Belgium Incredible

JULY 27TH 2013 SATURDAY

LIFE IS MUSIC MUSIC IS LIFE

PEoPLE oF ToMoRRowLAnD,wE ARE MAKInG HISToRY!

RemembeR when we said you can make youR eveRy wish come tRue?

that counts oR the music as well. seRiously, this weekends got it all.

The moment weve all been waiting for has arrived, living up to every possible expectation. Magical Friday!

Man oh man! Were amazed ourselves at whats in

store for you today! Super-duper trance? Flabber-

gasting electro with a pinch of fidget house? Ramblin

and rollin drum & bass? Techno-tronic, psytrance-

sonic, minimal, maximal, nu skool, old skool and be-

yond. Get Intense with Armin van Buuren, jump your

ass off with the amazing Bonzai All Stars, have a super

deluxe threesome of the finest and purest house mu-

sic with Derrick Carter vs Mark Farina vs Sneak and

get inside the Cocoon alongside the absolute king of

techno madness: Sven Vth. Avicii is playing peaktime

tonight, and the Swedish golden boy has proven him-

self to be a high-class act during this years European

festival season. By the time hes inevitably winding

up his set with Levels, youll all be expl oding in fits of

unrestrained joy!

Lets be honest for a moment whether youve been to Tomorrowland before

or not, were you ready for this? Because we certainly werent. We could give

you the numbers: tens of thousands of people, 15 stages, and so on. Yet the

actual practice is so much better, isnt it? To feel the bass surging through your

bones, to be amidst so many like-minded people, to see the mainstage ex-

plode into a flurry of mythical creatures, flames, steam, smoke and colours

A day like yesterday is something no amount of experience will prepare you

for. And make no mistake that goes for the artists just as well. Pushed to great

heights by the sun, the stages, and your enthusiastic smiles, each and every

one of them gave their very best. From Dimitri Vegas & Like Mikes block-bust-

ing barrage of house to KOAN Sounds intimate display of the cutting edge of

broken bass, the interaction between you and the DJs was a sight to behold.

Magic. Now are you ready to do the incredible again today?

Let us tell you whats about to happen.You know the Dreamville drill by now. Itshould be no problem to get up and out othe misty shrouds o sleep. Youve prob-ably made new riends, maybe even spentthe night in a tent not your own, but nomatter. You must return as quickly as youcan, back towards the place where liearises and dreams come true. And so youdisappear down the Main Avenue again.This day, however, is unlike yesterday.

You know where to go now, as well ashow to get there. You will make yourown choices, and with them write your

own story. It will not take much, as thedcor is already there. Your task is onlyto decide will you go to V-Sessions,

where owering gardens blanket a oat-ing stage? Or is the newly-discoveredspecies o organ buttery, towering abovethe Super You&Me stage higher thanmany a cathedral, your avourite? Thereare plenty o options let. Perhaps yourriends would like to join you at FerryCorstens Full On podium, which revealsa world o eerily beautiul, bluish mothsupon entry. And i you have the heartor it, try to do battle with Q-dances

scorpion, a behemoth the likes o whichTomorrowland has never seen. It will behard, but we know you can beat the beastin the end. This is your story, ater all,and you are its hero.

As you can see, there is no limit to whatyou can achieve when you put your backinto it. And even though we know you

will prevail, our ability to oretell yourpath is dwindling. For in this moment

you arise your tale becomes your own.Make sure to enjoy it. The memory willlast you a lietime.

Thermometers blow out, even though it

rains sometimes. Showers of rain and sweat

will alternate, but mostly the sun will be

there to support you.

