Radikal Dub Kolektiv are a high energy live performance band with a d.i.y. background playing upbeat dub music. Founded in 2002 they are internationally known as a tight playing band soaking up influences from roots/dub to trance and ambient and giving each elements the right treatment via effect and sample-loaded live dub mixing. 2007 saw two releases on the Universal Egg label run by UK dub pioneers Zion Train – the 10" 'A Brighter Future feat. Lua', followed by the 'Bass Matters' album which even got nominated as the best international released album on Porin 2008. So far RDK played 5 tours abroad and we're happy to present you RDK's first stop of their 6th european tour in Graz.

Cyrus from Random Trio began his DJ
career back in 1998 as a UK Garage DJ and has been one of the early
pioneering DJs/producers of the sound we now call Dubstep. Various
pirate radio shows followed along with more bookings. By 2003 Cyrus had
made a batch of tunes and brought out his 1st release on his imprint
RTP. This was 'The Lost City EP'. With the successful debut album "From
The Shadows" on Pinch's Tectonic label and being featured in a block
buster movie and soundtrack, Cyrus has gone from strength to strength.
Regulary found playing all over the world and with guest sets on the
uks biggest radio stations Kiss and Radio 1.
Debuting with his Soon EP on Graz’ Houseverbot imprint in
2005, Simon/off has been constantly
evolving his unique sound, heavily influenced by Dubstep, IDM and
related genres of electronic dance music. His current productions are
getting DJ support from the likes of Distance and Bunzer0, and his
intoxicating live shows and dj sets have already fascinated audiences
in various cities such as London, Berlin, Vienna and last but not least
his homebase Graz.
El Rakkas are ChristoFX &
Marty. While the one is strongly influenced by minimal techno, the
other one has his roots in reggae, which reflects itself in their tunes
as well. So far they've had a netlabel release on luv called "Seas of
Disease" as well as some forthcoming vinyl and netlabel releases in the
next few months. In their back-to-back DJ sets, they play mostly a
mixture of percussive dubstep, bassy minimal and reverbed dub-techno to
create an unique piece of deep music.
Through her love for bass music feelipa
has pushed the sound of dubstep for years being a longstanding member
of Zagreb's cfsn as well as Graz' very own disko404. Her current DJ
sets consist of a good mixture of bass music styles around 140 bpm -
from deep to bouncy and beyond - with an eye on the dancefloor she
definately knows how to roll.
Always keen to listen to as much music as possible daily, restless in
search, zvonko is a DJ in favour of
inspiring people to listen, rather than letting them dance. Musically
wide ranged and of course experimental is what makes his sets unique.
