Teleportation Festival, one of the greatest festival of electronic music with long history, headlines Spanish DJ Luis Junior and Israeli-based Sahar Z. The first events of Teleportation Festival were held at the Crimea territory as raves with thousands people and with participation of progressive house and techno stars. Luis Junior has spent the last several years in constant motion, building a discography of genre-defying music that pushes forever forward, designing new stylistic frameworks and breaking new artistic ground with each successive production. Luis has grown into one of the most cutting edge and inspiring artists in electronic music. He gained an immense following over the course of 2010 for his unique and fresh production style that combined melodies, modern day techno sensibilities and an uncanny knack for creating unrelenting, infectious grooves. The Spanish born Madrid based producer shot into the electronic music spotlight with his productions for John Digweed's Bedrock label however early in his career Luis found himself making many appearances on Ibiza chill-out compilations for it was his incredibly textured and lush sounding down tempo productions such as "Momentos" and "Luminis" that got him noticed. It wasn't until his remix of Baboop's "Yes We Can" was championed by Sasha through much of 2009 that Luis' name starting buzzing throughout the electronic music underground. Following that Luis crafted "Colache" which caught the ear of John Digweed who immediately signed it for Luis' first Bedrock single. "Colache" and "BG" both for Bedrock and his remix of Cid Inc & Lank's "Coronal Mass" for microCastle were 3 of 2010s biggest crossover tracks, all which earned support from John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo. The first half of 2011 only saw Luis grow even larger with his remixes of Monaque's "ID" again for microCastle and Infusion's "Love and Imitation" for Kasey Taylor's Vapour Recordings. Both tracks earned huge worldwide support and massive chart success on Beatport. This string of revolutionary productions quickly shot Luis into the DJ spotlight as well as he is now not only one of the most in demand producers on the planet but DJs as well. 2011 saw Luis with gigs in the UK, Spain, Russia, USA, Netherlands, Greece, Romania, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Kosovo where the reactions to his fresh sound and unique programming were spectacular. With gig offers coming in from: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Panama, Ukraine, Lithuania, Hungary, China, Japan, Belgium, Germany, France, India, Singapore, Dubai and the Dominican Republic for 2012 it looks set to be another groundbreaking year for Luis as he continues to push his fresh electronic sound. The dawn of 2012 saw Luis launch his own digital imprint "mooseekaa". Luis' own "Alib" was the label's first release and it went down as one of the most hyped and sought after tracks of the year. It earned steady play with huge dance floor reactions from Hernan Cattaneo who championed the composition for several months and with the remixes being provided by Monaque and Ryan Davis it has been one of 2012s most impressive packages. Legendary Tel Aviv-based DJ Sahar Z, longtime veteran of the global techno-house scene, resident DJ of "Haoman 17" (the biggest and most prestigious club in Israel) has emerged as Israel's finest DJ Talents, winning for three consecutive years the DJ of the year award, sponsored by "DJ HaIr" (Israel's most popular music magazine). Not limited by any genre or style, Sahar Z's influences come from many directions wich gives him his unique sound that transports the crowd through a journey of atmospheres and moods from deeply melodic sounds and fresh electronica to the harder yet soulful techno edges. Today he's one of the owners/DJs of the most famous underground club in Tel Aviv "The Cat & Dog".

In late 2010, Cédric Bros, known as Marcelus did one better, debuted on the DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted House imprint with a phenomenal four track package entitled EP 1 - the Ben Klock influenced "Friction" a glorious highlight. This was then followed by EP 2, which saw Marcelus overnight become one of the most talked about names in techno, with DJs adorning their sets and podcast with the hypnotic loops of "Life Cycle" and the EPs stand out "Shape", instantly recognisable for its plummeting bassline. In 2012 he shared the 10Inch01 split EP with Markus Suckut, supplying the dangerous "Warhead" for Repitch Recordings, a three-pronged industrial venture run by Ascion, D. Carbone and Shapednoise - a label also linked to the mysterious Voilet Poison imprint and responsible for AnD's recent Features Vol 3 EP. Maintaining his two release-a-year upkeep, Marcelus then succeeded Tresor's 250th release milestone - part one of a remix series for Juan Atkins Infiniti project - with four speedy cuts of '90s inspired techno. His EP, Enlightenment, the first for his own Singular Records, maintains Marcelus' refreshing take on tough techno with another secret weapon DJs will be arming themselves with. The first EP for his label came from Vienna producer Claudia Anderson with her debut Hysteria, a release that could have caused as much excitement as Marcelus' debut had it been released by DJ Deep. Once again Marcelus doesn't disappoint with his debut, supplying more rock solid techno to his already impressive catalogue, cementing Cédric Bros one of the most reliable names in techno production today.
