Acid Maria

ACID MARIA began to play records on December 6th in 1992. This night at a tiny location in Munich on German Santa Claus appears to her as Jour fixe. For her this evening became a decade-changing experience. "When for the first time after a break people to throw their arms into the air to welcome the Bassdrum, to me it had happened. I knew: this is what I want to do". At that early time the music was an urban mixture from what the electronic scene offered: Detroit and Cologne, Chicago and Helsinki, Minneapolis and Munich, New York and Berlin. Acid Maria is spinning all that into a swirl and creating something new out of it.

Very soon gigs take her out of Munich, sending her to more than 20 countries all over the world. "There were times when people asked whether everything would start turning into a constant repetition. But I always feel a change. To deal with different expectations and conditions each time is such a challenge."

Her style in music today ranges from minimal-rhythms to significant quotations and forms which cannot be put into precise definition. Always led by her enthusiasm for great tunes which she wants to be shared. At some point Acid Maria was longing for musical cooperation and started to release records with friends like Steve Bug, Gebrüder Teichmann, Markus Güntner (Ware), Abe Duque, Steril and with DJ-friend Electric Indigo with different outputs like remixes, tracks, records, mix-CDs.

Bill_Youngman_web BILL YOUNGMAN


BILL YOUNGMAN is hell of a producer. Although mostly known for his techno releases on labels like Scandinavia, Tresor, Null etc., Bill has from day one been producing a lot of excellent other stuff. For example, he released one album of the finest electronica on DEPTH CHARGE’s DC Recordings under the alias AUDIBLE, several great EPs of electro on Serotonin and recently remixed JAMIE LIDELL in a rather techy dubstep style for Warp. Bill doesn’t follow trends and dislikes being categorized into one stale genre and so perfectly fits into the KILLEKILL master plan.

Expect several EPs from him on KILLEKILL in the future that will further display the wide range of styles he is interested in and loves. With all this in mind, Bill will furthermore attempt to push the threshold of modern electronic music production.

DJ Flush

dj_flush DJ FLUSH is the main man behind KILLEKILL and has been a DJ for 15 years now. Pushing the borders of electronic music, his mixes cross over from chicago jack and booty tracks to electro, from distorted no future techno sounds to rather minimal funk - dirty, freaky and often with a big drop of acid. He played at more or less all relevant clubs in Berlin as well as internationally, as in Poland, France, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey, Mexico, Spain etc.

With his long experience and his diverse influences he brings together different sounds and styles and manages to hold the thin line between being there for his audience to make have a raving party - and educating as an innovator in the electronic music scene as a DJ and as a promoter.

FRANK BEAN ist ein extremer Musikliebhaber, dem nur sehr wenige Platten gefallen und dem sich die meisten DJs zu wenig anstrengen. Wenn er selbst auflegt, dann spielt er nur Platten, die er total einzigartig findet. Und das sind sie auch. Die mixt er dann schnell und engagiert und mit seinem feepigen, lustig schunkelnden Mix aus Elektro, Techno und Funk findet er daher immer mehr Freunde.

Hanno Hinkelbein

hanno A tough-looking guy with a fine sense for electronic music. Raffinesse meets power; Hanno is interested in everything; maybe not in collecting Smurf-figures or satinshirts, but he likes to get his inspiration from travelling the earth, photography, meeting people, politics, all kinds of arts and aesthetics, even of turkish wrestling... Soundwise he locates himself somewhere between wonky Techno, House, trashy and clean Electro, Breakbeats, Industrial/Metal, Death Metal, Dubstep, Rebetico, Gypsy Music and so on; which seems to be a place to be taken which can be qute interesting for the listeners.

He started Djing in 1996 after playing the guitar in an industrial band; taking the leap from there to the club shows his versatillity and his open mind for music – as long as it holds something special for him, he has an open ear for it. He doesn't want to bring the „newest shit" all the time – this would be narrowing he thinks; why always play the few really good new tracks when you can hark back on a huge amount of excellent releases of the past thirty years, which contain so many workpieces that people do and don't know? It's all about the selection of the Dj and about how you „bring" it to the audience; and Hanno tries to bring everything in electronic-related music together to a stirring whole, to that people in the club can be going crazy on – he likes to compare Djing with having a ever and ever again interesting sexual being-together of the Dj and the crowd; you got to be imaginative to be a good lover...

