  1. Whether it was his critically acclaimed debut on the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, or his rise to number 23 in the definitive DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, there wasn?t much that didn?t go right for Gareth Emery in 2008, a year that saw him become increasingly established as one of the most innovative, unique, and exciting figures in modern dance music. With his numerous world-class productions topping charts everywhere, and his explosive DJ sets continuing to pack out clubs across the globe, you could be forgiven for thinking he?s a long-established dance music old hand. Well he?s not: he?s 28, and as it happens, he?s only just getting started. Writing and playing music is fundamental to Gareth Emery. His first gigs were at the age of 4, when despite never having lessons, he turned out to be so handy on the piano that his teachers insisted on him taking over the duties in school assembly. At 15, he found himself neglecting classical music training to sneak out to play guitar in a local indie band so ahead of their years that they found themselves headlining Southampton?s music pubs despite all being underage. And at 22, whilst on holiday in France, fiddling with a £500 laptop and wondering what he was going to do with his recent politics degree, he wrote his first electronic classic: the seminal ?Mistral?. Plenty more were to come. Since then, the passing years have been pretty good to this young Brit. His relentless touring schedule now sees him banking around 250,000 air miles every year, unequivocally demolishing dancefloors at the world?s finest clubs and festivals. You?ll find him at global superclubs like Home in Sydney, Zouk in Singapore, The Guverment in Toronto and Amnesia in Ibiza. You?ll find him at festivals like Holland?s legendary 30,000 strong Trance Energy and Belgium?s Tomorrowland. And you?ll also find him at the likes of Godskitchen and The Ministry of Sound in his native UK. In short, his unique, distinctive style is one that?s got people talking, with events in over 25 countries a year a testament to his exploding worldwide popularity. Today, in the Emery studio, it?s all about innovation, setting benchmarks, and challenging perceptions. Constantly escaping categorisation, his productions, (which are composed, produced, and engineered entirely by him), span the worlds of trance, progressive, electro, techno, and a few other places. Languid, spacey grooves, juddering basslines, killer melodies, and hooks that take your breath away mean that it?s a given that Armin, Tiesto, Oakenfold, and Judge Jules have all been fully paid-up members of the Emery fan club for years, while both Ferry Corsten and Paul van Dyk have tipped him as a future star. Constantly ahead of the game, Gareth was one of the first DJs to embrace podcasting when he launched The Gareth Emery Podcast in early 2006. The antithesis of long drawn-out DJ mixes, the show soon became the essential download for switched on, savvy dance music fans, with each short but sweet episode providing a mouth-watering expose of the fortnight?s best music. Its success hasn?t gone unnoticed by the industry either, being nominated for ?Best Podcast? at the Miami IMDA awards every year since the category was introduced. With a list of achievements already far surpassing most DJs ten years his senior, Gareth Emery could easily sit back and be content with his lot, but you get the feeling that won?t be happening. His 2009 plans encompass a staggering amount of new projects, including his debut artist album: a long-awaited opus full of completely new material, and Garuda, his new record label and events brand he?s launching after previously heading the much-missed Five AM imprint. Listening to him speak about Garuda tells you all you need to know about the Emery ethos: ?I don?t care if we release two records a year or ten, as long as each one utterly blows me away?. And as long as the music passes his impossibly high barometer of quality, he isn?t even bothered if it sells, although given his flawless record of producing and signing tracks that top DJ and sales charts everywhere, you rather suspect they will. ?It?s about nothing more than hunting down the most incredible, life-changing music out there, and trying to give as many people as possible across this planet a taste of it?. And that?s what it?s all about, right? See you down the front.

  10. Klaas (Scream And Shout REC.) Hardly any other producer could make it to the top of the worldwide DJ elite in such a short time than Klaas. He influenced the German electro house sound significantly during the last years and remixed artists such as Guru Josh, Erick Morillo DJ Antoine, Greg Cerrone, No Angels, Eddie Thoneick, Aston Martinez, Michael Mind, Global Deejays or DJ Disciple. However, never lost sight of his own productions. Klaas cleared the way in 2006 with his remix of Micha Moor's - 'Space'. The Klaas Club-Mix turned out to be a worldwide success and was number one of Beatport but also the German Dance Charts for several weeks. He enjoyed worldwide support from DJ's such as Bad Boy Bill, Moby, Tiesto or David Guetta. With the 2007 released third Klaas single 'The Way', he was once again able to show his diversity in production innovation in the electro house area. 'The Way' climbed from 0 to #2 of the German Dance Charts during the first week and stayed in the top ten for several weeks in all relevant dance charts. Besides from the studio productions, Klaas has been touring the globe as DJ for a long time. Australia, New Zeeland, Scandinavia, U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Russia, France, England - the list of gigs seems to be endless. In spring 2008 Klaas succeeded in another coup. His remixes of the classics such as 'Guru Josh - Infinity', 'Horny United - Crazy Paris' or 'G&G - My My My' nearly all made it into the top 10 of the German Dance Charts at the same time. And as if that were not enough - the 'Klaas-Mix' of Guru Josh's Infinity turned into a fast-selling item after a short period of time, which stayed in the top 20 of the German Single-Charts for half a year and had a peak position of rank # 4. Not only was Klass remixing Infinity, but was also responsible for the characteristic vocals of the original mix. With the remix of Infinity, Klaas finally caused international furore. As the producer of the single, he received multiple gold and silver awards in Germany, Great Britain, Denmark and Norway. The official music video counted 38,000.00 hits on YouTube within 6 months and was listed under the top 45 of the best videos and was one of the top 3 of the most favourite videos. His current release ?Make You Feel' was placed immediately after it's release in the top 10 of the German Dance Charts for several weeks and is once again a garnet for an emotional gripping electro house production made by Klaas. Just now, Klaas finished off a remix of the world hit 'I like to move it', which will be released in spring 2009 with Defected Rec.

