DICA a.k.a KLAUS BONNEWITZ

 Thanks to his dad Dica grew up with electronic music by J.M. Jarre, Kraftwerk,

 Klaus Schultze, Space, Charlie Mike Sierra, Johan Timman and lots of others. 

 Strongly influenced by the artists mentioned, Dica found his way to the recordstores

 and started collecting his own vinyl in the early nineties. With Unit Moebius' release

 on the first Bunker Records a neverending love for underground music was born.



 And what's there to say about the Leiden based DJ/organiser at this time? He's

 still just your average guy that loves to play electronic dance music dated from the

 late seventies till present day. Dica likes to play long sets in which he can combine

 disco with acid, italo, electro and other obscurities not suitable for the narrowminded.

 Dica also spins his tunes under the name of Klaus Bonnewitz and aware of the fact

 that the music industry has been digitalised, he plays vinyl only.
 









 PATRIQUE

 DJ, musician, live act, party promoter, radio host and label manager Patrique has

 been playing innovative electronic dance music for over 15 years now. He combines

 several styles like (detroit) techno, dub, funk, (deep)house, minimal, dubstep and

 electronica in one smooth solid organic mix. Music that will take you on a journey

 with funky and hypnotic rhythms, warm strings and futuristic sounds. 



 The last few years Patrique merged his dj and live sets more and more. He likes

 to integrate analogue sounds into the digital world and vice versa. Patrique founded

 Sound Travels in 1999. Since that time several Sound Travels parties took place in

 Leiden, Alphen and Amsterdam.

 He also hosts Sound Travels Radio. Twice a month on Saturdays the latest tunes

 will be played on air. 










 BAZ REZNIK

 In the eighties, Baz Reznik developed a different taste in music than most people

 of his age. Because his brother played in clubs in the north of the Netherlands,

 Baz discovered the wonderful and diverse world of the TB303 and started collecting

 lots of vinyl. A typical set from Baz can start off with the early use of the TB303 in italo

 and from there a journey through the acid, disco, electro and squat-acid sounds from

 Bunker and Crème records from his hometown The Hague. 



 In 2008 Baz started to make his own music. One of his first tracks was quickly picked up

 by the Noize internet download compilation. In 2009 his first EP was launched on his own

 DYFR label. After this, the Syncom Data label (with releases of Syncom Data, Aux88,

 IFTODEX, Speedy J and Legowelt to name a few) offered him a contract on which he

 released his last 12 inch in 2010. Baz is also involved in the Arctic Boogie foundation.
