Celebrating 15 years at the very top, esteemed Serbian-Australian Dragan Roganovic is best known as Dirty South, the two-time Grammy and ARIA nominated producer.

Marking the 15 year milestone, his new album, the aptly titled XV, marks a stark evolution in the highly acclaimed superstar’s sound, highlighting his artistic journey over the past decade-and-a-half. A diverse and dynamic dance mogul equally capable of producing club-ready anthems or film score sounds, Dirty South has also proved himself to be equally adept at remixing, spinning reworks for the likes of Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, U2, Miiike Snow and Temper Trap.

A frequent and relentless live performer, Dirty South has dominated the international touring circuit, including headlining gigs at Creamfields, Avalon Hollywood, Tomorrowland, Storm Festival, Big Slap Festival, EDC and many more.

With XV set for release on 2nd February, Dirty South might be celebrating 15 years of a truly remarkable career in 2018, but for the highly personable producer, 15 is only the beginning, as this year shapes up to be his biggest and brightest so far!

Sean Tyas, a New York native, now residing in Switzerland, brings to the dancefloor a mix of melodic harmony and driving groove that is sure to be just as effective on the legs as it is on the heart.

He got his start in 1999 with his first set of Tech-12s and started to learn how to mix music, but just for fun on the side and a good excuse to buy dance records. But for him, this was not enough. In the coming couple of years, he put together a studio and began producing records as well. By the age of twenty six, he has already remixed artists such as Christina Aguilera, Pink, Moby, Daniel Bedingfield, Christina Milian, and PPK. During this time he got his start into professional DJing with clubs in NYC such as Shelter and Exit.

Moving to Europe proved to be a great move for Sean, doing all production for DJ Beam in Germany and building his experience as a studio producer. Eventually Sean decided to step away, concentrated much more on his own productions and remixes. "Mirella" was the product of this exodus, as it was promptly signed to Afterglow Recordings, seeing John Askew and Dave Joy remixes. This led to a follow-up remix of Duderstadt - Muhanjala, which has seen almost every playlist of any trance DJ this year, including Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk.

Sean's remix of Beam - "On your Mind" proved to be another HUGE club smash. Caned CONSTANTLY by the likes of Paul van Dyk, John O'Callaghan, & Armin van Buuren, this remix essentially locked Sean in as one of 2006's more endeared talents in the genre.

The hype on his first Discover single "Lift", was even more amplified by Sean's winning of the Sander van Doorn - Punk'd Remix Competition, beating out over 250 other remixes. The following year and a half up until now, Sean has quickly been solidifying his place in the trance music genre with relentless remixes and productions.

On the DJ side of things, Sean has hit the ground at a running pace, and by now in 2008 he has already played in over 30 countries spread across 5 continents. As 2009 comes around, Sean will now be getting back to the studio to focus on his original productions, and develop more as a production artist.

Niki Sadeki
---------------------------------------

Niki Sadeki is a self-taught, high-spirited creative, emboldened by the ideas, minds and sounds
scattered in her midst. At the core of it all, a desire to connect people – be it through rhythm, events,
or materializing projects. Whether DJ, radio host, event organizer, label collaborator, curator and
producer, Niki moves along with spontaneity, and a get things done ethos.
As a DJ, she’s gradually amplified a signature sound fluidly grounded in deep, progressive, up and
downtempo ranges. What carries her sets has less to do with genre and more to do with isolating a
mood, and building up different currents around it. Her love for selecting and spreading these moods has
seen her found Deep House Vancouver, join the Quetame label ranks, host the Allure show on Frisky
Radio, and produce sets for channels around the world, sprinkling the pages of United We Stream,
trndmsk, Deep House London and Balance Series. Niki also curates Souq Record’s glistening annual
compilation, Mirror for the Sun.
From her days expressing herself on the guitar, raiding her parents’ records, and exploring the worlds of
grunge, jazz or psychedelic rock, and traditional Persian music, she’s carried over the knack for
complementing dark and light frequencies, gliding in between without shying away from diving in.
Niki travels with a spring in her steps, leaving her mark at spaces like Fusion Festival, Kater Blau, Village
Underground London, Shelter Amsterdam, Woomoon Ibiza and Storytellers Tulum, The Cityfox
Experience, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, and regularly at Gorg-O-Mish in her native Vancouver, where
mountains, ocean and city converge. Her down to earth and steady love for sound has shaped a
willingness to always adapt to the situation at hand, making the best out of it on a musical and a human
level.

