Liberty of Action

thebosshoss1 

The BossHoss have long since established themselves as one of the most innovative and compelling live acts in the European live music-landscape. The guys have recently taken the German charts by storm with their latest top 5
album ‘Liberty Of Action‘ which has remained at the very peaks of charts for the last 13 months. Additionally the band has enjoyed huge success thanks to their charismatic appearances as coaches on the block-busting television talent show ‘The Voice Of Germany‘ (TVOG) – reaching over 5 million viewer twice weekly! Internationally, in their sweat drenched whirlwind performances The BossHoss seem as much at home on the huge stages of festivals such as Download, Rock Am Ring, Rock Im Park, Wacken, Azkena Rock or Novarock, as they do in the intimate context of indie clubs like King Tut's, Glasgow, Dingwalls, London, the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto, or the Continental Club, Austin Texas...
thebosshoss2 thebosshoss3
True to tradition, rock’n’ roll and showbusiness still seem to have their own way of writing the best plots: seven cowboys + seven years of rock n roll= seven gold- and platinum awards.

Stereo MC'S

on .

stereoMCs220px

There’s a point, when you’re in a certain headspace, where you feel you can actually do anything we want to do, and not really have any preconception about it,” says Nick Hallam. And for him and his long-time Stereo MCs partner, Rob Birch, their journey into sound has been constantly defined by the battles they’ve had to fight for creative freedom – not with record companies or industry figures, but from the pressures they put themselves under. To many pop fans, the Stereos are the group who burned bright in the early ’90s, when their third LP, Connected, won two Brit Awards and shifted millions of copies, and who then disappeared for the next decade. But as their new album, The Emperor’s Nightingale, suggests, the true story is much more complicated – and far more fascinating – than that.

DelaDap

deladap1

DelaDap could have taken „Conversations Of A Music Group" as the new title of their fourth album, but it was lacking the punch of „I Know What You Want" (besides being too laid-back to fit these lively sounds!). The title of the new album speaks for itself and offers an insight into the process that led to these 11 new songs.

Yes, of course there was a lot of hard work involved on the behalf of Vienna-based DJ, producer and musician Stani Vana and the stellar cast of musicians, many of them coming from neighbouring countries like Hungary or Serbia and sharing a historical connection with Austria´s capital that has lately developed into a vibrant and diverse cultural melting pot.

Besides all the work involved, there was also a lot of playfulness. The song-titles and lyrics are inspired by the light-hearted conversations between vocal takes, when Melinda Stoika took cues from Vana´s comments. „Let´s Go Inside" may have been said when Melinda reentered the vocal booth, but it soon took a life of its own. A perfect setting for DelaDap ´s music, which started bringing Eastern European music and modern/urban club sounds together in 2004 and has ever since evolved into the unique and life-affirming music you are about to hear.

Starboy's Steampunk Burlesque Circus

starboy1

"Starboy" is an inter-dimensional freedom fighter, travelling through space and time laying out progressive psychedelic rock sounds.

His first mini-movie "Eternity" opens on a flat planet with rennaissance steampunk technology, where a small child watches an ominous ship approaching from space and rendering the population unconscious with an enormous energy weapon, beginning an epic 3 part sci-fi adventure movie that could only have sprung from "Middle Earth" New Zealand's Film Industry.

DidgEra Australia

on .

didgera-davejohnson

“Performer , teacher, composer and recording artist, Dave Johnson is a multi-instrumentalist since age 10, bringing his passion for music alive on the street or stage in a versatile performance.”

As a soloist, Dave plays several instruments simultaneously while combining a unique blend of percussive and melodic rhythms over which he alternates the deep piercing of the didgeridoo with the jazz-affiliated saxophones, or the more meditative Native American Flute.
The result is a wholesome, penetrating explosion of sound and rhythm that awakens in the audience a soul-filled feeling.

