Out of the dungeons of Moenchengladbach, Germany the thirty-something pulls the strings and makes things happen. His recent and most successful move definitely was to give birth to the already well established electro/house imprint Systematic in 2004 in Berlin which is a platform for his own productions as well as for hot and upcoming talents. Electronic house music with a certain breakdance appeal, reminiscent of old school Chicago dance floor insanity is Romboy's true passion, when it comes to deejaying, producing and making decisions as the Systematic commander! So far for the label he has collaborated with such high profiled artists as Booka Shade or Blake Baxter and signed tracks and mixes from producers like Martin Landsky, John Dahlbäck, Phonique, Jence or Abysm. After only a couple of releases Romboy managed to put his own stamp on the international club scene and his first artist album Gemini was released in 2006 His second artist album for Systematic records, Contrast released in June 2008, sees an electronic album of collaborations with some of dance music's most excellent vocalists. Chelonis R. Jones - known for releases on Get Physical and for his collaborations with Röyksopp - contributes on two releases. Blake Baxter - a regular Romboy collaborator who has also released on Kevin Saunderson's KMS imprint, Tresor, Disko B and Underground Resistance - adds his vocals to 'Fly Away'. And Mr. K-Alexi - one of Chicago's finest who has also collaborated with artists including Larry Heard, Robert Owens, Will Smith and Felix Da Housecat, lends his voice to two tracks on the album.

Since 1994 Stefan Eichinger a.k.a. Lopazz has been part of the Heidelberg based HD800 team. He also runs the multimedia label 800achtspur, and is renowned as a film composer, having written more than 30 scores over the years. In 2001, he had success with Redagain P when they remixed the Miami Vice theme; then, in 2003, Lopazz's self-titled EP was released by Output Recordings, followed by the singles "Blood" (including a Tiefschwarz remix) and his first bona fide club hit "I Need Ya" (later re-licensed by French fashion label Colette). It's success led to Lopazz remixing Germany's biggest pop act Xavier Nadoo, while techno legend Sven Väth snapped up "I Need Ya" for his Sound of the Fourth Season mix CD. Stefan's relationship with Berlin-based Get Physical Music began when he was commissioned to remix Chelonis R. Jones' "Don't Know". The label went on to issue Lopazz's own vocal track "Migracion", which was subsequently remixed by Chilean superstars Luciano and Ricardo Vilallobos. Releases for Compost Black Label, Output and Lasergun followed, along with remixes for the likes of Isolee, Product 01 and Richard Bartz.

Germany's minimal dance connoisseur, Steve Bug, started his DJ-career in a small after-hour bar near Ibiza's Space back in 1991 - soon becoming resident DJ in the best club in his hometown Bremen and booked to major German events such as the Love Parade. In 1993 he released his first productions on Hamburg-based Superstition Recordings (which were immediately licensed by Risin' High- UK) and in 1996 he founded his own label Raw Elements, followed by a 12" for Felix Da Housecat's Radical Fear imprint. After "Volksworld", his first LP on Raw Elements, together with the mix compilations "Da Minimal Funk Part 1 & 2" Steve put the label to sleep in order to set up two brand-new platforms for vinyl releases - Dessous and Poker Flat. Always crossing the bridges between house and techno with relaxed dignity, showing consequently that less can often be more, Steve Bug is soon to be acclaimed minimal tech-house master and one of the few gems of the innovative German electronic house scene. Poker Flat establishes itself as the number one source for stripped down futuristic house music with amazing musical diversity and it's name spreads like wildfire with Steve's eternal minimal clubhit "Loverboy" in 1999 - the opener to his album "The Other Day" and the very first release on Poker Flat. For his second label- the deep house oriented Dessous - Steve shows his passion for late night unhurried house and teams up with Vincenzo for the project "Discowboys". A new mix compilation "Steve Bug presents The Flow" was released on Cocoon Records in 2001 and Steve remixes Robotman, ADNY a.k.a. Alexi Delano, Antonelli Electr. feat. Miss Kittin and others on labels such as Raum...musik, Italic, Turbo Records and his own imprint Poker Flat Recordings. Steve Bug releases his third album "Sensual" in late 2002 and teams up studiowise with Richie Hawtin for "Low Blow" on Minus as well as with Common Factor for a 12" on Tactile. The 3rd Da Minimal Funk compilation and remixes for Funk D'Void, Jeff Samuel and Freaks follow. Steve Bug's continues playing with seductive and laid-back funk, dirty retro basslines and random bleeps, incorporates techno electro and basic funk into bare house grooves creating moody minimal and seductive music. Further new Releases like %u201EFuture Retro 101, Traffic Signs (1, 3 ,4 and 5) and Tanzbug with Mathias Tanzmann follow showing Steve's love for the dancefloor and prove that he has an over abundance of funk and minimal melody coursing through his veins. For his third label, Audiomatique, founded as a playground for modern styles of Techno and House, on only the 4th release Trentemøller's Physical Fraction already scored a big success. This massive Clubhit was the breakthrough for Danish shooting star Anders Trentemøller. The next hit dropped with Martinez' %u201ESchadow Boxing". The new Steve Bug Single %u201EThe Smackman EP" came out on Poker Flat in early 2006, followed by the second edition of "Bugnology" in late spring 2006. Apart from his work for Poker Flat and Audiomatique, he still has his hands on Dessous as well and compiled one CD of the double-CD "Skin Is In" compilation in summer 2006.
