Since September 2009 and the first record from Berlin based Stroboscopic Artefacts, for more than ten years, label has been consistently unparalleled in its ambition and vision. By exploring new spheres in techno and providing sounds that never existed, label refused to perpetuate the established dichotomies of electronic music - between club and home, between dance and experiment, between the past and the future. Exciting approach of Lucy and artists related with her label: Alessandro Adriani, Efdemin, James Ruskin, Rrose, Kangding Ray, Xhin, Luke Slater determines that the boundaries of techno are often just results of limited imagination. Distinct, esoteric sound signature evolved around Stroboscopic Artefacts and Lucy became globally acclaimed, thanks to the rare ability of reaching the audience by pushing them out of their comfort zone.

It is hard to find something which wasn't already said and written about Speedy J, considered to be one of the first Benelux techno producers. Since the early nineties, Jochem George Paap was one of the first who define the shapes of techno. Releasing tens of EPs and albums on legendary labels like Novamute, Plus 8, Warp and his own Beam Me Up! quickly placed him between legends like Aphex Twin, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin and gave opportunity for further explorations. In proportion to the growing interest for techno music in late nineties, Speedy J decided to search for other exciting musical areas. It was also the time of receiving positive feedback for his work from IDM kings like Autechre or Mike Paradinas. Speedy J for decades has been continuously experimenting and pushing the boundaries of electronic dance music as well as definitions of DJing and live performance. Still quite often he can be found playing 6 Decks All Night Long Set for few thousands ravers. Beside of his own never-ending artistic activity, Jochem George Paap is a founder of Electric Deluxe label, which, since 2008, gather producers faithful to the vision of creative freedom at the highest level of innovation and quality.
