live: Feldermelder (Hula Honeys / Switzerland) Fallopian Disco Force DJ: Nik! (Hula Honeys / Switzerland) Hiroyuki Kojima Isao Takiguchi Ryu Konno Artist info: Feldermelder (Hula Honeys / Switzerland)  As a young teenager Manuel Oberholzer aka Feldermelder made his initial efforts on an Amiga 500. The discipline and focus that was needed to work on trackers still lives on in his creative beats and arrangements. Feldermelder’s influences range from the decomposed structure works of Steve Reich and Stockhausen to more classic Jazz, electronic and anlalog music from the now and before and tomorrow. The diversity of the music that inspires him, finds reflection in his own sonic adventures, forming his ever evolving sound, combining as map and compass to guide his artistic outbursts. His psychadelic live acts, played on a wide range of analog and controlled digital equipement, made him perform in all over the world. His endless research with others musicians made him become even more obscure, allowing him to play all different kinds of venues, clubs, festivals, squats, museums, forests, ... Other Projects like Toronaut, Gibraltar Vacuum, Black Cargoes, Deconstructing Drumboys andFM Grand Trio made him tick all different universes, and and explore new ways of musical expression. Coming to the attention of Spezialmaterial and other labels in early 2002, Feldermelder has stepped up as remixer, re-working Sinner DC, Oy, Mimetic, Scrubber Fox, Mochipet and many others.

(Hula Honeys / Switzerland)  Nik! has been causing disturbance in his city with rakish sets and events for years. As promoter, as co-founder of the label Hula Honeys or as DJ: his activities are always about the connections, about nuances and noises, about heavy basslines and hymns. He is known for sets that oscillate between styles and bring things together - opening windows to musical dawn, or doom. Since the beginning of his DJ-life in the late 1990s, Nik! has traversed a broad array of musical stlyes from Electronica and Dub over Leftfield HipHop, Dubstep, Techno, Rave and experimental music, driven by curiosity and his love for exploration and adventures. Today, all these influences might slip into a single set. 2012/13, Nik! and Soult shared the DJ-residency for the „Y nights“, a classical music series in a club setting. From 2007 ‒ 2010, he was half of the live Electronica act Shares, since 211 he’s been exploring the dubby and downbeat sides with his solo project Bear the Eagle. Nik! has shared the stages of clubs and festivals in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Japan, China, Italy, Hungary and Latvia with acts like Mouse on Mars, Laurel Halo, The Gaslamp Killer, Andy Stott, DMX Krew, NHK'Koyxen, Addison Groove, Donna Summer, Dimlite, Cylob, Ceephax, Wisp, Karl Marx Stadt or Otto von Schirach.
