 Meave de Tria // Bikini Rec
Im Alter von 10 Jahren saß Meave de Tria vor dem Radio und schnitt Songs auf Tape mit. Besonders fasziniert war er von dem damalige Dance Sound. Es war 1998, als er den Song hörte, durch den er sich in elektronische Music verliebte: ,Angel‘ von PvD. Das war ein komplett neuer und unglaublicher Sound für ihn. Danach suchte und kaufte er mehr von dieser Sorte Musik, von Trance bis House. Zu der Zeit waren beide Genres noch eng miteinander verknüpft. Aktuell besitzt er immer noch einige dieser Platten.

Heute hat sich Meave de Tria natürlich längst selbst einen Namen als DJ und Producer in der nationalen Houseszene gemacht. Er releast auf Labels wie 120dB Records, Safari Music, Bikini Records, Expulsion Records und vielen weiteren. Mit dem Auflegen begann er 2004. Der Werdegang war nahezu klassisch. Erst spielte er auf Partys von Freunden, dann in lokalen Clubs. 2008 veröffentlichte er seine erste Platte, diese hängt jetzt eingerahmt in seinem Studio, welches er damals natürlich noch nicht besaß. Er besaß lediglich nur einen kleinen Computer um seine Ideen und Demos aufzunehmen. Er musste ein richtiges Studio mieten, um seine Tracks zu produzieren oder um mit jemand anderem zu arbeiten. Lange Zeit machte er Musik nur zum Spaß und releaste nur ein, zwei Stücke pro Jahr. Er begann erst 2010 damit, professionell zu produzieren. Er war in der Lage, etwas Geld in sein eigenes Studio zu stecken, dadurch wurde er in der Deutschen-Szene bekannter und es verhalf ihm zu tollen Remix-Anfragen. Die Dinge entwickelten sich gut, es freute ihn sehr, dass Pete Tong in einer Folge des Essential Mix einmal seinen Namen aussprach, nachdem er einige Bootlegs von ihm spielte.

Hört man sich die Produktionen von Meave de Tria an, fällt auf, dass seine Variante des House Sounds von positiver Stimmung geprägt ist. Er mag aber nicht nur jene Happiness in einem Track, sondern auch etwas anderes. Eine Vorstellung von etwas, das cool, groovy und intim ist. Etwas, das deinen Körper und Geist in Bewegung setzt. Diesen Vibe möchte er auch in seinen DJ-Sets fortsetzen, aber eben vor allem beim Produzieren, wenn er merkte, dass er zu etwas tanzen will, dann weiss er, er ist auf dem richten weg.

Als DJ weiß der Kölner genau, welche Musik zu seinen Sets passt. Die Platte muss interessant sein und großartig klingen. Sie muss eine gute Struktur aufweisen und einen ordentlichen Groove. "Manche Tracks könnten großartig sein, sind aber langweilig, wenn du sie zu lange spielst oder ihr Breakdown zu lange ist. Sie brauchen dann ein bisschen Bearbeitung. Mein Bevorzugter Style ist auf jeden Fall Tech-House", so Meave de Tria. Bei den aktuellen Releases von Meave de Tria sticht besonders die neue Single HaHaHa hervor. Er wollte etwas schaffen, das cool war, allgemeine Begeisterung dafür erzeugen und die Nummer an einige Top DJs und Radiosender schicken. Und diese waren begeistert von der Single.

„Kollaborationen können Dinge mit in die Produktion bringen, an die man allein nie gedacht hätte, und man sieht die verschiedenen Herangehensweisen oder die unterschiedlichen Art und Weisen Plugins zu nutzen", sagt Meave de Tria. Tim Royko traf er vor einigen Jahren durch ein Bootleg, das er oft spielte. Er schrieb ihm dann, um Danke zu sagen und sie blieben in Kontakt. Heute sind sie gute Freunde und Tim Royko ist Resident DJ in Meave de Tria’s wöchentlichen Radio Show „Delicious Housetunes“ auf Hitradio MSOne. Die beiden treffen sich regelmäßig, entweder in seinem oder in Tim's Studio.

