For over two decades, Mike Parker has developed a distinctive and instantly recognizable take on techno, earning global respect and influencing artists like Donato Dozzy. He first emerged in 1997 with two standout EPs that set the foundation for his sound, followed by the launch of his Geophone label in 1998. This imprint became a key platform for his releases, including a series of 12” records and his debut album, all of which helped define his sonic identity. As his reputation grew in the U.S., his productions gained traction in Europe, landing on renowned labels such as Tresor, Semantica, and Spazio Disponibile, while his second album, released on Prologue in 2013, received critical acclaim. In 2019, he reignited his Geophone imprint, continuing to shape the evolution of techno.
As a DJ, Parker rose through the 1990s U.S. warehouse scene, earning recognition for his hypnotic, abstract, and powerful sets. His deep experience behind the decks has taken him across North America, Europe, and Asia, solidifying his status as a respected underground veteran. From humble beginnings to an influential career, Parker has built an impressive legacy defined by innovation and a commitment to techno’s core values. Even after 20 years, he remains a driving force in electronic music, consistently pushing boundaries while staying true to his roots.

Adam X is a pioneering figure in the NYC techno scene, active since 1990 and globally recognized for bridging techno with industrial and EBM sounds. Born and raised in Brooklyn, he quickly rose through the underground with early productions and DJ sets, while also helping shape the local scene alongside his brother Frankie Bones. Together, they founded Groove Records—one of the first dedicated techno outlets in the U.S.—and organized early events like the legendary Storm Rave, which helped define East Coast warehouse culture and launched many future techno icons.
In 1995, Adam X established the Sonic Groove label, which has since released over 100 records and remains a key platform for industrial and techno artists. Known for his uncompromising, boundary-pushing approach, his DJ sets and productions have been instrumental in shaping acid techno and industrial-techno crossover scenes. Through multiple side projects and collaborations, including AX&P with Perc, as well as releases on influential labels like Wax Trax! and CLR, he has maintained a lasting impact on global electronic music. Now based in Berlin, he continues to run his label, organize events at Tresor, and perform worldwide, solidifying his legacy as a driving force in underground techno.
