Mihalis Safras - La Samba Di Chicos [ remix pack ]

Mihalis Safras (Material Series labelowner) is one of the most accredited DJ/producers worldwide and without doubt the top greek techno/minimal producer. (DJ MAG 245) Mihalis has built up a massive following with his DJ sets and production work throughout his career and has already started making waves on the international techno circuit. He is concidered to be as one of the most productive producers in techno.Born in Athens, he started experimenting with music at the age of 12, when he studied the piano. He quickly became interested in electronic music and started using new music technology to create his own tracks. Initiated early into the restless music scene of the end of the 90s, Mihalis’ career started in 1997 when he landed a residency at Berlin Club, one of Greece’s most notorious venues. During that period, he had been mainly mixing house but by the end of the decade, had changed his style to techno and techouse. In 2000 Mihalis started experimenting with the harder side of the dance scene and introduced Greek clubbers to the techno sounds of Detroit’s percussive rhythms. His first major gig was at the well-known SolaLuna Festival, where he was on the bill next to world’s biggest names in techno. This appearance led to countless residencies at all major Greek clubs including Venue, Mad, Danza, Miroir, Luv and many more. Soon he landed the headlining slot at the legendary club, Umatic (Plusmatic) where he built a huge fan base that led to his nomination as best Greek techno DJ in 2005 by Klik Magazine.

Sante, Adam Port - Own (Riva Starr Remix)

Techno’s biggest flaw is its self-referencial tendency. You know the deal, the common contemporary DJ/Producer steals an Underground Resistance-Record from his older brother at the age of 16 (biographical details may vary, not to impair the facts, though), thus presuming to have found the holy grail (what, of course, nobody is claiming to deny). His world is shrinking down to Detroit, Chicago, New York and Berlin within the following years, he’ll equip himself with records and turntables and not look over the rim of his MKII ever again. Adam Ports biography is different. Adam was Hardcore, when he was 16. No, not Rotterdam-Hardcore. We’re talking New York-, Boston- and Washington D.C.-Hardcore here. It’s a past that he still lives up to, cultivating it in his vegetarian-straight-edge-lifestyle. After that there was HipHop. He got in touch with turntablism, discovered his love for vinyl and evolved to be a skilled DJ for the first time. Then, finally came Techno. This way of tracing down spaces, giving one the best possible chance of self-development, is the essential reason for Ports presence being so unique. There’s no scene-dictated tunnel view in his activities, there is only a pointed emphasis on style, on groove and sophistication. An emphasis, that, because it’s informed by Dub, Danchall, Rap, Soul or even Psychedelic Rock, is advanced enough to always shine through the inflationary characteristic of the genre as notably original. That applies to both, his productions and his DJ-sets. What Adam Port is laying his hands on might have its place within the parameters of House and Techno, but it’s always more than that. It’s his style.

Crookers feat. Roisin Murphy - Royal T (Riva Starr Vocal Mix) NEW!!! HOT!!!

Riva Starr is a name that should be very familiar to anyone with an interest in modern house music. Having shot to the top after a string of head turning releases and remixes on some of the most talked about labels, Riva Starr couldn’t be hotter right now. What’s quite remarkable though is how quickly Stefano Miele, aka Riva Starr has established himself so prominently on a DJ/producer circuit that’s notoriously difficult to break into. It doesn’t hurt that Claude VonStroke and Jesse Rose, the two men who sit on top of the pile, happen to be two of his biggest fans.So, how did the man from Naples rise from unknown to major player in just 2 years? Well, the truth is that Stef is no newcomer to making music, in fact he’s been producing and releasing a wide-range of sounds under different guises for the past 10 years, including 2 albums. Like all good producers he’s earned his stripes and his current status is down to two things, hard work and talent. Oh and the World Wide Web of course. That’s right, like so many successful new musicians today, Riva Starr is “big on the blogs” and it’s exactly here, giving free music away that Stef was able to not only test-run new material but also form an army of loyal and excited fans before he had even released a record.
