. His focus on house music from the land of funk and disco, was triggered while playing the club and warehouse scene in San Francisco. As one of the major players in laying the foundations of a strong West Coast dance scene, Doc has always been a master of mixing the crowd with the music. Neatly avoiding pigeonholing, while embracing a myriad of different styles, his set creates a warm unique vibe of empathy on the dance floor.

Info_Cifon

nfo_Cifon produces and composes Electro with abstract arrangements, pointing to a diverse range of influences. These are highlighted by an amalgam of styles, manifesting as angular, layered tones and rhythms, composed to have maximum impact in any environment. Characteristically Info_Cifon's arrangements are constructed from Modular foundations then built up with other forms of synthesis and distinctive programming techniques. Fundamentally, the various styles are tonal metaphors of a disdain for global institutions, govenments and diplomats with their own vested interests.
