dj shoudelistix (soundcloud, facebook, mixcloud; st. gallen/switzerland) went through drum'n'bass, hiphop and digital mixing until he (re-)discovered his passion for abstract, instrumental hiphop and vinyl. of course, we always gladly promote vinyl - but in fact never had particularly this sound in our show. therefore we are as happy as greedy to welcome dj shoudelistix. he comes with a heavy heavy bag full of acoustic pearls, profound scratching skills and naturally a well formed sense for correct basses. whatever kind of story he will tell us, we're ready!

manuell maschinell (blog, soundcloud; zh) is an unusually busy dj and electronic music lover, playing mostly in clubs in zürich and berlin. after delivering 65 “monday-mixes” with chillout, electronica and techno from 2009 to 2010, he’s now co-hosting the show “active beats” on radio stadtfilter (on air & internet). as a convinced traktor-dj, manuel explores what is possible by means of modern technology. he appreciates the possibilities of realtime sampling, looping, tinkering, layering and filtering - thereby creating his own plot lines or even his own music. like with all our guests, we’re giving him completely free hands musical-wise and are curious where his own music (or technology?) will take him!

nik! (hula honeys; zh – soundcloud, discogs) has found his very own style in electronic music. as dj and producer he loves to deal with heavy basslines by oscillating between tradition and innovation, crossing the vast fields of bass music, d’n’b, hiphop and reggae, back and forth. together with his mates soult and random bit generator he runs the label "hula honeys". their releases never serve actual trends but provide tracks that you have to discover and love by yourself. you meet nik! on all kind of national and international stages. what he actually favours are the secret places where people trustfully open their ears to the over and over astonishing blends that he performs. the same we do in comfortnoise podcast 028-0412.