Good morning! Rise and shine you crazy camp-

ers! Did you get a good night o sleep? Or did

you stay up all night chatting with the peoplenexttentap? Whatever you did, were sure it

was awesome! Friday gave us so much to enjoy,

rom Carl Cox to Tisto, that were wonderinghow on earth todays going to be. In the mean-

time, a lot o stu is happening on other parts

o Tomorrowland. Yesterday morning we took a

stroll at Dreamville again, to spy on you a littlewhile you still sleeping. And boy, did you look

good waking up!

wELCoME To THE vILLAGE oF DREAMSIts the craziest canvas town in the world

Good Morning

Someone took a dump in the shower next to mine. Seri-

ously! A sh*t! Mara rom Arnhem tells us, while w alking

back to her tent in nothing more than a towel.

IM 18 AND I DO WHAT I WANT!. Thats the slogan Tilly

(18) and her riends live by this weekend. I turned 18 a month ago

and got a ticket rom my parents! Party on Tilly!

Tom (20) looks like he ell asleep in ront o his tent, but hes been awake

or several hours now. Drinking whiskey-cola. Because he can. Ideal on a

empty stomach. Sure Tom, sure.

The picture says it all: Mark managed to make it back to his dog-

house. Dont worry, hes alive and kicking. Well, maybe not kicking.

But alive? Yes. We poked him with a stick to check.

ELIxIR oF LIFEAter 9 years o aging, the secret is ready to be unveiled. The frst Tomorrow-land Rum, The Elixir o Lie, has arrived at Tomorrowland. It has been aging

in Bacardis hidden cellars, somewhere in Puerto Rico, since the frst edition

o our estival in 2004. Now, it is almost ready to celebrate Tomorrowlands10th anniversary next year but some people are going to be lucky enough

to taste it already. Do you want to win one o only three hand-crated bottles

in existence? Then pimp your tent as much as you can. Go mad. Use your

imagination and make it look as awesome as one o the stages. Take a clear

picture o it and send that to [email protected] beore 2PM. Make

sure to put Tomorrowland Elixir o Lie as the subject, and tell us your name,

phone number and the spot where we can fnd you at Dreamville. Each day,the winner will receive an email and SMS with more ino, so keep an eye on

your phone!

raDio ComE rom?Lorenzo: It is actually the third time that we are rep-

resented at Tomorrowland with Dreamville Radio. We

started out in 2011 on a very small scale basis ater the

producers o Dreamville asked us to come up with anidea or camping radio. Beore we started doing this, there

just wasnt any other es-

tival providing custom-ized on site camping ra-

dio. In Holland you had

3FM covering Lowlandsand in the UK estivals like Glastonbury also had their

own broadcasting. O course Tomorrowland couldnt stay

behind. For Studio Brussel it seemed like the perect op-

portunity to give our youngsters a chance, to throw themin so they get totally immersed in the ull-on radio experi-

ence.

arE thEsE youngstErs thE samE asPiring tal-

Ents that takE Part in thE wilD bunCh on stu-

Dio brussEl?

Sort o. Theres defnitely a link between these two pro-jects. The frst year we made up our team out o a search

or talent, and those people eventually became a part o

The Wild Bunch. We gave that group the opportunity toexperiment with their own radio making during the night

broadcast on Studio Brussel. Some o them are now actu-

ally part o the Studio Brussel team, so we have a bit o acorrelation between the two. Weve got some unrevealed

talent behind our mic, and also some radio-DJs that

people might already know as part o The Wild Bunch.

Dreamville Radio is a great place to see all this talent liveup to the moment.

whats thE DiErEnCE bEtwEEn CamPingraDio anD rEgular raDio?

Its very clear: a real studio is much saer to be in. Youre

more in control o everything, youve got the time to pre-

pare things, to do a little pre-talk with your interviewees,the setlist is made up beore the broadcast whereas

Dreamville Radio is crazy shit! You never know what is

going to happen. But itsexactly that spontaneity

that makes this all so ex-

citing. For example: onThursday we invited the

DJs that played at The Gathering to come over or an inter-

view, but some o them got lost on the way to our studio.

Panic? Not at all, we just turn our whole schedule around,use our creative masterminds and most o the time those

unexpected events provide or some things that are even

more awesome.

