KiNK

Strahil Velchev a.k.a KiNK is an innovative, uncompromising producer, captivating dj and live performer from Bulgaria, incorporating in his record the very best examples of the electronic music with a KiNK twist. In his early teenage years he was raving on acid, techno, proto-hardcore and jungle. At 20 he got his hands on one of the first modular software synthesizers. At 27 he got his first vinyl released and few years later everybody who dig deeper for quality electronic music had heard of him. There are a few things that shape Strahil's accomplished sound: his patience and persistency in the studio, his long experience as a music listener, his love for the soul and the pristine sound of the old music and his passion for the futurism.

Strahil used to perform as a dynamic and skillful DJ mainly for Bulgarian audience till 2009, when due to a higher demand by the international club scene he decided to take a new challenge: finding a way to play his own music live. The Bulgarian artist found his live setup as a mixture of dusty analog gadgets and modern digital technology. KiNK performs with his machines in the same way as he play records – he is fast, busy, he takes risks and he is pushing his tools to the limit. KiNK played as a dj and live at some of the best spots for underground dance music in Sofia, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Hannover, Vienna, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Milano, London, Glasgow, Dublin, etc.

Now after series of successful records with his music, Strahil feels bigger artistic freedom and he is encouraged to push harder the musical barriers in 2011. KiNK`s release schedule includes an artist album for Ovum records, productions for Rush Hour, Liebe*Detail, Systematic and other friends of him.

SEBA LECOMPTE

After exploring his parents record collection and also influenced by some older friends Seba discovered electronic music at a very young age.

In the summer of 1994 he began to collect records and started to deejay at the age of 13.

In his early days Seba played all kinds of electronic music but influenced by the sounds of Detroit his style evolved to a mix of minimal over tech-house to melodic and solid techno. As Seba finds most techno deejays too monotone, he tries to put more variation and melody in his sets.

Seba is one of the driving members of the Belgian techno collective called SoundAttack. Since 2001 the SoundAttack crew organised more than 30 events and invited guests such as Joris Voorn (Nl), Gabriel Ananda (Ger), Magda (Can), Dave Ellesmere (Uk), Estroe (Nl), Miss Yetti (Ger), Stewart Walker (Usa), Pheek (Can), Dave Mothersole (Uk), Heartthrob (Usa), Anders Ilar (Swe) to name a few.

Over the years Seba performed all over Belgium. Highlights of 13 years behind the decks are his sets at places like Fuse, Kozzmozz, 10 Days Off, I Love Techno, Laundry Day, Café D'Anvers, Silo, Decadance, Made In Brussels, ...

Seba also started to spread his vibe abroad: he played at Raum-Klang (Berlin), Folies Pigalles (Paris), Paradiso (Amsterdam), Doornroosje / Planet Rose (Nijmegen), Sugarfactory (Amsterdam) and The Old Cave (Nijmegen)

In 2004 Seba became a weekly resident at Club Decadance in Gent on their techno Wednesdays.
