Miss Sunshine is a deity of techno that commands attention while performing and beyond
doubt one of the biggest electronic music fan. Always had an interest in music, but
her passion for it evolved back in 1995, when she started to frequent the underground
techno parties. She was perfectly placed to hear Balkan electronic music in its earliest
forms. She began her journey on the radio show “Clubhopping” (together with Loki
Masa), the first “on air” electronic music experience in the area at that time and
landed a prime residency at the Oxygene club in 1999 which led into a two year residency
at Vega club. She played at the the serial of partys “Drumatica” together with big
names of techno scene like Bone, Valentino Kanzyani, Jel Ford, Funk D.. Void, Gayle
San and many more. Through her DJ sets or her productions on labels like Monocline,
Dual Musik, Eminor Rescue Mission or Schoene Musik, Miss Sunshine unifies perceptions
of open minded people in her graceful sense for sounds and minimal tones, strengthened
with solid tech grooves and the love of challenging music without boundaries. Keeping
along her path in 2000 she appeared on Croatian Annual Music Awards - Black Cat (“Crni
Macak”), where she had the opportunity to host the Electronic music Category. In
2002, Miss Sunshine’s music took her to Valkana Beach Festival (Croatia) and Exit
Festival (former Yugoslavia). She was also requested to attend the Sunrise Festival
(Croatia) and Lady’s Sound Attack (Germany) during the same year. People responses
to the music, their peculiar lives, and exceptional party scenes have inspired Sunshine
throughout the time and kept her hooked on the point of it: foster original sounds,
mix music that mesmerizes audiences on the dance floor every time she performs, even
though every so often her spins leads to the darkest and deepest corners of electronic
music. 2006 has been another astonishing busy year for Miss Sunshine taking in venues
across Europe. She also joined the Tuborg green DJ Academy as coach, teaching young
people the basics in DJ skills, history and equipment. Same year Sunshine meets Marko
Moree and together they start a techno/ minimal/ house sound project. The next step
was to make music and 2007 brings the debut EP “The morning after” on Decoded Mini
records and the remix of the Mexican artist Isis Signum on Advanced Synergy rec.
At the beginning of 2009. the “Look Expensive” EP and remix for Sinisa Lukic’s track
“Dry & Wet”, caused a stir and was sustained by many respectable DJs like Paul Hazendonk
whom requested it for the “Sound Shifting 2.0” studio dj mix, released on Manual
Music label. Soon after this came the opportunity to do a remix for great Belgian
DJ and producer, Tom Hades and his “ Cinema Club“ track, alongside with well-known
Brazilian DJ and producer Wehbba. The release was gaining critical acclaim by world
famous djs like Laurent Garnier, Joey Beltram or Chris Fortier. In 2009 she joined
Queens of Minimal Techno, music collaboration with Viktoria Rebeka. Queens of Minimal
Techno events are an underground music experience presented across Europe and stand
for quality electronic music. As music is the soundtrack of her life, Miss Sunshine
ends 2009 with her first solo release: Hush! EP on Monocline Rec. together with remix
from Re:Axis, famous duo from Portugal. Ep charted by Tim Xavier in December; supported
also by Miro Pajic, Billy Johnston, Patrick Bateman, Zhao, Jonas Reuther. Both tracks
end up on Beatport minimal top seller chart (highest rank, 49th place). Very busy
start of 2010 with the second solo Ep Sugar Drops, out on Dual Musik (home of the
famous producers: Barem, D.Squillace, Easy Changes etc.) gained support from Heron,
B. Johnston, Jan Hendez, and was described as outstanding cutting edge electronics,
artfully reduced and pleasantly unhousy. (Jonas Reuther) Over the years Sunshine
has built up a varied list of DJs/Producers that she has played with. To name only
some, she has spun next to; Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Billy Nasty, Oxia, Umek, Aril

VIKTORIA REBEKA
(PAPSTEC, MARE RECORDS)
www.myspace.com/viktoriarebeka
Viktoria Rebeka, a lady with courage, cadence and fine senses for tempo; as consequence
of, she sets out multi-dimensional music, like a river floating downhill and uphill
in the same time. Since early childhood she was expressing herself with rhythm and
sound while attending music & dance classes and performing in a rhythm group to tracks
from the 80’s. As a teen, she was very proud when she received her first Jamaha Synth.
At that time her parents had a 24/7 restaurant-bar business build into their house
so she grew up with listening to MTV, channel always tuned in. When about 16 years
old, she discovered electronic music and was mainly listening to a local electronic
music radio. Just then, her biggest wish was to participate in the rave revolution,
so begun to follow the scene and at the end of 1999 she went to live in Zagreb, stumbling
upon love for House and Techno raves. At the end of 2000 she started to collect vinyls
and often organized private after parties. After Zagreb, Viktoria went to live and
work in Vienna where her love for collecting and mixing electronic music grew. At
the beginning of 2003, this young lady was already on track to develop her great
musical talent, playing double sets on several events and festivals with dj Sunny
Sava the resident of the famous Camera Club. Her presence and style was felt at one
of the biggest indoor festivals The Braintribe, a 3-day event hosting 31 international
Dj guests of trance-techno-house& groove music. Among other reference appearances
for Viktoria was La Gorda, a 9-day outdoor festival full of creative Workshops concentrated
around art & music. Journey of life took Viktoria to Slovenia in 2005. Shortly after
her coming back, she joined a group of talented DJs working under the name of Underground
Connections. At this time she started recording more music sessions and a mixed cd
got her an offer for the first solo appearance in Maribor. From that event on, it
all just kept on rolling with gigs. In 2006, Viktoria Rebeka started working with
Manel, the host of the popular Midhouse-show on Radio Pomar in Barcelona, Spain.