Tomorrowland is all about loving one another

as we all know. Shaquille (18) and his riends

experienced this frst hand ater The Gathering.We were playing drinking games with some

pretty English ladies. Somehow I ended up

sharing a tent with one o them. His riends

laugh and pat him on the shoulder. But Iwasnt the only one who ound some love to-

night! Some weird looking ellow had the hots

or our riend Alain. He even walked us to thetent uninvited! In the background Perla (19)

and Nina (19) roll their eyes at the brave stories

the guys are telling. Boys will be boys. A mo-

ment ago they were whining about the rain!

HoTSPoTSoF DREAMvILLE

Kings o the dixies. Emperors o the toilets. Rulers o toilet paper! All weekend long, Thomas (20) &

Ruben (19) take care o you when youre in need o a toilet. Its a dirty job, but someone has to do it!

Suddenly, yellow (or green) shirts everywhere! These anatics rom Switzerland printed their

bEwARE oF bAD DRUGS!We have received an important warning romQuality Nights, an organization which works

to improve estival-goers health. It appears

that ecstasy, also known as xtc and MDMA,is currently very dangerous. Last month, a

lot o tablets have been ound that contain

PMMA. There are also reports o pills with anextremely high MDMA content. Both o these

can do you serious harm; i you decide to

use drugs, please be very careul. Do not be

araid to contact First Aid services or securityi something goes wrong ater taking ecstasy.

But remember: the best way to avoid trouble

is not to take drugs! For more inormation, goto www.druglijn.be.

In Guatemala there isnt much to do as i t comes to electronic music.

Last year weve been to Ultra, which was amazing. But this year we

wanted to step it up a notch. The next level. And there really is only one

option, Tomorrowland! The atmosphere is amazing. Everybodys smiling.

Everybodys happy. United by the music.

Its a moving sight to see all these dierent cultures dance side by side.

Even people rom countries at war, or with a shared history o violence,

can be seen laughing. For instance; we saw the fags o the USA hanging

next to the one o Venezuela. Theres no hate. Just riendship. Where in

the world do you get that?

Down in India, they only thing weve got is Sandburn estival.

Electronic music is growing in popularity but it will take some time to

establish. Ater watching the atermovie o last year, we just had to go. It

was a hell o a trip, but standing here and looking out over the valley it

was worth every penny. A eeling which simply cant be described.

Music generates gravity; it pulls people in and bindsthem together. Heres how riends are made.

With Nervo playing loud on the background and the sun shining bright, Debbie rom Los Angelessmiles when asked what her frst impression o Tomorrowland is. Its a dierent universe. The amaz-

ing production, the service, the visitors, its all alling into place. Debbie is doing a European tour.

Ater Tomorrowland shell be heading to Italy, France, Spain and more. And the thing is: shes all by

hersel! But thats ok! Ive already made many new riends today. Thats probably the thing I love the

most about this amazing estival. Its a melting pot o so many dierent cultures.

Out o all the tickets sold, one or each country was randomly selected or this international momento love. Luxury drinks were on the house, and everyone got to pin their ag onto a wall o leaves.

These lucky chosen ew got to be ambassadors or the culture that ormed them, with one important

thing in common; their passion or music.

It eels like coming home. When youre dancing like crazy at the mainstage and you take a look or

a moment, youre immediately riends with the stranger next to you. Ive got riends rom all dierent

cultures because o this music. Tasha came all the way rom Australia or Tomorrowland. I workmy ass o all year long, just so I can visit this Disneyland or music. Work hard, play harder! She

teamed up with some people she met on Facebook. Its a group or everyone who wants to attend.

Today I fnally got to meet them in person!

Meanwhile the group has grown in size and variety. Sweden, New Zealand, Cyprus, Estonia. Diver-

sity rules. By the time Arty takes the mainstage, this group o strangers has become a little amily on

their own. And all that because o the music. Thats the power o Tomorrowland.

Wow!

