At the forefront of Canada's growing dance scene is Luke Fair. He's performed at some of the most prestigious venues and events in the world, offering club goers a taste of his funky - techy eclectic house sound each and every weekend. His sets include everything from groovy house and techno to funky progressive and electro. Constantly re-editing tracks to customize his sets, Luke's ongoing desire to make every set stand out from the others is very evident.

Luke has pushed his sound the world over, headlining at world renowned clubs like Pacha (Buenos Aires), Bedrock (London), Red Light (Paris), Space (Miami), 'Zouk' club (Singapore) and The Womb (Tokyo). He headlined the 8000 person 'Moonpark' party in Argentina this past June and Luke's recent Eastern European tour with John Digweed ended at Godskitchen's massive Global Gathering festival.

Luke's skills have won the praise of some of the industry's biggest players. He was chosen by Danny Howells and Deep Dish as their 'future hero' in DJ Mag's Top 100 issue and, most recently, Luke was selected by none other than Sasha to open up for him in every US city on the Involver CD release tour.

Over the past few years, Luke has garnered attention for his extremely diverse and genre-crossing studio efforts. From dubbed-out house to melodic progressive, his tracks have been played by djs from all across the dance music spectrum. Everyone from Sasha to David Morales to The Plump DJs have all included Luke's production in their sets. As well, Pete Tong has featured numerous Luke Fair productions on his world famous BBC Radio 1 'Essential Selection' show

Twenty two year old Tom Morgan has been immersed in music ever since he can remember. From an early age he was influenced by a broad spectrum of music, which would help to form the forward-thinking, diverse sound he employs now. After buying his first set of decks as the age of fourteen, he surrounded himself completely with dance music, taking the inevitable step from clubbing to DJing and onwards. Being a part of the scene from such an early age allows him to DJ from a clubber's perspective, forming sets dedicated to his particular audience and granting him the knowledge of exactly what a crowd is looking for.

His influences traverse the length of house music, from Danny Howells and Ralph Lawson to Francois Kevorkian and Danny Tenaglia. Playing a funk fuelled mix of disco, deep, tech and progressive house, he is as happy warming up as banging it out towards the end of the night. He constantly strives to give his sets a personal touch; editing tracks so they sound exactly as he wants them to and using acappellas to make his music stand out. Tom's talent has not gone unnoticed, earning praise from some of the industry's biggest names. Desyn Masiello tipped him as 'a DJ who'll break through in 2006' in a DJ Mag poll.

His ear for a tune was recognised further as Desyn employed him in an A&R capacity for his prestigious Alternative Route label. The job entails using his network of contacts to unearth the best house music around, giving him access to a huge number of tracks and ensuring that practically his every waking minute is spent listening to music.

Following on from this, 2006 saw Tom play all over the globe; in a host of South American countries (Mexico, Argentina and Brazil) as well as all over Europe (Bulgaria, Norway, Italy, Scotland and England), both headlining and sharing the booth with DJs like Nick Warren, Jimmy Van M, Omid 16B, Jody Wisternoff, Spirit Catcher, Ricky Ryan, Hernan Cerbello, balErik, Nick DK and Gabriel Sordo. As well as this, he spent some time in the studio, collaborating on tracks with Somnus Corp and Phunktastike.

Recently the largest daily newspaper in Sweden, Dagens Nyheter, invented the phrase "Dana House". The expression applies to the seamless blend of the different styles Dana plays. During his dj-sets, musical elements range from Rimini flavoured italo, funk and glimmering 80s to jerky electro, polished techno and ultrafresh disco. Everything closely connected with house - the genre where his musical roots belongs to.

Dana Bergquist is undoubtedly one of Swedens most diligent and reliable dj's. Playing alongside people like Steve Lawler, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Roger Sanchez, DJ Hell and Tiga he can be seen every weekend dj'ing bat one of Stockholms best clubs. The past three years Dana also has been holding a residency at the now defunked world famous and renowned Grodan Cocktail Club and this fall will see the launch of his own montly night, Oh!, at the Stockholm venue Teatron. There he will fly in his own favourite dj's from around the globe.

Gabriel's passion for creating music really blossomed after meeting Jorge and Beto, who are his partners in Somnus Corp.

Other notable successes include two tracks which have been picked up by Nick Warren for his upcoming Global Underground compilation.

He plays on a frequent basis all across his native Mexico and has also been booked to play in a host of South American countries; El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica and Argentina for instance, with recent gigs taking him as far afield as China. Gabriel's style is based in House music, blending funk, disco, deep, progressive and tech to get a unique sound that sets him apart from the crowd.

He is also part of Somnus alongside partners and friends Jorge and Beto. As a trio, they have defined the house sound of Mexico and their music has received the support of Demi, Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair, Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Rowan Blades and Omid 16B among others.

balErik began djing late 2001, realising the music he liked listening to online was not being played out, that maybe there was a gap he could plug. Things were pretty healthy back then but since, the scene has deflated, like an old birthday balloon. "It's all about the love for it", sais Erik, "its not about the money, for sure. It's hard work. Sometimes you wonder if it's really worth it." Everyone has that moment in this business, hits that nadir and then – just at the lowest ebb – you'll hear that certain record… and all of a sudden: it's worth it all over again. balErik is one of the rebels on the Scandinavian outskirts of the European continent; fighting the fight against evil and chaos. Again it has opened doors for him – gigs in Poland, Russia, San Francisco, Miami, London, Bulgaria, Croatia and A&R work for Rowan Blades' best pal Desyn Masiello. And the pay-off is the respect in which he is held by these DJs, for the efforts he's putting in, against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Stadenco started his DJ career informally at the age of 2, carrying his little red record player around to play music for anyone who would listen. From there, he explored the worlds of piano, guitar and bass, taking lessons and generally being a nuisance to his instructors. He continued his music education at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, with a focus on music production and engineering. Stadenco got bitten by the house bug when he was dragged to the now-defunct club Vinyl in NYC in early 2001. Already DJing non-edm music, he gradually transitioned to playing the quirky, dirty house and techno that he is known for today. Stadenco has shared the decks with the likes of Steve Bug, Hot Natured, Craig Richards, Loco Dice, Gui Boratto, Ida Engberg, Matthias Tanzmann, Tom Middleton, Stacey Pullen, Damian Lazarus, John Tejada, and Kevin Saunderson. He plays consistently at many of New York�fs top parties and venues, and will be seen soon in a town near you.
