  Oliver Huntemann

  Myths abound in the north when it comes to techno ground zero, and they refuse to go away. Oliver

  Huntemann is one of a handful of children of the north who, for what seems like an eternity, add an element

  of credence to the mythology. He does not, of course, live in a snowy forest or at the edge of the polar

  oceans. The sun does, on occasion, shine down on Hamburg. Nevertheless, there is a tendency towards

  hypothermic reduction in the rigorous efficiency of the Huntemann oeuvre. Images of cold storage

  warehouses, desolate heavy plant sites and bluish flesh are not entirely misplaced. Shards of German

  Engineering glimmer in his music, laced with persuasive logic, gruesome Darwinism. What remains: what

  works.

  In “Brighter than the sun“, the English music theorist Kodwo Eshun depicts the birthplace of Kraftwerk,

  Dusseldorf, as the “Mississippi Delta of Techno“. Huntemann’s tracks may well have dragged themselves

  out of the same primeval soup, but it was the far north which fired them with the necessary steel for

  clubland. The resulting creations are linear, free of fancy, charmingly direct. One particular London arbiter of

  taste sought to label the nature of his skeletal sound as “bare and striped back to the metallic core“ –

  whereby Huntemann’s reduction does not end in thin minimalism, it draws attention to the core itself. Less

  is more to the max. The only luxury is a little dirt.

  Whilst hordes of German producers and DJs set their satnavs for Berlin, Oliver Huntemann chose to head

  back home! His epicenter is, and will remain, the north. Hamburg, to be exact. This is where he produces

  his music and it is from here that he sets out into the world, thrilling the populous with his DJ sets.

  Oliver Huntemann’s concrete roots can be traced back to early techno. Had he been any younger, he would

  undoubtedly have sucked electronica like mother’s milk from a C64 chip. Like so many of his colleagues,

  his route to techno took a tour through electro and rave. He could tell the usual veteran tales when it comes

  to influences, his first record purchases, or on the subject of the good old days. Been there, done that! It

  was more difficult maintaining a low profile.

  Huntemann the producer and collaborator has racked up remixes for the likes of Chemical Brothers,

  Depeche Mode, Underworld (the list goes on) and his work with Dubfire now spans a good eight years

  (Elements, Dios, Diablo, Humano).

  Since 2016, his residency at Watergate has been illuminating Berlin's nightlife quite brilliantly, whilst he

  continues to play clubs and festivals all over the planet: from Warung in Brazil and the Rex Club in

  Paris to BPM Festival in Mexico, Strawberry Fields and Let Em Eat Cake in Australia or Woogie Weekend in

  California.

  2017 sees the arrival of Oliver Huntemann's 5th album “Propaganda”,

  trailered by two EPs entitled Rotlicht and Poltergeist. All three releases ripple with taut techno tunes as only

  he can deliver. Six long years have passed since the 4th Huntemann album “Paranoia”, but do not be fooled

  into thinking he was taking a break - on the contrary, he has been busier than ever. Countless releases &

  remixes followed, putting Huntemann constantly on the chart rotations.

  That’s how it is in the north, actions count, not appearances!

  Francesca

  Francesca Francesca "Cesca" Strano is an “old soul” vocalist, pianist, and songwriter with deep roots in hip hop, gospel, classical, R&B, and jazz. She takes those influences and molds them into a new sound, one she hopes will be heard around the world. Francesca is inspired by greats like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner and Patti LaBelle and aims to achieve the same level of musicality and acclaim as her idols. She is based in Bergen, Norway, where she began singing as a child and developed her attention-commanding vocal style. Francesca typically records independently in Norway but has also recorded and performed in the USA, most notably working with Grammy-nominated engineer and producer Christopher B. Steinmetz (Usher, Madonna, Kiss) on her song “So Beautiful” at CRC in Chicago, Illinois. She has also performed live in Chicago and Atlanta, Georgia. She was part of Idol in 2003 and The Voice Norway in 2013. Her style of funk-inflected pop has won over many music fans and is building more momentum daily. She has played and sang since her days as a child prodigy who played several instruments and studied both voice and dance. She has developed into a mature recording artist since then, one with a highly-commercial style and bankable instincts. She is currently in Norway preparing her next release