There is a very good reason why Tomorrow-

land is the worlds favourite festival and it is

down to you, each and every one of you. The

atmosphere at the main stage as I write this is

amazing and NERVO have just taken over...

woo ooh ! They t ell me t here are m ore coun tries

represented here than at the Olympics, how

cool is that?

I have to be very honest though, with only

40% of ticket sales going to Belgium there is

a small something missing, the formations of

people dancing the same way... hint hint nudge

nudge I tried it a few times during Sunnery

& Ryans set but only a handful of people went

for it. Maybe we can do that all together today

perhaps? Anyway, thank you all for being you,

and I will say again, we are the revolution, we

are the future and now is our time to tell the

world i t is t ime to come to gether... in peace

with mu sic ri nging i n our ears, and love i n our

hearts, even if it is only for these 3 days. Music

on the main is getting a little bit harder each

year and being a soul man I am con stantly

looking for the soul to rise up and out, its

coming, I know it. When it does come I prom-

ise it will hit you harder than any kick drum,

but now Im babbling, it has been an emotional

Friday and the goose pimples have still not

gone kippenvel they say in Holland.

Saturday will be a Saturday I hope youre

ready for... we have an awesome line up today,

so make sure to pass by at some point and let

Meet Yves V, the DJ who grew from Tomorrowland

favourite to worldwide phenomenon.

When I press play the whole setting

and experience take me into

some kind of trance.

hw wl y sc xla t mac Tmwla?

Its difcult to describe, but everybody thats been here

or even saw the atermovie knows that this isnt yourordinary estival. When you set oot on the estival

grounds you can instantly eel the magic. I think their

eye or detail is one o the events main successes; romthe ood corners to the smallest stages, they are all per-

ect. Nowadays, demand or tickets is so high that i

you have a ticket, you eel special.

hw y t vlv wt all ts? Wats

t sty Yvs a Tmwla?

I was lucky enough to grow with the estival. Sevenyears ago I had the chance to play at another ID&T

event called HEAVEN. This was such a success that

they asked me to open the mainstage. Im proud to say

that I am a Tomorrowland Resident DJ.

Wats t l Tmwla y ca?d t l y cm ts ?

I think being one o the Tomorrowland residents has

been great or my career. Besides rom that I have myown productions which are doing really well. I eel

that when I play abroad people want to eel that To-

morrowland vibe, the one I try to give during my sets.

Tay, yll st V-Ssss, wt a mssv

l-. Ca y tll s wat ts sta s all at?

Atsts?V-Sessions is the name o my radio show. Last year we

had the idea o hosting a stage that gave you the music

that I play during my radio shows: a wide range rom

progressive house till electro house, were I invite some

o my colleague DJs. Last years line up was with BingoPlayers, Felguk, Tristan Garner, Adrian Lux, Bassjack-

ers the list goes on. It was such a huge success that we

needed to repeat it and do it bigger. First o all I am

happy that I have some producers on my line-up that Iadmire, such as Pete Tong, Eric Prydz & Nicky Rome-

ro. Its an honour to work with them. Aside rom that

Ive got some great producers and DJs on stage withwhom I have collaborations, like Michael Calan and

Felguk. We created a new stage this year, so prepare

yoursel or an amazing show. I hope to see everyone

who reads this there!

Wat s t mst mmal mmt y a

at Tmwla, all ts yas?

Hosting my own stage at Tomorrowland has al-ways been my dream. Last year I did it and it was

huge! Also, my mainstage perormance last year

is one o my best memories ever. I got so manypositive reactions during my set and on social

media. So the pressure is on this year.

A wat s t wst t y v saw atTmwla?

Thats a difcult question. Weird but great was

when the crowd at the mainstage lited a guy upin his wheelchair. He looked so happy

Wat y t TmwWl? is t a

lcal st? Wat a y xctats?I think it will be great, so many people that cant

join the Tomorrowland madness due to distance

or ticket sale constraints will be able join thisunique experience in Atlanta.

is Amca t ms la lctc

msc?Dance music really exploded in the US and I eel

that we havent reached the top yet.