  25. **grand opening of glow thursdays at lima** born in buenos aires, hernán grew up listening to bands like simply red, level 42, depeche mode and new order whilst carefully studying billboard magazine, the only source of information that was readily available at the time. in 1987, one of his friends visited vinylmania in new york and returned with some vinyl ?hernán?s first exposure to chicago house. in that moment, frankie knuckles, who should have a huge influence on hernán and his blossoming career, broke into the scene and quickly became an icon of the incipient house genre. the way frankie knuckles and artists like inner city and derrick may brought together the energy of european electronic music with the soul of north american music left an impact on hernán and set the tracks for his career. his elemental understanding of dance music might be the reason why he could firmly position himself amongst the most respected djs of the world. in the middle of the nineties, hernán had become the cultural force of the dance music movement that was still in its infancy in his country. as a resident in clubland buenos aires, his talent was quickly recognized and his name soon associated with the most respected figures of dance, such as paul oakenfold ?turning into one of his closest friends as their relationship evolved-, sasha, john digweed and danny tenaglia. clubland soon grew to be one of the renowned clubs in the world. hernán?s eclectic deep house, tribal and progressive sets attracted the attention of the superclub cream who then chose hernán to become their southamerican resident. his career took off in 1996 and 1997 when both years he won a local award of ?dj of the year? and, after joining paul oakenfold on his european tour, a lot of doors were opening for him. playing universities and clubs all over britain and mainland europe, he managed to stun his receptive audience with his passionate sets and his impeccable mixing techniques. consequently, he got signed to oakenfold?s label perfecto with whom he released his first ever international mix cd south america. it was again down to oakenfold that hernán, in 98 and 99, traveled to the united states and was invited to a row of prestigious events and festivals such as burning man, in nevada and the red rocks amphitheater, in denver. immediately after that, he was made resident in cream liverpool as well as in ibiza and started touring all around the globe. in summer 2001, hernán could already look back on an extensive string of important events and festivals, such as the clapham common festival in london, where he played in front of 70,000 people, creamfields, homelands, as well as the cream birthday party in liverpool. by that time, cattáneo also entered the dj mag ranking, firmly positioning himself on number 50 as well as on the cover of the magazine. that same year his track deep funk hit the charts on number 50, he was voted ?best newcomer dj? at the prestigious pacha ibiza awards, and started his own radio show on the argentinean radio station metrodance (95.1 fm). less than a year later, hernán moved into the top 25 of the dj mag ranking. hernán?s career was now accelerating at light speed. he did not only continue to wow the masses in the best clubs and most prestigious festivals of the world, he also continued to leave a mark as a producer, making a stunning remix for morgan page which went out on bedrock, john digweed?s well-respected label. as well as producing in conjunction with subliminal -and yoshitoshi- favorite dean coleman, he went into the studio with the prolific john tonks who would later become his production partner and with whom he also made another noteworthy production such as the remix of the techhouse track heron castle. with the objective to make the most out of his success, hernán decided it was the perfect moment to put out another mix cd. luckily enough, he got snapped up by rennaissance who at that time were looking for an adequate successor for their masters series, which focusses on the presentation of the most talented global djs, such as sasha, john digweed, deep dish and danny howells, among others. with great enthusiasm, hernán exceeded all expectations. the year 2004 turned out to be one of the most intense in his burgeoning djing career. he traveled all over the world promoting his renaissance mix album; played at the best clubs in europe, toured five times to the united states and three to asia. at the same time, he began an active participation on the media, taking on assignments as music reviewer in the north american music publications urb magazine and bpm and on rolling stone?s latin-american edition. at the end of the year, he found himself on position number 6 in dj mag?s ranking. by the beginnings of 2005, hernán released the anticipated second part of renasissance?s master series ?being the first ever dj asked to do a another volume for the label? which included a track called warsaw with john tonks, consequently put on on bedrock, and a remix on jeff bennett?s strange items, which hit the number one spot in mixmag?s update. the same year, hernán began another world tour. the highlights of this restless four-cities-per-week tour included shows in the united states where hernán performed alongside the likes of the chemical brothers and new order, and at coachella festival with headliners such as coldplay, nine inch nails, prodigy and kasabian. in may 2006, hernán launched, again through renaissance, his own cd series called sequential which, so far, has earned him only top rankings in the world?s leading music publications: it scored five out of five stars and ?leading player? in dj mag, full rating in uk?s m8, and ?4 out of 5 ?the best compilation hernán?s ever made? in idj mag. one of the top tracks is hernán?s rework of nick miur?s i feel real. sirocco, hernán?s new single, again produced with studio partner john tonks, turned out # 1 in the balance chart and top five downloads of www.djdownloads.com with an eclectic mix of tracks that includes a whole variety of house rhythms and productions from artists such as way out west, marco bailey, paolo mojo, 16 bit lolitas, dousk, bushwacka and a remix for phonique featuring royksopp?s erlend Øye, his first installation of sequential has become essential. the selection of tracks is not only utterly tasteful but also manages to transcend genres with each track having its own distinct sound and feel to it, united by a stimulating bassline and subtle breakdowns. for the cover artwork, renaissance managed to win the acclaimed photographer john ross who has previously worked with kylie minogue, the manic street preachers and deep dish. this attention t detail as a finishing touch makes sequential a delight appealing to all senses. hernán continues, in it?s fifth consecutive year, attracting a global audience through his own radio show on metrodance (saturdays 22 to 24 hrs) www.metro951.com
