BlueTone aka Versho & Bobby Starrr

🔊 First production work together since 2011 and this time on the Remix tip for 'Like Acid' with Shalon out now on Hypernatural Recordings.

🤝 Coming straight out of a chance meeting of minds, to building a connection for creative sonic jams, STARRRecordings was a new label set up at the time with Chicago's Jordan Fields via the creative hub of forward-thinking Berlin.

👬🏻 Centred around the productive talents of Robert M Stanley aka Bobby Starrr and Rotterdam ́s Dennis Vos aka Versho (Clone Records), recording under the production duo alias of BlueTone, which takes influences from the House sounds which are currently moving the dance floors in Berlin, to their own backgrounds in Deep Disco, Drum and Bass and Techno.

👨🏽‍🚒👨🏽‍🔬 The sound of Blue Tone is a combination of patterns, rhythms and sonic delights which are all rolled together into a classic spectrum that is filed under House Music.

Stereokultur
Architect, Multi-Media Artist, Radio Presenter, DJ & Producer

Back in August 2016, Bobby landed for three days in Beirut to perform at the legendary B018 club to promote his recent LP as Jack The Box with Tyree Cooper. Over lots of Lebanese hospitality, Studio visits and Radio Interviews a strong bromance was created between host and promoter Marc Haddad aka Stereokultur and Bobby with the intention of growing the Berlin-Beirut connection in the same vane as Bobby’s previous Jack The Box missions in Amsterdam, Helsinki and Paris.

Over a few months, the beginnings of tracks were forming via online sessions and F2F meetings in Bobby's basement studio in Kreuzberg, several vocalists were discussed but Marc was convinced by seeing Laura Lopez perform live several times at the Discobanana parties in his city so It only made sense to him to ask Laura and no other.

“Beirut totally tantalised me to the point I wanted to go back and work with the wonderful people I had met there, Stereokultur and myself created a mini LPs worth of ideas and had already planned to work with local vocalists in Arabic and English and record them in a superb downtown studio near the bay, sadly through a lot of mad ass moments in history, spanners were thrown into these works and the positive energy wanned. Bring on CoVid & 2020 and a need to escape outside our apartments and houses brought us back to the emotions of Laura’s vocals and the drive to complete this movement for change” says Starrr

MoOdY KabLaWi

🌆 Moody and Bobby Starrr met at Rasha Nahas’s Bedroom-Sessions in Friedrichshain Berlin and their conversation went straight to the similar sounds they were both interested in, which gave them the feeling that they fit under the same umbrella so to speak.

👨🏾‍🎤 Through his creativity and positive drive to move forward and not stop in the present he has overcome an eye condition called “Nystagmus”, while the result of his home base change from Haifa to Berlin, Disco and Electro Funk styles are now firmly twisted into his original middle eastern sound.

🪐 Since the age of 15 music has been his main creative tool to deal with social and political topics. He has toured Europe and the USA with different ensembles in his late teens and has put together numerous music and creative projects.

🌶 Already a firm favourite with the Hypernatural.Berlin family, he brings an extra taste of hot sauce to a perfect Maftoul Dish.

Ukko
Ukko is DJ Upi’s actual first name Ukko-Pekka Itäpelto and it means the Finnish god of thunder. Nowadays he usually plays under his newer moniker since it feels good to leave the clubs in the dark.

Ukko doesn’t usually play at normal clubs or bars but concentrates on excellent underground action and burner events. Ukko has performed peak time sets in Slakthuset (Stockholm) and his massive Paino. underground parties which are headlined by the likes of Makam (Dekmantel, Ostgut Ton) and Trevor Deep Jr. (HPTY, Nsyde). To top this, he’s been firing some serious techno bombs at underground parties like Alppila Underground, LahtiUG, KatveUG and Metsälä.

In 2013-2016 Upi performed in front of 2000 people who were wearing nothing but bikinis or swimming shorts in a waterpark in Espoo, Finland. His usual routines also include playing on boats, in a public sauna building or old train tunnels.

Upi is part of the Berlin-based Jack The Box brotherhood / Jack The Box 54 and a long term co-worker at Misc. Management, the oldest DJ booking agency in Finland. Together they formed the base for his radio broadcasts: Tyree Cooper and Bobby Starrr's Jack The Box show was heard on Sweat Lodge Radio and MiscBehaving is still the longest-running show on nationwide Bassoradio. The latter one was visited by artists like Rolando, H.O.S.H., Dirt Crew and Jody Wisternoff, etc.

Upi has played in almost every decent club night in Finland, rocked KaterHolzig and Humboldthain in Berlin and various venues in the Netherlands, Tokyo and around Asia.

Laura Lopez

I am a performer! Model, Moderator, Dancer and Singer

Heidelberger Laura Lopez hit German TVs in 2015 on DSDS rising through the thousands to the last ten standing. With her Caribbean roots from her father and Latin flare from her Mother Laura was born with an insane hip swing as both her parents are dance teachers!

As a Vocalist Laura doesn’t stick to one particular goal or musical direction, although her focus leans towards soul, funk, hip-hop, jazz and electronic music, her flexibility to move between genres with confidence and panache shows there her work.

According to the legendary German Music Business connoisseur Dieter Bohlen "You are a complete professional, out of everyone here in the competition, you can move the best, out of everyone in the competition you are "the most sexiest girl in town".

In 2017 her work took her to be based in Dubai and while there she performed regularly over that Summer period at the colourful ‘Discobanana’ parties at Discotek Beirut. It’s during this moment she connected with Lebanese DJ Stereokultur who was the resident DJ at the very same events and a solid connection was made.

“Beirut totally tantalised me to the point I wanted to go back and work with the wonderful people I had met there, Stereokultur and myself created a mini LPs worth of ideas and had already planned to work with local vocalists in Arabic and English and record them in a superb downtown studio near the bay, sadly through a lot of mad ass moments in history, spanners were thrown into these works and the positive energy wanned. Bring on CoVid & 2020 and a need to escape outside our apartments and houses brought us back to the emotions of Laura’s vocals and the drive to complete this movement for change” says Starrr
