» DJ Paul Edge

pic_pe.jpg

DJ Paul Edge is The Shaman DJ. Born in London and raised in Limerick, Ireland, where from a young age he was immersed in Irish Music. He simultaneously headlined and promoted one of the United Kingdom’s longest-running and most successful club nights, The Outer Limits, while creating and performing music that is still heralded for putting a permanent thumb print on the Underground Dance Scene. A voracious blogger and anti-war campaigner, Paul Edge achieved global recognition for his "We Will Not Be Silenced" agit-prop movies. On October 31 2008, Paul Edge made a cameo appearance on the number 1 TV show in the world, "CSI-Las Vegas, episode 9.04, Let It Bleed" , where his music was also featured. Well known for his dislike of publicity, Paul Edge remains one of the most reclusive DJs and Record producers in the world.

In 1995 under the name Twister, Paul Edge released the single "Metamorphosis of Narcotics" on Belgium's Nitric Records. Although never released outside of the Benelux, the track identified Paul Edge as a producer to watch and almost 15 years later, Metamorphosis is still hailed as one of the top Trance recordings of all time. In 1996 Paul Edge..s second release on Nitric, Paradoxical Paradigms firmly establishes him as one of Europe's most innovative producers.

In 1997, Paul Edge’s The Outer Limits co-promotes the first annual World Trance Festival, in Toronto, with Destiny Promotions. The three-day event features nearly 100 artists and is, at the time, the largest dance festival in city history. The festival became infamous as the "Tornado Rave", when on the opening night, 3 tornadoes surrounded the valley in which the event was taking place. Despite the devastation caused, the second night proceeded as scheduled after the Toronto ravers surrounded the site and provided light from their cars to allow the organisers to rebuild the main stage. 2007 marks the World Trance Festival’s 10th Anniversary. Paul Edge makes his first US appearance, headlining to a sellout crowd in New York City at the Roxy for US promoters, Phato. A year later, The Outer Limits and Phato co-promoted the Galaxy Project, At New York City’s Twilo nightclub (capacity: 1,000), DJ Paul Edge performs a headlining set in front of a packed crowd of 3,000. Despite the overflow crowd (more than 5,000 are turned away at the door) city officials let the infamous night go on, which it does incident-free.

Despite having considerable success with his two releases on Nitric and pushing the growing British techno-funk and tech-house movement through The Outer Limits, in what has become his trademark of moving forwards musically , Paul Edge released "Sequence 23" which is the debut release on his own Response Audio record label, which later becomes RAD23. The impact was such that producers such as Michel De Hey and Laurent Garnier quickly moved their support behind it and within a matter of months, the main track was remixed by Dave Angel and The Sound Associates. Torn between the demands on his time as a DJ and producer, in 2000 Paul Edge decided to terminate The Outer Limits, but not before a a 12-city tour of North America. Attendance tops 20,000. The Outer Limits Tour features Paul Edge and The Advent live. The final show, held in Halifax, Nova Scotia for Massive Productions in front of a 3000 plus crowd, causes Tony Hage, owner of Massive Productions to state that “Paul Edge played arguably the best set in the 12 year history of the respected Halifax electronic scene".

In 2001, Paul Edge releases "Wappi" on his RAD23 label. In 2004, legendary Techno DJ Dave Clark calls the track "an immensely-powerful drum workout that pays homage to the Chicago-jacking grooves that have inspired us all," and adds: "It has also been a secret part of my armory for many years."Between 2001 and 2004, Wappi is one of Dave Clarke's most played tracks. In fall 2001, Edge headlines the U.S. atop the Nintendo Cube Tour. The tour’s final stop is a week-long, eight-hour-a-day DJ engagement at the Mall of America, in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN.

In 2002 and 2003, Paul Edge once again toured the USA. The Nintendo Cube Tour had seen another change in Paul Edge musically, as he now became the first DJ to bring the emerging Electro-Clash sound to North America, DJ Paul Edge introduces the style to United States crowds on his Remote Control tour, with Keoki in support. In the words of DJ Simon Patee (Redux on XM Radio and promoter of Washington DC..s legendary "Sleaze" nights)"Paul Edge made jaws drop during his debut performance at Buzz [December 2001]. His techno electro-fusion [electro-clash] sound was still largely unknown, and pushing labels like Gigolo to an uneducated U.S. crowd was indeed groundbreaking, but that is what makes Paul Edge such a good DJ. From being one of the first DJs to play Trance in Canada in 1995, to introducing tech house to a packed Twilo crowd, Paul Edge consistently treads where others fear to go. Perhaps his lack of worldwide ‘fame’ stems from the fact that once other DJs catch on, he..s already moved on."