Countries like Brazil and Mexico are really intoEDM too, so I see a bright uture or this genre.

Y tavl a t wl t lay t -

st stvals. Wat mas Tmwla s

scal cmas?For me its like playing a home match, something

I look orward to the whole year. This year I will

be premiering 6 new tracks - I hope you guyslike them!

Wat s t y m scs

y cm sta a stat lay? A cay sc t l y av wl -

m?

Like every artist I have some small nerves butwhen I press play the whole setting and experi-

ence take me into some kind o trance. I cant

describe that great eeling.

Wat s t t Yvs V l l?

Busy, really busy. Im touring in Brazil, Chili, Ar-

gintina and Asia. Also, Im releasing a new trackevery month starting in August, so youll be hear-

ing rom me.

Ts s y cac t sa ctly t all t asat Tmwla. Wat wl y l t say?

I would say enjoy it to the ullest, and I am surethis weekend will be unorgettable. Something

to keep in mind: I will be hosting my V-Sessions

stage today and you can catch me at the main-

stage on Sunday!

Frequently ranked the #1 DJ in the world,

Armin van Buuren had the chance to show

o his chops on March 30th with his produc-

tion A State o Trance 600 - The Expedition.

Primarily a celebration o the success o Van

Buurens radio show, the event also allowed Corsten and Schulz to pre-

miere their collaborative project, New World Punx.

Sitting down with van Buuren beore his gala, Tomorrowland Today had a

chance to discuss some o his avourite music and his new album Intense.

wh h ee oe dvce ou hve receved h helped keep our

ho o?

Its most important to say that A State o Tranceis not a show or the ans

only, its a show by the ans as well. It popped into my mind to stop at 500

episodes but seeing the show grow and progress like it has is all because

o the ans. The ans keep the show alive. Thats the reality o things. Im

really overwhelmed by the support every week online and the love rom

the ans or this music. Its just amazing.

Im a DJ and I think its my job to be curious as to what drives people to

like certain tracks. Im very hungry to understand that. I think its even my

job to understand why people like Gangnam Styleeven though I would

never ever play that in my set. I want to understand the emotion behind

it. I want to know why people like it. Thats my job. Im curious. Most o

the tracks in the Billboard [charts] dont really appeal to me because my

heart is really with trance music. But I think its an important lesson to

learn rom every style, every genre. What pitalls you have and what your

strengths are. You have to learn.

you do lve lu d ou do udo lu. whe ou re cre

When I DJ, I play tracks rom mysel

and tracks rom other people. When I

do an artist album, Ive produced every

track mysel. So I go into the studio with singers, writers, guitar players,

violin players, everything and create everything mysel. A DJ set is really

based on what you eel. Its really on the spot. Its like, its that kind o

crowd so Im playing this and this and this.Its more catered to the actual

situation. When Im in the studio, I dont have reerence with the crowd.

I dont see a crowd in ront o me. Im just sitting back relaxed, enjoyingmaking sounds and soundscapes and trying new things with music.

bee e p p, d ce e e iee?

Intense is my new album. Its my fth artist album and it will be released

on the 3rd o May (the 7th in the US eds.) . Its a very varied album. Its

a trance album but Ive listened to a lot o other styles as well. There is a

theme behind the album, i you look at the cover where Im holding the

light. Its sort o a metaphor to say that Ive ound my own road. I didnt

try to orce anything with Intense. I was just in the studio having so much

un creating music.

DELTA HEAvYStar Warz 00:00

Battering down the doors o the genre elitists come apair o producers plucked rom the ranks o Rams new

generation o incredible music making talents. In a lit-

tle over a year Delta Heavy, or Si James and Ben Hallto their riends, have already proven their drum & bass

metal with a succession o heavy-hitting original tracks.

