Seventies Hungarian funk, Youtube outsider artists, the dustiest of old Bollywood relics—all is fair game when it comes time for The Mole to pull either inspiration or wax for his house-heavy DJ sets and live shows. Decades in, the Vancouver native still gets the jitters before a performance, which speaks a lot to his ethos. For a guy for whom a record bag is so much more than the sum of its parts, every gig is a big deal. And if you've ever had the chance to catch him in action—be it DJing or jumping between his MPC and a sole turntable—, you'd agree. Low-key and loved by many, the rambling capitán of Maybe Tomorrow possesses a steadfast commitment to keeping it groovy above all. 'And weird!' A normally elusive creature, The Mole can be found most at home behind a DJ booth during the wee smoky hours in the midst of long, drawn-out sets. The more time for injecting a bit of Marvin Gaye here, some Mercedes Sosa there, the better. Known for his love of sonic collage and musical noodling, he boasts a long and colourful list of releases—for labels like Perlon, Ostgut Ton, Slices of Life, Haunt, Musique Risquée, New Kanada, Internasjonal and longtime home Wagon Repair. A relentless digger with an utter disregard for the structural capabilities of his living room floor, Colin is on a constant one-man mission to keep the record store industry afloat. This means, in his case, approaching music with the kind of open-mindedness and humility necessary for not only acquiring, but learning. Which might be what makes him an ideal bandmate to his friends in Modern Deep Left Quartet and Units & Measurements. 'That—or the fart jokes.' It's the low profile, the constant smile and a genuine love for music that make The Mole, an artist with a career spanning over 20 years, an easy one to recognise at a party. He's the guy with an ear-to-ear grin on his face, wondering why in the world he's getting paid for having so much fun.

The music world frst took note of Baaz when the young man from Berlin released his first vinyl record, the highly acclaimed 'Granular Senses' EP on Agnès' beloved House label Sthlmaudio in 2007. This impressive entrance to the electronic music scene was followed shortly after by a release on Daniel Bell's label Elevate which was just as accomplished as his frst record and another big success in the clubs. So with just two records Baaz had made himself a name as a respectable producer of stripped-down House with a great sense of warm and deep atmospheres. But what the music world didn't know at that time is that Baaz had been around the block for quite a while already: He had started his DJ career in 1998 – mainly with Hip-Hop records, but turned to House and Techno soon afterwards. With that much experience under his belt Baaz is a real pro when it comes to building long arcs of suspense in his DJ sets. He loves sets which seem to shift gradually but when you attend them for a longer time and immerse yourself into his straight but deep sounds you realise which great turns his sets take and how carefully the bigger picture evolves. This talent for telling long stories is both present in Baaz' DJ sets as well as his music productions. After his frst releases on such highly respected labels as Sthlmaudio, Quintessentials and Slices of Life, Baaz took another big step and founded his own label Ofce in 2012 which has proven to be a runaway success since then. And in 2016 the ever busy man ups the ante with his new project Eric Miller for Sushitech in which he focusses on deep and dubby Techno – both as a music producer on his frst two extremely successful records for Sushitech as well as in his DJ sets: Straight and reduced but always sublime with a good sense of deepness Eric Miller's sets in clubs are celebrating Techno in various shades and colours and always make for a fascinating live experience.

Labelled by Resident Advisor as “one of the classiest and grooviest house DJs out there,'' Dana Ruh is a musician who lives and breathes music like few others. Thoroughly obsessed by the complexities of sound, she’s as renowned for his wizardry behind the decks as she is her label, Brouqade — as well as her role at fledgling Berlin music space, KMA60. A native of Gera, Ruh has been firmly settled in Berlin for over a decade now, with Germany’s capital continuing to play a profound effect on her unique way of working. An impressively multifaceted musician, Ruh’s early sound was often characterised by its subtle, minimal tropes, although these days she’s equally as likely to champion classy, up-tempo house as she is a tougher, more peak-time techno vibe. It’s a way of working that means she’s equally comfortable throwing it down in Romania as she Ibiza or at her summer residency at Berlin’s Club der Visionare. A master of the subtle groove, Ruh’s work continues to draw praise from electronic music’s most respected names, with her highly-regarded debut LP, Naturally, released via Jus Ed’s Underground Quality. Added to this, further celebrated releases have arrived recently via equally discerning outposts such as Slices of Life, Cave Records and Autoreply. Closer to home, Ruh continues to rep her Brouqade imprint with distinction. Conceived in 2007, the label is now firmly established one that’s equally likely to push forward-thinking up-and-coming artists and established names alike. Never one to sit still, Ruh’s most recent endeavour is KMA60, a collaborative affair alongside Jamie Fry. Located in Berlin’s Neukölln, KMA60 encompasses a record shop, a studio space, as well an in-house label, KMA60 Rezpektiva. Established in early 2019 but already gaining a reputation for its killer record selection and welcoming atmosphere, much like Dana Ruh herself, KMA60 is quickly becoming synonymous with quality.
