ROLAND APPEL

(SONAR KOLLEKTIV) (00h.)

When Roland began to make music in clubs at the beginning of 90s, the concept of electronic music was not the same as it is now. In recent years, and in particuarly around 2000 to 2004, Nu jazz style strongly influenced the house mucic scene and this all originated in Germany with artists like Fauna Flash and Trüby Trio. Roland worked as a major player in both of these combos, and in 2002, he formed Boom, a new project with Peter Kruder. After living in Paris for a while he released "Dark Soldier" as a solo affair, culminating in his first lp “Talk To Your Angel", mixing styles such as Detroit techno, with folk, disco, soul and of course, house.

CHEZ DAMIER

(KMS / MOJUBA / PRESCRIPTION - CHICAGO) (00h.)

It's difficult to imagine house music without the name Chez Damier. His contributions and influence have spread over nearly two decades, from early work on his hometown of Chicago labels like Prescription, KMS, Serious Grooves, to his current project The Music Institute, with fellow legends Derrick May, Kevin Suanderson, Ron Trent, Alton Miller, Chez is one of House music's biggest players, I can't remember a time when I didn't have a 12” or two by the man in my box. My copy of 1992's “Can you Feel it?” was a staple of my set for nearly 15 years! Enough said? Check him out.