They met at university in Nottingham and ater several

years o hard work, their production eorts resulted intheir debut drum & bass release on Vipers acclaimed

Acts o Mad Men compilation in June 2009. A track

in the urban thriller Harry Brown, (which eatured thesound track by Chase & Status) and several dubstep and

house remixes ollowed in quick succession.

Dance oor anthem Abort came out on Vipers Head-

room EP in June 2010 to huge response and gained

them recognition within the scene. With Radio 1 sup-port rom Zane Lowe and Hugh Stevens as well as Andy

C, Friction, High Contrast and the rest, it became a vital

fxture in DJ sets across the country.Delta Heavy are two guys who wont be disappearing

rom your wavelengths any time soon.

SAToSHI ToMIIEKetaloco 20:30

Satoshi Tomiie is Japans most successul DJ. Since thelate 1980s he has been at the oreront o the global

house music movement thanks to his seminal dance-

oor anthems, pop remixes, headliner DJ sets and con-

stant reinvention. A lielong student o jazz and classi-cal piano, Satoshi had an inuential impact rom his

very frst record. His debut single Tears, which he co-

produced in 1989 with Chicagos Godather o houseFrankie Knuckles, was an instant club hit and is today

considered one o house musics most important mo-

ments. In the early 1990s, he toured and played key-

board or Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (o

Yellow Magic Orchestra ame). His reputation or crat-ing meticulous club rhythms led to him remixing some

o pops biggest names including U2, Mariah Carey,

Photek, Simply Red, and David Bowie. At the turn othe millennium, in a reinventive move typical o his DJ

career, Satoshi introduced a groundbreaking new club

sound via 2000s Full Lick album. The long-player ea-

tured dark twisted electronic rhythms, haunting vocals,and hypnotic grooves that came to set the benchmark

or a new developing house scene. The albums hit sin-

gle Love In Trafc became a worldwide undergroundhit.

AxwELLMainstage 20:30

The king o the sun-kissed summer anthem; the mo-

gul behind one o the hottest imprints on the planet; asuperstar producer and DJ whos never lost the giddy

enthusiasm o a edgling clubber, and one o the most

successul and inuential remixers o the 21st century.By anyones standards, Axel Axwell Hedors is a giant

o modern-day dance music and hes only going to

get bigger.

You only have to take a look over the back catalogue o

Axtone, Axwells much-admired label, to see his enthu-siasm or a dizzying range o styles and sounds. From

the banging to the beatifc, Axwell and his roster o

artists which includes Dirty South, TV Rock and Prok

& Fitch amongst others r eally have managed to pleaseall the people, all the time.

Whatever direction the music takes Axwell in next, you

can be sure that hell be closely ollowed by admirersand imitators alike. During the past 15 years, says

sometime Axwell-collaborator Bob Sinclair, there are

only a ew guys who have really inuenced the dancemusic scene with their sound and the way that they pro-

duce. Axwell is one o them.

ERIC PRYDzV Sessions 23:30They say that ortune avours the brave. For Eric Pry-

dz, a bold musical agenda and an unrivaled ability to

combine commercial success (3 x Top 2 UK hit singles)with underground notoriety (astest selling release ever

on DJ download store Beatport), has allowed him to

achieve worldwide recognition with his integrity intact.

The sot-spoken Swede hasnt given an interview in 6

years, he never appears in his music videos, and avoidsartist tweets his breakast sel-promotion. His reusal

to play the media circus stems rom the allout ignited

by that video. His frst No.1, Call On Me, was

accompanied by a music promo that he didnt clear,

much less approve o. He shied away rom publicityand ensuing success and retreated into his studio to

continue making the dark, brooding electronica he had

become known or.

With his frst artist album ready to drop very soon, Pry-

dz is set to make another return to the mainstream, but

as any underground electronic music an worth theirsalt knows, hes never ar rom proceedings, you just

need to know where to fnd him. (pssst: hes headlining

the V Sessions stage on Saturday!)

