MOGUAI
If you think of Germany's Rhine-Ruhr area you might perhaps think of closed coal-mines, football and beer in the first place, but these regions have far more to offer. Especially the electronic music scene between Düsseldorf and Dortmund is very vibrant and Moguai is definitely one of its most important representatives. Living in quiet Recklinghausen, the ardent local patriot visits the whole world from there and has still never contemplated about turning his back on his hometown. This is only one of the reasons which make the man who was born André Tegeler so likable. In the first place it has been and still is his musical success which has made Moguai one of the most popular DJs and producers of our time. The DJ Much has happened since the early 90s when Moguai organised parties in a youth club close to his hometown together with some friends and performed his first gig. Electronic music has long since grown up and Moguai with it. Now he has his very own style and entertains with his sets ranging across TechHouse, Breaks and Techno-Electro in the smallest clubs as well as at the biggest open-air events. Unsurprisingly, the readers of Raveline magazine voted him breakthrough artist of the year in 2002 and he was celebrated from Sydney to Byron Bay on his 2004 tour of Australia and New Zealand. He was even voted best international act 2005 in New Zealand and best DJ by Prinz Ruhrgebiet magazine in the same year. But also at German events like Nature One, Mayday or the Loveparade (R.I.P.) Moguai has always been and still is an important act. However, he is not only a DJ for the big events. He also mans the decks in clubs around the country and abroad. As far afield as England and South Africa Moguai creates an energetic party mood and fills the dance floors. The Producer To only see Moguai as a DJ would be a big mistake. In 1998 he had a top ten hit with The Final, which he produced together with colleague Phil Fuldner. Other products, like for example his debut-EP Best Before End, released in 1993, or the later Dial M for Moguai paved him the way to the top of Germany's best producers. Moguai also owns the record label PUNX which was launched in 2001. The first release, his own track The Rock, turned the scene upside down. The follow-up U know Y became the most popular track on the Mayday festival and the top selling sold vinyl in Germany. Since this track was used for the Sugababes-single In the middle, it has made an international breakthrough. Moguai and his colleague Phil Fuldner mixed the song in co-operation with Sugababes' producer Brian Higgins. For this work Moguai was awarded double platinum in Great Britain in 2005. In the same year the single Sasha (Sex Secret) which Moguai wrote with Inga Humpe and Tommi Eckart (aka 2raumwohnung) received gold in Germany. The label PUNKX produced successful releases as for example Old'n'New and Freaks. In 2003 Superstar Recordings discovered Moguai and signed him directly. Besides producing his own material Moguai is an internationally acclaimed remixer and has been able to bring his style to tracks by well-known acts such as X-Press2 feat. David Byrne (Talking Heads), Fischerspooner, Timo Maas and 2raumwohnung. Moguai's 2005 remix of the club hit Geht's noch by Roman Flügel (Alter Ego) was released worldewide together with the original. The Radiopresenter Moguai's first contact with radio was in 2001 when Germany's biggest station EinsLive offered him a four-hour programme. Since then Moguai presented his monthly show with various guests such as Todd Terry and LTJ Bukern as part of the EinsLive Partyservice. After the Partyservice was cancelled in 2004, EinsLive signed another contract with Moguai in May 2005. Together with the station Moguai put together a DJ-team consisting of WestBam, Paul van Dyk, Mousse T., Chris Liebing and Moguai himself, who now take turns presenting a programme on Saturday night between midnight and two.
CAZZETTE
From the house that brought you Avicii, comes Cazzette. The Swedish DJ duo is currently tearing up clubs worldwide with “Beam Me Up (Kill Mode),” a club banger with a hard-charging kick drum, an epic vocal track and dub bass drops designed to get the party going. They have been on the rise since making a huge splash in 2011 with their official remix of Avicii’s “Sweet Dreams,”which they then followed up with an official remix of Swedish House Mafia’s “Save the World”. EDM luminaries like David Guetta, Tiësto, Thomas Gold and Martin Solveig have lined up to give their support to the talented dub house duo who are readying their first album release for November 2012.
Cazzette is the newest project from manager/visionary Ash Pournouri, who brought Avicii to the top of the music world. Cazette, 23-year-old Alexander Björklund and 19-year old Sebastian Furrer, incorporate a variety of sounds into their dub house tracks, including aspects of trance,hip-hop and funk. “We do whatever we want but we must have that house and dub step sound in it,” says Sebastian. Cazzette have had a huge 2012, playing world class venues like Ushuaia in Ibiza, Radio City Music Hall, Lavo, Mansion in Miami, XS and Surrender in Las Vegas, Zouk in Singapore, and the main stage at festivals like Ultra, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, and Beyond Wonderland. They will bring their seamless melding of house music and dub step elements to an even bigger American audience during their first U.S. tour kicking off later this year.
Alexander and Sebastian both grew up on Sweden’s west coast, an hour away from another, near the city of Gothenburg. “People think we are brothers,” jokes Alex, “We are bros, not brothers!”
They didn’t meet until they were teenagers, but they share similar stories. They both were introduced to electronic music by their fathers. Alex’s father would blast European techno while speeding around Sweden with Alex in the passenger seat of his car, and Sebastian’s father was a prolific DJ in Rome, Italy. “He was always telling me: ‘listen to this, listen to this, while he played trance music,” says Sebastian.
