► Clockwork
Clockwork began in late 2010 in London, but in reality was born long before. Francesco Leali spent his youth in training as a classical musician. As his interest in electronic music grew, Francesco decided to harness his conservatory qualifications to foray into the electronic medium, and what began as a hobby became his passion and career.
This project manifests itself in two forms. In the studio he is a producer of subtle and melodic techno. Behind the decks he blends booming, moody bass with dark, stripped-down rhythms. As the project took shape, Francesco developed his technique with his former DJ partner Federico Maccherone, but eventually the two parted ways after which Francesco began focussing on his dynamic live sets with his friend and co-worker Avatism.
► Avatism (Live)
Thomas did not buy his first vinyl record when he was 10 years old, nor was he born out of the love of two underground jazz musicians. Despite an extremely dull and standard childhood during which he barely learned to play drums, his moody small-room music has been released on labels such as Vakant, Dumb-Unit and Haunt.
Much to everyone’s surprise, his recent releases, doom-laced live sets and collaborations have lead him to rise to similar popularity to other artists with more interesting biographies.
► Mind Against
Mind Against is a Berlin-based electronic music duo. The project is born in 2011 and in 2012 they recorded and released their first single "Cagliostro" on breakthrough label Life and Death.
Through the same imprint, Mind Against released in 2013 their debut EP "Atlant" to critical acclaim.
In 2012 and 2013 the duo have also composed several remixes for, amongst others, WhoMadeWho, Art Department, Róisín Murphy, PillowTalk and Avatism on labels such as Kompakt, Cocoon Recordings and aforementioned Life and Death.
While heavily influenced from IDM and with clear roots in techno and house, in most of cases their sound can not be easily related to an established genre.
► Rabota (Live)
Experimental techno, house and electronica are the output of a Rabota live performance, driven by a desire to give a unique, unrepeatable experience every time the stage is graced. DJing frustrated due to the lack of absolute control afforded by two tracks simply playing together. This, along with an individualistic view to musical genres, created the Rabota project.
► Doffa
Doffa honed his DJ skills by playing regularly all over the UK for a couple years and found the joy of digging for vinyl gems old and new. Influenced by everything from minimal, garage, driving deep house music and everything in between!
Doffa started making music in 2013, with a focus on the dance floor and experimenting with new sonic palettes. His debut release in the ever-growing UK underground dance scene, emerged in June in the form of Paume's 'Infra' earning him the attention from Anjunadeep's A&R team - a mean feat on anyone's first outing!