Fil Woody traf er letztes Jahr auf Facebook und konnte es kaum glauben, als er ihn bat, einen Remix für ihn zu machen. Sie chatteten dort erst miteinander, ein paar Monate später machten sie zusammen Musik.

Derzeit arbeitet  Meave de Tria an neuen eigenen Tracks und Projekten mit anderen Acts. Mit Fil Woody steht ein neues Release an, ebenso mit Tim Royko. „Die gemeinsamen Projekte sind immer positiv, sie helfen dabei, die musikalische Vision zu erweitern", so Meave. Gerne würde er neue Kollaboration mit weiteren Producern und Sängern, die er mag starten.





Coco Rock // Nikki Beats 

A new Shootingstar in the DJ's sky boards the clubs in the world.

If "Coco Rock" takes the Fader no dance floor remains empty, and no speaker quietly.

The Northrhine Westphalian by birth, is known for his propelling balearic Housesound. A perfectly co-ordinated mix from clubbombs and underground clubburner. „ Coco “, as him his friends call him, who gave his debut as a professional DJ during the well known Monday-radioshow of "Ministry of Sound, Germany“ with Radio Sunshine Live, provides for good mood where he only is able to.

His Bookings brought him already through some cities of Germany, but also already to the famous party island Ibiza, on which he had played in venues like the famous Blue Marlin Club or the Beach Palace in Playa den Bossa.

Since August, 2009 Coco serves the biggest German magazine for electronic music and club culture, the Raveline, as a record critic. Here he gives monthly insights into the newest tracks of his colleagues.

We may be curious which stations Coco Rock will book on his trip by the nights and the world of the electronic music.

 Tom Novy // Nouveau Niveau 

 In an industry where DJs and producers come and go in the blink of an eye, Tom Novy has sustained a career that has stretched over 18 years to date with no sign of him slowing down anytime soon! Achieving numerous chart hits, television appearances, world-renowned residencies and underground anthems, there is not a part of the dance music world that Tom has not graced with his infectious personality and endearing sense of fun.

Hailing from Munich, Germany, Tom has been firmly established on the dance music scene since 1995 when he released his first single ‘I House You' which immediately entered the top 10 of the German Dance Chart. The following year Tom released ‘Superstar' which gained him further international recognition and held chart positions in 18 countries worldwide. 1998 saw the release of ‘I Rock', a track that cemented his place on the European dance scene and a notched up an impressive 18 weeks on the Airplay Top 100.

After spending most of the 90's honing his skills as a DJ and releasing numerous chart and club hits, 2000 was the year when Tom's career really began take off on a global level. His track ‘Pumpin' reached #19 in the UK singles chart in June of that year and earned him the chance to mix the Ministry of Sound Annual compilation, becoming the first German DJ to do so. The following year saw him release his debut artist album ‘My Definition' which perfectly showcased Tom's wide range of influences and musical styles. The hits continued to flow in 2004 with the release of ‘Lovin U' a track which touched base with listeners as far a field as South Africa where it entered the national Top 10.

For all of his massive achievements up until this point it was in 2005 and the release of ‘Your Body' featuring Mike Marshall, that Tom really struck a chord with the mainstream. The track gained the support of every major UK radio station as well as MTV and subsequently entered the singles chart Top 10 in 2006 and held a top 15 place in no less than 20 other countries. Later in the year the re-released ‘Take It' featuring Lima scored another UK hit reaching number 37 and charted in the top 30 in Germany and Australia.Tom recently remixed the mighty Snap classic ‘Rhythm Is a Dancer' and scored a number one Beatport single in 2008.

On the remix front, the calibre of artists Tom has worked with could not be higher. Global superstars such as Justin Timberlake, Yoko Ono, Ludacris, Erick Morillo, Tom Jones & Mousse T, 10CC, Snap and Sander Kleinenberg have all come in for the expert Tom Novy remix treatment.