It was just one record that catapultedMartin Solveig rom being a well-re-spected DJ into one o the most or-

midable producers and perormers in

the world. Hello has now sold over2 million copies and earned global re-

cognition, achieving platinum status

in America, Italy, Germany and Aus-

tria, as well as going twice platinumin Canada and in Australia... His mu-

sic videos are renowned as the best in

their class by ar and his perormancescontinue to electriy audiences in eve-ry corner o the globe. With his ourth

studio album SMASH still seeing its

release territory-by-territory, Martincontinues to draw us into a world o

pure and unparalleled un.

2013 will be like no other or the unas-

suming master, whether its headliningestival stages, including a debut per-

ormance at Coachella, or perorming

on national TV the world over or mil-lions o viewers. Everything the manapproaches, he does with the same

intensity and are that has spanned

his entire career; he has an innateability to make each and every person

in a room eel welcome, invited and

ree o inhibitions. At the end o the

day this boils down to one thing: Mar-tin Solveig is one o the most exciting

and talented perormers in the world.

MARTIn SoLvEIGSuper You&Me 20:00

SvEn vTHCocoon Heroes 22:00Since his beginnings in the Frankurt club scene in 1982,

when Sven Vth attracted interest with DJ sets o several

hours and a completely new understanding o club cul-ture, his name has not only stood or the constant devel-

opment o this art orm called Electronic Music. With hisplatorm Cocoon, he has also revealed a real dedication

in the support o young musical talent showing his pas-

sion or bringing great music to the ore. Sven has his

ans in the most important clubs across the globe as wellas at the worlds biggest estivals, he toured South Amer-

ica and played in the Thai jungle, and he is cultural am-

bassador o the German Goethe Institute. On the danceoor, he unites thirty-fve-year-olds with fteen-year-

olds. The readers polls o the big magazines regularly

see him in top ranks in every important category, and his

tours lead him to more than seventy cities and numer-ous estivals on our continents, practically all year long.

His Cocoon network is home to a booking agency, an

event agency and the record label Cocoon Recordings three very important components o the electronic music

scene that are both innovative and independent.

MASTERS AT woRKDerrick Carter Family & Friends 23:00Masters at Work is the house/garage production and

remix team o Little Louie Vega and Kenny Dope

Gonzalez. They frst worked together using the name,which had been given to them by mutual riend Todd

Terry (who recorded several tracks under that name inthe 1980s), in 1990. The duo has also produced music

together under the names MAW, KenLou, Sole Fusion,

and Nuyorican Soul. Their Nuyorican Soul project had

the duo working extensively with real (as opposed tosampled or synthesized) musicians, in a variety o styles

including Latin, disco, jazz, and more. The sel-titled al-

bum released under the name Nuyorican Soul in 1996included original tracks as well as cover versions o

songs by the perormers with which the duo was work-

ing, such as Sweet Tears (Roy Ayers), and Runaway,

originally sung by Loleatta Holloway with the SalsoulOrchestra, here sung by India and eaturing musicians

rom the original recording o 1977. Today, however,

theyre back under the MAW moniker.Let Masters At Work remix your lie!

LEn FAKIKozzmozz 2 3:30When Len Faki moved to Berlin in 2003, he already

looked back to years o ruitul productivity and the

management o two highly acclaimed techno labels:Monoid and Feis. There, he had attracted artists such

as Samuel L. Session, John Selway Umek and TheHacker, with releases o 12-inches, albums and mix

compilations. His move to Berlin marked a decisive

turning point in his career. With Len Series he ound-

ed an independent platorm and trademark or hisidea o Techno music. The basic concept including

sublabels allows him to explore musical depths and

artistic reedom.While Figure sees his own releases in loose combina-

tion with artists remixes, Podium eatures exclusive

artist releases in combination with his own work.

His bone-dry but communicative DJ style marks himas a true gentleman behind the turntable, an artist

whose sets are based on passion and beauty. His

fnger tips are like sensors on the Richter scale, andanticipate as well as trigger eruptions on the oor.
