W.J. HENZE
[Federation of Drums/Danza Electronica/Delirium Red/Zenit]

W. Jorg Henze is internationally recognized as a DJ, producer and record label
founder. He founded the labels “Federation of Drums”, “Danza Electronica”, “Dawn”
and “Delirium Red.” Frankfurt-born Henze is always at the leading edge, as
demonstrated not only by his performances as a DJ, but also by his many successful
productions for world renowned artists. His style of music is best described as
unmistakable banging hard and minimal techno.

He can already look back on a string of releases, produced together with gleaming
techno artists from the likes of Oliver Lieb, Toni Rios, Frank Lorber, John Selway,
Pascal FEOS, Marco Zaffarano, Thomas Heckmann, and too many more to mention. He has
also done remixes for Lsg, Robert Armani, Josh Wink, Amphetamine and labels
including Primevil, Terminal M, Black Nation, Traction, Invasion, Pocket, Highland
Beats, Endangered Species, Frisbee, Bound, Kneedeep, Ascend, Corachi, P.V., Delerium
Red, Speaker Attack, Deafult, Danza and his own Federation Of Drums and Supersonic
Combustion labels.

Of Henze's nearly 15 aliases, his most notable alias, Gecko, delivered an
outstanding energetic masterpiece of progressive techno. "Just Close Your Eyes" was
a wildy successful track, attaining play from many of the top techno jocks, as well
as being licensed for nearly a dozen compilation CD's.

For 2005, Henze now brings us his latest venture: "Ash and Diamonds." Under his
Gecko moniker, we have a brand new 3 track EP to launch the label in conjunction
with his forthcoming "Ash and Diamonds" album. Already signed to Zenit, this Ep is
just a little taster of the many different productions styles from Jörg Henze. For
all fans of pure techno music, the album will showcase 10 new pumping floorkillers
based on powerful WJH rhythm constructions directed straight towards the floor.

AGENT ORANGE
[Gotham Grooves/Terminal M/Tech-Support]

NYC's Agent Orange has performed across the globe in countries like Greece, Holland,
France, Belgium, Italy, S. Korea, Colombia, and Venezuela, side by side with some of
the best international artists including, Christian Smith, Misstress Barbara,
Cristian Varela, Deetron, and Ben Sims, Marco Bailey, & Marco Corola, just to name a
few. A serious producer since 1997, he is also co-founder, A&R, and one of the main
artists on his own label Gotham Grooves and is also signed to Monika Kruse’s
prestigious, Terminal M label from Berlin, Germany.

Agent Orange strives hard to add creativity, originality, and a new sound to his own
musical productions and his DJ sets. Simply put, hard groovy beats that make you
shake it on the dance floor! His foundation is Funky and Hard Techno, but by using
his refined DJ skills, he takes his dance floors to the next level by presenting
many different elements, such as Tribal, Latin & Jazz, and is well known for
dropping in a classic tune to turn it out. Imagine if you were to take the purity
and raw energy of Techno, and infuse it with the groove and filthy, funky beats of
House…now you’re getting the true Agent Orange experience!

Look out for new releases and remixes by Agent Orange on Gotham Grooves, Terminal M,
773 Tekno, Beretta Music, and other labels, such as Ade Fenton’s Advanced from the
U.K. Agent will continue delivering his exciting, creative brand of music to many
labels and clubs throughout the world.

DJ BECKA
[Gotham City Radio/Gotham Grooves]

Becka's unique blend of tech-house, minimal and hard techno have thrust her into a
class of heavyweights where the likes of Miss Djax, Electric Indigo and Misstress
Barbara reside. For the past 11 years Becka has been showing the US what's up with
her hard hitting techno style playing events from here to the other side of the
Atlantic, such as DEMF in Detroit, Tronic Treatment, FUSE in Brussels, Metropolis in
Paris, and more recently Montuno Vibes in Ghent, Belgium! In addition to being an
outright vinyl junkie, this young lady can play a range of styles that compel you to
dance - mainly letting loose a turbulent assult on the senses, plummeting you to
lose control of yourself with her mind altering techno!

LASIX
[HomegrownNYC/Tech-Support]

Driven by a deep passion for music, Lasix is quickly gaining a reputation for
high-quality, no-nonsense track selection and the ability to play to any size venue,
adjusting his sets anywhere from ethereal tech-house to funky, tribal techno, and
all the way up the scale to hard, banging techno. Some of the artists he's shared
bills with include: The Advent, Misstress Barbara, Lenny Dee, Adam X, Frankie Bones,
Marco Bailey, Bryan Zentz, Space DJz, Tim Xavier, and many more. In addition to his
current residency with Tech-Support, he also held down three residencies on Long
Island between 2000 and 2002 before joining up with Homegrown. Regular appearances
with New York's most respected techno troupe, Tronic Treatment, have proven he's not
afraid to step up in prime time.
