Dixon (Sonar Kollektiv, Berlin) Steffen Berkhahn, also known as Dixon, is best known for his genre-bending compositions that blur the lines between the usual categorical phrasing of hip-hop, trip-hop, jiggy breakbeat, and buttery soul. His work in Wahoo, along with Georg Levin, was hailed with praise; much as his Compost remix contribution for Sonar Kollektiv labelmates Jazzanova imbued a critically stellar track on their remix compilation. His residencies in Berlin at Tresor and E-Werk anchored him as a mainstay in the dirty, glorious nightlife of Germany forevermore. tag:odeo.com,2005-12-11,495610 Sun, 11 Dec 2005 13:52:20 -0800 no Red Bull Music Academy 2005 http://odeo.com/episodes/495608-RBMA-Lecture-Session-with-Jeremy-Harding-Part-1 Jamaica’s Jeremy Harding, leading exponent of dancefloor riddims, explored a wealth of knowledge and experience related to Reggae and Ragga history.

Kidderminster-born, Berlin-based Ewan Pearson has been rocking hats ‘n kicks since ’96 – turbo-boosting the floors of dance temples across Europe, from Slam, Fabric and The End in the UK, to super-sized nights at Paris’ Rex Club, and Berlin’s Tresor. In between, he’s found a minute or two to write a book and some tunes, and remixed everybody from Funk d’Void to Playgroup, Erlend Oye and Black Strobe. Ewan is also slated to produce the upcoming album by New York’s rock-dance darlings The Rapture.
