Ragdoll

[BluFin - Germany]

Grinding, Melodic, Dark and Driving.
Ragdoll fuse spaced-out Berlin grooves with dynamic Minimal, delivering no-limit Techno with soul. With their very first release breaking the Top 100 on Beatport, Ragdoll have gone from strength to strength, remixing for Techno/House heavyweights Sandy Vee, John Acquaviva, and Andrea Doria. Signed to the trendsetting German label BluFin, Ragdoll’s success has snowballed this past year, as their club stormer “Soundwave” sold over 1000 vinyl copies in its first week.

When not pumping out tracks for the club, Ragdoll drink Bailey’s and get up to no good. With an absolutely explosive presence behind the decks, this madcap duo bludgeons the senses with their dirty, modern sound.

Lazy Rich

[Hollywood / StereoSoul / Jackmoves / Plasmapool]

Rich is well known for blowing up dancefloors worldwide with a steady stream of releases featuring gut-wrenching basslines and huge hooks, but takes time out this week to celebrate the popping of his "techno cherry" with his recent signing to Swedish techno label Jackmoves (complemented by a Ragdoll remix of course). Look forward to a perfectly balanced mixture of electro influenced techno and techno influenced electro.

Derrick Vnuk

Symbiant / Third Floor]

Having been active in the electronic music scene since the early 90's and behind the decks since 99, his roots run deep and influences are many. Derrick frames a wide scerene soundscape, zig-zagging his way through minimalistic electro grooves and spiky melodic techno, that crackle across rhythmic landscapes. Always on the cutting edge his sound constantly evolving, adapting to the ever changing global dance scene.

This week we've got Electro House specialist DJ James E in the house bringing his unique brand of ripping Electro and Techno. His closing sets at Hollywood Fridays are intense and are quickly gaining notoriety among those who like it hard and dirty. He is joined by systemsound specialist DJ Nima Saeedi who's always got something fresh on the menu. These two Hollywood residents will be joined by up and comer TJ Hooker, who is looking to showcase his deep tech house styles in his Hollywood debut.
