Oliver Twizt

Born in Bilthoven and raised in Utrecht, Oliver Twizt aka Joel Rene became hooked to music on a very young age. Music played a big role in the family and it was his uncle, a music teacher, who introduced him to his first music software. Oliver started with making Hip Hop, R&B, Uk Garage, mash ups & bootlegs and slowly fell in love with house music. His producing skills gained great growth in time and he developed a kind of dance-floor booming formula. In this period he met Edin Ibrahimovic and together they formed the duo Skitzofrenix. Although he was quite invisible for the outside world, he was the founder and producer of the duo and responsible for tracks like Damn it, Turn da f*cking beat up, Wake up call, Bring the noise, Erick E’s “Beat is rocking” remix, Gregor Salto’s “Curtir” Remix etc. After this advantageous collaboration, his decision was made and the solo artist Oliver Twizt was born! Now that he produces as well as spins under the name of Oliver Twizt, he showed in a short time that his new sound gained a lot of popularity both national and international. Where he stopped with Skitzofrenix he continued and proved that his new sound comprises a new dimension. Oliver Twizt ‘s first release “DO THE MONKEY” ft. MC ROGA (on Spinnin’ Records NL), scored big time (reached 4th position in the DMC Buzzchart only in his pre-release phase ) and is licensed in countries like Germany (Tiger Records), Spain (Electric Spain) and Italy (Cinnamon Flava). The massive hit is supported by Fedde le Grand, Roger Sanchez, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Axwell and Judge Jules to name but a few! As a DJ Oliver plays a combination of deep-house, minimal, Chicago-, Detroit- and tech-house. One thing that’s very important in his record choice is the fact that they must contain a high dose of Underground! That’s why he plays a lot of own productions, but also artist like Lucio Aquilina, Worthy, Joseph Capriati, Claude von stroke, Massi Dl, Johnny D etc. In 2008 we can expect a lot from this young lad, besides loads of new tracks, Oliver Twizt will start his own label; Dark Knight Recordings, which will be a sub label from Gregor Salto’s G-rex Music. The label will be the home base for all minimal, deephouse, techhouse, techno and experimental producers who are down with the OT sound. Hard working Oliver wants to show that his productions will gain international respect and that’s his main goal this year! OT is determined to give a TWIZT to the dance music industry! Keep an eye on this young lad!!!!

Japanese Sword

Nima Gorji was born in Teheran (Iran) in 1972, and grew up surrounded by persian culture. His interest for music started when he was a kid, as he was often following his father which was a live musician to lots of gigs.
At the age of 13, they had to rush out of the country just a few months before Iran were closing it's borders. First refugee in Germany for 2 years, then the family finally settle down in a small town of Denmark where Nima begins his new life.
Having already a passion for music, he started to play in a local live band, and decided to study in a music school. Very quickly he turns his attention to piano and synthesizers, taking his inspiration from bands like Depeche Mode, the Cure and Erasure.
In 1999 he launched his label Welt Recordings together with the partner Thomas Madvig from MTV Europe

In 2005, Nima moved to Ibiza and, during the summer season of 2006, he took his residency at Space for the "What's Up?" party.
In 2007, he re-launched Welt Recordings for a second
life, together with Charlotte Antoniades aka Madame Tina, releasing tracks of different artists in digital format, and in 2008, they open Welt Sounds as a sub label for vinyl releases.

His releases can be found on his own label as well as 3rd floor records, Indigo Raw, love letter from oslo, murmur records and international freakshow.

Get Off The Grass

DJ Scott Langley is a growing international DJ with a great wealth of 15 years experience, playing all over the world. Scott started his journey into the dance scene at the early age of 13 traveling the country to the illegal acid house raves, it was only a matter of time till Scott got his first pair of Technic 1210's and within no time at all he was spinning at some of the Country's well known events. Musically, Scott started off with the acid house beats, then moved onto the hardcore which progressed into drum and bass, Scott, still spinning all over the country, found Ibiza in 1992 where the house music was big in force.

From his return to England, Scott then played house and has never looked back, till this day house music it still is! Scott has played in over 30 London clubs, and nearly 20 countries and played along side some of the biggest names in the business and some of the biggest clubs and promoters too. Musically, Scott is very diverse enough to play soulful US house, to deep funky tribal, progressive, tech house with a twist of dirty disco when need be. Scott has now locked horns with Kev McCarthy to create there own music and sound in there studio, which they built together and also with DJ partner That Disco Kid too, collectively known as Phunk Solution.