As one of the first DJs to embrace online culture, 2003 also sees Paul Edge take on established opinion by releasing "Live In Phoenix" as an internet-only, free download. The 90-minute mix is downloaded more than 5.0 million times worldwide. The Wappi Remixes are released on RAD23 with remixes from Edge, Andreas Kaufelt and The Horrorist. A limited edition remix release of Metamorphosis of Narcotics sells out. Featuring remixes from Edge and John Selway this is also the final release on RAD23. Live In Phoenix Volume 3 is released.

2010 will see a number of releases from Paul Edge. January sees the digital release of Wappi, complete with remixes from Paul, The Horrorist and Andreas Kaufelt. February sees the launch of Paul`s new label, PDM, with the first release called "The Shaman DJ". In March, the Metamorphosis of Narcotics remixes will be released on Bonzai Music, including 3 new mixes from Paul as well as guest mixes from John Selway and Yves Deruyters. April brings the second release on PDM called The Ritual and in May, the lead track on Paul`s upcoming album, Super Fantastic Easy Sex with guest vocals from The Horrorist, will be released on Bonzai Music.

Limited date tours to support Super Fantastic Easy Sex are planned for  2010.

A wide range of influences from Depeche Mode to Johnny Cash factor into Chesler's song writing manifesting into a completely original sound. His ability to make song structured music work on the dance floor is a big key to his success. His vocal technique is quite original and unique. He also refuses not to stick in one genre so on any given record expect styles from electro, ebm, techno, to synthpunk/hardcore.

Horrorist productions are known for being produced extremely well with lots of fancy tricks and effects. His music tech know how has led to interviews and endorsements by pro-audio companies such as TC Electronic and Linplug Instruments.

In 1997 Oliver Chesler started the hugely respected Things to Come Records. Originally a business decision to take control of his own royalties the label has also given The Horrorist and other TTC label artists freedom to produce the music they like.

They now have offices in New York City and Berlin, Germany. Oliver Chesler is one of the few artists and label-owners making something new, groundbreaking, and original that gets wider acclaim.

pic_paramedroid.jpg

Paramedroid`s inspiration for dancemusic started back in the mid 90's when going to squat parties like the big "Silo" in Amsterdam and other similar places.

At the age of 21 he bought his first synth and began finding out how to make electronic music. For the next 5 to 7 years he was only strugling with old secondhand cheap gear and trying out some different styles mostly acid/techno/underground.

Like many arists, Paramedroid has experienced the negative side of being a music producer, especially in electronic dance music, this all changed when Paul Hazendonk” of Basicbeats took an interest in his sound which inspired Paramedroid to continue with his production career.

As his production techniques improved, so did his ability to upgrade his studio. This is certainly reflected on his top-drawer remix of Super Fantastic Easy Sex.

He started mixing and making tracks in the late 1980's with some of his father's old gear that was lying around in the basement. What was originally a hobby quickly became on obsession and in 1992 he was able to scrape up enough money to buy his first drum machine - the rest is history.For many years Chicago's infamous Gramaphone records was his second home and allowed him to build friendships with some of the world's best DJ's & Producers.

» Nine vs. Ca-re

pic_care.jpg

Once, Stefan was a Heavy Metal enthusiast with heart and soul who never would have thought that
electronic beats instead of guitar riffs would once determine his musical life. What brought about this
change was simply a night out in one of the legendary techno clubs of the Sauerland – it must have
been in the mid nineties.
Fascinated by this new music he started collecting – beat by beat, record by record. In 1997 the time
had come, Stefan’s DJ career started to unfold. From 1999 on he started DJing with his long-term
partner Jörg as resident DJs of the club “Die Grube” – the moniker Thorin & B.L.E.E.F. was for many
years a famous household name. In 2000 the two released the higly acclaimed track “Weggebeamt”
on Tatsu Records. When Thorin & B.L.E.E.F. was put on hold the time had come for a musical
re-orientation and a new project: Dusty Beats were born out of an idea of Carsten and Stefan in his
living room in 2003. They released their first album “Unreleased” on their own initiative in 2005.
Apart from songwriting and producing, Stefan has specialized in final mixdowns, sound optimizing
and mastering.

Ca-re

Carsten alias Caré developed a love for vinyl records already in 1988 – only a few years later his record collection was obviously
dominated by electronic tracks. Already in the early nineties he developed a preference for progressive, technoid sounds.
In 1994 he had his debut as a DJ on the “Hangar Movement” in Fulda, since then he has spent innumerable nights behind the
decks of clubs in the Sauerland, Cologne and the Ruhrgebiet, at times as resident DJ of the Cologne club “Electric Larry”.
Later he became a fixed member of the parties of Sinn Tec Audio, Rheinfeuern or Delay Department. In 2009 he was part of
the Xenomorph Crew and performed at their floor during the “Ruhr in Love” festival.
His wish to produce his own tracks came true in 2003 when he founded Dusty Beats together with his Stefan.
With Dusty Beats he has since then played numerous live gigs. However, Caré with his grooving sounds and dusty beats is
still on the road in Northrine-Westphalia in the service of minimal techno.
