In 1995 DJ Sneak's disco filtered sound revolutionised house music with inspirational sounds and rhythms never heard. These grooves became Sneak's signature sound and inspired others like Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx and Armand Van Helden.
 
Throughout his career Sneak has maintained his status as one of the Top 100 DJs in the world by staying true to his dynamic style - from furious banging Chicago tracks and Latin tribal beats, through disco filtered reworks of retro classics and melodic rhythms – with tracks selected to suit your soul and get you moving.
 
In 2009, the DJ Sneak vs. Herve release ‘Droppin Kisses’ reached Number 1 in Music Week UK’s official club chart and received BBC Radio 1 spins from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Judge Jules, and Kissy Sell Out.
 
Putting the final preparations to what promises to be the hottest night in November’s clubbing calendar, organiser Zaki Lais said:  “With DJ Sneak as our birthday guest it’s going to be another special Muak night and one not to be missed.  Another year older, yes.  Wiser? Maybe.  See you on the dance floor.”

Very special guest Ryan Crosson (m-nus/wagon repair) joins the supernova party this Sunday 11th October...

Ryan Crosson crafts techno and house tied to the historical precedent set in his native city of Detroit by classic artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Richie Hawtin, and Moodyman. Still, Crosson owes just as much to the constant exchange beween Detroit and Germany, equally taking his cues from artists like Pantytec, Ricardo Villalobos, and Thomas Brinkmann, to shape his own musical output.  

Situated loosely between these two organizing poles, as are many of his American peers currently living in Berlin, Crosson stands out from most of his fellow producers in two key respects:  delivering a fetishistic attention to programming and sound design, and embodying a ceaseless energy that carries itself from the studio directly into his live set and DJ performances.  

Ryan Crosson consistently chooses to steer away from the predictable circuit of so-called “underground” club hits, instead favoring a process of constant renewal and return both to early influential material and to emerging sounds that depart from hegemonic trends.  Likewise, Crosson’s production and sampling practices consistently depart from the world of electronic music by accessing histories of sound linked to militant black jazz, proto-disco, fusion, and west african indigenous music.     

After releasing acclaimed material on diverse and groundbreaking labels like m-nus, Telegraph, Trapez, and Wagon Repair, Crosson has fully given himself over to a life of touring and performance that keeps a steady focus on both the avant-garde aesthetics of and deeply emotional bonds to dance music subculture. Making the move to Berlin in 2007 has opened up residencies for Crosson at Alte Borse in Zurich, Arena Club in Berlin, and of course the notorious summer weekly party, Soulshower, at Club Der Visionaere

Very special guest Kabale Und Liebe will be heading to Sosho on Sunday 27th September as party of the Rhythmatic party at supernova. Recording on native Dutch labels Soweso, Remote Area & 100% Pure, he hit the lime light with his classic Mumbling Yeah?, a huge hit with the house and techno elite. He has remixes coming up for Tenax together with fellow country men 2000 and One and Lauhaus as well as recent collaborations with Julien Chaptal. Djing since the very young age of 12, this man has got the beatz. Event info can be found here.

Very special guest Roberto Rodriguez will be jetting in from Helsinki to headline the 4th tabula rasa terrace party on Sunday 20th September with an exclusive live show! Roberto encapsulates the house sound that has become synonymous with the party. He’s making waves amongst the underground house community with his sophisticated and deep beats. Recording on the likes of Plastic City, Compost, Freerange & Sonarkollektiv as well as producing under his other monikers as Future Beat Investigator, Track N Field, and Acid Kings, Roberto’s contemporary house sound has won him many plaudits. His live set is pure, deep electronic boogie; we can’t wait for him to serenade us with his deep tech funk on the terrace (Roberto will also be performing a dj set later in the evening at the afterparty, details to follow)! Check here for full party info.

We had a quick chat with him...

What are you working on at the moment?
I just finished a remix of a 90´s classic Marmion - Schoeneberg for superstition which will be released on Flying Circus. Some days ago i started working on a remix for Yoko Ono. Also doing some finishing touches for my next Compost release due out at the end of November. Another release that i´m finishing is a new mid tempo disco ep, but I can´t tell you the label just yet...

What is the scene in Helsinki like?
The scene in Helsinki is great but relatively small. Lots of great parties every weekend with great dj´s. In Helsinki there are three great clubs for house and techno and their lineup is always top notch.

Which new Finnish producers / djs are ones to look out for?
There is lots of good talent here. You have Juho Kahilainen, Samuli Kemppi, Jori Hulkkonen, Lil Tony, Jussi-Pekka Parikka for example. These guys have been doing this for a while but they are definitely something to mention.

What tracks are doing it for you at the moment?
These are some of my favorites at the moment:
Daniel Wang - Like Some Dream
Redshape - 2010
Wax - Wax20002
Lil Tony - Saturday Morning
Acid Pauli - Marvin
Andre Lodemann - Vehemence Of Sleep (Atjazz Perspective)

What has been your favourite party / event this year?
I´d say that the event I enjoyed the most this year so far was the whole Flow-festival here in Helsinki in mid August. Great atmosphere, good music & perfect crowd.

Justin Martin released the very first two records on dirtybird and then went on an amazing production path, releasing tracks, mix cds and remixes on multiple labels like Buzzin’fly, Utensil, Om.

Claude VonStroke has been begging him to return to the nest for years and now he is back! Justin has re-joined the family in full force, dedicating himself to multiple new EPs and the raucous fun style that makes dirtybird special. Most importantly he is back with his good friends where he belongs.

Speaking of friends, this time Justin teams up with Claude VonStroke to deliver 6 minutes of pure dirtybird. Justin brought the almost finished track into DB headquarters claiming he was stuck and couldn’t finish it. Claude put it up on the system and decided it was too hot to throw it away. So they worked on it together for a few days and here we are with a new dirtybird bomber.

The track is based around a twisted vocal playing on the old school “Beat That Bitch with a Bat” vocal. But this bit of ADD house goodness could have also been called “The Chicken Trilogy” because it has three distinctive parts that are all different and all happy surprises for the dance-floor.

“Beat That Bird” will also be one of the tracks on Claude’s new album “Bird Brain” out in October and he would like to thank Justin for not throwing the track in the trash bin!
