Hannubal

Listen – Beatport

Hi, I am Hannu Rekilä, an electric music composer working with the artist name Hannubal. I was born in Finland on 15th of November 1984. My music genre is usually melodic trance. I started my first music making in 2005, when I was studying radio work, photographing and other media stuff in Oulu. I first used the music software FL Studio for my hobby, and soon became to make music for some short movies and school projects with my friends.

In around 2006 I met David Koonen through Internet Relay Chat, and we started to make our first projects then. I got some better music softwares for my computer like Cubase and ever since I have been trying to make the electric songs as professional as possible. At the same time I studied to be a radio reporter in Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences.

My first published songs were in David Koonen’s album called “Tomorrow”, released around 2010. That album included a song called “Flying over Europe”, which was composed by me and mixed by David. It was also on a short movie called “Grandmother’s Mushroom Soup”, directed by Joonas Makkonen.

In 2011 I made another album with David called “David Koonen vs. Hannubal”. Around this time I also graduated from the university, and worked as a radio reporter in Finnish broadcasting company Yle.

At the moment I am working on my first solo records, and the first single is almost finished now. Working with Aardvark Records and David Koonen I will be releasing more new music in the coming years. I hope you enjoy my music.

2006 was the year that saw Psytrance DJ and Producer Jeff Alford break out into the international dance music scene with his album “Heart of Trance” and his award winning video to the album’s first single “Visions in Space”. However, his story started much earlier.

1998 was the year when Alford was part of a Hip-Hop band called Little Buddha in Lebanon. The experience gave Alford the confidence he needed to go solo. In 2002, after intensively studying the recording arts in America, Alford released his debut album “Down To Earth”.   The 30 track Hard Trance/Hard House) double album was released through his own Jamixart Productions label.

His trance track “Reaching the Top” was selected for inclusion on the “Hot Clubbing Vol.5” dance compilation CD in 2003 with 1.3 million copies released. ‘Hot Clubbing’ was released in conjunction with The Daily Star & The Express newspapers in the UK. The mix was also selected as background music for the television advertising campaign, which included broadcasters such as MTV, Paramount, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky One.

Alford licensed the album “Down to Earth” to Nonego Records in 2004.  The track “Feeling The Energy” from the album appeared on the “Psychic Vol.1” compilation release and Red Earth Studios Ltd (Powerboat P1 World Championship Mid-Season-Review).  5 mixes from the album were selected for the background music broadcast on Sky Sports, and The Sailing Channel).

Austin, TX to Atlanta, GA, to New York City then back home to Austin, TX, Reginald Todd has pursued his musical aspirations wherever his spirit beckoned him. In the process of this pursuit, his exposure to an eclectic mix of genres and artists has transformed his music production and songwriting skills. Never content being a one trick pony, Reginald Todd has molded himself into an artist who transitions fluidly from Soulful R&B to Pop to Dance to Jazz and even Country music. Reginald Todd’s belief that “versatility is key” is what allows him the flexibility to not only work with a wider range of artists, but also to infuse a wider range of musicality and his “signature style and sound” into each musical project. It was this signature sound and his remix material in New York that caught the ear of David Koonen at Aardvark Records. Under the guidance of David Koonen, Reginald Todd created the material that would eventually become his debut EP release on Aardvark Record’s label. “This is a dream come true for me! I am so grateful to David for believing in me and giving me the opportunity I’ve worked so hard for!” says Reginald. With the firm backing of Aardvark Records and David Koonen, Reginald Todd is poised to take over the dance charts and dance floors all over the world! If you don’t know his name now, you will very soon!

He only plays a few times a week so that when he plays, he can make the difference. His opinion is that as a Dj you have to be a part of the party and team with the audience. You need to be informed about your audience, so that you can give them exactly what they need. This makes every party or celebration different. At the end of the day it’s all about going home with a fullfilled feeling by expressing yourself.

Staedler & Waldorf

Listen – Reverbnation

The breaks and drum and bass fusion act Staedler & Waldorf are a squelchy Welshy band with more styles than a Run Run Shaw flick.  Rough in the jungle, the dancehall and the house, Staedler & Waldorf growl from the stalls, making their namesake look like a rubbish salad and a biro that never works when you’re trying to write a ‘to do’ list. This is ‘music that fucks you on the dancefloor’ according to a post on their MySpace page.  This is grimy, pulsating, electronica from the home of Clarke’s pies and Shirley Bassey.

