Life And Death has been making insane amounts of waves since it’s recent inception, due mostly to the incredible, diverse musical tastes of it’s founder, DJ Tennis. One of the nicest and hardest working guys in the biz, Tennis (aka Manfredi Romano) has been pushing an organic, lush and musically rich deep house sound worldwide non-stop. We’re happy to present DJ Tennis to you on the next installment of The Secret Button.
The Secret Button welcomes our good friend Monty Luke, a San Francisco native now living in Detroit. When he’s not helping manage the legendary Planet E, Monty has been developing his fine new imprint, Black Catalogue. We are very pleased to share this man’s passion and talent with you.
The Secret Button turns one year old! And as a very special treat we are lucky enough to have the legendary Doc Martin as our guest. One of the innovators of West Coast house music and underground culture, and one of the States’ leading authorities of house music in general, Doc Martin has been there from the beginning and continues to set trends and perpetuate quality via his productions as well as his legendary Sublevel events. This is a great honor!
Los Angeles native Santiago Salazar is best known for his work with Detroit’s legendary Underground Resistance crew. With crew collaborative projects such as Los Hermanos, Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Ican under his belt, as well as brilliant original productions for labels such as Rush Hour, Seventh Sign and Macro, Santiago has firmly embedded himself into techno history. DJ S2 is a modern dance music legend and we’re well honored to have him on the show.
The Secret Button is very proud to host a true legend of the underground. From his early days producing for labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Aqua Boogie and Groove On, to his consistent output of deep, percussive and dubby cuts for fine imprints like Peacefrog, Ovum and NRK, David Alvarado has been a true gift to the underground. From his home in Los Angeles, this remarkable producer and DJ has been doing it non-stop, keeping his game true and his guiding light shining brightly. We’re truly blessed to have such a figure on our show.
While he’s no stranger to the decks, after ten plus years of selecting choice cuts Nolan Haener has found himself as one of the guiding lights of the new breed of San Francisco underground DJs. Originally hailing from Texas, Haener was introduced to his current musical partner Brian Bejarano by Dallas-bred hero Eric Estornel, better known as Maetrik and Maceo Plex. Their collaborative effort was dubbed Re:Body and has been making waves and throwing raves in the Bay that are significant and memorable on all levels. We’re very happy to host such a great DJ on The Secret Button.
Aquarius Heaven is taking the world by storm. The dancehall vocalist turned electronic music star has already seen releases on Circus Company and Wolf + Lamb, quickly turning heads and enlisting die-hard fans. We’re proud to present this unique, friendly, and charming fellow to the world, and quite excited to hear what he has in store for us.
The new year is upon us. Where did 2011 go? Well it was a year of transition for The Secret Button’s host Alland Byallo. Having moved to Berlin in August of 2010, the following year was spent learning about the city, exploring it’s incredible universe of night life and quietly developing his sound as a producer under all of these new influences. Catching up after singles and remixes for legendary labels such as Poker Flat, Moodmusic, Trenton, Room With A View and Adjunct Audio, Byallo has come to form a new imprint of his own, Bad Animal. Watch for it in 2012. But for now just enjoy this special two hour Silvester session by TSB’s four-eyed, jovial host.
From his early days as an astoundingly young hard techno powerhouse, releasing under various guises on labels such as Drumcode, Native Diffusion, and Nummer, to his current chart-topping tech house wizardry for Ovum, Dumb-Unit and his own We Are imprint, Patrik Skoog AKA Agaric has proven himself to be one of the most valuable treasures of electronic music that Sweden has offered to date. Currently based in Berlin, his steady solo releases and his collaborative efforts with previous TSB guest Walker Barnard are consistently blowing minds and finding their way into the record bags and charts of countless DJs. We’re proud to host this brilliant and humble soul during the next session of The Secret Button.
Since it’s inception last year, Bloody Mary’s Dame-Music has been gaining steam and building an identity that’s truly unique. Half jack-fueled tech-house bombs, half emotive and tastefully pop-laced techno soul, the imprint is coming into it’s own and truly reflecting the tastes of it’s founder. Bloody Mary has been pushing amazing productions and highly energetic monster DJ sets all over the world for years now, and we’re happy to try to harness this amazing woman’s energy and bring it to you on the next installment of The Secret Button. Joining her will be her label manager and all around super-nice-guy Sebastien, AKA Attan. This episode will be guest hosted by our good friend Nathalie Hosten.
