Prosumer - An introduction...

Achim Brandenburg aka Prosumer comes from Saarbruecken and lives in Berlin. He is an expert in classic Chicago House and Detroit Techno. He gained this expertise first as a fervent record buyer at Saarbruecken’s Hard Wax branch, where he later started working behind the counter. It was the heyday of labels like Prescription, the time for soulful house music, which still can be heard in Prosumer’s sets today.

'My heart is beating for the early Chicago-Detroit-Sound and for music that feels similar and transports this feeling into today. Generally, I like producers who cordially follow their feeling and who work on a personal style which rather caters for longeivity, than a momentary kick. To know one’s trade isn’t a disadvantage it all.'

Slowly, the consumer turned into Prosumer, who by the way is a character in Alvin Toffler’s visionary sci fi novel '3rd Wave', in which the term 'Techno' has allegedly been used for the first time ever. Prosumers debut is released on the 240 Volt label in 2004. A year later, it is followed by 'The Craze' on Playhouse, which turned into a veritable hit record, followed by collaborations with Murat Tepeli or Sebo K and remixes. With Murat Tepeli, he is also performing live, using not only laptops but equipment like drummachines for the shows and incorporating his voice.

'Whatever I do has got to be real. If a record doesn’t move me emotionally or physically, I won’t play it out. I have to feel the music and I’m always trying to share my feelings with the crowd on the floor. If everything goes down well, there’s an exchange going on. I try to keep a balance between pushing people’s buttons and surprising them. It’s all about having a good time together. I’m sharing my inner emotions. And dance music has got to be horny.'

Prosumer is a resident at Panorama Bar and plays at clubs like Robert Johnson, Fabric, Paradiso, Zukunft, T-Bar, Pudel, Planeten & Blumen, Watergate, Weekend and Rex Club.

Lerosa - An introduction...

Born in Rome, Leo developed a love of electronic music through Italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house . He began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to Dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of Autechre, Drexciya and the extended Detroit- inspired musical underworld.

Leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. His debut release was the ‘Maike ep’ on Dublin’s D1 Recordings in 2005. He followed this up with a critically acclaimed release on Real soon, titled ‘Ruski’. Then followed the equally outstanding “Seeker ep“ on Enclave Recordings , closely followed by a release on The “A touch of class” imprint out of Germany , a brilliantly received ep on Uzuri . More recently he has released on the seminal “Millions Of Moments ” imprint as well as the ace new label , Quintessentials.

Since then Lerosa has been on demand as a remixer and has garnered a lot of press coverage from magazines such as Germany’s Groove Mag & De Bug , London’s Strobelight Honey magazine as well as coverage on the increasingly influential music blogs, such as Infinitestatemachine , Test , e.t.c.
