Music has played a mojor part in his perception of the world... Upon returning to Slovenia, he soon became familiar with the underground scene of the (at that time) dormant techno music. Those were the good old days which inspired him to begin mixing music.

Glam-rocker in the 90's, it's through Mister Bungle's music that Martin discovered machine generated sounds. He will then embark on a 10 year journey through many styles of music, taking him from Faster Pussycat to Orbital, to Michael Mayer, to progressive house. As the new millennium arrives, he definitely puts aside his LesPaul guitar and Marshall amp and works exclusively with machines to produce dance floor electronic music. He first explores the minimal and techno scenes, but his curiosity brings him to gain interest in all electronic genres (idm, drum n bass, gabber, goa and electro) in order to truly understand their subtle production differences. Falling upon some memorable sets by some djs and craving low frequencies, Martin turns to progressive techno/house where he finds the round and enveloping sounds he likes, keeping with his techno and minimal influences with a touch of melody. As a producer, Martin constantly works on the line between techno and progressive house. As a dj, he explores some genres (progressive house, house, techno and trance), however, his sets always have a progressive feel and are driven by rolling and grooving bass lines. In 2005, Martin and long time friend Steeve Montmigny (aka Sternreise) decide to truly take part in the local and international electronic music circle. Today, Öften Grüven recordings is now internationally distributed and is a member of the Critical Rhythm UK family, headed by Keith McDonnell, also director and owner of Baroque records. www.mparadis.com www.myspace.com/mparadis

Born in a small town near Quebec City, Steeve started playing rock n roll on drums at a young age in his parent's basement. At 16, out of shear curiosity, he came across old school hip-hop and was soon playing that sound on the turntables. He then founded his own mobile DJ Company with a mission to bring new sound to youngsters in his community and get money to buy vinyls. It was while mixing Guns n Roses with Afrika Bambaattaa that he discovered Detroit's "style" house music. It was the avenue to be forever hooked on minimal music and hard house! Later on, when he moved to Montreal, Ritchie Hawtin as well as artists from Cologne's greatest labels filled his every evening and opened his eyes to a new world of possibilities musically: he was sparked by the idea of down pitching a hard and damped techno bassline to the point it clearly sounds like deep progressive house music. Nowadays, as co-founder of Often Gruven recordings, he produces and promotes progressive electronic dance music inspired by artists like Sven Vath, Sasha, James Holden and his above mentioned favourites of course. www.myspace.com/sternreise

Luke's obsession with progressive house was born the instant he was introduced to Infusion's remix of 'Kate Bush - Running up that Hill' in 2003. This proved to be a pivotal moment in his life that would eventually lead to him pursuing the art of DJ'ing and more recently, production. In his first 12 months on the Melbourne scene Luke has played at various underground parties including Push, Circulation, preSSure, Interview & Neon Elektrik, and currently holds a weekly residency at Dirty Disco. He has also supported such international DJ's as Kriece & Luke Fair. Luke's most memorable gig to date led him all the way to Paradise Lounge in Mykonos, Greece in 2005. Yet it has been his desire to create music which has led him away from the decks and onto bigger challenges. Setting the goal to have his first release only 18 months after his venture into production, Luke has already achieved above and beyond this, with his first track 'Deja Vu' peaking at #11 on the Beatport progressive charts. With plenty of new material on the horizon for 2007, the future looks bright for this new talent from Melbourne. www.lukeporter.com www.myspace.com/djlukeporter

Many people are committed to professions and personal endeavors they never consciously planned to pursue. They attribute the shape of their lives to circumstance, taking on roles they feel are tolerable. Each of us, however, has been blessed with a purpose. For Jeff Andvik, it was music , feeding it into his daily life, stumbling upon the passion for it when least expected. Realizing he was able to express more than just an ear of art, but his personality and expression of feelings beyond. Talent is discovered when we least expect it, for Jeff it was at the age of 9 when he first dabbled with production. Since this memorable day, School occupied most of his time, until 2005, when Jeff decided to take things in a different direction. He buckled, bought vinyl, tables, and so sparked again his relationship with music.

After begging his parents he finally got a hold of his first electronic keyboard. After more begging he got hold of another keyboard which was a sampler. From starting bands to performing at clubs it has been one musical journey after another.

Maxim Prikhodko was born in Moscow, Russia in 1980. He entered musical school and started to learn how to play piano at the age of 7. He graduated from the musical school with the highest marks 7 years later. When he bought his first synthesizer (Korg N5) he was finally in heaven... he spent hours with his computer and synthesizer to understand them both better. But, he loaned his synthesizer to a friend because he was spending too much time writing music and he wanted time to finish his degree and graduate from the University. He quickly realized that he was unable to stop making music, and started to write rhythm sections, using bass lines and drums he had. He finally graduated, got his synthesizer back, and started to make music. In 2001 he entered Moscow State University for post-graduate study. This time he decided to devote his energy to music and break dancing. At that moment, his dream to become a member of a band came true. He played keyboard for an alternative group named Raven and had his first performance. But he has always wanted to produce dance music and he's now experimenting with different kinds of dance music, especially breakbeat, house and trance. www.spex-music.com www.myspace.com/elenoize