The special cooperation included broadcasting of her sets and charts every month.
In the early part of 2007, a project called "The Nasty project" took life, venture
together with DJ Slider. The Nasty project Nights are known as a famous meeting point
of clubbers in clubs across Slovenia, Croatia and Austria. Same year she became official
Dj for Bacardi Breezer promotion tour parties. The highlight of 2008 was her production
work together with friends BlazV and Slider. Some nice releases went to labels like
Papstec and Mare records. Year 2009 brings the Queens of Minimal Techno project,
a notable cooperation with Miss Sunshine, which resulted in touring across the Balkan
countries. Queens of Minimal Techno stands for quality minimal and minimal techno
music, as an underground music experience. Same year made happen the opportunity
to perform at the official Exit Festival after party. Through the years her method
of mixing was changing from playing vinyl with turntables to CD players, as finally
in 2009 she found great passion in looping and effecting through software programs
with midi controllers. Of course the music genre changed a lot as well and currently
Viktoria is in love with dark space minimal & minimal techno sounds. Inspired by
many great underground producers and dj's around the globe and the wish to truly
express herself as an artist, has driven Viktoria’s focus and work on production.
At weekdays she spends time in the studio together with producer friends. Her style
reflects a cocktail of charming deep dark minimal and minimal techno beats, and the
future production holds in store, experimental dark deep space minimal sound. Viktoria
Rebeka has worked with some great names such as: Valentino Kanzyani, Marko Nastic,
Roland Casper, Eric Fisher, Evil Eddy Richards, Miss Jools, Niko Schwind, Jack de
Marseille and untill now she had the pleasure to visit 17 countries and performed
numerous sessions in: Slovenia, Serbia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg,
Italy, Spain, Hungary, Croatia, Kosovo, Bosnia & Hercegovina, Macedonia, Greece,
Tunisa, Mauritius and France. One of the reasons why she loves music, is because
it makes her fade away into another dimension. When she plays it is all like a commotion,
a life journey where melody makes the world a better place to live in.

DJ HO
I've been a DJ for over 16 years, and although I started in a different genre of
music, and catered for a different crowd, my heart, mind and soul belongs in house
& trance music.. For over a year, I was one of the resident Dj's at the UCLA "Basement"
and from there, I've been growing slowly but surely. My biggest success has come
in the last few years, in which I've been interviewed by Brittaney Starr on her radio
show "Brittaney Starr Galaxy" on Xradio.biz. Not only was I interviewed, but they
also played my trance set live on the air. This was followed by Plurlife radio, Nirvanic
trance radio (KUCI), and most recently I've been aired on the internet radio station
Dj Mj-12 from Boston. As of today, I have played for clubs in Hollywood, Las Vegas,
and the OC, as well as many other private events, where the cheer of the crowd motivates
me to keep on spinning. As a DJ, I'm ready for the next step, which is producing
my own tracks, which I hope I could start sometime this years to produce some of
my own stuff. Hopefully I will be debuting some of my tracks here on facebook, as
well as my other pages on myspace, and plurlife. Stay tuned, as I'm always in the
studio working on a newset, and don't forget,you can find me on Itunes under my name
(Rene Hoyo) and I'm always open for bookings.
The Professor (Bradley John)
Bradley John (The Professor) has been involved in the electronic music scene for
almost 13 years. Being versatile in all styles and platforms, The Professor can be
booked for any time frame and fill the void for any type of electronic music festival.
He got his start in Florida in the summer of 1998 when he earned his degree in the
recording arts, so you know his mixing skills are phenomenal. By knowing his music
inside and out Bradley John can create an atmosphere that makes you want to dance
until the club closes down or the sun is high in the sky. He has a special connection
with his audience and feeds off their energy creating mind-blowing, unforgettable
sets. You can always catch him scanning the crowd to see what kind of emotional mayhem
he is cooking up in the Professor's laboratory. His passion right now is psychedelic
trance, but he enjoys playing progressive, downtempo, and breakbeats. Being a cofounder
of the Trancepsyndicate, collaborating with Overmindworks in Arizona, and organizing
events with the Chilluminati collective out of Chicago, he has gained much respect
in the EDM and psytrance community. Right now he is in the process of hosting more
spiritual, artistic family style gatherings under Metaentrance with his partner in
crime and love SunRa. Expect to be drawn straight to the dancefloor when the Professor
teaches class! Psyentific technology for your neurotransmitters!
Chris Drifter has been a key figure in the progressive underground for quite some
time now, from his initial EPs on the ledgendary Plastic Fantastic imprint to his
running of the excellent Soundtribe label. Chris' productions continue to impress
with his recent Drifting Diamonds EP on Movement Recordings leading the way. His
'Everyday Miracles" single on Mistique Digital is his next offering and it comes
with remixes from Nicholas Van Orton and Kazancev. Chris' original mix is a very
funky tribally jam, the drums here are absolutely wicked and bring a big party vibe
to the record. Lots of energy inducing stabs are brought into the mix as well for
a full on club track that should have most dancefloors complete attention. The first
remix is supplied by Argentina's Nicholas Van Orton and he has really put a unique
techno inspired touch on Chris' already great original. Closing out the package is
a nice melodic groover from Kazancev which makes for a great all round package! Another
great diverse release from Mistique Digital! Exclusive at beatport..