The Lost Boyz [UK]

  • Matt Emulsion (DJ)
  • El Dubz Stuntman Lee Shemmings (DJ)
  • Ryan B (Poison DJ)
  • Stevie (DJ)
  • Tonik (MC)
  • Danny Del'Amore (Vocalist)
  • Slim Bubba (MC)
  • Wayne Dudley (DJ)

The Lost Boyz are a collective of DJ's and vocalists from the UK who have played in some of the biggest and best clubs in Europe, they have three main aims 1: To make people dance. 2: To make people smile. And 3: To have a great time. All the members are great friends and all were part of legendary radio station Force FM.

This year there will be 6dj's and 2 vocalists all performing together to create a sound and visual display like no other, each member contributes something different to the team and adds his own unique flare and style,

In Matt Emulsion's own words: "Most people when they go to a club or festival see one or two dj's performing on a set but never a whole collective, The Lost Boyz give you something that you have never seen before. When you look to the dj booth and you see up to 10 dj's and live vocals at the same time, you are witnessing something that no one else does, we very rarely plan exactly what we do as it's more of a challenge to see which musical direction the last dj will go. This year at the World Bodypainting Festival we are upping our game yet again, every year the festival gets bigger and better and it's our job to keep the crowd happy so expect to SEE and HEAR a few surprises". 


Lords of House - [Austria]

Udo Moritz was an inspiring influence for founding the"WBF sound.institute". His feel for music, his vision and his dedication were already a large part of the festival and will have a growing influence in areas of the event. Udo began as a DJ in 1989 playing in small pubs in Spittal, South of Austria. The first real mixing techniques were learned very young. Over the years he has played almost all musical dirrections that have been important in the club scene but always with a central core of house music in all its facets inspiring him further. He has played for audiences of thousands in Austria as well as in the World Cup stadium in South Korea. For many years Udo has tried to pass on his musical knowledge and experience to interested followers in the dj field. In teaching he has found a new inspiration to hold him to the house music comunity. Working together with the "WBF sound.institute", international activities and workshops to the theme of DJing and music will be held.

Ruuk - [Mybeat, Austria]

Bereits seit einigen Jahren wirbelt der gebürtige Wiener die verschiedensten Clubveranstaltungen & Festivals auf. Seine stets abwechslungsreichen Dj Sets integrieren vorallem Housemusic aus dem Tech- Deep- & Discoiden Bereich und sorgen für "good Vibes" auf jeder Tanzfläche. Zu seinen Auftraggebern konnte Ruuk die angesehensten Clubs des Landes wie zB Pratersauna, Volksgarten, Flex und dem Sass Music Club für sich gewinnen. Auf der international bekannten Life Ball Party, dem World Bodypainting Festival und dem Nuke Festival, aber auch außerhalb Österreichs - in Spanien, Deutschland und Tschechien (Stichwort: Creamfields Festival) - sorgte er für unvergessliche Partynächte. 2008 stieg Markus beim Event & Musiklabel "MyBeat" ein, bei dem er bis heute zuzsammen mit seinen 2 Partnern Henry & Smoove erfolgreich regelmäßige Clubevents in Wien veranstaltet. Dabei hat sich der Sass Music Club zu einer Art Homebase entwickelt. Seit 2011 findet dort auch seine eigene monatliche Veranstaltung Namens "Wundertüte" statt. Beim österreichischen Radiosender FM4 findet man Ruuk gemeinsam mit der "MyBeat" - Crew in regelmäßigen Abständen bei Live - Hosts in der "Digital Konfusion Mixshow". Von seinem Talent und individuellem Musikgeschmack konnten sich bereits DJ Größen wie James Zabiela, Terrence Parker, Audiofly, Ian Pooley und Gramophonidzie (etc) bereits auf gemeinsamen Gigs überzeugen.

Listen to Ruuk's promo clip "Winter Wundertüte"

ruuk-wundertuete

In the age of 16 Ruuk bought his first turntables and some records. At that time he played at small bars and clubs. It's difficult to describe his style, because he plays a lot of different music with an attention on techhouse. Ruuk got his first international gigs in summer 07 at Ibiza in Spain. He played and rocked the Subsonic Underground Clubboat, and 3 times the "Silent Party" at the new opened club called "Heaven" He has already played in the most important clubs all over Austria like Flex, Volksgarten, Passage, Roxy, and many many more!
