Matthias Tanzmann started his DJ and production career in the mid nineties in Leipzig, playing regularly at the renowned club ‘Distillery’. These early days saw his first release as 'Gamat 3000' (with Daniel Scholz) on Dessous Recordings, which was quickly followed by
releases on Freude Am Tanzen, Lo-Fi Stereo and FM Musik.
In 2000 he founded Moon Harbour Recordings, and since then scores of Moon Harbour releases have been playlisted by renowned DJ's all over the world. The label rapidly became synonymous with quality deep-house and tech-house, and has released many of Matthias
Tanzmann’s own records as well as those from the likes of Luna City Express, Marlow, Martinez and Dan Drastic. In 2006 he founded the label Cargo Edition, where you can find regular releases from Michael Melchner, Ekkohaus, Markus Schatz, Sven Tasnadi, Vera and
Juno6.
The success of both labels has seen the explosion of Matthias Tanzmann's DJ career, which now takes him almost continuously around the global club and festival scenes. Another factor in his success has been his residency at the famous party series Circoloco at DC10 in Ibiza since 2007. Playing regularly on both the Balearic Isle and at international Circoloco shows has resulted in 3 consecutive nominations at the Ibiza DJ Awards.
Between his numerous DJ gigs, Matthias Tanzmann also produces consistently groundbreaking music. In addition to a line of singles, his first solo album "Restless" was released on Moon Harbour in 2006, and beyond that his remixing skills are also in great demand -
remixing for artists such as Moby, 2000 and one, Josh Wink and Booka Shade to name just a few.

With a new wife and new album, the French DJ/producer is happier than ever.
Sébastien Devaud is in love. With music. With a lady. With everything. You can see it on his face. Listen to Impermanence, and you can hear it there too. He's a man who has been building things his entire life: A festival (Nuits Sonores), a record label (Infiné) and a DJing career, and now he's finally at a place where he is free with all of them. The event is among the most important on the French festival calendar. The label is one of the most wide-ranging in contemporary electronic music. The DJing, as he tells it, is as eclectic and as satisfying as it has ever been. We met the upbeat DJ/producer earlier this month as he prepares for a gig at this year's Snowbombing festival at Mayrhofen.
"[People are] pleased to be surprised, and because of that I think Infiné can release anything it wants."
You were doing a live set a couple years ago, right?
An Ableton Live kind of thing, yes. But I don't feel comfortable with live because what I would like to do would cost too much money. I would like to make a band, with musicians and singers. Maybe at a festival one day, they will invite me to make a proper live show.
Agoria has mixed the next edition of Fabric, due for release in April.
Sebastian Devaud has a particular flair with mix CDs. As past efforts like Cute & Cult, At The Controls and especially last year's Balance 016 made clear, he's not content to just string a bunch of good songs together. He prefers to stay involved, sometimes layering several tracks into the mix at once and making as many unlikely combinations as possible.
"Even if I'm playing a lot of techno in my DJ set I always manage to try to mix tracks that are not supposed to fit together," he says. "Here I was happy to create a remix live of Ella Fitzgerald mixed with four other tracks for example–or to arrange a new 'Speechless' vocal version with Sun Ra, a trio with Carl Craig and La Scalars."
Fabric 57 is divided into 20 tracks, though the mix itself is much more complex than that: the first track weaves together three songs at once, and a few others are used as recurring motifs throughout the mix, including STL's "Silent State" and Lil Tony's remix of "Treehouse." It arrives hot on the heels of Agoria's latest album, Impermanence, which came out last month through Infine, the label he co-founded in 2006.