Steve Jones has been producing music for more than 20 years, his first five releases as Groovy Onion all placed in the top 5 in the dance chart and secured remix projects for Lee Coombes.

Paul Smith and Steve Jones have worked together on various projects for over nine years.  As DBOOGA, they played Glastonbury for 3 years running and now, as Staedler & Waldorf, they’ve teamed up with Lacey Chaiff, and performed for pigs all around space with the equivalent eclecticism of a George Clinton hairdo.

Timeliner

Listen – Beatport

Since his childhood, Goa and Psytrance producer Christoph Allemann (a.k.a Timeliner) has been fascinated with the world of synthesizers and electronic sounds.

In his early days, he composed his own songs and had fun to playing them to audiences at school.

In 1995 the upcoming techno-scene in Switzerland inspired him to do some live-acts at Goa-parties with what was then some pretty basic equipment: a ROLAND TB 303, MC 202, TR 808 and a Clavia Nordlead. These helped him to discover his musical orientation.

Only a few years later, he dared to do the next step. Using some new tools, he found new ways to sculpt his own sound: with computer, plugins, new synthesizers and the technical support from his brother Thomas Allemann (a.k.a Duneflyer www.duneflyer.com ), Over the years Christoph has developed his own style and has released great albums since.

Urban Razz Collectiv is a collaboration between Robert Soeterbroek (producer) and Arno van Duin (Vocals). Both active in the music-scene for quite some time now, things were coming together finally when they decided to start working together. And what a mind-blowing encounter it is. For once and for all enriching the face of music. The sounds and songs Urban Razz Collectiv launches into orbit can best be described as “neither flesh nor fowl”.
Open your mind and let their fresh smoothly tunes connect to your soul. Let their sun enlighten your darkness.

Yuto

Listen – Reverbnation

Yuto is a Electronic Dance Music producer and DJ hailing from Japan.
While he had no formal music production education, Yuto knew that he wanted to create music for as many people as would listen. So he studied up on how DJ’s and producers make music, and found a program that he could work with. After countless hours of fidling around with many knobs and modulators he finally created something that sounded good to him…..and he’s been cranking out big rave tunes ever since.
While creating big room bangers is his main passion, the DJing aspect of the EDM scene always fascinated him as well. So he bought some cdj’s and a mixer and started taking gigs wherever he could find them. He hopes one day to make it as a big DJ/Producer and until that time he will just keep doing what he loves.

Zetan Spore

Listen&Watch – Zetan’s Website

In 1995 the band Zetan Spore formed in West Cornwall. The band’s originator Ian Hasdell was inspired by psychedelic rock in the late 80’s and it’s evolution into early dance acts such as Eat Static and Astralasia, which brought about the new genre of Psytrance in the first half of the 90’s.

Starting with a second hand Amiga 1200 computer, Ian started arranging samples for his own psychedelic dance music.

After releasing his first album called Alien Frequencies in 1996 and then getting heavily into the world of synths and sampling, Ian’s twin brother Mark came on board playing guitar and didgeridoo to form their unique synergistic partnership.

Zetan Spore then brought out an album Visitation in 1997 and were then signed to Aardvark Records, where they have so far released another ten albums spanning two decades starting with The Pillars of Creation in 1998 up to their most recent, Dimensions, in 2018.

More motivated by the live side of music since their first gig in 1997, Zetan Spore are now known as one of the few live Psytrance acts on the regular festival circuit, as they have kept their live performance almost entirely hardware based, using synths and samplers with the guitars and didgeridoo as well as computer technology.

The highlights of Zetan Spore’s extensive live performances include playing to a 25,000 strong crowd at the Euphoria Festival in Singapore and a high altitude set in the Swiss Alps. Zetan Spore have also performed at festivals such as Waveform, Beautiful Days, Sunrise and Bearded Theory.

Zetan Spore’s music is energetic and positive Psytrance with didgeridoo-fuelled tribal breaks and guitar riffs adding to the electronic side of the music. They have built up an enthusiastic live audience with their unique sound and are dancefloor pleasers.