Back in Germany, Tom's charismatic demeanour has led him to become a successful television presenter, hosting a total of four shows (three of which are on MTV). Unsurprisingly given his natural stage presence, Tom hosts a weekly radio show on egoFM and has a slot on NRJ Beirut which he has held since 2002.

It is impossible to talk about Tom Novy without mentioning Space, Ibiza where he has held a residency for an unbelievable 14 seasons.
So with continued releases of the highest quality, gigs right across the globe and his radio shows still reaching listeners far and wide, it seems like there will be many more tales to be told in the story of Tom Novy.

 Tocadisco // Toca45 

Some people just don`t mix with the in-crowd. These, let us call them outsiders, prefer paving their own path to Easy Street. Often just loners with an unique vision, simply set to make difference in a somewhat unconventional way. Of course this “detour” might cause a slight delay, but nonconformists are usually not in a great hurry to get anywhere special. Their sole purpose is to get the job done exactly in the manner they intended to. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Tocadisco chose to live in Cologne, Germany. Well-known for its underground minimal sound, yet far from being the axis of modern day contemporary culture. Perfect for an artist to silently work in solitude, not facing the daily distractions of the overwhelming opulence of a boom town such as New York, London, Madrid.

Here near the Rhine river Roman B. started his prosperous musical career at a very young age. Based on the immediate success in the closer region, Tocadisco chose to turn his passion into his profession. Learning by doing is certainly this mans motto. Within an extremely short period of time the studio wizard taught himself how to record and produce tracks. No teachers, no musical education and no annoying guidelines. Soon after the prodigy already released his first single “Nobody Likes The Records That I Play” on Superstar Records. This more than unusual club-hit was his breakthrough anthem. A worldwide tour ensued, which led to an even more auspicious year 2005. His remix for the Mylo 12 inch “In Your Arms” became one of the most played records during the summer of 2005.

From then on his phone didn`t stop ringing, stupendous remixes for various artists succeeded. Axwell & Ingrosso, the Egg, A`Studio, ATB, Hi-Track, Philippe B. and many many more. But that didn`t keep this workaholic from banging out another killer track. “You`re No Good For Me” was another step for yet bigger things to come. Tocadisco`s wide musical taste somehow had to be expressed through other outputs.

Logically AC/OT was born, his underground pseudonym. During 2005 he released 3 four-track EP`s containing remixes by John Dahlbäck and Martinez. It was time for another single, “Music Loud/Crazy Cursor” hit the air-waves. Simultaneously laboring on red hot remixes for New Order, Deep Dish, Pet Shop Boys, Mylo, Linus Love, Sono, Etienne Daho (in cooperation with Fishersponner), Flatpack, Boosta, Funkwerkstatt, M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade, Enigma, Sharam from Deep Dish, Moby and the list goes on and on! Numerous outputs dominated the club scene globally, but Tocadisco`s the Egg rework of “Walking Away” has to be considered as one of the biggest releases of that year. MIXMAG called it the “biggest Dance Single of 2006”.

David Guetta even used the instrumental version of the remix for an official bootleg version of his first hit “Love Don`t Let Me Go”. Television even picked up on the track, Citroen used the remix for its worldwide car add. But everybody is probably wondering by now: When will this man release his first album?! Well, let me tell you, soon! He has just finished putting the final touches on his full-length LP. “Solo” will finally be available by January 2008. The first single “Better Begin” will showcase the Sono vocalist Lennart A. Salomon. That not being enough, Tocadisco launched a new underground series: The Black Series”, expect numerous outputs under this anonym in your local record store. Selfevidently he is also still more than busy remixing artists such as Tiga, Bob Sinclar, Tommie Sunshine, Amo & Navas, Axwell, DY10, Mighty Dub Katz (Fatboy Slim) and Culcha Candela. Tocadisco also helped out David Guetta on his new album, co-producing the piece “Tomorrow Can Wait” with him.

Does this man ever take a break? I guess not, but living in Cologne, this hack has got all the time in the world to work himself to the top of the mountain. This is just the beginning.
