Alexis Cabrera

As a self taught musician, Cabrera started to experiment with music at a very young age. After having spent six years of conservatory studies, his music flourished. Cabrera’s style can best be defined as a tech house sound with groovy bases. He performs exclusively live, singing his own songs on the fly. His songs was released on labels like Mindshake Records, Kumquat Records, Time has changed, Great Stuffs and many many more.

 

Nowadays Alexis performs at most hype clubs in Buenos Aires such as Mandarine, Bahrein, Pacha, Cocoliche, just to name a few. He was also an important act at the 2009 Festival South American Music Conference (SAMC). And his last european tour was such a success, performing in Berlin, at clubs like Watergate and Club der Visionaere, and also at Split (Croatia), Zurich, Rome, and Venice.

 

2011 has kept Alexis busy. After his European tour (playing in clubs like Watergate and Club der visionaere on Berlin, Croatia, Zurich) he’s recently co-produced Barem’sAfter the Storm„, along with Barem himself, released on Minus in the middle of 2011 [Minus 110]. He also worked with Jorge Savoretti and Matteo Spedicati for AMAM. And now is still hot his release „Whatever ep“ on Paco Osuna’s Label „Mindshake Records“

 

Cabrera’s eager talent is not limited to dance floor-oriented tracks, and this can be seen in his work under the a.k.a. CABRI, most suited for relaxing times.

Alexis Cabrera without any doubt evolves in the most renowned league of new producers of Argentina and his discography shows collaborations with credible top artists of the world such as Barem, Someone Else, Kate Simko, Franco Cinelli, Jorge Savoretti, Matteo Spedicati, Violett, Ariel Rodz, Juan Zolbaran and Ronan Portela, among others.

Jonas Kopp was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1981. His career as a producer was launched when he was 19 years old. After seven years of hard work we find one of the most representative argentine talents for the House and techno global scene.

Jonas is very well depicted by the constant hypnotic flavour in his tracks, the techno arrangements, deep basslines that really fill the surrounding space, the use of effects like reverb ,delays and LFO’s and his faithful attachment to his Detroit and Chicago roots as creative influences .

His live performances are two hours of plenty of hipnotic groove, creating different states all along the set. His DJ sets are a perfect analog-digital fusion, using tracktor scratch and vinyls / Cds.. Artists such as Mattew Dear, Adam Beyer , Sven Vath , Chris Liebing, Par Grindvik, Ben Klock , Luke Slater , rank his tracks in their latest charts.

He founded Traut Muzik, a Label in which he curates the best techno and House artists from the argentine and global techno scene.

Jonas Kopp just introduced himself to the international scene by Matthew Dear , in the label Spectral Sound sharing roster with Audion , Par Grindvik , James T Cotton , Geoff White , Seth Troxler, Mikael Stravostrand .

Actually he is working together with the Belgian label “ CURLE RECORDINGS “, One of the new and modern techno labels of the moment…

In the best moments of a club night, time vanishes. It’s taken out of the equation. To borrow from the writer Gertrude Stein: it’s when a groove is a groove. It must have been one of these transcendent hours that led techno maven Chaton to bestow a huge compliment. „Wandler is the best Swiss techno DJ“, the Geneva producer raved in October 2010, flanking his point by a dozen exclamation marks.

When Michael Stutz AKA Wandler is in the groove, there’s hardly anything that can stop him. Having started to beatmix at the tender age of thirteen, Wandler’s spotless deep techno sets have graced not only his club residencies at the Zukunft and the Hive Club, but also countless gigs at venues like the Bar25 in Berlin, Batofar in Paris, the WMF in Berlin or the Registratur in Munich.

The head DJ of Zurich’s Motoguzzi label, it was the sound of Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb and the early Front 242 that made Wandler fall in love with electronic music. Plastikman and Studio 1 later initiated him to the sparse manners of minimal techno. Debuting in 2005 with the Tanzwut EP on Littlebig Recordings, Mr. Stutz has stepped up his release schedule of late: Three raw, clanging and intense EPs are to be released this spring on Motoguzzi, KUMQUAT and And then…Rec. Plus, a joint collaboration with Mastra has crystallized into a staggering 12inch on Mike Shannon’s Cynosure imprint. You better believe the hype: Time is more than ripe for Wandler. Right, it’s that moment.