With his productions – even a gold record among them for his appearence on a release of „Zweiraumwohung" - he tries to keep it functionable; clubsounds live on the bassgroove beyond them, on the way the sounds and the groove is put together; his work is, even when quite hard stuff, is always precise and reflected.

When Djing as well as when producing, surprising somebody is more important to him than giving a promise for this or that; this makes Hanno an always fresh and interesting musicact that aerates the lineup in every venue he plays. Big heart, friendly lifestyle brought together with sense for partying hard and opening your mind in music!

LAKKER

LAKKER are Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith from Ireland. The duo have a long history working together, beginning in 2001, in a band called :undermine:. They formed LAKKER around the same time and began a long journey through harsh electronics, breakcore and noise.
Fast forward to 2011 and the LAKKER sound has been pushed further and further into the unknown, from hauntingly beautifuly melodies to elastic hip-hop breaks. Their latest release SPIDER SILK (due out on a stunning white vinyl, complete with Dara’s screen-prints) is to Berlin’s much-respected Killekill label.
It is a solid release, affirmed by early festival airplay from no less than Aphex Twin himself. This one’s gonna be big.

NEIL LANDSTRUMM is with no doubt one of the big heroes of techno. With several albums and uncountable singles released on renowned labels like Tresor, Peacefrog and Planet µ, he has definitely written techno history. And this does not even count in his own label Scandinavia, which released music of high prolific techno artists such as Cristian Vogel, Tobias Schmidt, Adam X and many more.

Although having produced his first records in the early nineties NEIL LANDSTRUMM is in no way an old school producer! He has produced a few top notch dubstep records in the last years (released on planet µ) and is just now being one of the producers pushing the boundaries of the post dubstep UK Bass sound and is also being featured on the NONPLUS label being run by no one else but BODDIKA.
For KILLEKILL NEIL has delivered a handful of tracks which combine his typical dirty techno sound with the aesthetics of Dubstep and UK Bass. Extremely funky and with a big drop of acid they fit perfectly to the sound of our label.

SNUFF CREW

SNUFF CREW´s mission is to bring back the fun on the dancefloors worldwide. The masked duo is known for their jacking live shows that combine the raw energy of early Chicago and Acid house with a fresh and modern sound. Rumour has it that they come from “somewhere in Germany”, but their sounds draw a very heavy influence from the original acid house city of Chicago alongside Italo-disco and old school techno flavours. The use of old school roland boxes as sound sources and almost non existent use of even basic effects means their sound is Rough, raw and aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Their records have been released on labels like Skylax, Gigolo Records, Rush Hour, Playhouse and many more, but the two guys also run their own imprint called Snuff Trax where they release music of jackmates like KiNK and Neville Watson as well as their own tracks and collaborations with artists such as legendary Robert Owens.

Stype

Considerate and reliable is how Dj Stype presents himself when playing his gigs. He is a friendly guy who knows what he wants and who has a huge knowledge of the electronic music scene especially in Berlin. At first sight a Dj is just one of many, but when getting in closer touch with him, he shows whether he is able to take you into his own musical universe or not; getting to know Dj Stype is interesting in this exact way: he manages to make himself a really interesting musician without having to blow his horn loudly - he doesn`t have to pose or boast, his sound speaks for itself, loud enough to keep you being interested in what comes next. A good way to enter his world is through his own blog: http://www.dissonanzstudien.de/blog/

Since he began to dj in 2001 he has shown his skills in the most interesting venues of Berlin and on occasional webstream-sessions, hosted by klangterroristen.de, where he had the chance to bring his definition of techno, techhouse, minimal, but also idm, breaks, even breakcore or drum n bass to the public. His reliability lies in the fact, that you can always trust in him playing a solid set wherever you put him, he has a versatile archive and knows how to bring the tracks to the crowd. Also his (only! – what speaks for him) release on Haushaltsware Sprache mirrors his character; why put out many releases? He would just put to public what really is worth it, have a listen to it and hear him at the club – you`ll never regret!
