 | | M A R K O B O K U N / PAST ARTIST | Direction: Downbeat, Electronica, Pop Releases: I Forgot My Name (2009 Past Album), The Dremthief (2009 Maxi), Compilationtracks: Breeze (2009), Romance (2010), Run and Run (2010), Badly (2010), Familiar (2010) Marko Bokun is one of these highly talented musicians and producers who kept working behind the hypes & scenes for a lot of years. So it’s even more amazing that many well-known producers have used his work and samples without actually knowing him. His samples were used by bands like Duplex Inc. or Blank & Jones and his music was performed in numerous TV broadcasts as well.
The reason for working more or less in the background at that time was that Bokun had found his purpose and satisfaction as an artist by making sample-lybaries (Ueberschall) for producers for several years. After that an even more creative working period began. Bokun decided to improve and develop his own musical style. You might know Marko Bokun from various releases on labels such as Kontor Records (Sunset Chill), Audiopharm SPV (Afrotronic/ Brazilectro), Watermusic Records and some others. As they were making their way to a lot of play lists, Bokun’s remixes for Brown, Smith & Grey and Deja-Move brought him some attention. With the side project "B&B" together with Aaron Bingle both musicians created some real beautiful pearls of music. Their title "Without You" has been licensed to Sunday in Bed / Clubstar.

Direction: Deep House, Electro Releases: From The Livingroom To The Dancefloor - The Deep & Modern Session (2011 Maxi) Marc Deal was born and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, before moving to Europe, or more specifically, Germany in his youth. He has been DJing, producing and singing since ages, amongst other things as one half of Maniax with Electro Ferris.
Marc Deal was a tender 13 years old when he acquired his first cassette tape of industrial techno. This proved the catalyst for his love affair with the "techno" phenomenon which was exploding across Europe. In 1991 he made his first trip to the Love Parade and CSD in Berlin, life-changing experiences for so many musicmakers in the past decade. Making music is a rocky, yet blissful path as Marc well knows, a world of long nights, long drinks and long-legged ladies. Marc Deal tracks are destined to be seen as timeless expressions of artistic creativity.
Under the Maniax moniker, co-productions with Stefan Bodzin, Oliver Huntemann, D.I.M. and Tobitob from Moonbootica have propelled the pair well and truly into the limelight. Meanwhile, Electro Ferris has also joined the ranks of Deichkind and Mr. Deal is similarly an artist in his own right, making tracks and doing remixes, as well as lending his vocal talents to tracks by another dynamic duo, Moonbootica, both in the studio and on stage. You can see him performe live on stage as a singer (SonneMondSterne) or visit him and listen to one of his heavy dj sets in every good club in Germany, or specially in the Baalsaal / Hamburg.

They have had releases under their synonym R & W on Ministry of Sound, Polystar Records and GOGO Music. While pausing as a team,both protagonists concentrated on their own ways (song writing and production for shorts films, TV and commercials). In 2009 Ruther and Wemuth decided to reunite and started their project 'Serwo Schamutzki & Kosta Aldente'. As producers and dj-team their sound is deep, moving and big. They deliver one floorfiller after the other and make the mob dance. You can call their sets dirty (schmutzig) and 'al dente'. By the way, with 'Aufgetischt' ('served') Serwo delivers a remarkable mix series close to the project sound.

| Direction: Downbeat, Hip Hop Compilation-Tracks: Ultrasound feat. Joy Jones (2011) / Truth In Spirit (2010) Terence Yoshiaki is one of the members who founded the multiplatinum group The Black Eyed Peas. He wrote songs and toured with the band and received a 2004 Grammy nomination for the co-writing of 'Let's Get It Started'. Before that he was a National Director of Radio Promotion at Virgin Records, which may be the reason why he became such a powerful drummer & writer.
The story of success continued with his Transcenders production unit. Together with his partners, Yoshiaki wrote & produced music for TV shows (Gossip Girl, Abc´s 20/20) and movies (Garfield 2) in L.A. Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures. Even Microsoft & Volkswagen belong to their client list.
Yoshiaki is also running the project Channel Two, together with his partner Bingle from Germany. Their first album was released on Kajmere records, getting equal share of Hip Hop, Soul, and instrumental Nu Soul Jazz, all within a Dance and Pop sensibility that could easily cross over to a larger commercial radio audience. Their first cooperation track 'Across Waters', has since been released on various compilations in both Europe and the U.S. Channel Two Music was played by Gilles Peterson (BBC), got voted by Producer & Dj Quantic and was featured in the latest Chris Rock movie.
