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 andsamples 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 hadfound his purpose and satisfaction as an artist by making samplelybaries forproducers for several years. After that an even more creative working periodbegan. Bokun decided to improve and develop his own musical style. You might know Marko Bokun from various releases on labels such as KontorRecords (Sunset Chill), Audiopharm SPV (Afrotronic/ Brazilectro), Watermusic Records and some others. As they weremaking their way to a lot of play lists, Bokun’s remixes for Brown, Smith & Grey and Deja-Move brought him some attention.

Album: Tales from the Country/ City (2010)

Tobitob (Tobias Schmidt) started his career in the German Hip-Hop scene with his first project Der Tobi & Das Bo back in the 90-ies. The follow-up-formation 5 Sterne deluxe released their first album Silium in 1998, entering the charts and being incredibly successful for a German independent music production. In the meantime Tobi produced the German Rapper Ferris Mc (Reimemonster). With the 'Discotizer' (a fictional figure created by 5 FSd that has been on stage only), he opened a new musical dimension for the group, the dancefloor. This defined the stylistic direction for Tobsen's current project Moonbootica.

Together with Kowesix, Tobitob gets the things rolling in terms of loud music with loud basses and crowded dance floors. The first tracks were born in Tobi's legendary Sauna Club Studio and 'Get It On' entered the German Dance Charts straight away. That's why  Moonbootica founded their own label 'Moonbootique'. The project sound got really big and Moonbootica started to remix international acts like Panjabi MC, Luomo, Boogie Pimps, Skin, Client. In 2003 Moonbootica was nominated for @ the German Dance Awards as 'Discovery of the Year'. They worked with guest artists like Jan Delay, Supermax or Kowalski from Jansen & Kowalski, releasing the two amazing albums  'Moonbootica' and 'Moonlight Welfare'.

During all these times Tobitob did some awesome downbeat tracks, compiled with various unreleased tracks that were created in countless sessions. This collection is the Tobitob Sessionlab album 'Tales from the Country/ City'.

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.

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.
