Nikko.Z was born in 1985 in Greece. From a very young age, he expressed his great love for music. Bands like ‘Pink Floyd’ and ‘The Doors’ were a great influence on him.

The djs 'Hernan Cattaneo', ‘Sasha' and 'John Digweed' were and still are a row model for Nikko and those who influenced him deeply at the age of 14 years. Growing up, he started exploring and listening to electronic music. As the influence on him grew bigger, the purpose was born – make his own tunes. At the early age of 15 he started DJing, which after a while became a real love for electronic music and his big passion. At that time the decision was made - produce his own tracks, to leave his musical mark.

In 2006 he attended SAE International Institute in Athens and graduated successfully from electronic music production. Over the past six years he has created several productions (in his own studio). More than 20 different labels throughout the world have trusted and released his productions. He has also presented his dj sets as a guest at several internet radio stations, such as Proton Radio,Frisky Radio,CrossFm,Golden Wings,Dance Radio and in quite many clubs both in Greece and abroad (Europe,South America & the USA).

His music gets support from artists like Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Paul Oakenfold, Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, Satoshi Tomiie, Marco Carola, Anthony Pappa, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and many more…

Since 2012 he successfully runs the record label Dopamine and the sub label Dopamine White with more of 100 releases of artists from around the world. Among them is also Hernan Cattaneo who produced a remix of Nikko's track Slope. The releases receive great feedback and support from the most renowned artists of the scene.

The last five years he has been sharing his knowledge on music production by delivering courses in music institutes such as the Tsitsanis Museum.

Hailing from Lille, France, Clawz SG has been an avid electronic music enthusiast from a young age. His passion for producing was initially something he engaged in purely for himself and his friends, however after much support and encouragement, he finally decided to take that final leap, thus paving way for the birth of Clawz SG.

Clawz SG stays true to his roots and remains an old school synth aficionado, having collected an impressive selection of numerous analogue vintage synthesizers over the years. His name has become synonymous with the Deep House and Melodic Techno sounds of today.

His debut release with Parquet Recordings in 2014, was a significant milestone clocking up two highly acclaimed collaborated tracks titled “Obvious” and “Abyss”. The success from Parquet 082 cemented a solid springboard for his musical art form and opened the flood gates to a succession of accomplished releases. To date he has remixed and produced originals with a number of well-established labels and his creative aspirations have compelled him to embark on a new and exciting phase of his career by joining the Steyoyoke Recordings family.

With numerous releases and EPs under his belt, broadening his career will never change Clawz SG’s deep-seated morals or values. He’s an individual with strong family ties, even dedicating an entire EP to his family and proudly upholds many noble attributes within all his professional connections, which assures lasting relationships and solid honest partnerships within the industry.

With all these positive traits and artistic facets to boast, Clawz SG has definitely found kindred spirits in his alliance with the Steyoyoke family. 2024 is looking bright with a new album on the horizon.

Electronic, melodic, emotional, playful and dreamy are probably the most apt arguments for Micrologue's style and his individual implementation of electronic music.
His performances can hardly be described in words. It is the magic that spreads throughout the room and accompanies its audience on a journey far away from everyday life.

Micrologue has now been an integral part of the existing techno scene as a DJ, producer, organizer and club operator for over 20 years and has proven his talent regionally and nationally.

Paul Hazendonk was born in the suburbs of Rotterdam in 1982. As a young kid he already developed an excessive interest for music, quickly discovering house music and noticing the deejays who were mixing records together.

He got his first club gig at age 18 and after that it all seemed like one big rollercoaster ride. In the first years of his career he already played at some of Hollandʼs most famous clubs, parties and festivals. Shortly after, his talents also got noticed abroad.

Paul started his first label, Technique, back in 2002 whilst working at the legendary record company and store Basic Beat which was located in the heart of Rotterdam. Now-days both Technique and Basic Beat are defunct but Paul is more active than ever in the record business, being the owner of the Manual Music / MNL company. Paul Hazendonk and his Manual Music is one of the backbones of electronic music in the Netherlands and beyond. Max Cooper, Hernan Cattaneo, Eelke Kleijn, Matador, Robert Babicz, John Tejada, Petar Dundov, Henry Saiz and Guy J are among a list of the world’s finest producers who made it onto the prolific Dutch imprint. The kind and gentle Rotterdam native label boss has seen over 35 countries as a DJ and released music on labels such as Diynamic, Sudbeat, Get Physical, 3000grad, Sony/Epic and numerous other infamous labels.

Having always been a DJ first and a producer second, it took some time before Paul got busy in the studio, but in the last couple of years his name as a producer is getting more and more known globally, after having signed to respected labels such as Hope Recordings, Diynamic Music, Sleaze Records, Einmusika, Sudbeat, Proton Music, Lowbit Records + naturally his own label Manual Music.

Both his DJ and production style has evolved throughout the years from full on techno to a more mature sound, music with an infectious drive, blending (deep)house, and melodic techno, depending on time and place of performance.. But who cares for all those genre tags anyway, right?

An amazing driving set that perfectly fits into Drift theme.

The project AquAdro, was born in Benevento (Italy), since January 2007. The duo is formed by Andrea Del Grosso and Antonio Castaldi. Their career was influenced by the great progressive era 2000 and by big artists like Hernan Cattaneo, Deep Dish, Satoshi Tomiie, Moshic etc... AquAdro also started a record label “Revelation Records” in 2013.
Their constant musical research never ends and with the mutation of their kind they have been able to adapt without ever leading to the banal proposing in their sets a kind of melodic "progressive hybrid" sound with nuances that vary from house, deep and techno.
