*** Maxine Garman***
Maxine’s Garman is becoming a well known rising talent and one to watch. Brighton born, she moved to London a few years ago with a vision of breaking into the House music scene and she has done just that. Since moving to the capital, she gained a residency with leading House and Techno music event ‘TAKE’, recently supporting the likes of Seth Troxler, Huxley and Amine Edge & Dance.
Her entry into production kicked off with a positive start to 2016 with the release of her debut single ‘Let’s Get Close’, a remix of the classic track by Rosie Gaines, which had early support on Rinse FM and a regular placement on Saturday night’s KISS FM show.
Now working full time in the studio garnering a catalogue of material set for further release throughout the rest of the year and finishing the touches to her debut EP its an exciting time in Maxine’s career. Her profile is becoming more in demand and is seeing her regularly feature on various line ups and having bookings also come in from the white isle, as she plays Savannah for the first time this summer. Maxine Garman is definitely one to listen out for.

***DEMI***
Demi’s devotion to how he sculpts all his DJ sets has placed him on merit for the past 15 years as a music conductor to a host of some of the world’s most prestigious venues; weaving through the sonic spectrum with his record collection and personal edits to a public enamoured and engaged by an instinctive and uncompromising form of programming.
Inspired by the music dexterity and skill from music greats such as Laurent Garnier and Danny Tenaglia, to the mixing artistry of pioneers like Sasha and John Digweed and even in the often regimented world of house and techno, DJ’ing for Demi is an ongoing quest for originality.
With a deep love and connection to soul and disco music through record collections passed down from family relatives that progressed to a vinyl addiction of the more experimental and electronic soundscape centred around the kick drum, his sonic voice can be heard across all manners of music venues, in a climate that is embracing more then ever a DJ who can deliver a body of music that can connect with the spirit. It’s why you will find Demi as comfortable holding court in techno institutes such as Womb in Tokyo, Output in NYC, Space in Ibiza to the more eclectic spaces such as Seth Troxler’s Smokey Tails in London where he continues to push an eclectic vinyl selection of music for the senses. It’s why he was invited for example to present a Source and Cycle Mix for Luciano’s prestigious Cadenza podcast in 2016, demonstrating fully his musical blueprint that spans the past, present and the future. A blueprint where the ego and a strong sense of humility is in sync to select the next song that feels right to connect with the spirit and emotionally touch the dance floor; moulding discerning Antenna Records on Pinkman to the epic disco-funk riffs of Cerrone.
Whether playing to 5 people or 5000 people, Demi’s approach to the art of the DJ has always followed a pure school of thought, “Both technique and selection go hand in hand and should both be excelled at. Music is a language and perhaps the only thing in this world that is universal and transcending. So there should be no excuse to have any barriers up. I want to give people what they want, not necessarily what they expect and if you can tread that line well enough with your audience then the magic can truly happen.”
It’s a tricky balancing act which stems from the fact that he doesn’t strictly see himself as a techno or house DJ even though some his more notable achievements has come from these circles such as a becoming a national finalist in a competition run by Mixmag and super brand Cream to find their new resident in his formative days in 2002 where he went against the grain playing a selection of house and techno music compared to the hard house and trance sounds of the other finalist DJs. Other levels of recognition in these circles include scoring a nomination as best newcomer DJ at the annual Pacha DJ Awards in 2006 to invitations by Danny Tenaglia to play alongside him during his iconic NYC residency days, performing with his other mentor Laurent Garnier at Pacha Ibiza and culminating with the milestone achievement of a 3 Hour Radio One Essential Mix with the SoS Collective, made up of fellow sonic mavericks, Omid 16B & Desyn Masiello. The sonic trium-vate went on to score world tours with sell-out shows from Tokyo, to Ibiza, London and infamous shows at the Miami WMC and along with two critically acclaimed SOS compilations: “Balance 013” (2008) & “Ministry of Sound presents SOS” (2010); two timeless pieces demonstrating musical synergy at its force, and forever etching its mark on dance music’s legacy.
His debut solo mix compilation in 2011 “Sounds like Alola Volume 2” is an astounding sonic collage of the seminal deep house label’s rich back catalogue. Piecing the past, present and future together, from classic tech-house, to techno, to reggae and the warm melodies of producer genius Vince Watson, this body of work provides a sensational journey for the listener and is a true testament to the natural approach to his beliefs of the DJ art form.
Demi continues to tour all over the world, both as a DJ and with his recent role as European tour manager to US based pioneering DJ and legendary producer Danny Tenaglia.
Not seduced by what is current but by what possibilities could be, we continue to see a forward thinking music junkie who continues to deliver memorable moments for the dancefloor while endearing to all who come across his effervescent personality. Demi’s musical odyssey continues to deliver what you want, not what you expect.

*** CR0E & GREY ***
CR0E & GREY are a techno and house producer/DJ combo from London. They come from distinct musical backgrounds with tastes ranging from old school anthems from Ibiza heydays to bass music with roots in their hometown Croydon. This combined into a joint passion for moody and melodic vibes found in different techno and house sub-genres.
Under separate aliases, the two have scored releases and hosted radio shows. As CR0E, Metin Parlak has been released on Carypla Records with his EP ‘101’ featuring the single ‘Fives & Twos’, which successfully topped the label’s bestselling chart on Beatport for a year. Following ‘101’ was the single ‘Critical Function’ which, compared to the pounding mainroom techno of ‘101’, marked a more melodic turn complete with raw techno rhythms that set the scene for future productions. Under his Grey Raven alias, full-time wax collector Pawel Serafin hosted a vinyl-only radio show on London’s Scream Radio where, along with guest MCs, he shared the very best of old school dubstep, grime and roots reggae, bringing a love for diverse bass-driven sounds under a neat two-hour umbrella week in, week out.
The pair kicked off 2017 with a tour around South East Asia, with 20 gigs across Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Ticking off iconic venues such as Koh Phangan’s Mellow Mountain and Haad’rin Beach, home of the Full Moon Party, as well as playing a six-hour set at Cambodia’s Train Time Festival in Kampot.
