Claas Reimer

Derek (D.) Hasty

It needs not be written that one is influenced by the environment from which they stem, although it rings true once again for Hasty. Born into a family of musicians and creators alike, the music bug buried itself in his mind at an early age. From the very first piano lesson as a child, to creating monophonic ringtones for early 21st century mobile phones, being raised on the cusp of the millennial generation provoked Hasty’s skill set to grow comfortably with the technology enveloping it.

With no formal musical education, Hasty moves forward with his music production as a lesson, an adventure, and a challenge. Striving to create boundless music that cannot be pretentiously strewn about into genres and categories, he draws from experience and inspiration. Warm, deep bass tones circa the Miami Bass Movement in the 90’s. Uplifting, euphoric melodies inspired by the classic Trance sound that eventually enticed Hasty into all things DJ. It’s clear that this man’s taste and style is vast, from the 808 snared-hiphop beats, to the chunky-funky classic house vibes. “Do what you love, love what you do.”

For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project he has chosen the track „Gently Squeezed“ to rework it in a cosy melodic way.

Katja

Katja, born 1995 in Italy is a half italian-half polish singer, currently based in Milan. Her singing is characterized by a warm, deep voice. Since childhood she has been collecting musical experience through various bands and projects. She started early writing songs with a focus on electronics and is collaborating with different producers.

Lars Leonhard

His strong liking for electronic music led him to explore the realms of ambient, dub-techno and deep-house and in 2010 he signed with BineMusic on which he released two full albums 1549 and Seasons – Les Quatre Saisons, a 12″ vinyl EP called No Comment and featured on one their compilations. Followed a vinyl release on DimbiDeep and several collaborations.

The American Space Agency NASA spotted Lars in 2013 on Youtube and is currently illustrating its scientific explorations videos with his compositions. Following his participation to Mahiane’s Oxycanta III compilation, Lars Leonhard is working on the release of two digital EPs on Ultimae. For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project he has chosen the track „District 9“ to rework it in his own relaxed style. He also created a fantastic remix of Carsten Kellers “Metaphorik” in 2017.

Lauro Martins

Born in Brazil and raised in California, Lauro Martins was introduced to music at a very young age. Having a father who was a DJ himself gave Lauro access to hundreds of genres of music to listen to and learn about. Playing his first Trance party at the age of 17 in brazil gave him the confidence to follow his heart in the Electronic Music scene of that time.

Now in his late 20’s his love is for House Music, producing Quality Deep and Tech House tracks with a lot of Latin and African inspiration, releasing on Locked Records, Arch44 Music, WTF! Music, Mad Music Recordings and many others.

For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project he has chosen the track „Dreamz“ to rework it. He slowed down the tempo and added his own very deep and minimalistic groove to it.

Max Würden

Max Würden is a drummer with a passion to play everything which is generating sounds. Since 1987 he is a musician in different formations and composing music for movies since 2001. His tracks consist for nearly 80 % of outdoor recorded samples or samples from sessions with different instruments which he edits electronically. He always leaves the sound to the structure of a song, from the rhythm of which the melody forms, thus creating films for the head and for the screen.

He has already released several tracks and albums on labels such as Kompakt Records, Farfield Records, Tonatome, Circuit and Tinnitus Hörspiele. Additional he created works for the Filmhaus Cologne, Nindo Films, ARD, WDR, Toshiba Germany, General Electric, Edition Roadhouse and UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme).

In 2008 he won the 1live PLAN B radio play competition with LUCID DREAMS and the PEER RABEN MUSIC AWARD 2010 / Best music in a short film / Nominated with the soundtrack to the short film BLUFF / CHRISTIAN FISCHER.

For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project he has chosen the track „Nightshift“ to rework it and created a really stunning straight and moving forward Tech House tune.

Nycteus

Some things are giving birth into the deep, wild, endless warmth of darkness. Nycteus was born in darkness, managed to survive where others can’t, fed with exotica flavoured insects and tropical dark flowers, obey into the power of night, became slaves of the hungry monster.

Nycteus came out from your wildest dreams, live with darkish Bassline grooves and play whenever is dark enough. Their first releases are out on VIM Records and there is more to come.

For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project they have chosen the track „Rainforest“ to rework it and turned it into an experimental Electro Breaks bomb. Also they remixed “Solar Eclipse” from the release “Totemic” by Carsten Keller.

pEQy

Being a singer, harmonica-, guitar- and bass-player in a couple of blues, rock and country bands for as long as he thinks, pEQy started to work his way into the field of electronical music just a couple of years back. Since 2015 you will find him mostly on tour with the Swinging Rockabilly Band “The Wyatt Christmas Five”.

His musical quest starts just there: „I might be impressed of something someone does. But if it doesn’t drive me emotionally it remains just a show off or simply pure math – not music“.

For the CLSRM Digital Remixed Project he has chosen the track „The Grinch“ to rework it in his own relaxed style and gave it his personal melodic note by adding some smoove strings and a laidback arrangement.

Sabiani

Sabiani grew closer with electronic music in the year 1999 in Switzerland, where he bought his first Yamaha synthetizer. In the following years, he started to collaborate with DJs Fero and Fedor, which actually meant the genesis of Wattaz promotion. Wattaz promotion organized number of various parties and the famous Slovak openair festival Rotor is their work too. Sabiani plays everything from house, electro, breakbeat to progressive psytrance.

Nowadays, the variety of his records is quite uniqe. Therefore he is able to present sets, which are very rich in sound. If you like a progessive cybersound, youre going to love his performance. The greatest kick of this young man though is his own production. He is the author of some well made tracks released on several labels. His own music label, Digital Paradox records is the result of this.
