Born as first generation house producers, a complete musical revolution has taken place right in front of Zki & Dobres eyes: From the first simple sampler, to a complete digital studio built into a laptop.,DJ Zki & Dobre; who are they and what are they up to? Two simple but pressing questions which are not easy to answer. The Dutch producers Zki & Dobre- respectively René ter Horst and Gaston Steenkist are responsible for so many productions in all kinds of styles under so many different names that they are extremely difficult to categorize.,Their studio remains their favorite place, but as DJ’s, the clubs is where their music is being tested and where their music should be played out loud! Great examples are I Wanna Be U (2001), A Star Is Born (2003) and Always And Forever (2006) which they released under their alter ego Chocolate Puma.,Lets go back in time a little. For sure a special mission from outer space has helped faith a little to ensure that these two all-round musical guys bumped into each other in the 90s.,Together they produced their first hit; The Good Men “ Give It Up”.,René: We are still very proud of Give It Up. It was created on a small mixer and mixed on broken speakers in Gastons bedroom. Its a unique record that people still sample and play. The whole world knows that record!,Give It Up brings them more then just international dance floors. Their own career goes through the roof. From 1992 till now Zki & Dobre released records like there lives depended on it. In total over 200 releases and 50 remixes for the likes of Roger Sanchez, Stereo MCs, Britney Spears, Copyright, Bob Sinclar, Fedde Le Grand & Funkerman and Laidback Luke.,As DJ’s Chocolate Puma is privileged to be able choose from all these hundreds of records to make sure they maintain and create a unique sound.,The true nature of their inspiration will always be a secret to them but Zki & Dobre have the gift of always reinventing themselves. Some highlights so far: the classic Vallee de Larmes (1993), the Jark Prongo project including Movin’ Thru Your System (1998) and Sweet Little Thing (2001), Chocolate Puma with the floor fillers I Wanna Be U, A Star Is Born and Always & Forever to name a couple. They also gained success with projects like Basco, Klatsch! and Tomba Vira.,One thing is clear though and that is that everything Zki & Dobre create stands for quality. Today a whole new generation appreciates the music of Zki and Dobre without knowing the full history of it.

One of Detroit's leading DJs and producers as the '90s closed, Claude Young filtered the more lush elements of Motor City melodicists with the harder, minimalist stream of Robert Hood and Jeff Mills to create productions which lacked for neither emotion nor hard-hitting trance.

Willem Rebergen, better known as Headhunterz, kicked off his DJ career in 2003. That year, a friend gave him a ticket to Qlimax, and it was love at first sight. Discovering hardstyle music and its dedicated scene changed his life. From that moment on, he committed himself to becoming the best producer in the hardstyle genre. He locked himself up in his tiny bedroom studio, in the attic of his parents’ house in Veenendaal, and quickly learned the ropes of producing. Unaware of the revolution he would start, the foundations of the Headhunterz sound were made. Headhunterz’ new take on Hardstyle music made the genre grow into an international phenomenon. It was no longer just the sound of European raves, but became something worldly. Headhunterz made new audiences fall in love with the unstoppable energy of Hardstyle music. 7 years after visiting his very first hardstyle party he was on top of his career, with each new track captivating both his fanbase and artists outside the scene.

Some say that our pulse gives us the rhythm of our body and life. This rhythm is changing while we walk, run, eat, jump or have sex. It’s so natural we barely notice this reoccurring cycle phenomena and continue with the soundtrack of our lives. Dubi Dagan, aka Ritmo, has managed to formulate a unique technique that captures moments in our lives and translates them to an addictive rhythmic Progressive Trance creation.,Dagan always had a lust for music, starting with Heavy Metal in his adolescents at the Krayiot in Israel, which satisfied his energetic soul, and fully maximized it with the help of his electric guitar. Towards his adult life he decided to explore the electronic regimes of 80’s & New Wave bands such as Depeche Mode and gave his respect to Electronic pioneers such as Jean Michel Jarre. When the 90’s exploded with multiplying Electronic Dance genres, Dagan had joined the ride with the likes of Prodigy, until he discovered Psytrance and realized this addiction is going to last. After visiting in various cultural inspiration including Japan, U.S.A and India, Dagan came back to Israel and started his first steps behind the decks as a resident Dj, at the Luna Club, at Haifa.,Being a music fanatic couldn’t leave Dubi indifferent; this is why it wasn’t long before he decided to begin working on his own project, and so Ritmo was born. This Progressive Psytrance project filled in what was missing in the Progressive Trance genre for a long time – the rhythm of our bodies and soul. While tuning his sound skills as a sound engineer at DubiDub studios, a company responsible for dubbing television and cinema, Dagan started to experiment in order to achieve the perfect sound. Ritmo joined the acclaimed Iono Music records in 2007, and about a year after released his first compilation “Grand Slam”. Short after that, in 2008, he finally released his awaited debut album “Disharmonic Silence” and immediately gained attention and popularity, locally and globally. Dagan has joined forces with Alon Brillant in another project called Ritree, who gave him the opportunity the toy with faster and more psychedelic tunes.,After the release of the debut album, Dagan had little rest or sleep due to the massive number of collaborations and gigs he had done across the world. Among the many incredible events he took part in, were Fusion festival (Germany), Tribe(Brazil), XXX Perience (Brazil), 303 Art festival (Brazil), Indian Spirit festival (Germany), Spirit Base festival (Austria) and many more than can be elaborated here. His collaborations are as exciting as his tours: Nok (EP – Multistop) which is a frequent collaboration, Ace Ventura , Liquid Soul, Symphonix, Rocky, and many more. He released “Archive 9” in 2009 with remixes to other artists and remixes that artists made of his music, receiving amazing responses. A year after, in 2010, he released a remix EP called “Music from Heaven” on Blue Tunes records, which gave 7 interpretations to the theme track. Ritmo’s music was released on other major labels such as Iboga and Perfecto. A fraction from his 2nd most anticipated album will land on earth soon and will mark another evolutionary step in his artistic career.