It's all about that inherent groove.....if it makes me want to groove or dance, I play it, I hope you dance too 
Karin’s love of music started early. Having grown up surrounded by family members’ bands, music was always an integral part of her life. She fell in love with dance music when the local independent radio station played Praga Khan and Lords of Acid, followed by Faithless and The Crystal Method. She soon found the dance floor nearly every night of the week, and when she moved to LA in 2002 her friends taught her how to mix records. She quickly started dj’ing at the clubs in LA, and also had the honor of playing one of her very first shows on the analog sound system at Stereo Montreal; as well as in San Francisco and Spain.

Karin loves to dance, and wants to bring the infectious energy she feels from the music to the dance floor. She is a journey dj, deeply influenced by Sasha’s creativity and his sets with John Digweed. She is a dancer at heart, so the music she plays has to have that “inherent groove”. Her sets range from deep, melodic, techy, progressive grooves, to trance and techno, with usually some breaks thrown in as well.

If the floor is having a good time, she is happy. If they are losing their minds to what they are hearing, even

Super 8 & Tab
----------------------------

Super8 & Tab have proved time and time again they’re scene leaders who are taking their in-demand sounds into the future. The Finnish duo’s groundbreaking 2006 debut ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ helped kickstart the ‘Hybrid Trance’ revolution and was the foundation for a decade of releases on the Anjunabeats label.

In 2016 they transitioned onto the powerhouse Armada label where they’ve once again left their mark on the electronic dance music scene, initially with a flurry of hit singles such as ‘Mega’, ‘Cosmo’ and ‘Quest’ in the run up to their critically acclaimed third artist album in 2018 titled ‘Reformation’ and now in 2019 their ‘Past, Present & Future’ compilation concept.

Always with an eye to the future, Janne Mansnerus and Miika Eloranta remain unparalleled in creating euphoric dancefloor experiences – whether this comes via one of their high-energy DJ sets at leading events and festivals around the world, or within the four walls of their Helsinki studio.

“‘Reformation’ was about keeping that forward momentum going” Janne says. “We tried to break old habits, bring new elements to the music and how we work in the studio. We have a new label and a lot of new people working on our team which creates a whole new vibe.”

To date the ‘Reformation’ album has clocked up well over 12 million plays Spotify and spawned numerous hit singles, ranging from crossover vocal anthems such as ‘True Love’, ‘Seconds Away’ and ‘Burn’ through to underground dancefloor destroyers like ‘Pressure’ and their ‘Noom’ collaboration with Cosmic Gate.

Both their previous artist albums on Anjunabeats, ‘Empire’ and ‘Unified’, saw Janne and Miika pushing sonic boundaries too, with hit singles like ‘Irufushi’, ‘Black Is The New Yellow’, ‘Let Go’ and ‘No Frontiers’ reaching legendary status amongst producer peers and clubbers alike. Throughout it all, Janne and Miika have won their loyal fanbase by continuously pushing their sound forward, while staying true to their roots.

Super8 & Tab allowed themselves a partial retrospective look at their illustrious career to date in their ‘Past, Present & Future’ compilation this year. The concept proved a massive hit with fans as evident by the extensive ‘Past, Present & Future’ branded club shows across Europe, North America and Asia. Miika described the thinking behind the album as follows:

“Whenever we play out in the clubs or at festivals, fans always ask us to play tracks from across our whole back catalogue, not just the latest hits. With ‘Past, Present & Future’ we’re taking our fans on a deep journey, with originals from years ago, our own remixed versions of some of those tracks, singles that are on release right now and also new music that people won’t have heard yet.”

As a DJ duo Super8 & Tab have been gracing some of the biggest stages on the planet; festival plays at Armin van Buuren’s ASOT events, Tomorrowland, Transmission, Airbeat One and Luminosity, plus legendary club brands the world over such as Ministry Of Sound London, Hï Ibiza, Zouk Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Avalon LA and many more besides, including special Open To Close and Dolby Atmos sets at selected venues worldwide.

Always pushing musical boundaries and striving for new goals, the next chapter in the Super8 & Tab story is never far away and you can be sure it will be an exciting journey ahead.
